Giants need love too.

6 months after Flamma's birth to Gnista
Another sunny day. Another lonely day, in more correct words. The giant almost never had company by other equines, since they were too afraid that she would crush them under her big hooves. Why had she even been born? She was just lonely all the time anyways. Iza lowered her big head to the ground and ate a few chunks of grass. It was too short now, since she had already eaten a lot of it all over the field she had for herself. All by herself. All alone. The God who had created Iza must've been wanting to punish her for something, since she was of an unnaturally big breed - the BoneSnatcher. This made her reach thirty-one point two hh tall, more than ten hands taller than Engil, the Hototo-mare. Iza wasn't happy. She just wasn't. She had been lonely for several days now - or was it weeks? Last visit she got was just Engil, who was friend enough to talk to her. The BoneSnatcher snorted and looked down at the ground, her blue vision was empty and sad. Until she heard the running steps of a child.
The giant rose her head a little from the ground and turned it to look behind her. She had been right - Carly, the little sister of Melanie who was one of the trainers, came running straight at her with pink rainboots, jeans and a pink sleeveless shirt with a light heart on. The kid was only around eight or nine years old, but she if anyone was her best friend among the humans.

Panting, Carly came up to her and stopped by her front legs. She looked up at the mare with her baby-blue eyes and smiled, raising a hand to wave. "Hi, Iza. Can you lower yourself so I can ride you? Pleaaaaaase?" Her voice was just as adorable as always, and Iza snorted softly and kneeled so that the girl could climb up. She hadn't mastered the technique yet, but she was clumsily dragging herself up on the mare's shoulder using the neon green necklace around her thick, muscled neck. 
The necklace had a bone from an unknown predator hanging in the middle, and was useful as a helping tool when Carly climbed. Leaving marks with her muddy rainboots, she finally got up and sat on Iza's back, right behind her withers.

"Yay! I'm on top of the world, Iza!" The brown-haired girl yelled and stretched her arms above her head. Feeling the warmth of another made the BonSnatcher's eyes tear up and she smiled as good as a horse could. Her friend then fell forwards to hug the mare's big bump for withers, and started to whisper as if she was talking into the giant's ear. Iza could hear her just as well like if she had been talking to her ear.
"Wanna know how I know that? Because you are my world, and I'm on top of you, thihi." Carly hugged her for a good while and sat up again, not realizing that the mare she sat on had shed a tear. Iza's heart was pumping strong in her chest and she felt how her whole existence had a reason again. She was the world for this little girl. Someone loved her and she wasn't alone.
With that thought, she started moving forwards with the little girl safe on her wide back.

This. Is. The. Most. Adorable. Picture. Ever.
I LOVED drawing Iza, and Carly who shall be in my stories (and maybe pictures) a bit more Iza is my beautiful BoneSnatcher and at 31.2 hh, she's pretty big. No one except Engil dares to come close even if she's supernice, but Carly will still forever be Iza's bestie <3
