I was still amazed at how quickly I could travel, as with legs like one hundred feet long each of my steps took me orders of magnitude farther than a normal human. Even the giants of myth that I was remembering would only be half my size or less. I found it interesting how I was starting to remember much more of what I can only assume was my previous life. Reincarnation wasn't a thing I remember having any proof of but now I clearly do. I will have to think about this more once the little boy is found.

"Tromly. Hello?" I called. "Where are you?"

As my voice echoed over the mountain and through the trees I realized he might not be in a condition to reply, and even if he was its unlikely he would be excited to reveal himself to a titanic girl. I had heard Miya inside my head before, so perhaps I could do something similar with Tromly. I closed my eyes and focused on what I knew about him. He was a boy about eight years old that probably looked a lot like his older sister. After a few moments with my eyes closed nothing came to my mind though.

"Damn" I muttered under my breath.

It was then something amazing happened. Suddenly in my mind I could see something moving on the ground nearby, like I was seeing what was happening around me in my head with some kind of super power. I open my eyes and look to my left where I see something burst from the bushes. The loud squeal of a panicked boar filled the air as the large pig freed itself from a bramble and dashed off into the trees. I sighed in disappointment. Though I did see something special in my mind.

"Little thing must have been trapped when I walked up."

I began walking west around the mountain again. Looking back I couldn't see the lake anymore but I made sure to remember which direction I came from. It must be miles away by now. I bet I could run a marathon in only a few minutes. Looking down at my bare feet I sigh. It sure would be nice to have some shoes, but it looked like despite the damage my steps were doing to the environment my feet were undamaged by the logs and sticks I was stepping on. It makes sense with my big size comes more durability.

"Let me live" a voice said in my head.

With a jolt I stood up straight. This was the voice of a small boy. It was Tromly. It seemed he wasn't praying to me specifically but like his sister to no god in particular. Yes I did have the ability to hear the prayers of others and if I was going to find him I needed to use that to track him down. I closed my eyes again and pictures the surrounding forest in my mind, listening for his voice as if it was some kind of radar ping. This was like some superhero stuff but if it works is all that matters right now.

Slowly I focus in on the prayer. It appeared Tromly was thinking and praying for mercy from whoever would listen. Some kind of monster was shaking the mountain and he terrified of being found. That's me obviously. He already survived three days and begs to be found by his family. Maybe because I was imagining it so, or maybe because of some other reason, the prayers of the boy could be seen inside my mind as a wisp coming from the right of me. They floated above the trees like some kind of cloud, leading the way over a nearby hill. Yes! Goddess superpowers activate!

"I'm coming little guy. Don't worry." I say aloud to myself.

I quickly turn to the right and walk over the hill, paying very close attention to where I'm placing my feet. If Tromly was hiding in a bush and I stepped on it... I didn't even want to think about it. So very carefully I would take every step, ensuring that each time I put my foot down it was in the open away from any foliage. It did make it a bit difficult to walk, but it was worth it to avoid any mishaps. I closed my eyes now and then to follow the prayers like some kind of echolocation. In my mind I saw the wispy smoke lead around trees and rocks.

I step into a decent sized clearing in the forest. The pine trees are tall and straight, the ferns and bushes of the underbrush thick around a circle of open land. The grass in the open was filled with pretty yellow flowers and bees could be seen flying between them. The sound of birds was missing from the scene, likely because they flew away long before my approach. Tromly was around here somewhere, hiding in fear of me. It made me feel a bit sad to be seen as an inhuman monster, but to these people I literally was.

"Tromly" I said softly. "Don't be afraid." I tried to keep my voice as soothing as possible. I don't recall being particularly good with people before but I was going to try my best. "I'm a goddess that's here to help you. Your sister Miya sent me to come save you."

There was a rustling in the bushes on the clearing's perimeter. It happened so quickly I couldn't pinpoint its location. Focusing my senses I felt that there was a heartbeat nearby.

"That's right Tromly" I continued. "I'm not going to hurt you. You've made it through three days and nights out here in the forest. I know how terrifying that was. You did such a good job." I continue looking around for movement. "Please come to me."

I hear more rustling in the bushes and turn towards it. I then crouch down and scan the bushes. After just a few moments a small dirty figure emerges from a rather large bush on the edge of the clearing, only arms reach away for me. Its a small boy with short brown hair and skin that was pinkish. Though his clothing was torn and ruined and his face was covered in dirt, this was clearly the missing brother. He looked up at me with great fear and apprehension, as if at any moment I would smite him. Slowly though he took steps towards me, his hands held close to his sides and his eyes like a deer about to turn and run.

"There you go" I softly said in encouragement. "Come on over."

I lower my hand to the ground and hold out a finger, an invitation for him to come and touch it. He takes a few more steps forward before stopping in the tall grass of the clearing.

"W-Who are you?" he asked nervously.

"The goddess of this land. I told you remember?" I replied, still crouching down and holding out my finger. "Come touch me. I'm real and safe."

Tromly slowly walked towards my outstretched index finger and looked at it with awe. Just my finger was several times longer than he was tall so I could understand his apprehension. But as I stayed still and quiet his courage built until he was able to lift up his own hand and touch it. His tiny hand was barely felt on my skin, a tickle like a small bug touching the end of my fingertip. The bravery this action took couldn't be understated.

I smiled down at him, the sun gleaming around my head. "Come with me Tromly. Your sister is waiting for you."

Slowly I withdrew my index finger and turned my hand so that my palm was facing up. He flinched at the movement but I kept it slow and deliberate. Then I lowered the back of my hand to touch the ground, the tickle of the long grass like an itch on my skin. I left my palm opened and my fingers uncurled.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

"Climb on."

Without a word Tromly nodded and walked over to my giant hand. He reached up and grabbed hold of the side of my hand, pulling himself up while using the soft skin as a sort of foothold. It didn't look easy but thankfully it wasn't too difficult for him either. Once he had pulled himself up onto my hand he tumbled down into my palm. It was so strange looking at a living person laying in the palm of my hand. He was like a little beetle, all flopped out in my hand vulnerable and weak.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked quietly. "If you are I'm going to stand up again."

Tromly nodded and gulped, staying quiet for now as his words had left him. I understood.

Gently I cupped my hand so that he was laying in a little valley of palm, no way for him to accidentally roll out and fall. "Now I want you to look at me ok? Focus on me. Don't look anywhere else."

He nodded and I sighed internally. With him focused on my face it would mean he wouldn't see how high up he was and panic. Once he seemed focused on my face above him I slowly began to stand up. First I lifted my hand into the air to my chest. I had remembered something about vertigo and that going up or down too far too fast could cause dizziness and worse. If I kept all my movements slow enough there should be no problem though. Then came the standing up. I did let out a bit of a grunt as I pushed myself upright with only one hand. He flinched a bit but didn't seem to be too distressed. The last thing I needed was for him to have a breakdown, I don't know if I could handle that.

"Alright. Lets go find your sister." I said giving him my warmest smile.

With that I started walking back to the lake. It was clear that Tromly was in shock still, this entire experience probably traumatizing him for life. That's me, your local child traumatizer. At least he would be safe with his family after this though. I just needed him to be brave a while longer. Whenever I got the chance I looked down at him in my palm to see how he was doing. I was still trying to step around the forest without causing too much damage so I couldn't watch him constantly. He was thankfully doing as I asked and keeping his gaze on me above my shoulders. I was keeping my hand around chest height so my face was maybe fifty feet above him. The fear was still there, but he was certainly still calm.

It did take only a few minutes to walk back to the mountain lake. My booming footsteps felt and heard by Miya long before she saw me. I only could imagine what I looked like coming over the crest of the hill, my form standing taller than the trees as I made my way over to the ruined temple. More birds flew into the air chirping as I took the final few steps to where Miya was waiting for me. She was standing in the middle of the temple as before, no doubt a maelstrom of thoughts racing through her head as she saw me approach.

Once I was in front of the temple I kneeled down on one knee, shaking the temple with an mini earthquake. Miya had gotten used to this by now and was able to stabilize herself so she didn't fall over. In my palm Tromly was still looking up at my face, laying on his back to avoid the effects of my hands tremors.

"Goddess?" Miya asked in anticipation.

I just smiled and began lowering my hand. "I believe you two know each other."

Slowly and carefully I lowered my hand down to be on the level of the temple platform. The back of my hand once again resting on the ground as my fingers curled up slightly. Miya looked out into my hand and gasped as she saw her brother laying there on his back.

"Tromly!" she exclaimed in joy.

Miya ran out onto my palm without even thinking, rushing to her brother and kneeling down beside him. She pulled him up into a sitting position and embraced him in a hug that looked like it might squeeze the air right out of him.

"Sister?" Tromly asked confused. With everything he had been through he was probably in disbelief.

"Yes its me little brother" Miya said choking back tears. "I was so worried. We were all so worried. I'm so thankful you're still alive!"

Miya began to cry, her tears that of joy and her sobs of relief. As she clung to her younger brother he too began to cry. The deep sobbing from all the stored up emotion that had been held down until now. The days spent wandering the forest, and the dark nights alone on the mountain filled with terror. This is all besides the fact that a two hundred foot tall girl stomped up to him and scooped him up into the sky to carry him away who knows where. But here he was, cradled in the palm of the giantess in the arms of his sister.

I just watched the scene unfolding in my hand with silence. The two needed to get it all out, deserved to let it all out. This was a reunion that I had no place interjecting myself into. I was feeling very tired now for some reason and was fighting to keep back a yawn. Eventually I couldn't hold it back anymore and yawned deeply, holding my other hand up to cover my mouth. This prompted the two siblings in my palm to settle their sniffles and try their eyes, as they had suddenly been reminded of my existence.

"Thank you goddess" Miya said looking up at my face. "Thank you for bringing my little brother back to me."

I yawn a little more and keep my hand over my mouth as I reply. "Mhmm. Its no problem."

Miya seemed unconvinced by my response. "Please goddess tell me the sacrifice you want, no offering is too much for what you've done." she paused. "What is you name goddess?"

I lower my hand and blush again. Crap. How was I going to get out of this one?

"Well um" I replied. "I don't actually remember."

I need to work on not being so brutally honest.

"You don't remember?" Miya asked in confusion.

Tromly had finished wiping his eyes and piped up. "Y-Yeah. She didn't say when I asked either."

I tried to do a innocent smile but it only came off as a stupid grin. What a goddess I turned out to be for these two. Some kind of bumbling idiot goddess can't even remember her own name. I'd be surprised if they didn't disown me as a deity.

Miya looked at her brother and seemed to be thinking for what seemed like a while. She then cleared her throat a bit and looked up at my face again, though she seemed to be avoiding eye contact.

"Well... I could give you a name if you wanted. I mean... If you thought I was worthy."

This actually didn't seem like such a bad idea. I mean humans always named their gods and goddesses as far as I could remember. Who knows, even if I remembered my real name the one she came up with might be better.

"Sure" I said.

Miya seemed taken aback, like she wasn't actually expecting me to give that answer. She became lost in thought for a few moments longer and then finally looked up at my face again. "What about Jenna?"

Jenna. It was as good a name as any. It seemed to fit for a little girl too. I liked it.

"I like it" I said matter of factly. "Jenna. From now on I'll be the Goddess Jenna!" I then let out another big yawn and cover my mouth. My face flushed. "S-Sorry..."

Miya lets out a laugh, the clear crystal sound of a young woman who had despair lifted from her and replaced with joy. Tromly too began giggling at the sight of a goddess yawning. This only made me more embarrassed of course which only increased their amusement. At least they didn't seem to think less of me.

"I think I should take a nap." I told them. "You two should run home before it gets dark anyway. You will be able to make it there safely right?"

"Yes Goddess Jenna" Miya replied. She stood up and helped her little brother to his feet as well. "I'm sorry for keeping you from your rest." She quickly led Tromly as they both walked across my hand and stepped back onto the stone of the temple.

"Its no problem" I said yawning again. "Just be safe out there."

I lowered myself to my knees and began laying down. My legs stretched out into the trees behind me further than the two humans could see, my feet almost near the lake. The rumbling impact of my laying down almost shook them both to the ground, how they were able to remain standing I have no idea. Then I lowered my chest down and brought my arms up to my head. I rested my head in the nook of my arm and turned my face to the side. Its not like I had to fear any animals hurting me after all.

"You should come to our village" Miya suggested. "They would all welcome you goddess."

"Mhmm..." I said half asleep already.

Miya continued speaking but I lost the ability to understand what she was saying. I had already begun to lose consciousnesses. With my eyes closed the light of the sun was only an orange glow behind my eyelids. The darkness soon came to take me away and I fell into the abyss to sleep.
