Being a high ranking soldier in the ranks of the Alvarez Empire was no joke. Most soldiers like yourself were forced to go through the most rigorous forms of training just to land a spot within the one of the Spriggan 12's very own squads. You were different, hence your position within Brandish Squad. But despite your rank and status, even you were prone to scoldings, such as now, after abruptly engaging against Fairy Tail's very own Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster.

Now, a cold tension hung in the air, thick and palpable. Brandish's quarters, opulent yet foreboding within Emperor Spriggan grand fortress in the heart of Vistarion, reflected her status as one of the strongest. Velvet drapes framed the windows, casting long shadows across the floor, where you now stood—though not as you once were.

— I told you not to engage with them. She began, her tone betraying the smallest hint of irritation.

— Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster aren't opponents you can just toy with. Even Marin knew better before I replaced him with you.

You stood on the floor, no larger than a few inches now. From high above your perspective. Despite being normal size, to you, she appeared gargantuan. Sitting up straight, she lifted her left leg up, slowly crossing it over her right. Her big toe was painted with pink nail polish to the edge as it smothered your miniature face. It was nearly triple the size of your head.

— I replaced Marin with you because I thought you'd be different. Brandish sighed sounding exasperated, as if this entire situation was more of a chore than a genuine annoyance.

However, she suddenly picked you up in between her toes. Each toe was around the size of your shrunken body, crushing your body as she lifted her leg up to have you face her up giant eyes. Her dark green eyes, contrast to her brighter short hair, narrowed at your tiny little self.

— But now, you're making the same mistakes, instead of following orders. Is there something you have to say to explain yourself?
