Zizi speaks with blood gargling out of her mouth,” I looove yooou!”
Before the boy could say that he loved her too her body finally gave up and died.
The boy cries as tries to get his mother to respond.
#
Several minutes go by and Tenlong fails to revive his mother. The boy does not understand that Zizi is dead. Tenlong raises his body off his mother's chest and looks up into the sky screaming as loud as he could.
Something curious occurs with the body of the four year old boy.
His body begins to cover some sort of energy called by some people to be magic or even ki to a lesser magnitude of people.
Tenlong's body size changes rapidly and his body begins to grow to that of an adult. His height rises from four feet to seven feet and his weight at around one hundred pounds to that of three hundred pounds.
Some people of the planet of Violio have the ability to reach physical maturity very quickly.
Tenlong had always asked her about them from his mother. She had told him about it one day.
#
They were at their house with them siting in the front in old chair. Tenlong was sitting in his mother's lap when he asks her a question.
“Mommy, who are these giants I heard about? I want to know more about them! Please tell me, mommy.”
The young mother looks surprised by such a question from such a young boy.
Zizi speaks,” What giants are you talking about? I do not know what you are talking about.”
The boy frowns and starts to look mad as if his mother is supposed to just know what he was talking about.
Tenlong speaks,” The ones everybody talks about! The ones who had once ruled this world!”
Zizi finally gets what her son is saying and has a look of acknowledgment on her face.
She speaks,”You mean the Gigantos? That is the only ones that I have heard about. Are you talking about those giants?”
The frown on Tenlong's face turns from a frown to that of a smile.
Zizi speaks,” I do know that they used to be pretty common, but they were believed to be extinct for centuries. But some how they must have survived since they begin to become apparent to others over the last few decades. Some people had believe that the Gigantos had intermarried with other people to survive over all these years.”
The boy looks happy with the story that his mother had told him and hugs his mother.
Tenlong spoke,” Why did they all begin to die out?”
The mother is stunned by the questions of her son but humors him anyway.
Zizi speaks,”They were warriors and they fought with each other until they were all believed to
died. They were very strong and smart. but they were said to be very competitive, and war like in their nature. They fought to the death to see who the strongest fighter was. Their mighty power became their
own destruction!”
The boy said,” Thank you!” and ran away to play.

Tenlong had been carrying the blood of a Giganto as was evident of the enlarged Tenlong.
The young lad had always wished to be large as the Gigantos and he had gotten his wish. Violio was a very large planet and people had the potential to grow into giants of up to thirty plus feet. Gravity was ten times higher than the typical life barring planet. People that were over seven to ten plus feet in height were common place on planet Violio. It was said that the other continents of Violio had even taller people living in lands other than where Lowroda was located at.
Tenlong's height was not at it's max and could grow throughout his entire life since the Giganto' bodies grew larger as they age. They often lived for at least two hundred years old but most did not die of old age as the legends say. This was because they often died in battle rather than to relent to old age. Tenlong was told by his mother Zizi that all those of Gigantos blood seem to seek out danger or better yet danger seem to follow them their entire lives.
Zizi had always struggled to keep her boy fed but she managed nonetheless. She just had thought that her son was just a big eater and she catered to him because of Tenlong's large size for his age. She knew that her son was a giant and he would grow to that of a very large man. But never in her wildest dreams did she think that her son, Tenlong was a descendant of the Gigantos.
Tenlong's clothes ripped off when he increased in size and he was totally naked. He was in so much grief that he did not even notice that his body had changed.
The boy was still on his
knees kneeling next to his mother's dead body crying uncontrollably.
#
Hours go by and Tenlong is still crying about his mother's death. He is grieving very deeply since he had lost his mother. Zizi was the only family that Tenlong had knew of. His father was nowhere to be found and the boy had become an orphan at only four years old. Tenlong was at a loss to what to do and did not even know what was going on around him. He was in a total grief mode and was apathetic to all things that were all around him.
Anger begins to grow from within the boy and he yells out of rage. Tenlong does not like that he was helpless to protect his mother. He stands to his feet and he looks down on his mother's cadaver.
Something catches the boy's attention and it makes him ponder.
The size of his hands and arms has grown tremendously. He also sees that he is naked and he blushes. He runs over to his mother buggy and finds no clothes that were in his size as he thought. He has the idea to use a blanket as a makeshift loincloth. He finds a couple of more blankets and he uses one blanket as a shirt. The blanket is going over one shoulder and also wrapped around his waist. He cuts a blanket in half and wraps each half around both of his legs.
#
It was not an easy task for Tenlong for him to make some clothes for himself but he does it nonetheless. He returns to his mother's body and begins to swell up with rage. He wants revenge!
He speaks,” I will avenge you momma! I will make those that hurt you pay! This body is what I always wanted and I will use it to find the man, no the monster that had killed you! I promise you that!”
Tenlong picked up Zizi's bloodied body and he decides to bury her back home. He does not know his way back so it will be a long journey.
#
An hour goes by and he is still not home. He has stopped crying and has an expression of fury on his reddened face. He stops for nothing and speaks to no one that may pass him. A few people travel near Tenlong and race away when they see him and what he is carrying. After a while, people stop
coming towards him as he marches back home solemnly.
