WELL IN THAT CASE
Cacame Awemedinade sat in his throne room one bleak and stormy morning, Pondering his current affairs. The sound of thunder disquised the distant rumbling of an earthquake. Cacame's contemplation was interrupted by the sudden intrusion of the fortress Baroness, who appeared frantic and nervous.
"What brings to my chambers so early, baroness?"
"there's something outside..." she gasped. "something you'll probably want to see."
"very well." He said, rising from the throne with his hammer at his side.
The baroness led cacame to a watchtower, where he looked up at the dreary grey sky before him. In an instant the dulldrum was shattered by a massive object streaking across the heavens. The sky was lit up by an enormous stone ship, glittering with jewels and glowing with magma. The vessel was so great, it must have had been carved from an entire mountain. It flew overhead like a comet, leaving a trail of steam and smoke.
The very sight of it sent the Baroness into panic, but did nothing to Cacame's stoic composure. However, what followed instantly sent cacame into a smoldering fury. Another ship was making its way through the skies. It was a burning hunk of serrated metal, swarming with demons and spirits of fire. Cacame began his way down the watch tower, his eyes wild with rage.
The great king made his way through the courtyard to the foot of his great colossus. Slinging his hammer to his belt, he began ascending the colossus with only his bare hands. Dwarves gathered around, staring in awe. Some fled the scene in terror, for they could not imagine what Cacame was planning. Once the King reached the top, he brought his hammer down on the forehead of the colossus, smashing through its marble face and revealing the glowing magma inside.
Cacame climbed into the statue, and the magma began boiling from his presence. The eyes of the colossus burned brighter than ever, and, with a terrifying rumble, the statue lurched to life. The marble face cracked as it's mouth tore open, letting out a roaring warcry and spewing gouts of magma and smoke. The statue expelled a massive torrent of magma, which it's hands began to shape into an obsidian hammer. The colossus' feet ripped themselves from the earth, and it began to stride away from the fortress.
The Colossus marched for many miles, it's golden cape dragging behind it and flattening the landscape. Eventually it reached a vantage point - a massive mountain peak - where it could see the two ships so high in the sky. It appeared that they had both taken humanoid form - one a mountainous avatar of dwarven strength and fortitude, the other a grim skeleton burning with hatred. The colossus' size may have been great, but these powerful titans towered over mountains.
The colossus raised its obsidian hammer and stuck the mountaintop, splitting it down the middle. A crack formed, leading all the way down into the bowels of the earth. The colossus cast itself into the crack, and the very roots of the mountain began to shudder. The rage of cacame, conducted through the colossus, channelled all the magma beneath the earth into one massive volcano. It became a smoking cauldron of magma as wide as an ocean - and from this burning void rose a shape so large it was as if a continent was tearing itself from the ground.
It was the dreadnought. The living mountain, an embodiment of Cacame's Endless Anger, his Infinite Rage. Its black body so tall it blocked out the sun, its burning eyes so bright that they blinded all who gazed upon them. Weilding a hammer so huge that it touched both the heavens and the earth, The Divine Colossus King Cacame Leapt into the sky to face its adversaries.
"THEY DARE EXCLUDE ME FROM THEIR QUARREL?"
"ME, CACAME AWEMEDINADE, THE IMMORTAL ONSLAUGHT?"
"JUST WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK I AM?!"
