After almost an entire hour of flying through the ashen, molten landscape that was the second layer of the Gigant, Li finally found something of noteworth. One of his Alpha Rocs notified him, giving him a distinct sense of threat.
A whole hour of boredom had left Tia sleeping snugly, cuddled up on the back of an Alpha Roc, and Li raised his voice as gently as he could.
"Tia," said Li. "Time to wake up. We've got something."
Tia heard Li's voice and woke up slowly, rubbing her eyes with her small hands and yawning. "Papa? We fight now?" she said groggily.
"Yes, and this is going to be your fight, Tia. Make sure to get a stretch in to work out the stiffness after you wake up," said Li.
