Chapter 4

Ogahn returned to the wizard's hut, hopeful and certain of his future. As he
approached the hut he heard other voices with the wizard. He crept to the
outer wall and listened, quickly coming to understand they meant to enslave
him and use them for their own devices. Ogahn, would never be a slave again.

Ogahn roared a guttural warcry and tore through he heavy canvas wall of the
tent. The wizards shouted and scattered, terrified at the rampaging beast now
in their midst. The first he grabbed roughly by the calf and ripped off the
ground, the wizard's head bouncing off the packed dirt floor. He threw the
body at the one who had made false promises to him, and both crumpled onto
the ground. The second he kicked full in the chest, his sharp hoof punching a
hole nearly through him. Ogahn drove the body to the floor and took another
step forward, reaching out and snatching the last wizard by the jaw as he
started to recite the words of some spell. Ogahn crushed the lower jaw and
ripped it off in one swift motion.

He turned to the whimpering leader of the wizards, still stunned under the
limp body of the first wizard and snarled at him. As he crossed the tent, he
grabbed a stone from the edge of the cookfire, it's heat scorching the flesh
of Ogahn's hand. He tossed the dead wizard aside with a rough jerk and pulled
the leader across the floor and through the embers of the cookfire. He wizard
screamed and pleaded, but Ogahn had no mercy for him, no mercy for the weak.
Using the hot stone he shattered both legs and then went to work on the soft
hands of the wizard. His finger bones would decorate Ogahn's beard nicely.

As he twisted the last bone into his beard, he looked up and realized that
the melee had caused the tent to catch fire. In fact, the entire encampment
burned around him. He looked around for the priestess but could not see her
anywhere. He snarled, but knew that he must set out and continue on. The wild
flames of his Lady Ocayie scoured this place clean, and it was time for him
to start anew.
