Chapter Text
"ROAR!"
There used to be dinosaurs. Monstrous dinosaurs that dominate the world. Savagely hunting down prey and fighting each other. Truly the beasts of Planet Earth.
Eh. Not much to say about them because we never really see how they really act. Unless you count the Jurassic Park movies.
But it is a real fact that the extinction event happened, where the asteroid landed on one part of the Earth. There went the extinction of these savage beings. Thank goodness the behemoths are gone!
Okay, who celebrated and exclaimed that line at that time? Sentient monotremes!? Echidnas can talk?
I don't think so. I must be talking crazy. Sigh.
Many million years had passed and there were homo sapiens. Ahem. Humans. Normal human beings. Smaller and smarter than the dead dinosaurs. Unlike them, humans were superior. Capable of creating tools with opposable thumbs. They seemed to have come from monkeys due to the similarities. But the humans could do something incredible. The ability to form words through their mouths.
Well, duh. Otherwise you may not be able to read this out loud.
Humans had evolved with the natural habitat and eventually created cultures of their tribes. Their own lifestyles contrasting with the wilderness of inferior animals to the point where they took over most of the animal habitats into their own by destroying trees in the forests. Human beings became the dominators of the world.
Unfortunately, evil actions made humanity no different from the late dinosaurs. Humans fought among themselves. Blood. Murder. Violence. Cannibalism- well, barely. The list goes on.
Immorality exists. Not big surprise.
They are smarter than other animals and yet they act like them. Is this reality or a sick joke? Reality can be whatever I- whoops. A stage play or a disastrous event? Are humans idiots or pretending fools? So many questions that humanity did not dare to answer out of ignorance.
"Someone please wake me up from this nightmare," as said by a little girl with long, straight hair and pretty eyes. Not those ghost eyes, like, ugh, so creepy.
Here, in the 1800s (not 2000 years ago, this is a dumb crack AU!), the legend was born. Not much is known about her, but let's just pretend that this is her… backstory, shall we?
She was told by her father, Aurg (because we can't leave unnamed characters without any names), that humanity would always either be moral or immoral and that there was nothing a person could do, even with the backup of thousands of people, to convince the world to throw away such evil acts. She was tired of the horrendous acts caused by mankind. There had to be a way to make the world a better place.
Aurg married a farmer named Elmir, who was kind and generous enough to provide food from her crops and livestock to the orphans and homeless people at villages. His wealth, being from the Fritz family, gave her a better home at a town. He was nice enough to let her have a barn outside the good-conditioned house, as well as dedicating his free time to build a garden for her.
When they had their daughter as the only child of their household, they raised her to be well-behaved. Elmir would scold her whenever she did something bad, usually by accident. She was encouraged to donate money for charity because the royal status would act rubbish. Funny enough, some of them were her husband's relatives. Her mother commented that he was the only good man in his family tree. Humanity.
Elmir would always read to her mythological stories during bedtime. The stories were from the Norse mythology.
She named her daughter Ymir Fritz. The first name originated from a Norse giant born from venom. That was something the child was not proud of. Her mother thought that it was because the name was from a male being. But it wasn't really that. Elmir named Ymir after him as her own name also came from him through an alternate name 'Aurgelmir'. Aurg's name being from that name was nothing more than coincidence.
Another reason she chose the name was because it was kinda 'cute' and 'suitable' for such a sweet little girl like her own daughter.
Umm… that was honestly terrible, not gonna lie. Given the name of the personification of chaos but risen up into being a good lady. The irony. And yet Elmir saw nothing wrong with that, as she quoted "A name is a name. If your parents named you 'Shut Up', I will call you 'Shut Up'."
Ymir's father didn't even question his wife about this whole name thing. Not even her silly quote. Aurg just let it slide. That was really weird for a smart person like him.
He homeschooled Ymir as he didn't put his trust on teachers in public and private schools. He had pride in his knowledge.
Whenever Aurg went outside for work on the weekends, Ymir would lie down on her bed and read the books that contained myths and legends while waiting for her mother to cook meals. This was just a part of a mother's nature. Making meals for her children and occasionally sandwiches for her husband.
Elmir called the books that she read history books, but the magical aspects didn't seem to prove that. For a little girl, Ymir ain't fooled by her mother because of her trust with her father's knowledge. Not only that, she attempted to call the Gods once, but they never came. There was no such thing as magic.
Books were her only source of entertainment besides walking along the pond and in the fields and gardens. Sometimes, she would look outside the windows to watch birds flying in the sky and butterflies landing onto one of the plants in her garden. Most of the time, she kept herself busy reading literature.
Her mother usually chose the books that were suitable for children. She didn't want Ymir to go to the bookshelf without her permission.
Ymir liked the stories in the Norse mythology about Thor Odinson. She admired him as the protector of mankind. A strong god of thunder wielding a hammer, titled the Mjöllnir. A person who fights against the chaos of the giants. A hero indeed.
Due to her mother's restrictions, she didn't know the full story about him, his father or even the giant Ymir. All Elmir ever told her was that the monster Ymir was a representation of chaos that 'vanished' because of Thor's father, who, along with the other two gods, created the beautiful Earth. The young child had a feeling that the story didn't really happen like that.
Now back to her idol. Ymir wanted to be like Thor. But her mother said that only Thor could be Thor and that no person should ever dare steal his name and be called 'Thor'. No no no. Of course she didn't want to be Thor. She just wanted to be a hero like him, not be exactly like him. People would definitely shame a woman stealing Thor's identity and saying "Hey! I'm Thor!" That's just disrespecting his legacy, as least if he and the stories were real. Speaking of stories, Ymir got really curious on the ones that her mother intentionally left out.
And her curiosity got the better of her when her mom went out of the house for grocery shopping.
Ymir sneaked out of her bedroom to the bookshelf in the living room to take a look at the books that her mom had not read to her before. She searched for the books that mentions Thor Odinson and Norse mythology. As she finished taking them out of the shelves, something from one of them caught her attention.
The Greek mythology.
"Hmm," Ymir hummed as she stared at those words. "The stories from Greece? Well, better check them out."
Ymir proceeded to also take some books that mentioned it and quietly went back to her bedroom, making sure that no stranger outside the house would notice a person inside.
By right, robberies would invade an empty house if it had no security. Thankfully, Aurg made threatening-looking fences to keep strangers out of the house. Only his neighbors were comfortable with visiting the household.
She looked outside the window while remaining hidden, which was opened to let in some fresh air, to see how her mom was doing. She just came back from buying some food in case the livestock disappear all of her sudden. She was then seemingly mesmerized by vibrant flowers as she took a scroll at her garden.
Ymir went back to her task and lied down on her bed to read the books that she took from the bookshelf. She read the one that mentioned something about Thor at the back of it.
"What is this?" Ymir noticed the title of the book that she was holding. It was titled 'Ragnarök'.
This is going to be a trip.
Ymir skipped through the pages for important plot points of the storyline since the book is apparently thick, something that her young mind did not like to handle, fearing that she would get bored. And then her eyes widen like balloons.
Thor Odinson… the God she liked… died from poison.
The hero. The guardian. The protector. The avenger. Dead.
"Impossible…" she mumbled in fright. "It… it cannot be."
This felt like a nightmare. It should be a lie. This had to be a mistake. This could not be.
Tears streamed down on her cheeks. She no longer had a chance to meet the God of Thunder himself, even if he were real.
Thor is dead. God is dead.
She put away the first book, trying to recover from horror, and took another book that talked about the giant that she was named after. She suspected that it would be as gruesome as the first one. She slowly opened it to see what really happened.
It turned out that the gods, one of them being Odin, the father of the late Thor, killed the beast Ymir and created Earth using his corpse.
"Earth was made with his flesh…" noted Ymir, feeling disgusted on the idea that such a gorgeous world like the Earth was created from him.
And her name… her name…
She felt like throwing up. It was as if someone created something using her body, even though Ymir didn't want to be connected to the giant. The story made her have such a thought about it.
She put the book on top of the Ragnarök book and decided not to read any more books of the Norse mythology out of worry that it would further stress her out.
"Maybe the Greek mythology won't be that bad," she hoped as she picked up one of the books that mentioned it. "Please be a good one," she prayed.
This time, when she opened it, she read each word written on the book for real.
The story from the thick book, as summarized here:
At the start, there were Gaea, the Goddess of Earth.
"Okay," said Ymir.
Uranus, the God of Sky and Heaven, was Gaea's son.
"Mhmm."
They had-
[Insert detailed description here because this crazy/stupid fanfic is family-friendly. Oh shoot, the kids are gonna find that out- Well, I think I talked too much here!]
Ymir was confused upon seeing the concepts of- whatever they are- for the first time in her life.
She was not ready for this.
"... Sweet Mother of God…" she expressed her shock, despite not being religious, feeling uncomfortable. "What… is this?"
Uranus locked some of his children, the monstrous yet unfortunate beings, within Tartarus, the place for beings of sinful deeds.
"Seriously?" asked Ymir. "A representation of Heaven doing this?"
Gaea wanted revenge and asked the remaining children, the Titans, to depose their father.
"Titans…" thought Ymir, "... why do I feel uneasy with that word? Titans…"
Cronus, one of the Titans and the God of Time, agreed with his mother Gaea and created a plan. He overthrew Uranus and cut his…
"…"
There it was again. The same one he used on Gaea-
Oh, let's not talk about that part again.
Ymir was speechless, wondering what it looked like since she was only reading the text on the non-illustrated novel. That author was lucky to not put pictures into his book, even when it was meant for adults. Ymir remembered her father almost teaching her one of the systems of human biology before her mother interrupted him. She said that Ymir was lucky since she was not prepared for that yet, which led her into thinking that it could be bad because of her mother's reaction.
But it only made her curiouser and curiouser.
Soon after, he became the ruler of the cosmos and - blah blah blah - with his wife Rhea, who was also his...
Ymir sighed upon seeing such a concept again.
Uranus made a prediction that Cronus will be overthrown by one of his children, the Olympians. Out of anxiety, Cronus locked his monstrous brothers back to Tartarus. In an attempt to stop this prophecy his father made, he ate his childr-
"Nope," said Ymir as she immediately closed the book, giving up her intentions to read the full story.
She hurriedly brought the other books with her and ran to the living room, making sure that her footsteps were soft so that her mom would not hear her. She repeated 'nope' countlessly as she carefully put the books to the bookshelf, back to their original positions. She rushed back to the bedroom and laid down on the bed, rubbing her temple to relieve the headache she received from reading utter madness.
What Cronus did in that story reminded Ymir of the part of humanity that her father told her about. Blood. Murder. Violence. Cannibalism. A Titan did all that for the sake of saving himself. Eww.
Ymir sighed. “My disappointment is immeasurable,” she said unhappily, “and my day is ruined.”
Meanwhile, her mother had just finished plucking some flowers and putting them into her already full basket, some of them and the food falling off due to exceeding the limited amount of space. As she walked to the window to see how her lovely daughter was doing, she was taken aback upon seeing her feeling unwell based on her rubbing her forehead.
At first, Elmir thought that Ymir might be having a fever until she noticed her being uncharacteristically moody and talking about how her day was spoiled. Elmir frowned at seeing her young daughter in a terrible state.
“Oh dear,” the farmer expressed her worries, “she must be entering the angst phase. Better get ready for this.”
Since then, Ymir tried her best to avoid and ignore anything about Titans, the Greek mythology and even the Norse mythology. So much for looking up to dead gods like Thor Odinson. Yes, many deaths happened in that story. And she felt even more embarrassed to be named Ymir after knowing what happened to that behemoth.
Whenever her mom brought them up in hopes of cheering her up, Ymir would simply go along with what she was saying. But oh my god, this was way too much for her brain to process. Please no more stories.
Ymir then had the guts to convince her mother to stop reading her bedtime stories as she was too old.
Her mother wondered why Ymir stopped reading mythological books and focused fully on the home-schooled education that her father had offered to her.
"Wouldn't children be bored of that?" Elmir asked herself, being the one who had dropped out of school in her past. "Why is she suddenly getting enthusiastic about it?"
She was disappointed to see that her attempt on making Ymir believe in myths failed. To the mother stories were more interesting than education. But Elmir decided to let that go because, after all, her baby girl was growing up.
Her father on the other hand was proud to see Ymir being able to learn factual things in such a short time. How she took an interest in science fascinated him. Finally a chance for him to teach her more about biology! Well, once she reached an appropriate age as his wife was still watching him with bloodshot eyes. Yes, she knew what he was talking about to Ymir. Overprotective mothers.
He knew his wife loved him for his heart. But the fact that she might be misinformed of certain knowledge… well, he usually give facts to her to back up his claims. But for some things like what he almost taught Ymir before Elmir stopped him, no means no.
The scientist had high hopes for his daughter. He expected her to follow his footsteps as a genius. One day, with the knowledge and good heart, she would change the world forever.
And the big miracle happened. Literally.
Few years later. Ymir was only a teenager. She was working with her dad as a lab assistant, helping out with the experiments he did for research.
A good father and a brilliant scientist. Well, Aurg never really fought physically at all. But he still contributed to the world well enough. He discovered new things that he found evolutionary.
First, genetic engineering.
Now. He was Greek. But that doesn't mean he was a mad geneticist. He just did medical research in throughout his whole adulthood and was careful with his experiments. If they ever went too far, he would immediately discontinue them.
He had invented hypodermic needles, a.k.a injection needles. He had told most people that they were for transferring any substance into the bloodstream of a person as well as extracting his or her own blood into the syringe, which apparently instill fear on most of them to the point of them behaving like crazy monkeys. Aurg couldn’t really blame them for that.
He used injection needles to experiment lab mice in his basement, as mice shared most of their genes with humans. No, he is not that guy from the future. The Fritz family didn’t even have future visions. They were just human beings. You know, non-magical and stuff. Aurg’s main purpose was to improve a human being’s health condition by finding cures for diseases. Again, no he isn’t him. Physician-scientists =/= doctors.
Hang on a minute… that guy is skilled in medicine as well… umm, let’s forget about that.
Second, big bones.
He was the first human in the world fictionally speaking to discover ancient gigantic bones. A few days ago, he, with the help of Ymir, dug them out of the grounds when they were both treasure-hunting. When they scanned the bones, Ymir felt excitement rising in her body as these recently-found bones were entrancing and uncommon. Her father decided to study them and became a paleontologist.
He travelled around the world and made an announcement to the other scientists that he found skeletons of an unknown species. He told them that he planned to research on the bones alone in his lab with his brand new tools that were highly advanced for that time. They agreed, entrusting Aurg to examine the mysterious bones.
When he showed the bones to his wife, his wife thought that they were the bones of ancient giant humans.
…Oh… oh my… well, moving on...
Ymir heard what her mom said. “Giant humans? That could be possible,” she theorized. There were so many unknown facts that she had to uncover.
In the laboratory during afternoon, Ymir watched as her father was testing on the bones. He extracted the DNAs from the bones by cutting a small piece of one of them and crushing it into a powder. Then, yada yada yada more processes until he got what he needed. Then he took a microscope to inspect the cells inside them.
“Huh,” said Aurg. “this deoxyribonucleic acid has cells that look close to that of cells from an average human deoxyribonucleic acid.”
Ymir tilted her head, being astounded by his observation. “Could mother be correct?” she asked her dad. “That there were giant humans in the past?”
“Maybe,” answered Aurg without full assurance, as there had to be more evidence to suggest that giants did exist before.
He proceeded to put the DNA into a beaker of water to see if the former dissolves into it just like normal DNAs. It did. He then transferred the solution into one of his clean injection needles. He walked to the room where lab purebred mice would be at. He took a cage that had one of these rodents and walked back to the lab, putting the cage down onto the table.
“Prepare yourself,” Aurg warned his daughter as he put his safety goggles and mask on, “this may get pretty ugly."
Ymir began to do the same for safety precautions and watched the experiment carefully and attentively. "Yes, daddy," she said.
Aurg shifted his head towards Ymir all of a sudden, with a face that looked pale.
"Uhh…"
Ymir became confused as to why her father reacted that way. "...What?"
"...Nevermind, I'm just acting stupid," said Aurg. "Now back to the experiment."
Ymir was still confused about what just happened. "...Okay then…"
Aurg slowly injected the mouse with his needle, the liquid entering the mouse’s body via the bevel. Once all of the solution went inside the mouse, Aurg carefully removed the tool out of it and waited for a few minutes to see the outcome.
…
…
“Father?”
“Shh, be patient.”
…
Silence filled the room for a few hours- probably not even that long- as both Aurg and Ymir watched the mouse. No reaction occured from the experiment. DISAPPOINTED!
They both sighed in dissatisfaction. But Aurg never gave up. Even after all that waiting, he decided to repeat the process of extracting the unique DNAs from the bones and putting them into the needles, one by one.
“What are you doing, father?” asked Ymir.
“The DNA probably didn’t work on mice,” Aurg told her. “Perhaps it works on other species.”
“Can we try it on people? Since it didn't work on mice."
“That is very risky,” said Aurg and then gave Ymir a lecture. “You cannot make an assumption like that. Mice share about 92% of human genes, but it doesn't mean that the DNA will not work on humans as well. It can be dangerous if this DNA is injected into a human without any understanding of what it can do. I do this to save lives, not to destroy lives. If this solution happened to be a weapon, we have to get rid of it for the sake of humanity. Do you understand, Ymir?”
Ymir looked at the injection needles as she thought about her father's words. Of course she could not give a conclusion based on one experiment alone. One animal wasn't enough. Her father had to find other animals with genes closer to that of humans, the closest ones being apes. She had to give her father more time to fully conclude on whether this DNA was safe to inject humans or not using monkeys as his guinea pigs. She had put faith into her father to do his work.
But… she still had this feeling… and she couldn't help it…
Maybe it won't be so bad if she just inject that solution into her own arm. The mouse seemed okay after all.
Ymir turned back to her father, who was expecting for her to answer. "Yes father," she replied.
"Do not tamper with the solutions," he warned her.
"I won't, father," she assured him.
"Promise me you won't do anything with them until after I experiment on the apes?"
"I promised," said Ymir, with her right hand at the back crossing fingers.
Later, at night, the entire family was sleeping. Heavily snoring. All except for one, who decided to sneak out of her bedroom and head to the basement. Good thing she had one experience of sneaking to the bookshelf- sigh. That memory should have been forgotten.
Her own father, a man of science, was dumb enough to not lock the door, which gave Ymir an advantage to walk to the lab as quick as possible.
Eyyy, now he ain't like hi- uhhh, back to the story.
Ymir looked at the injection needles and picked up one of them. A smirk formed on her face.
She had a feeling that, just like that mouse, she won't be harmed by the DNA. There was no point of injecting it into her arm if it had no effect, but she was curious anyway.
Following her observation of the experiment, she relaxed herself and pushed the needle into her arm, sensing the pain that came from the pointy bevel going through her muscles. She pushed the top above the syringe steadily, transferring all of the solution into her blood. As she cautiously took the needle out of her arm and put it on the table, she waited for a few minutes to see if there was a change in her.
…
There came a weird sense from her arm. Most likely because of a little pressure from the needle. Other than that, nothing seemed to happen to her.
"Just as I expected," said Ymir in a sad tone. "Oh well, I'll tell father that this solutions are mu- useless."
As she walked up the staircase to the door, she carelessly broke her right ankle the moment it landed on the edge of the stairs instead of her foot.
"OH N-" Ymir exclaimed in a mix of shock and pain and tripped and fell down backwards until he reached the ground.
As she landed on the floor, she laid there for a while as the pain continued to linger on her bleeding foot.
"Oh gracious," said Ymir, "I've fallen and I can't get up! And my ears are burning."
As she stared at the ceiling, she reflected on what she had done. She sighed. She could have sworn that her scream would wake her parents up. Oh, she would be in trouble. But thankfully, they were still snoring. Heavy sleepers.
"If only I could have listened to father, I wouldn't have sneaked into the lab, inject myself and break my own foot while walking up the stairs…" she spoke regretfully.
She gave a long sigh, thinking about her foot. "I wish I can walk," she said with hope. She was still non-religious, but the least she could do was to pray.
And her prayer happened.
Lightning struck down from outside, breaking the house to the ground, which was the ceiling of the basement, and Ymir's eyes widen at such a sight. At that moment, it reminded her of something familiar. Something she remembered about the Norse mythology. That lightning... Could it be… the God of Thunder that was long dead? He was alive and real the whole time?
"Tho-" Her word was cut short as she got zapped.
An explosion happened at the bottom of the house, yeeting the parents' bedroom off by force. The room that was missing walls from the explosion hit the fence and slid down. Luckily, they survived that, which is impossible to begin with.
The parents woke up and immediately noticed that their house was destroyed. And that their bedroom was separated from it like a detached slice of cake.
"Aurg, what did you do?" Elmir asked him, giving him a glare.
"...What did I do?" Aurg repeated her question, being absolutely confused.
"Did you add something to my pie in the kitchen?" She asked again.
"...Uhh… Happy Pi Day?" he answered randomly in an attempt of making her laugh in spite of the dreadful situation that they were facing.
Elmir's face went from furious to deadpan. "What's that?"
Aurg moved his head away, not wanting to see her like that. He felt that it would be nice if it was an official celebration (it is though), but this wasn't the right time to fool around with his wife.
"I made it up," he told her. "Forget what I said!"
Elmir sighed and focused on the situation. "Anyway, where is our daughter?" she asked.
Just as things could not get any stranger, a dark figure in the smoke emerged from where the house was. It was big, like really big.
"Oh shoot," cussed Aurg as he witnessed that scene, "that's humongous!"
"Humongous what?" asked Elmir in an annoyed tone before she shifted her attention from her thoughts about Ymir to the scene, becoming surprised at the sight of what appeared to be a giant. "Oh…" she said, "...that's what you're talking about."
As the steam cleared itself, the appearance of the enormous being was revealed right in front of her parents. They saw a beautiful woman with long, wavy hair that reached down to her chest. They could only see up from her thighs to her face, but they assumed that she was so tall that she could almost touch the sky. She was clothless. And guess what? The… ahem … private parts were missing, the only inappropriate part that was visible being the boobies uhh, woman chest.
I regret typing that. Ugh.
"Oh my goodness," said Aurg, "giant humans really are real."
"Oh my god," said Elmir, "the Gods are real!"
"We can't be sure if Gods are real, Elmir," Aurg told her. "Sure, you are right that giants exist and that that giant woman crashed down into our house, but we don't know if she really is some sort of a God. Or even where she comes from."
Aurg turned to face her, her face looking confused as she looked around to observe her surroundings. He had to admit, she was gorgeous.
“Oh wow, she looks like the woman of my dreams,” he said to himself in honesty, looking at the giantess with flirty eyes.
Elmir overheard his words and walked to her spouse, stomping the ground like a rhino. “Are you planning to cheat on me?”
Aurg blushed in red. “N-no no no! I do not plan to cheat on you!” he said embarrassing. “Besides, it's impossible to [you know I don't add that, I might as well make this Explicit-rated, but the fanfic does not focus on that part] with a being that lacks something crucial!”
Just then, Aurg and Elmir heard the neighbors, who obviously woke up from the explosion, responding to the weird woman in different ways.
“OH MY GOD! IT’S A GIANT WOMAN!” one man shouted.
“WOW!” a boy exclaimed in excitement. “I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE A GIANT WOMAN!”
“ARGH HAH HAH!” another man screamed in a strange voice. “AH THAT’S HOT! THAT’S HOT!”
Aurg chuckled upon hearing those last two reactions. The feeling was mutual.
The giantess turned around to see the neighbors staring at her. There were a variety of different emotions. Delight, shock, and fear. She tilted her head, wondering why everything around her shrunk. And why one of the men literally found her sexy.
“HEY AURG!” the first neighbor who reacted to the giant called him. “IS THAT ONE OF YOUR CRAZY EXPERIMENTS!?”
“I DON’T KNOW!” Aurg yelled back. “SHE JUST APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE AND DESTROYED OUR HOUSE!”
“WELL, THERE GOES THE BILL!” the same neighbor commented.
“MY FAMILY WILL GET IT COVERED!” yelled Aurg again. “THE FRITZ FAMILY IS RICH AFTER ALL!”
Suddenly, the giantess spoke, with a rather deep voice due to her size. "Oh mother. Father. I think that Thor destroyed our house. No, that can’t be right. Thor would never do this.” Then, she looked down at her own hands. “...Oh... no wonder he did that,” she said. “I’m a giant.”
The parents' jaw dropped. What the heck?
"YMIR!?" they both yelled.
“WHAT!?” All of the neighbors screamed in shock so loud that the entire world might hear them all.
This sudden information was too much to process on. A giant was one thing, but a giant who was their daughter!? How did a young teenager turned into a gigantic, attractive looking adult woman? What was the science behind this?
“Sweet Mother of God!” Elmir exclaimed in shock and turned towards Aurg. “Did you just have a crush on our daughter!?”
“WHAT THE WHAT!?” cussed Aurg in utter disbelief, his fantasies slowly disintegrating into dust. “If that's her, I’ll be sleepless for the rest of my life!”
“DID I JUST CALL A 15-YEAR-OLD HOT!?” the man screamed, looking petrified as heck. “I’M NOT A PEDO, I SWEAR! DON’T ARREST ME, COPS!”
As he said that, sirens could be heard. Nino nino nino.
"Okay sir, why don't you take a seat over there?" a megaphone could be heard, presumably from the police.
“OKAY, I’M OUTTA HERE!” he screamed as he ran away.
Elmir sighed and concentrated on the giant woman. “Ymir, are you okay?” asked Elmir with concern.
The big lady, who happened to be 'Ymir', seemed startled by her own size and the fact that her own parents looked like dolls that kids could play with. This was way beyond discomfort. She could accidentally hit them with her huge bare hands. Oh no. She feared that she became the beast from the Norse mythology. Her name made a lot of sense after all these years. All because of an accident.
"Mommy, I'm scared," said Ymir as she felt like breaking into tears. “I’m a monster now!”
“What? No you’re not, honey,” Elmir reassured her. “You're still my little girl. Nothing will change that.”
“Uhh, factually that term will not work,” Aurg told Elmir.
“You ruined the moment!” Elmir shrieked at her husband. “Can't you see Ymir is scared?”
“But how can we know if that's Ymir?” Aurg asked Elmir, refusing to believe that the giantess was her since their faces were not similar. The only thing Ymir and the giant had in common was the hair color and the eyes. Oh, and them liking Thor, but didn’t Ymir chose to forget about the mythological stories? And her referring to Aurg and Elmir as her parents? Probably confusion from landing onto the house. But anyways, there were lookalikes in the world, so they were definitely not the same.
“Father, I know you experimented on a mouse with the DNA from the bones we found a few days ago,” said Ymir, convincing her father that she really was his daughter.
As Aurg heard what she said, his face started to turn fully red on the fact that he was attracted to her beauty. Here lies Aurg’s hopes and dreams. Well, he would get insomnia for his entire life.
Yup, that was Ymir alright. The hair color, the attitude and, of course, that experiment that he was showcasing to her on that afternoon. But as he remember that one part, something clicked into his mind. The experiment. She definitely did something that caused her to become gigantic. As he faced Ymir with suspicion, she gulped upon seeing the horrible expression of his and began to prepare herself for the worst. Scolding.
But this didn't go the way that Ymir expected this to be. Instead, Aurg kept his composure and approached her. “You injected the solution in yourself, didn't you?”
Ymir could feel bullets tripping down her big head. For some reason, she somehow also felt it on her… normal head, if you know what I mean. "Yes," she confessed. There was no other choice but to tell the truth.
Aurg just stood there wondering what to do with her. Oh what to do now that Ymir is a giant? Are they going to climb up and wash her body everyday? That, Aurg had to deal with a lot of work, as well as seeing the absence of these things. This was clearly against biology and nature. How do giants exist without these things? Cloning? Hmm.
There would be no future for her future children if she couldn't do what a mother naturally need to do, even with her partner. Because these things were missing. How depressing. If she were to be stuck like that without a cure, she would be doomed.
Ymir kneeled down, putting her head and hands down to the ground in shame, which formed a bow that signified regret. Wait, isn’t that one of the Japanes-
"I'm sorry, father," she apologized. "I am an idiot."
Aurg took a deep breath. The only good thing was that he had found out what that DNA could do to a human being… through his daughter’s actions. Well… that concluded his experiment.
"Okay…" he calmed down for a while, "...I'm going to tell the scientists that the DNA turns human beings into mature-looking giants tomorrow morning. For now, we have to deal with our child being… that."
"Should we bring clothes for her?" asked Elmir.
"No, there are no dresses that are about her size," Aurg told Elmir. "If we create one, all animals will be dead. Dead, dead."
"Ohhh boy," said Ymir, realizing that she was naked.
Elmir noticed her daughter being totally upset. "H-hey Ymir. Don't be so blue. Look on the bright side. The Greek Gods are also nude!"
Ymir pushed her face into the ground. She could not believe what her mom just told this to her own daughter. "Thanks a lot for scarring my mind, mother," she said sarcastically.
A few minutes later, police arrived outside the fence of the family’s property and knocked on the gate, taking notice of the visible giantess.
“This is the police!” the cops yelled. “That thing may be a threat to the residents around here! And I don't know what you were all yelling about!"
“That’s my daughter!” Aurg told them, refusing to open the gate. “I’m a royal scientist We have a basement. I can settle this issue myself. And the loud noises you were hearing? Just a conversation with my neighbors."
The cops became silent for a while. They looked up to the big woman, who was looking down at them with puppy eyes. Oh my goodness, she was pleasing to look at with that face of hers. Oh wait, she was only 15. And she wasn't wearing anything.
"Sir, she violated one of the laws," one of the cops told Aurg. "She isn't wearing clothes!"
Aurg facepalmed. "We'll run out of animals just to make a dress for her," he said. "Besides, she lacks reproductive organs."
He could hear one of the cops spitting out presumably water or coffee out of shock.
"...Well, this is awkward," commented the said cop.
"I agree, mister…" said Ymir, still feeling guilty about her situation.
"Well, can we at least fine you 200 dollars for her public nudity?" he asked Aurg.
Aurg brought out $300 and passed it to the cop through the gaps of the fence. "Keep the change," he told him.
The cop stared at the extra money. "Well I didn't ask for the tip, but okay," he accepted the cash.
It was pointless for the cops to capture her anyway for many reasons. One, no cages big enough to keep her in and two, she was just an innocent teenager that turned into a giant by accident. And so they proceeded to continue on finding that disgusting pedophile who hit on her.
Funny how they didn't suspect Aurg of initially being attracted to Ymir until he found out her identity.
“Okay, we’ll leave you alone,” the cops told Aurg and walked away. "I trust you to find a way to turn her back to normal. And next time, please shorten the fences and remove those faces on them! They looked disturbing!"
"I will!" Aurg told them with a lie. Nope, he was not going to change fences, especially after this big incident.
Well, that was a piece of cake. The police seemed to listen to him. He pulled out a button out of nowhere and pressed it, making it say "That was easy". Not a good idea when he saw the police leaving, but it was still worth a shot.
Ymir turned to look at her tiny dad. "Father… may I tell you something?" she asked.
"Lay it to me," permitted Aurg.
"Before… before I became huge… there was a lightning," Ymir told Aurg.
"Is that why you said that Thor destroyed our house?" asked Elmir.
"Yes," replied Ymir.
Aurg looked up to the sky. The weather seemed to be okay. No clouds covering the starry sky. No indication of storm and rain.
"How?" asked Aurg. "There's no stormy clouds in the sky. How did the lightning appear out of nowhere?"
"Thor exists," said Elmir but then she paused for a moment. "...No, that can't be right. Thor's dead. Maybe Zeus? Jupiter?"
"...Jupiter was a God?" asked Ymir.
"No, Ymir," responded Elmir, knowing what she meant.
"You can't just simply bring myths into this," said Aurg, "although this is rather out of the ordinary."
"Yeah, I think so," said Ymir as she stopped wondering about Thor. "This may sound weird to you, but the lightning struck me and that's how I turn into a giant."
"A lightning turns you into a giant?" questioned Aurg. "That cannot be right. People can die from getting struck by that."
"But that cannot be a normal lightning, father," Ymir told him. "The weather isn't stormy and that strange lightning just coincidentally hit towards me right after I wished that I could walk again."
Aurg quicky shifted his head towards Ymir. "Did you break your leg?"
"I broke my ankle," responded Ymir. "And it was bleeding."
"Oh be careful next time, darling," reminded Elmir.
"Let me take a look at your foot," Aurg told Ymir.
"Fetish, Aurg?" Elmir asked him.
"WHAT!? NO!" yelled Aurg. "And even if I do, I won't project that on my own daughter."
Ymir sighed upon seeing her mother fooling around like that and proceeded to bring up her right foot, which she remembered was the one broken, from the basement to the ground. Unbeknownst to her, her right foot appeared to be unbroken. As she, Aurg and Elmir saw it, they were all stunned.
"What!?" yelled Ymir. "Wasn't it broken and bleeding?"
Aurg stared at it. "It might have regenerated," he guessed. "Strong healing factor is a plausible explanation. I think I'll experiment on this strange biology of yours, Ymir."
"Okay,” said Ymir, “but let's schedule it on tomorrow afternoon.” Her eyes started to daze off, blinking. “I’m feeling really… tired,” she yawned.
And then, she fell down, creating an impact on the ground. Thankfully, her parents were unharmed. All of a sudden, steam started to come out from the body, which apparently started to disappear.
“Oh my god!” screamed Elmir in terror. “My little girl- uhh, big girl is dying!”
But as she said that, they noticed something- or someone- coming out from the back of the giant body. Specifically, the nape.
“...Wait a minute,” said Aurg slowly as he observed what was happening.
As the steam cleared way and the body was close to non-existence from evaporation, there appeared to be a girl standing on top of it, connected by the muscle veins from it to her cheeks. That girl, with long wavy hair and nightgown on, was the real Ymir. A teenager.
Aurg and Elmir could not believe their eyes. It turned out that she was normal all along. She didn’t really transform into a giant, but she actually summoned it and control it as her own. Through the nape.
They rubbed their eyes and went to their daughter. The surroundings of the evaporating body felt hot, despite the cooling weather.
“Ymir?” they called her.
She didn't respond but they could hear her immediately snoring afterwards. She was really exhausted.
Thank goodness she was alive.
…Hah! You think she'll only live for 13 years! Screw that, I'll extend it to normal human lifespan and no one can stop me! Mwhahaga- okay I'll stop for now.
To be continued.
