"Whoever you are," I said into the depths of my cave. "Please help me. Anything you could do would be appreciated."

  I sat there in silence, hoping, praying that something would come and do something. Nothing happened for about a minute. Then I heard the voice.

  THE ANSWER HAS BEEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU THE WHOLE TIME, I sensed the voice in my head. FEEL THE CREATURES IN THE OCEAN.

  I did and it dawned on me that under the earth there were creatures bigger and more powerful than anything on the surface. There was literally a creature that spanned the entire ocean floor.

  I took the power and felt myself swell bigger than I had ever felt. I went further and took matter from every large creature I could find in the vicinity.

  I was about to explode back onto the fight scene when the voice spoke again.

  WAIT, it said. YOU ALSO MUST MAKE A RUNE IF YOU WISH TO DEFEAT THIS BEAST. DO IT RIGHT AWAY AS IT WILL USE MOST OF YOUR ENERGY.

  As the voice spoke I felt a sort of imprint on my brain that I instinctively knew I could activate if I used my immense amount of matter that I had already collected.

  With that final command I burst back onto the surface. It was time to fight.
