Kingdoms Unknown: Kingdom of Fire

Chapter 2: The Ogre

"I haven't had human in some time." the ogre snarled "This should be great!" He brought out a big brown club with spikes alone the upper half. All three of us gave a look of understanding, then Ash raced to the horses. Melody and I run off as the ogre came towards us. Ash finish releasing the horses, and we jump on. Together we gallop through the trees with the ogre on our tails. "What is that?" I ask.
"An ogre." Ash answered. "Looks like we're lucky it's a minor, too"
"Great!" said Melody sarcastically. "How do we kill it?"
Ash thought about it for a second. Then, he lit up. "We need to find a spot the sun hits nicely."
"Alright, spread out, and find one. We'll signal each other if it's found." I said.
We each go off in different directions, and of course, the ogre follows me.

Snowbell dashes forward as I direct her past trees. My plan is to slow the ogre down, but it uses its club to knock them down. The worst of it is that it's coming closer. It almost grab Snowbell, but I turned before that happened. I started grabbing twigs and rocks, and throwing them at it. Eventually, one landed in his eye causing him to yell a GRAWR sound. This made him really mad. He started banging his club everywhere and on everything. Snowbell was getting shaky, but I glad she's holding on. At this point, the ogre was getting ready to smash us. My only hope was that something unexpected happened, and it did. An arrow came out of nowhere, and threw off the ogre. I look to the right, and see Melody riding behind the trees pointing in the same direction. We found the spot.

As the ogre lifts up, I rush over to Melody. We ride off while it follows us. "So, where's the spot?" I ask.
"Not far, as long as there are no delays."
"Great. Ash?"
"Already set up. We just need to get the guest of honor to his location."
We continue on. As we get closer, Melody shoots it again. It missed this time, but it shot a branch that broke off afterwards. The branch banged the ogres head, and it fell down. This gave us sometime to prepare. We finally arrived at the place, and hid. The ogre caught up and said, "Where are you my yummies? It's time for my lunch." When It stepped on the marked to the ground, Ash came out. "Hello up there!" He shouted. The ogre gave a big grin. "Here's one."
"Yeah." Ash said slowly.
"Where are the others?"
"You'll never find them."
The ogre gave a look of confusion, then it became anger. He was readying hie club to smash Ash. I began dashing towards him, when Melody stopped me. She shook her head, and pointed. I look, and see Ash with a stick in his hands. It wasn't an ordinary stick, though. It was brown with a silver spiral going upwards, and at the tip was a sapphire crystal. Using the stick, Ash caused the boulder to snap in half letting the sun hit everything. The ogre made a moan as it crumbled to the ground. We rush over to Ash. "I think I got ogre in my mouth." He said as he coughed.
"Well, you did it." Melody congratulated with a pat on Ash's back.
"Thanks."

I'm happy everything went well, but the one thing that I can't let go was what I just saw. Could it be that Ash is what I think he is? Could it? I have to know. "Ash." I called.
"Yes-oh." He started, then cut off. "I know what you saw is confusing, but there's is an explanation."
"What's that?"
"You want me to tell you know?"
I Gave a look, and nodded. "Fine." He said. "The truth is that I'm a sorcerer. I kept it secret to keep suspicion of my back." I was about to ask why he didn't tell me, but he stopped my lips from moving. "I know you're wondering 'why I didn't tell you.' It's your parents. If they found out I was magic, they would kick me out along with my dad. It's not that I don't trust you."
"Alright." I said "Let's leave this area. Smells like ogre, and I think we all had enough of it right now."
Ash and Melody nodded in agreement.

We ride off on our horses, downwards. Next up, Flamis.
