Franz found himself shocked at his current stance. Sitting there on his butt, both legs out in front of him, having smashed holes through the halls. His arms exposed to the outside by another set of giant circles. Luckily though, his growth seemed to have stopped, as he so found out when the ceiling of the house touched his head in a rather painful manner. All he could see at the moment was the remainder of the walls that used to belong to the second story bedrooms. He couldn't see outside though and had no idea where his feet had landed. His arms could be moved though, although Franz was worried about causing even more damage.
Outside, Forde was standing more than 20 meters away from his former house, unable to speak or even move. He had witnessed what could have been the world's possibly weirdest thing ever. The house was ruined, wood pieces were all over the place along with doors and bits of window. It was even more shocking for the knight to see his brother's giant boots, on either side of him. They were probably the same height as him. Those powerful feet that had just smashed through the walls of the house like it was cardboard...Forde didn't know what to think. He just stood, mouth open, stunned and beyond amazed. How did this happen? What could he do now? Try to get help? Repair the house? Go in and speak to his giant of a brother?
Luckily, someone came by and snapped Frode from his little shocked episode. It was Joshua, the gambling swordsman. He was dressed in his usual outfit, with a sword by his side. What was unusual about Joshua was, that he took once look at the house/giant body of Franz and acted completely unsurprised, like this was an everyday occurrence.
"Ah..tsk tsk tsk. Looks like Franz has been playing around with improper magic again." The young swordsman shook his head as he looked at the scene in front of him. "What a shame too. Such a nice house.."
Forde's eye twitched as he turned to Joshua. "What? Are you kidding? Look what happened! What are we going to do! I mean, he's just so big, like a giant. And the house! Where am I going to sleep? What would Prince Ephraim say about this? I.."
Joshua sighed as he looked at the pitiful sight of the older (and normal sized) sibling. "Look, this happens all the time. Lyon sends us a fake gift, something weird and random and then some member of the alliance army uses it by accident and disastrous things happen. You're lucky all Franz did was grow to a giant. It could have been a lot worse you know."
Forde looked even worse after hearing this. "So..what should we do?" He questioned the other man for advice.
"Go tell Ephraim. I'm sure he has some kind of thing that could counter this. You might want to find Molder too - maybe he can perform some healing magic." Joshua was eager to send the babbling knight away for he was curious to head into the house and speak to Franz - if Franz was still capable of speaking of course.
Eventually Forde left, racing towards the direction of the castle where Ephraim and Erika were staying in the village and Joshua was left alone to peer with delight and curiosity at the broken house and the giant knight that was now trapped in it...Oh boy. This could get interesting for him.
