The strongest monster of jura forest...the lord of eastern Jura, the chief of the ogre tribe, the flame bearing ogre...was dying.

His wild red hair that was once like the talons of a flame drooped down behind him in a loose pony tail, his throat protected by a thick wooly muffler like a lion's mane, yet his kimono allowed his chest to be bare and open revealing several layers of bandaging. His face was wrinkled and in pain as he clutched his bandages.

He felt the sweat drops on his forehead pour down his face. A sizeable chunk of much of his left abdomen was missing...the opponent he had been fighting had taken a bite out of him mid fight. His eyes fell over the survivors...left overs of the old village, none here were warriors barring two that had stayed for their protection, and what warriors that had been left had set out to find a suitable place to call home. His son and daughter among them. His heart ached at the thought of them, one of his children had already perished....he didn't want any more blood shed....

He had been placed in a tent that was higher than others, allowing him to look over the entire settlement, allowing him a view of all the ogres that were left.

The ogres were scared...immensely so, for the first time in their lives, their numbers had been cut so short. Never had they been a particularly large settlement...but right now...the number was barely skimming past hundred... Almost two hundred ogres, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, friends, husbands and wives had been killed. Not even their bodies had been left for the survivors to bury. This fact alone had hit the morale of the ogres the most...not being able to even leave your loved ones at peace...

"Wake the FUCK up" the sound came from right above the hastily constructed look out tower.

On the top of the tower was a girl, she couldn't possibly be older than fifteen if they were to go by looks but the ogre chief knew the deception in those looks. He knew the Psychopath under that childlike innocent face that was turned down in disgust, in one hand she held a sword that was longer than she was tall, on the other hand...was the corpse of a lesser dragon. She let her grip on its tail loosen allowing it to drop down to the ground with a loud thud. Her long red hair tied back in a pony tail as she jumped down from the tower walking through the mourning ogres, who were quick to make way for her. Her skin was equally as red as her hair. Yet there was no horns in sight.

She walked towards him, the chief, while the other ogres slowly moved towards the corpse, digging into its flesh with their bare teeth. She reached his tent and climbed up the steps, moving in and standing before him looking down with cold eyes. "Yo old man. You still alive?"

The chief felt himself sigh. His eldest daughter but there was no particular love between them. "I've told you before and i'll tell you again." He felt himself speak even through the pain, looking up in as much defiance as he could muster only to see her face turn up in an amused smile while her eyes narrowed. It was clear she took great pleasure in seeing him in pain right now. "Even if i die, it will be my son that becomes chief..." He coughed into his hand, she sat down in a squat, watching him struggle, she felt amazing. "And i keep telling you, he can have it." Her hands were rough, grabbing his beard before making him look up into her eyes. "I just want to see you die."

The chief clicked his tongue, "you should never have been allowed to live...I let my own love for a newborn go against age old traditions and customs, i should have known better...that there is a reason we don't let sixth heaven's fallen see the third day of their birth." The girl chuckled. A deep voice that didn't quite fit her appearance. "Truly, you should have known" she said as she pushed her finger into his wound. "But i wonder, would i have turned like this if you all hadn't made it a personal mission to discriminate  against me, just me." She laughed out as the chief started to groan in pain, his tough exterior falling apart in the face of agony. "Oh who are we kidding, ofcourse i would have, only difference is, i wouldn't have an excuse then, so thank for that~" she removed her hands, leaving him gasping for air as he clutched his sides...

She stared in amusement for a few more second before nodding with a smile. "I hope you live for just a few days longer~" she got back up to her feet, as she turned behind to see a blue haired ogre staring at her emotionlessly. "What is it?"

"The humans, they are back"

The chief made to speka but she was faster. "The ones that warned us of the invasion?" She asked, causing him to nod in agreement."they say they know of a safe space to shelter all the ogre refugees."

"Hmmm" she put a thinking finger to her chin while the chief spoke. "Tell them to go away...as far as we know, they may as well be the ones that sent orcs...what proof do they have that they are  speaking the truth

The blue haired ogre nodded before dissappearing. "Your an idiot you know that." She spoke as she looked towards the entrance. The left over ogres had finished their meal and were all huddled together. Away from the two visitors that were speaking with the blue haired ogre. "What good would warning us have done to them had they been the ones sending the orcs, it doesn't make sense."

"We still can't rule out the possibility..." The girl continued to stare at the two humans that seemed to be in a heated discussion with the blue haired ogre before turning to the chief. "Hey old man, you wanted me out of your hair didn't you?".

------------------------------------

For as long as Reinhardt was talking with the blue haired ogre, only one thing went through his mind.

'How could an entire village be this weak yet be this proud and stupid, how had they even survived.'

What the hell did the gain by doubting the people that had very clearly warned them right from the start?

"You don't understand, you will die like this-"

"I am sorry" the blue haired ogre looked down, it was clear he understood what Reinhardt was talkign about, he was among the smart ones bound by the chains of loyalty and duty. "It is the chief's orders, we can't go against them." He gave an apologetic bow before dissappearing in a blue smoke. Reinhardt sighed, Elsa frowned, she didn't like seeing him like this. "Plan b?" She asked cusing Reinhardt to wince. It had been decided that they would be taking them all by force. "Lets...lets try again tomorrow i am sure they'll agree soon enough."

She gained a small smile as she shookher head, he was too kind for a mission like this. She put a hand on his shoulders trying her best to soothe him when she felt a fiery aura near her.

"Oh they'll agree all right." A girl, red hair and red skin, said as she approached the two, the long katana, longer than her by a full foot was placed on her shoulders as she stared at them, her clothes were odd, it seemed to be armour, but it was too big for her as though she had taken them from someone else a red cape that wrapped around her shoulders, dragging down behind her and various large spike shooting out from behind as she stared at them with a smile and a smoke pipe. "Once they realize their is no food for them, they'll realize they should probably go along with you two.

"Who are you?" Reinhardt was the first to speak up while Elsa got ready. This child, she was too strong for just an ogre...

"Eldest daughter of the chief that he doesn't like, nice to meet you a random majin named me Hajun but he was too weak to actually make me evolve, I am barely half way there."

Elsa felt her eyes widen, "you aren't fully evolved yet?" How? She could feel waves upon waves of dark murderous magicules wash over herself. It was almost as though she was more demon than she was ogre.

Hajun nodded happily. "Mhm!!"

Both Elsa and Reinhardt looked at each other questioningly. "Well...I guess progress is progress?" He felt surprisingly happy, Elsa felt happier seeing him smile after so long. "Welcome abord Miss Hajun."

"Not so fast" Hajun said with a smile, throwing away her smoking pipe before unsheathing her sword. "Lets fight first~"

-------------------------
