Jötun's Strong, Sweaty Strikes Small Bargain - Definitive Edition chapter 7 by SuperKirby

"...get back to working out!"

Dagr's declaration caught Blake off-guard - not only was the mage far too tiny to do the same exercises a normal-sized person could handle easily, but the amazonian jötun might end up inadvertently crushing his inch-tall body like an insect!

With a timid gulp, Blake made an attempt to voice his concerns. "Um, Dagr, are you sure it's a good idea for me to work out at my current size?"

Dagr let out a cute chuckle. "You have nothing to worry about, little guy! I'll be here to protect you from anything that would pose a threat. But if you're REALLY nervous, I'll let you watch me practice my axe swings!"

Carrying Blake in her palm through this wooded area of the kingdom, Dagr eventually arrived at a clearing where several humanoid, straw-composed structures were situated. Scarecrows? ...no, they couldn't be scarecrows.

"Are those...training dummies?" Blake inquired.

Dagr gave the shrunken young man a nod. "Indeed. You'll finally get to see me in action, without the risk of injury!"

The giantess set her new companion on the ground nearby, confident that he'd be safe there, before he saw her ready her weapon - the great axe, Skinfaxi, gleaming a brilliant silver in the sunlight. And in no time at all, she unleashed her first swing! Despite the sheer weight of weapons such as these, Dagr was able to wield Skinfaxi like nothing, cleaving one dummy in half with only one swing. Blake watched the jötun woman's training, awestruck at being able to see her true power this close up...

Until he felt a drop of moisture drench his whole form.

Shaking off most of the water and looking up, the puny mage saw not a single cloud in the sky - only Dagr's towering, exercising frame. She was really working up a sweat! Too much sweat for Blake to handle, in fact. He needed to evade the oncoming storm of perspiration or else he might drown!
