Chapter 3 - Wolf-Headed Ogre

"AWOOOOOOOOOOOO"!

"What the heck is that"?!

As the loud howl echoed throughout the street, a series of encroaching booms quickly followed. Every few second, a louder and louder boom followed until a hulking figure came bounding into RJ's field of vision.

A snarling oversized wolf head first came into focus, but the rest was surprisingly humanoid. The creature was as big as an elephant and had a gorilla-like body structure with muscles to match. It's arms were as thick as telephone poles that ended with huge meaty hands with rough and dirty claws. Its skin from the neck down was thick and pale gray with a multitude of scars criss crossing . All in all, it was an unsettling nightmare amalgamation of a creature. The monster suddenly stopped a good dozen meters away from him and began sniffing the air, as if it was tracking something. Evidently, the monster appeared to have poor eyesight, judging from all the scars over its face.

RJ stared at the hulking monstrosity, confused at what the giant was, until a series of words began flitting through his mind.

{Name: Wolf-Headed Ogre (Beastial Ogre)}

{Classification: Abomination, Giant, Beast}

{Attribute: Earth [Locked:Ice]}

{Rarity: Uncommon}

{Description: Ogre are nomally large, monstrous humanoids characterized by hideous deformities, absurd strength and a dark desire for human blood and flesh. Due to the unusual usage of ogres throughout the countless tales of collective history, many different subspecies with their own unique traits have developed as a result. The Beastial ogres are a sub-species of ogres that are randomly born with animal traits}.

"Well, now I know what's trying to kill me...now how do I survive?!", RJ thought as he stared at the Wolf-Headed Ogre as he took slow, backward steps.

The Wolf-Headed Ogre crouched lower to the ground, placing it's nose to the pavement and taking slow, powerful breaths. From an outside perspective, it was obvious that the ogre was trying to sniff out it's prey, which in this case was a young man who just happened to show up out of nowhere.

So far, everything was going as planned for RJ. The Wolf-Headed Ogre proved to be a little too dumb to sniff him out, so he could easily just sneak awa-"Mew".

Both RJ and the ogre quickly stopped their movements and turned towards the source of the sudden noise in the otherwise quiet alleyway. The ogre began to slowly stepped towards it, while RJ started to turn pale.

"You have got to be kidding me...", RJ lamented silently as he saw that the source of the noise was a small black kitten in a little cardboard box. For a brief moment, he thought he was going to witness a sweet moment between a large creature and a small creature like in those pet videos...up until he saw the massive drips of drool coming out of it's massive maw.

From a practical standpoint, this situation played out rather nicely for RJ. The ogre was distracted with much more obvious prey, meaning he could just sneak off and run away. All he had to do, was to leave the kitten to it's fate...or at least, that's what he would've done.

Instead, in an act of either heroism or stupidity, RJ did a few quick rolls over to a nearby dumpster and slowly opened the lid. Steeling his nerves, he proceeded to kick the rapidly kick the dumpster to elicit a loud clanging sound that filled the alleyway.

*GROOOOAAAA*!

Predictably, the ogre immediately turned towards the loud banging noise and proceeded to charge at it after releasing an angry roar. Just as fast, RJ proceeded to run away from the dumpster and towards the box holding the kitten.

The ogre slammed into the dumpster and began to rip and gnaw it and the bags of garbage inside of it to pieces, meanwhile RJ had managed to reach the box and secured the kitten.

"Alright, now all I have to do is sneak away with the-OW"!

Just as RJ was about to sneak away with the kitten, a flitting sound flew pass his ears and a sharp stinging pain occured on his cheek. He placed a hand to his cheek, only to withdraw to find blood on his fingers. Looking to see what cause the wound, he noticed a strange jagged piece of metal on the ground.

As he tried to wrap his head around where the metal came from, he suddenly heard several powerful sniffs behind him.

Slowly turning his head, he saw what appeared to be a dumpster torn to shreds and the Bestial Ogre sniffing the air once more...right before staring directly at him. It was at this moment, RJ remembered that ogres loved human blood.

RJ and the ogre stared each down for a few tense moments...until the ogre suddenly lunged towards him.

Normally, when one's life was bound to end, one would see it flash before their eyes as time slowed around them. In this case, time did slow but a voice sounded out in his head instead.

?

It was at this time, a goat popped out of his chest.
