Mystic Island

Mystic Island

        It was a warm day, during summer vacation, on the famed cruise ship, the S.S. Gulliver. It was a grand cruise ship, twenty levels making this the biggest cruise ship of them all. It even had its own pool, concert area, ballroom, and huge deck to just sun bathe. Two girls were hanging out on the bow of the ship looking at the gray-blue dolphins that were racing in front of the ship. The first girl was named Giselle. She was 5’8” skinny had brown hair; she was wearing a bikini top and a mini skirt. The other girl was named Marleen, she was 5’6” had an athletic body, black hair, a somewhat big ass, and she was wearing a two piece bikini. Both girls were about to enter their freshman year of college at SDSU.
        “Man, this is the life!” Marleen screamed into the wind in a joyful tone, “No parental, no rules, no school, nothing except for FUN!!!” The two girls then hug each other in their excitement. “Uh, you might need to take a rain check on the fun part.” Giselle responded in a sad tone. “Why, should I?” Marleen shot back sarcastically. Giselle simply pointed behind Mareen’s head. Marleen turned around and saw a huge thunder cloud gathering in the ship’s path. I was gigantic, gray, and swirling with thunderbolts. Every few seconds you could hear the crackle and rumble of thunder in the background. Both girls stared at the storm in disappointed. Suddenly the captain’s voice was heard over the loud speaker, “Attention, attention, all crewmen and passengers, we have a class red thunderstorm headed our direction. We don’t know how but it is moving in our direction. It is much too large to be avoided, I am ordering everyone to go inside and brace yourselves against the storm.”
        By the time the captain finished telling the crew to brace themselves the winds already started to pick up big time. It was throwing around tarps and beach chairs all over the place. The two girls tried panicking tried to run to safety but the wind knocked over one of the radio antennas and it completely blocked off their path to the cabins. “What are we going to do now?” “I really don’t know.” Giselle responded in a defeated tone. The girls decided it would be best if they hid in one of the life boats since they had secure tops on them.  The girls managed to barely, but safely make it to the life boat. They were safe for a while until they felt a hard knock against the life boat. It jolted them tremendously, enough to knock them unconscious for a while. The boat drifted threw the storm and managed to survive the storm while the cruise ship was struck in its center while a powerful bolt of lightening and sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
        The life boat drifted on top of the sea for days. The girls were starting to starve from lack of food and water. The girls ended up tearing the top off the boat so they could see where they were going and to look for dry land. “We’re going to die on a damn life boat at drift on the ocean.” Giselle screamed to no one in exasperation. Marleen went over to Giselle and simply hugged her. She gave up long ago trying to find something helpful to say. She too knew that she would probably die at sea. She looked over Giselle’s shoulder for the slightest hope that she would glimpse land. What she saw surprised her, “Hey, hey look over there. Tell me I’m not hallucinating and that’s an island over there.” Giselle slowing turned around and saw the same thing too. “You’re not hallucinating, I can see it too. Oh my Go, we’re saved, ha ha, we’re going to live!” the girls started jumping up and down hugging each other the best they could on the small boat.
        The island was tremendous in size. The girls thought that it could have populated because of its sheer size. It had lush green forests, clean water; it had nice rock formations on the beach to make a camp, plenty of palm and banana trees for a good food supply.  The girls got out the ores to help reach land quicker. They arrived in no time at all. When they reached land, they jumped the boat as fast as they could and they drop themselves at the sandy beach enjoying the fact that they actually made it to land safely. They soon got over the shock and happiness of land and started to look around the island. “Wow, this place is pretty big. I hope this place is inhabited, if it isn’t I’m going to go crazy.” “Well I guess you’re in luck Giselle, look over there, there’s a cage trap right in the shrubs over there.” Both girls ran over to the trap to see what was in it and to wait where someone would find them. When they arrived at the trap they were pretty surprised at what they saw. The cage was roughly big enough for a small dog to fit in it, but that wasn’t what the girls were so surprised about. Inside the small cage there was a grizzly bear. It wasn’t a cub; it was an adult grizzly bear, just, very, very small. “Oh, no way, this is bull shit. There’s no way that’s a real bear.” Marleen said in utter disbelief.
        Things soon got even weirder when they heard a strange noise coming from the bush next to them. The girls got scared and jumped back a little. Unbelievably enough a man walked out from inside the bush, he had long black hair, dark tanned skin, pretty muscular, had war paint on his chest face and arms. He carried a funky looking spear with a weirder silver tip. Except there was one problem, the man was only as tall as the girls’ knees. “What the fu-” Marleen managed to say before she was interrupted by the petite man. “Who are you strangers? Why are you trying to take my capture? I will take you before my people for trial.” the two girls just laughed at the small man’s accent and at what he was saying. He was no where near close enough to possibly boss them around plus he sounded like a French Tarzan. Giselle responded to the tiny man, “What makes you think that we’re going to go with you?” “Yeah, it’s not like YOU can force us.” Marleen added. The small man then poked Marleen with the staff that he was carrying. Apparently these island people had some form of technology because the end of the staff was electrocuted. It shocked Marleen pretty hard in the thigh. “Ouch, that hurt you little freak!” Marleen screamed in retaliatory rage. The girls didn’t manage to say much more because the man started wildly poking and prodding them in the legs. The girls yelled in agony while they tried to protect themselves from the painfully charged spear.
        The girls were covered in cuts, bruises, and burns by the time they had enough of the assaults. Giselle gathered enough courage to reach forward and grab the spear from the small man. She managed to grab on the tip before it could strike her again, but it was in a spot to where it could still shock her. Giselle yelled out in agony as she held the staff long enough for Marleen to jump in and grab the man away from his painful weapon. “What are you doing? Put me down you stupid bitches!”
 
  "You're gonna regret saying that little man," said Marleen. She was just about to hurt the little man before Giselle stopped her.
  "Wait Marleen," replied Giselle.
  "What are you doing?"
  "We've only just come here and we don't want to make any enemies. That's the last thing we want to do."
  But look what he's done to us my legs was perfect."
  "And they will be when they heal. Now its best to talk it out before anymore violence erupts. And I think that we should put him down."
  Marleen then reluctantly put the strange man down. They didn't give him his spear back. Instead Marleen snapped it in half. The two girls sat down so that the man didn't have to look up as much.
  "Now first off tell us about this place," said Giselle.
  "I'm not telling you anything," replied the Man.
  "If you don't I swear that I'm gonna!" shouted Marleen.
  "Marleen remember what I told you," snapped Giselle. "Ok little man. If it's about the bear you can have it. We've come in peace and we're not going to hurt you." Her voice was calm and gentle. "Now please tell us about this place."
  The man was a little calmer and he felt a little trust. "Ok firstly this island is cursed," said the Man.
  "That's so original," replied Marleen.
  "Marleen please," snapped Giselle again. "Pleas continue."
  "Those who step onto this island will have a change in size," replied the man. "For the native people and animals here they shrink to one fifth of their normal size. But for outlanders it works differently?"
  "How is it different?"
  "You will also change size but not like us. You will either start growing or shrinking in the next few hours."
  "Is there anyway of stopping this?"
  "I'm afraid not."
  "Also how many other people live here?"
  "There are two villages here but we have been at war with each other for decades."
  "What is this place called?"
  "This is Wigi."
  "And lastly please take us to your village. We've been on the sea for days and we are hungry and thirsty."
  "Ok follow me."
  He then started to run in a direction. The two girls stood up and followed him. But Marleen still didn't like the man.
  "Why should we trust him?" asked Marleen quietly. "Look what he did to us?"
  "That was a misunderstanding Marleen," replied Giselle. "Anyway we need help if we're going to survive here."
  "You are way too trusting to people."
  "And you do not trust enough."
  The man led the girls to his village. It was all suited for people of his stature and not the normal size of the girls. It looked a little like a Danish village but it had some twists to it. People had some vehicles that were on the left side of the road.
  "This place looks totally weird," said Marleen.
  "That's because we're new here," replied Giselle. "Besides we'll get used to it eventually."

  The two girls were greeted outside the village. The person greeting seemed to Mayor of this village. He was the same size as the other people. He saw them coming from the distance and he had a smile on his face.
  "Greeting outlanders," said the Mayor. "I see that Wucan has bought you to our village."
  "Wucan?" asked Marleen. "Oh you mean the little guy who kept zapping my legs."
  "Unfortunately he is a little untrusting to strangers. Hopefully he didn't hurt you too much."
  "No we'll be fine," replied Giselle. She then squatted down and she held her hand out to shake the hand of the Mayor. The pair shook hands. "Nice place you got here."
  "We have been here for countless generations. Please stay here as honoured guests."
  "We loved to do that."
  The girls were then granted access into the village. They had to be careful with where they put their feet. They weren't proper giantesses but they did feel like it here. They were taken to a place where they could get some food and water. The girls were close to collapsing and they ate and drank as much as they needed. But the man in charge of the food wasn't very happy.
  "They eat as much as ten men each," he said. "We'll starve if they stay here."
  "But we can do the work of ten men," replied Giselle. "How about this we'll farm our own food and what we don't eat we'll give to you."
  "Since when did we agree on that?" asked Marleen.
  "Since it’s very likely we'll be staying here for a while. I know that you don't like it and you'll probably hate me. But we need to things like this. When we get back to civilization we can say that we survived her and we can say about the people that we met."
  "There was something else that I was thinking about. Wucan said that we would be changing size soon."
  "Hopefully not too much."
  "What if when we leave this God forsaken place we stay that size? I can't walk the streets being as small as these guys."
  "You may never know maybe we'll grow."
  "We seem big enough already. But I wouldn't mind being a few inches taller. I hate being the shorter friend."
  "Hey you towered over me until high school years."
  "Those were the days."
  "Ok now let's find somewhere to farm."
  The girls then got up and started to look around the local area for anywhere where they could do a little farming. They were able to find a flat piece of land that had some small trees in it. They removed them by cutting them down with some tiny saws that they had gotten from the other people.
  When the area was cleared the girls got some seed sand equipment to plough the fields. When they got them they ploughed the fields. To them it was big enough to support them with food.
  When they were finished the girls were tired and so they lay down on the ground do catch some rays.
  "Maybe this place isn't gonna be so bad," said Marleen.
  "What did I tell you?" replied Giselle. "Its better when you have friends instead of enemies."
