Ak’ka pat Javal on the back as he thanked her for her help. “Nah. You don’t gotta say nothin’ like that. We all get lost in our heads sometimes. Only difference is usin the fear you do have to get shit done and punch a bitch in the face.” She laughed.
The boisterous triumph immediately turned to somethin’ real bashful as Javal started asking about how she knew so much about kitty behavior. Ak’ka grimaced and rubbed at the back of her neck. Well, Slugger’d already seen squeak in the past so she figured it was fine to mention. “I, uh, usually feed the kitties fish back home in Frostgale. You learn their sweet spots for pettin’ real easy. It’s different for every furball - they’re real fickle creatures - but I was lucky it worked.”
Eventually, the alchemist came back with the antidote for their condition. In a teeny little cup, but still huge compared to them. Ak’ka grunted. This was way too much thinkin’ for her. Well. Thinkin’ things through wasn’t her deal, so why not just resort to what she knew? Ak’ka cracked her knuckles and stepped up next to the porcelain cup. “Here. You get ready, and when I blow a hole through this cup, it’ll spout through it. Just grab a sip and I’ll follow you.”
“Or you could-“
But Ak’ka had already reared back and smashed through the mug, dousing the both of them in antidote.
“… Not break my things.” The alchemist sighed.
“Sorry.” Ak’ka didn’t sound all that sorry as she shot up to her original height. Oh, how she’d missed being the biggest baddest bitch of the bunch. “I’ll buy ya a new one.”

Javal nodded his head as Ak’ka responded to his apologies, “Even your friend Ak’ka the Bonegrinder got into your head? We must use the fear inside of us to motivate ourselves to accomplish our goals such as ‘punching a bitch in the face’”, the fellblood places his fingers in air quotes as he curses before chuckling at Ak’ka’s comment.
Javal smiled slightly as the orc woman replied to his cat inquiry, “Oh really that sounds awesome my friend I’d love to join you in feeding them someday. Indeed you were, I think if you did not think of that my face would have surely been planted on the street floor in pain”.
Javal walked alongside Ak’ka as she approached the small porcelain cup and nodded ready to go along with Ak’ka’s plan. He held his hands out and tongue ready to taste the antidote not even hearing the alchemist’s words suddenly his entire clothes and body were drenched in antidote.
He then quickly grew limb by limb until he was standing on top of the alchemist’s table, “Huzzah I have returned to my normal height”, he then jumped down to the street floor and turned to face his savior.
“Thank you good fellow if it was not for you then the both of us would still be the size of ants and trampled under the weight of the world”, he takes some solars out of his pocket and hands them to the fellow with great appreciation.

“Well. I don’t feel fear, but yeah.” Ak’ka laughed. “But when I get in my head over a big task, I let that anxiety and spite motivate me.” If it was possible for a gal as tough as her, Ak’ka’s smile almost seemed more gentle at the mention of petting kitties. “Yeah. Next time yer in the Pale City, I’ll bring ya to where the strays like to live. They’re nice little guys, but I never thought that knowin’ how to take care of them would come in handy for savin’ someone’s life!”
The chatter came to an end while they grew to their regular heights. Man, it felt good to be herself again. Ten feet tall and every bit as scary. The alchemist mighta flinched when she grew to her real size, a hulking scarred warrior with tusks and muscles that made most warriors quiver in fear - but he said nothin’ while she bent down to scratch Mitsy behind the ears.
“Yer a good gal, Mitsy. Make sure yer owner gives ya a little extra tuna as a treat with dinner.” She straightened, turning to Javal. “Oi. You wanna go teach a fairy a lesson?”
Oh, revenge would definitely be sweet.
Only, when Ak’ka and Javal made their way to the stall where the fairy had been, it was completely empty. Nothing but a wooden table - no signs, no potions, no sparkly fairy dust… no nothin’. Almost like they had never existed at all.
“What the…” Ak’ka turned to Javal, slack-jawed. “I didn’t imagine all this, did I? She was really here?” No, she had to have been real. How else would they have gotten so tiny? The only explanation was that she disappeared after pullin’ her nasty prank. As Ak’ka and Javal stood there, puzzling out the mystery of the woman who’d shrunk them, the half-Orc swore she could hear bell-chime laughter in the wind.

The alchemist fellow smiled as he took Javal’s payment, “Thank you kiddo, I’m glad that there are still some thoughtful people in this world”, he then glanced at Ak’ka and then at his broken teacup before chuckling.
Javal bowed to the man once more before petting Mitski for a few minutes and then following behind Ak’ka, “You truly are a wonder friend Ak’ka whenever I get my head over I usually try to move on as quickly as I can to forget about it and fix it”.
He grew excited in every step as Ak’ka mentioned bringing him to the strays in the Pale City, “Of course friend Ak’ka and yes these types of skills always come in handy in the most unseen way".
He then turned his head in confusion as the alley where they had found themselves formerly filled with large decorations and displays was completely gone, not even a single trace of something being there before was seen.
“You didn’t imagine a thing friend Ak’ka not unless I also imagined that which in that case begs the question, what is real?”, he quickly shakes that thought as he finishes catching up with Ak’ka.
Unknown to the two adventurers in the distance there was someone watching them the little fairy woman was sitting on the top of a chimney spying on the adventurers, “Hm, looks like those chumps survived thanks to good for nothing worm Kalaks I knew he would be a problem to my profits but whatever I think I’ll have to make the first move against these two chumps since they look like they wanna hunt me down. Well, I won’t make it easy for them now will I?”, the fairy lady got up, laughed loudly, and flew away planning her next move.
