The giant is
not the trusting sort, and the arrival of the sea-beast onto the beach a few days ago has left him with a deep sense of unease that he simply cannot shake. It sticks in his craw, lingers in his chest, thrashes in his stomach.
The Rift God fights had been glorious, and Volterra would jump at the chance to battle some seemingly immortal hell-beast any day of the week. Yet he remembers the diseases that the false Gods had brought with them, remembers the havoc they had wreaked across all four corners of Helovia, and it fills his gut with tension to know that it could all be happening again. It could happen worse. So whilst other citizens of the land had blindly offered their help to the seemingly benevolent stranger at the previous gathering, Volterra had hung back.
He wishes to do some of his own research before pledging his allegiance to a creature he neither knows or trusts. When the beast reappears a few days after its previous rising, Volterra is only too quick to further his own studies by attending the event.
There's already quite a crowd gathered, and the leviathan makes no effort to bulldoze to the front like he often does. Instead he lurks around the back, his eyes narrowed with interest as Kisamoa says more of the right things. He certainly knows how to weasel his way into Helovian affections, and that only heightens the goliath's sense of unease.
He is disgusted to see that most of the others gathered are already offering their help to the creature, and his brow furrows into a deep frown. They don't even know what it wants yet! Is he the only animal here with sense in his head, and a lingering dose of cynicism in his soul? Warily the stallion looks at the sea-creature, but says nothing for now; he is content to hang back and watch, and see if he can gather any more information on what Kisamoa is up to.
Because if there's one thing Volterra has learned during his three years of life, it's that everything has its price. Kisamoa offers fun and a challenge - but at what cost?
