He was enormous; they all were, standing over seven feet tall. He was bulging with muscles, without a trace of fat on his body. His face, though covered with a thick, dark beard, was heavy, not ugly, just… incredibly structured. His brow was the most expressive part of him. And as his dark eyes looked in my direction, his face relaxed, its tightness vanishing. He shook his long, dark hair out of his eyes and, moving forward, loped towards me. I instantly shrank back, squeezing my eyes shut, fearing the obvious strength of a creature that had just crushed its enemy to death.
