The village, hidden deep in the forest, was no longer silent like it usually was. At every turn of the head, you could see chaos. Whether it was from the rampaging orcs or the defending villagers.
Amidst this chaos, in the thick snow, the supposed corpse of Oscar lay there, buried in the snow.
Standing upon a tall pine tree was the albino orc. The overseer of this operation? From the looks of it, it was as if he was leading the orcs into the village. It was strange, though. The orc was... watching.
A surely innocent lady was caught in this incident. A demi-human woman, of average stature, with long brown hair and brown eyes to match.
She waddled, struggling to travel very far in her loose heels. It would've been the smartest option for her to take those heels off. But she didn't.
An orc came by, grabbing her by her legs and arms. Slowly, the orc ripped the demi-human apart.
[Cast: Rapid Glacier Recurve]
4 arrows shot toward the orc, shooting it in 4 different places. The throat, the chest, and both knees. It decimated all 4 of those body parts.
"Ah... dang it. I was too late. Another life has been taken because I was too slow."
The holder of the frost bow was Oscar. He stood there, with an unfamiliar aura. His skin was pale white, with ice in his air. He had some kind of psychotic glare at nothing and a fresh pair of icy wings.
"Oscar!" Ranoy called out to Oscar. Oscar turned his head to identify the noise.
'I feel as if I know this girl.' Oscar thought. It was strange. She was oddly familiar. But, what was she crying out for?
Her legs were stuck under some destroyed rubble. Oscar was quick to swoop toward her and save her, prying the rocks off her legs and picking her up.
"You alright?" Oscar asked, carrying her in his arms.
"I'm fine... but I can't say the same for everyone else."
"What happened exactly?" Oscar began his flight. It started Ranoy for a second, seeing Oscar in such a strange state. But considering his power, and the current situation they were in, she brushed it off.
"The attack happened so suddenly! If it were in the daytime, we would've easily been able to ward off. But they attacked so suddenly, in the middle of the night, as well."
"Do orcs usually not attack in the night?"
"Yes!"
"Hm. I see. I'll see if I can deal with this. You look for help."
"Alright-"
At the same second that Oscar placed Ranoy down, he was up in the air, yet again.
[Cast: Rapid Glacier Recurve]
He stuck his bow out, with 14 arrows forming in his hand. He placed all 14 of the arrows on the bow's string, drawing it back. Then, he let it go.
With pinpoint accuracy, the 14 arrows drove into the skulls of 14 orcs. The main problem was neutralized.
"Now I just need to deal with that... albino?" Oscar noted. It just slipped out of his mouth. What albino?
He didn't know what he was talking about, but he did notice one more orc, perching from a tree. It was a strange-looking orc, with white skin and black hair. But it was an orc. It had to be killed.
He flapped his wings. In one flap, he reached the orc.
"!"
Even the orc was surprised by the sudden attack.
"Die!"
But even with the orc being surprised, he blocked the attack and redirected the momentum. Instead of wielding a spear, he had a bone sword.
The counter sent Oscar flying into a tree. He recovered, falling to the ground. The orc descended as well.
"It's you again. The human with the gift."
"The gift? Do you mean... the Esoterik? Now that I'm thinking about it, I can sense it in you too. You're not an average orc, are you?"
"I wouldn't consider myself to be an orc. I'm nothing like one. I am Routhu."
Routhu dashed at Oscar.
[Cast: Fire Claw]
He swiped upward with his bone sword, the tip of the sword engulfed in flames. Narrowly, Oscar ducked, evading the attack.
"Jeez. I didn't think we were getting serious so fast."
Oscar charged at the orc with his low advantage, going for a tackle. Routhu jumped into the air, kicking down at Oscar.
"Ack!" For a second, Oscar felt himself losing consciousness... But he quickly snapped back. He kicked Routhu off him.
Routhu retreated, momentarily.
"You seem... stronger than before, human."
"You told me your name, so it makes sense that I tell you mine. No, I can't tell you my name. You're-"
Routhu twisted his sword, thrusting it at Oscar.
Oscar ducked, unsheathing his sword.
[Cast: Frostfire Slash]
He cut at Routhu's legs. Narrowly, he missed.
[Cast: Verglas Rising Pillar]
A pillar of ice rose underneath him, shooting him into the air.
[Cast: Rapid Glacier Recurve]
12 arrows came raining down.
[Cast: Flame Burst]
As they came down toward Routhu, they melted, turning into droplets of water.
"No way... I'm at a disadvantage right now, huh?" Oscar said as he jumped down from the pillar.
[Cast: Burning Blaze Bullets]
6 bullets, all extremely hot, came flying toward Oscar. He sliced through all but one. It was far too dull to pierce him badly, but it did something. He ignored the pain.
[Cast: Grand Frost Dragon]
A dragon appeared, forming from the moisture in the air. It was bigger than anything Oscar had ever made in his life. If Routhu got hit by that, he wouldn't have lived to see the next day.
He knew that too.
So he escaped.
The dragon crashed into the ground, along with Oscar.
