Mostly Safe

Blue hastily cut Jay out of the dying roots. It was a simple task when they didn’t grow back between each chop.

Jay stood up on the giant’s head, glancing at the army of knights below.

“Now what…” he wondered.

The knights were still hacking away at the giant’s corpse, spilling its green blood everywhere.

One knight noticed Jay, then a few of them, then many more. They climbed the giant’s body towards him and his skeleton. It didn’t take long, and most of the knights stopped attacking, realizing the giant was dead, while the source of their vengeance stood atop its corpse.

Jay wasted no time looking around for exits, but nothing had changed.

Knights still blocked the passageway to the stairs, and the portal would not let him through. The only difference was that there wasn’t a storm of knights running overhead.
