Chapter 2 - The Ogre of Mount Tars

Mount Tars was a tall mountain full of valleys and rivers. But there lived an ogre in a castle up here at the peak of Mount Tars. The ogre lived in solitude and loneliness. The ogre hunted the beasts from the mountains once a fortnight. The ogre would eat them raw and fresh. The ogre despised visitors and people. 

But then one day, a princess came up to the peak of Mount Tars seeking a legendary flower, where it was said to come from the moon and fall on earth. She knocked on the door thrice, and the ogre answered it. The princess was beautiful. The ogre fell in love with the princess and welcomed her. He cooked her delicious dinner and gourmet meals. The princess then asked the ogre about the flower. The Ogre then led her to the peak of his castle, and there stood a beautiful silver flower. Before the princess could reach it, she was struck down by an arrow. The arrow came from the Witch of Pacts.

'Have I not told you that you can't have visitors, Igor?' she said coldly. 

The ogre begged the Witch to spare the princess, and she did. She healed the princess and led her down the long flight of temporary stairs. 

'Now, Igor... the next time you accept a visitor, I wouldn't be so kind! You are my servant! Don't you remember that! You were supposed to do what I said.'
