Crack... crack... craaack...

The snapping of the finger bones mixed with the bloodcurdling screams of the
latest fool wizard who thought he could control Ogahn brought a grim smile to
the monstrous minotaur's blood-covered face. Hatred and anger fueld him, and
he thought back to the events that led him here. Ogahn had spent nearly a
year in the forest, learning the teachings of Ocaiye from her priestess.
After that, he had taken part in the marking ceremony, and begun his basic
training with weapons. It was determined that he would go off to the Academy
and study in the warrior's guild. He would be the swordarm of this small
coven of fire worshippers.

He was enthralled by the priestess, and would spend days lazing in the grove
where he first met her, listening to her speak of the Lady Ocaiye and her
teachings. Ogahn longed to touch her and take her as his own. He lusted after
her. She flirted with him and returned his affections, often whispering close
in to his ear, or laying on his chest near the fire as she wove her tales and
preached the words of her Lady Ocaiye. But they never succumed to the passion
that would inevitably lead to her death. Still, he wanted her, and finally
the promises of a traveling wizard lured him into a trap.

The wizard had promised him that he could use his powerful artifact, a ruby
that looked like fire and blood all at once, to allow him to cast a spell of
protection that would prevent the normal gruesome death of a woman who was
impregnated by a minotaur. Ogahn quickly agreed, and hurried to tell the
priestess the good news. However, Ogahn could not find her. No matter, he
thought, the spell would be for him, and would prevent his seed from taking
root. He could tell her the good news after the wizard did his work.
