Sydney stumbled but managed to stay upright as the stone ledge beneath him began to move. For a split second he feared that the ground was caving in beneath him, but he quickly realized that he was moving in the wrong direction for that - the stone was moving up instead of falling down. He looked to one side, and saw a giant stone face looking back at him.

He was standing on the shoulder of a huge stone golem. 

“Oh. Hello?” Sydney said, skeptically. He looked around to see if there was a safe spot to jump to rather than standing on top of this thing. There was not - two more golems in the vicinity were also beginning to sit up, and the place Sydney had come from was too far down to safely return to. 

“You have awoken us.” The golem that Sydney was standing on said, its voice rumbling through the cavern.

Sydney raised a hoof nervously. 

“Yes, well, I’m very sorry about that.” He said. “I’d like to get out of your hair as soon as possible, but I may need some help. My way forward is up there-” He gestured with his hoof to a ledge above the giants’ shoulders. “-And my way back is all the way down there.” He gestured next to the opening in the cavern that he’d just come from. 

“Hmmmm. You would like to go forward, wouldn’t you?”

“Well, yes, ideally.”

“Alright. I will help you. But be more careful next time.” The stone giant held up his hand for Sydney to climb onto, and lifted him up to the ledge. Sydney disembarked with relief.

“Thank you very much! I’ll be careful not to disturb you again.”

He continued into the dungeon.
