Chapter 14

Flashback - The First Ogre's War: In the human camp

"I-I can't," The Soldier said as he panicked and ran off.

Another soldier saw him and blocked his path, "Where do you think you're going?" Beowulf asked.

"The Ogres they'll kill us," The Soldier said.

"We're the only things standing between those monsters and home. If we run, they'll kill everyone," Beowulf said.

"How can we possibly win?" The Soldier asked.

Beowulf held up his sword, "This blade it's called Hrunting. It was enchanted with light magic to ensure that whoever carries it into battle will be hailed a hero. So, you can either be remembered as a hero or forever known as the coward who ran on the eve of victory," Beowulf said.

"Alright, Beowulf. I'll fight," The Soldier as he took out his sword.

"To victory!" Beowulf shouted.

Beowulf led his men into battle against the ogres and he personally killed the first one. The two sides clash and an ogre crushed a soldier.

After a fierce battle, Beowulf surveyed the field of battle, many if not all of his men were dead and an ogre stood opposite him.

"Do your worst!" Beowulf shouted.

The ogre came at him from the fog and smashed Beowulf aside. 

Rumpelstiltskin arrived and incinerated the ogre and Beowulf looked at him in shock, "Y-You killed him," Beowulf said as he saw Rumpelstiltskin holding up his dagger.

Rumpelstiltskin spun around clockwise then all around there was loud thudding sounds of ogres falling tot he ground. 

Rumpelstiltskin faced Beowulf, "I killed all of them," Rumpelstiltskin said as he giggled.

End of Flashback

At the pawnshop, Calista was pacing back and forth in front of Mr Gold.

"Cali, you need to calm down," Mr Gold said.

"I killed my best friend's grandfather," Calista said.

"No, Hook did, you were just there," Mr Gold said.

"I didn't stop him. That's just as bad as killing him," Calista said.

"Stop pacing, you'll make yourself dizzy," Calista stopped, "Good, now... It happened a long time ago, your brother killed him, you didn't. You killed the guards, yes you didn't help him but you wouldn't go against your brother," Mr Gold said.

"What do I do?" Calista asked.

"You're asking me? A man who continues to make the wrong choices?" Mr Gold asked.

"Right, we shouldn't be here... We should be looking for our son," Calista said.

"Can you focus on him?" Mr Gold asked.

"Of course I can, he's our son," Calista said.

"Okay, let's go look for him," Mr Gold said and they walked out of the shop.
