Once names had been dealt with both hunters took mount (just Wander really)and made their way to where the light from Wander’s sword was pointing. As they got closer to where the colossus was supposed to be both hunters began to hear a rumbling sound. Making their way down towards some water both hunters looked around for the beast they were hunting. “Where do you think it is Wandi?”

“I don’t know Dash, the light points toward that wall. Does that mean we went the wrong way?” Before Rainbow could reply a loud rumble was heard and the wall Wander gestured to blew open showing a four-legged giant making its way out of the cave it had been in.

“Well, now we know where it is!” Called out the rainbow mare as she took flight to get a better view of the massive creature. The colossus turned its head toward Wander and began to walk towards the small hunter riding their horse.

Looking at it from above, Rainbow could almost mistake this creature for a small patch of field if it weren’t for the giant bone-like structures sticking out of its back. Looking at the side of it she could see what almost looked like fungus was growing off the side of the giant, but she had a feeling it was out of Wander’s reach. Flying to the front of the monster Rainbow noticed it had a broken horn (Which has no importance, I just wanted to point it out because I like it).

What Rainbow hadn’t seen Wander was able to, on the bottom of its feet were glowing marks. Out of curiosity Wander pulled out their bow and tried to shoot the glowing spot on the front left hoof (The right for the creature).

When the arrow finally hit its target the monster lowered itself down as if recovering from a wound. “Over here! You can climb up!” Shouted Rainbow, trying to get the attention of Wander and pointing to the fungal-like growths. Looking at where the mare was indicating, Wander urged their trusty mount, Agro, to run to the side of the colossus.

Jumping from Agro to the colossus, Wander grabbed on while it stood back up. Climbing onto the hard surface Wander could see that they needed to climb along the beast to reach the top. While climbing Wander could feel the strength of their grip on the fur slowly draining. Thinking quickly they made the way to where the center of its back. While standing on the less shaky part of the creature, Wander could feel their strength returning slowly.

Rainbow watched from above suddenly feeling useless without her element showing her where the weak spots were. Determined to not be useless she flew as close as she could to the colossus to see if she could just find them. She didn’t see anything different on the sides. Flying close to the head she saw a very faint symbol from before, it seemed almost like the symbol wanted them to attack somewhere else first (that feeling is definitely coming from the symbol, and NOT from the writer). Swooping to land near Wander Rainbow Dash saw a slight glow.

When Rainbow had landed Wander had almost dropped their sword. “Careful!” Called out the shaking hunter. Rainbow pointed toward the back end of the colossus and told Wander that she thought a weak spot might be there. After debating with each other why there would be a weak spot there Wander walked to the area in question and found there to be a symbol.

After Wander had dealt with the weak point Rainbow had talked about they started to make their way to the head, where the final point lay. The colossus seemed to know Wander’s planned route and waited for a moment where Wander would not be expecting to be thrown around and fall off. As Wander was falling they suddenly remembered that a blue winged horse was helping them when their decent was slowed down to an easy landing.

Wander gave Rainbow Dash their sword to finish off the giant goat-like creature that was now walking to step on them. She flew up and began a steep flight toward her target, the symbol on the head, when she got closer she pointed the sword in front of herself and plunged the cold metal into the head of the colossus. Getting up from her quick landing, Rainbow made her way to Wander to try to get away from the incoming tendrils she could see coming out of the final blow. The tendrils came out and struck both frightened hunters knocking them unconscious.

Author's Note

So, this is the second colossus. I tried to do less POV jumping with this one, it just feels like a short chapter.
