a friendly giant

The old woman slowly lowered the bucket from her perch on the stone ruins. The mixture inside bubbled and steamed. It was a special mixture used to alter the mind. The great beast lumbered up and slurped noisily. It immediately stood up on two legs, cleared its throat, and began to speak. " Well now. That was quite the trip, wasn't it? What do you require now good lady?" It had a very thick British accent. The lady stood up and clearly said," i need your healing fire. For my daughter." Behind her rested a beautiful maiden. She was very pale, and she got paler by the minute.  " Very well. Very well. You shall have it. You have already paid me." The Maiden was then lowered to the ground. The beast then leaned over her and, very gently, exhaled blue fire over her limp body. The flames licked over her. she immediately got up and shouted praise to the beast. the mother thanked him again and again. they wondered away into the night.
