Journal Entry #90<\/h1><\/span>

I always thought Oni or Ogre Mages<\/strong> were just a thing of legend. Something my parents told me about to make sure I did my chores or went to bed on time. But when I came face to face with one of these fearsome boogeymen myself, it was if I were a frightened child. In the distance, I swore I heard child like voices singing.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLOCK THE DOOR, BLOW OUT THE LIGHT; THE HUNGRY ONI HAUNTS THE NIGHT.<\/p>\n

HIDE AND TREMBLE, LITTLE ONE; THE ONI WANTS TO HAVE SOME FUN.<\/p>\n

HEAR IT SCRATCHING ON THE DOOR; SEE ITS SHADOW CROSS THE FLOOR.<\/p>\n

THE SUN WON\u2019T RISE FOR A WHILE; TILL THEN, BEWARE THE ONI\u2019S SMILE.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

He stood before us with his blue skin as dark as midnight, with short ivory horns protruding from his forehead. His eyes were dark with strikingly white pupils. His teeth were jet black just like his fearsome claws. I tried to run but I was filled with such fear that I couldn\u2019t do anything but whimper as I dropped my sword to the ground. Then, out of nowhere, she appeared, Talon Everhale, shooting arrow after arrow at the horrible monster. \u201cRun!\u201d she yelled at me as she ducked behind cover. The Orge Mage\u2019s javelin barely missed the Ranger as she dove behind a tree.<\/p>\n

\u201cFace me!\u201d the Ogre Mage roared into the night air. \u201cI am Barsh. Bring a human child to me now, or this village will die.\u201d Barsh<\/strong> proclaimed, his words dripping with malice.<\/p>\n

Talon Everhale stepped out from behind the large tree she was hiding behind. Her bow was glowing with brilliant energy arrows pointed straight at the Ogre Mage. \u201cI protect this village foul creature; you shall leave this place immediately or I will remove you.\u201d Her voice was filled with confidence but her hands still trembled ever so slightly.<\/p>\n

Barsh<\/strong> roared in defiance as he charged at the Ranger. A Fearsome<\/strong> foe indeed, Barsh <\/strong>must have intimated Talon because her arrows missed their mark. From my Vantage<\/strong> point it looked as if Barsh<\/strong> was able to launch one last javelin at Talon as he charged towards her. I saw blood in the snow where the Ranger had last stood but Talon was no where to be found. Was she hurt? Had she abandoned us? I didn\u2019t know what to think. Then suddenly, Barsh<\/strong> fell to the ground filled with arrows as Talon emerged from her hiding place. She was clearly injured but she hadn\u2019t given up just yet.<\/p>\n

Barsh<\/strong> stood up and began to laugh. \u201cHa ha ha, foolish human. Did you really think your puny arrows could harm me?\u201d The Ogre Mage then pulled the arrows out of his chest one by one and the wounds quickly healed by means of his Monstrous Regeneration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Closing in on Talon, Barsh<\/strong> reached for the Magic Glaive<\/strong> slung over his shoulder. \u201cPerhaps, YOU shall be my next meal, Ranger!\u201d Barsh<\/strong> said with a hungry look in his eyes. Faster than anything I have ever seen before, Talon Everhale shot so many arrows at Barsh<\/strong> that even he was forced to take cover from the relentless rain of death falling from the sky. \u201cFine, if that\u2019s how you want to play Ranger, let\u2019s see how well you hold up against my magic!\u201d Barsh<\/strong> said pulling out a magic Wand of War Mage<\/strong>. The air grew dry and cold as a Cone of Cold<\/strong> erupted from the wand. The ranger managed to avoid the brunt of the blast leaping out of the way at the last second. Her foot however, appeared to be frozen up to the top of her boot. Unable to place any weight on that foot, Talon Everhale fell to the ground with a large thud. Just when all seemed lost, the other Heroes of Faer\u00fbn came charging in. The druid known as Dragonfly the Grey tended to Talon\u2019s injuries as Nymmestra the Elf Wizard cast a fireball at the Ogre Mage. As the ball of flame erupted around Barsh<\/strong>, he must have known that he was outnumbered. He quickly, launched himself into the sky attempting to fly to safety. As he tried to escape, Nymmesta launched a magic missile at Barsh<\/strong> that exploded onto his chest causing him to fall to the ground. Barsh then stood up and laughed. \u201cYou think you have defeated me?\u201d Barsh<\/strong> burst into his Gaseous Form<\/strong> and disappeared into the night.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Now as we rebuild and I sit alone in the darkness, I am left with nothing but questions. How can we repay the debt we owe to the Heroes of Faer\u00fbn? What brought Barsh <\/strong>to our tiny village? What will we do if he ever returns?<\/p>\n<\/div>
