2 Ur the Ogre

As he saw his father fighting ten men at once. He was surprised, how can his father fight? Didn't he always tend to the pets and grow crops? Mark was dumbfounded, his father was strong and didn't even falter. After he killed those ten men.

His father saw them and suddenly yelled "Behind you!!!"

And as soon as Mark reacted and looked behind. An arrow pierced his mother's heart. Ur ran towards them and Mark caught his mother's body while shocked.

"Ah ah. We lost 15 good men cuz of you. Hey, who are you?" The foul man asked Ur.

Ur just grunted and took stance. He signaled for Mark to run, but he couldn't. Fear struck him and he was trembling. Ur couldn't do anything about it. So he just stood guard, when the men on horses saw this.

"Hey, isn't he Ur the Ogre? I've heard of him. They say he's worth 20 men." A man gossiped as he stared at Ur.

"Oh? Ur the Ogre, you're right. It is him, hey, won't you join us? We're going for war. I heard Ur the Ogre is a man valued greatly by generals." The foul man leisurely said.

But Ur didn't reply, he just attacked and drove his sword to a man, as soon as he pulled it out, he again killed another man. The men on horses were shocked, until the foul man ordered those with crossbows to hit Ur's legs. They did, "whiz!" "whiz!" "whiz!" Bolts flew and two hit Ur's right leg. Taking advantage of this a man slashed Ur's back. But his back was just as tough as rock.

Ur grunted and the pulled the man who slashed his back, then severed his head. As they we're loading the crossbows. Ur hurried to take them out, but this was his mistake. As he went 4 steps forward. A firebolt hit him point-blank. He couldn't react in time, he was hit and flung back to Mark.

"Ah ah. So it's true, Ur the Ogre is worth more than 20 men. You killed 40 men in just 2 minutes. But I heard, your faint weakness are point-blank magic spells." Foul man said while he still had fire on his hands. He casted the magic spell.

"Eek! F father!" Mark was startled, like a cat when you step on it's tail.

"Mark listen to me. Promise me you won't forget this!" Ur spoke while breathing heavily.

"M-mn." Mark replied.

"I'm sorry I kept this from you for so long. I am Ur the Ogre, I fought under the Oars mercenary. In order to escape duty I faked my death. And here I met your mother. Remember,----" Suddenly a man took Mark and drag him to the foul man.

"So about him? Kill him? If he grows up to be like Ur it'll really pester us."

"Hmph. He's a wimp, can't you see he's not even resisting?" The foul man said.

"But, if he wakes up to reality, it's a possibility."

"Ah fine. Burn his eyes. He can't pester us like that."

Ur heard this, he got up and begged them not to blind Mark. But Mark was just in oblivion he wasn't thinking straight.

As Ur got up, he was shot with ten more bolts. This was fatal, and Mark saw this. But he was still in thought. Only when his father fell did he wake up, he screamed, he struggled and tried to break free and go to where his father is.

"Oh? You're right he woke up. It's nice you told me that. Now then, get him over here. Burn his eyes." The foul man playfully said as if it was just a simple matter losing your eyes.

Mark heard this and was afraid. He struggled and broke free once, but they caught him again and as they are laughing at the scared Mark they held him in place. And as the foul man got down his horse and readied a kindling fire. He approached.

"N no!!! Don't come here!!! Stay away! I don't want to go blind!!! Please!!!" He begged and begged in fear. This did nothing, they just laughed and laughed some more.

"Oh, here we go! A new make up for Mark!" The foul man then began to burn Mark's eyes.

Mark screamed in pain, but he wasn't blind yet. He just passed out.

"Ah ah. It's boring when they're down. Keep him with is. When he wakes up we'll go on with it." The foul man said.

But what they didn't know, was that, demons who seek for contracts are actively seeking for those who've fallen to despair. The stronger the despair, the stronger the demon. On Mark's unconscious mind, he talked to himself in despair.

"If my father didn't desert Oars mercenary, this wouldn't have happened. It's all his fault. Mark isn't my name, I don't know anymore." He spoke to his own consciousness. When suddenly "Then shall I give you a new name?" An eerie aura creeped up behind him. As he looked back, he saw a dark figure, it was so dark that no light shall pass, even the bright light, which was his consciousness, dimmed and went dark. He could only distinguish the figure due to its darker form.

"Who are you?" The one who forsook his name asked.

"I am a demon, and I have a name!" The figure replied.

The one who forsook his name asked "What do you want from me? Demon who has a name?"

"I am here to offer you a contract. Do you want power? I'm sure you want it." The demon cheekily replied.

"I accept!" He blurted out without thinking.

"Hey hey, do you really want to form a contract? You do know demons demand something. And it could be your life." The demon said with a serious voice.

"True, I know that. I don't want to die, but I want to live. How about the souls of those I kill?" This shocked the demon, no one has ever negotiated with him. But since "souls" are better than "soul". He accepted, and asked this question.

"Do you swear to forsake god and walk the path of darkness?"

"I don't care, all I want is the power to kill my enemies." The one who forsook replied.

The demon laughed. And he gave him his thoughts "Touch me and my power is yours, but know that you will pay more the more you draw my powers out. I won't help you, you will help yourself. I'm not a generous man you know?"

"Not like you're a man, you're a demon with a name." The demon laughed once more. As his contractor touched him, they began to integrate as one. While laughing he gave his contractor a name. "From now on, your name is Kazein!!! It will mean duty!!! For you shall never forget your duty to offer me the souls of men!!!" After giving him a name, they became one. Kazein now had a dark hole below his throat. He opened his eyes, it was now white. He couldn't see. This wasn't supposed to be there, maybe it was caused by his contract? We don't know, but he now has power.
