The girl gasps, rushing over to the mound to re-open the hole she had made earlier. "Oh no! Papa, did you die again?"
The mound slightly shakes with a grunt, followed by the sound of a hoarse, faintly echoing voice. "No." Castle Papa suddenly falters, the bird-guards helpless against the awakening of the giant once sealed within the sand fortress' catacombs. Its limb, a monstrous appendage armored with bits of crab-like shelling that appear to be fused to its flesh rather than merely worn, tears a hole through the eastern tower. The beast moves to further free itself, but is quickly pushed back into place by the great wave-defeater. "Not yet Papa." The beast, soothed by the land's champion, becomes still once more.
The flesh golem, still largely buried beneath the castle, turns its head towards Castor. the mesh of shelling recedes around the creature's squinting eyes, revealing stitched, almost corpse-like flesh. The right eye likewise looks like it was borrowed from a grave, while the left is made of a blackish metal. The hoarse voice speaks again, emanating from the metal eye. The orb glows a greenish gold, its level of intensity matching that of each spoken word.
