The Story of the Ocs Clan

 

Tis a day of labor and hunting for the Clan of the Ocs, a clan of fifty including children. Was a typical day no different than any other, food was prepared for the evening meal by Mitzel the mother. The table was set by two sisters, Jessica and Kaley who were twins. Mother said. "Thee two are late, what keep thee from thy duties." Jessica spoke up, for Kaley was shy and timid. " We were looking for the lost cat, Mom. It has been three morn since we last saw it." Just then the door of the Tonefield house opened there stood the father of the family and leader of clan Dagda Oc. Mother looked up from hearth she was cooking from. Smiled and went to Dagda, hugged him and helped him to remove his armor. Mother said. "'Tis time for supper wash and sit down, girls thy do the same. At the table the girls told father and mother of the lost cat. Dagda listened and told the family that strange things have been disappearing around the valley, mostly stock and pets.

There was a knock on the door, which startled the womenfolk, Dagda got up reached above the door for old Viking sword that belonged to his father. With blade in hand he opened the door. There was a young boy there standing all bloody and short of breath. Dagda knew of the boy he was his cousin's son, "What be wrong boy." Dagda asked. The boy took a breath and said. " It was bloody awful my lord." "What is it my son?" asked Dagda. "Right before the meal we heard the horse whinny, father ran out to see and was stomped by a huge creature then ripped apart. I ran for here to get help. For father and I are alone in the house." The boy explained. Dagda told mother to keep the boy and girls inside. He got his armor and weapon ran to get help to go to the cousin's house to check.

Dagda and four other men went to the cousin's house found him dead as the boy said. One of the other men went into stable to check livestock. Dagda heard a scream and looked over to where it came from, only to see the poor fighter fly from stable, missing an arm. Dagda and the others ran to stable only to see the worst looking creature that only they had seen in nightmares. A man larger than normal with a large helmet and red glowing were the eyes would be. One fighter cast a spell to protect all the men. They attacked the giant, but the giant cast a spell knocked all of them out of stable. The fighter told all of them to cast of this scroll if they wanted to defeat this monster. When they did a huge explosion went off in the stable and heard the creature die. Then a few other fighters showed up to tell of the town being attacked by creatures with one eye.

Dagda told the men to go get their families and to get to safety as best they can. Dagda ran to his home, but when he got there a one eyed creature was banging on the door. Dagda pulled his katana from its sheath and yelled to creature. "Come to me so I can send your soul back to hell were you came from." As the creature turned Dagda thrust the blade into the creatures stomach, only to have the blade break. He plunged the stub of the sword into the creature's eye. The creature picked Dagda up. Dagda knowing that he would be ripped apart just as his cousin, prayed to the gods for a miracle. All of a sudden the creature growled and Dagda knew this was it, his last possible breath. He closed his eyes and suddenly felt hot fluid over his face and tremendous amount of weight on his body. He opened his eyes only to have the creature on top of him dead. He pushed the creature off, and looked up. There was Mitzel standing in the doorway trembling and as white as the sheets on their bed. He looked over to see the Viking sword sticking out of the creature's back, thrust directly in the spine. Dagda grabbed Mitzel hugged her, picked her up and took her inside the house.

Dagda was giving orders, as if he was commanding a war party, to the family. "We have to grab what we can and leave on the boat." After they gathered their things, all of them were headed to the docks to get to the boat. When they got to the docks a tall creature like the one at the stable was breaking barrels open and eating the salted fish. The young boy dropped the container he had and ran toward the creature. As he leaped off a box on the dock onto the creature's back he told Dagda to get family on the boat and get out of here. The boy took his dagger and shoved it between the slits of the helmet. As Dagda maneuvered the boat out of dock area he could see the brave boy only to be torn to shreds by the creature. Other families were on boats heading out only having what was on their backs and what they could carry. In the dark the ship was hard to sail, but Dagda did not want to light a lantern for fear of attack. That night of all nights there was a storm and ships lost sight of one another.

Well after two days at sea the boat came to a town called Papua. Dagda sold boat for food and supplies. While trading with a mage he talked of the horrifying night of terror in their city. The mage told him, that the creatures with one eye were Cyclops and the tall human figure with red eyes was no human but a titan. Dagda asked. "Is there a peaceful place in this land to live?" The mage thought and told him "Not here, but I know of a wonderful place to live. Come I will gate you and your family there." When Dagda told Mitzel of the news she was happy to know of such a place. The mage stood by the family and started to mumble words that were deft to the families' ears, but then a blue portal appeared. The mage told them to step through and when they did they saw a stone building and monks walking around. Dagda asked, "Where is this place?" The mage told Dagda that this was Yew the city of justice. "I like this place and this will be home. Hopefully some day the clan of the Ocs will find each other. For they are still spread out over Sosaria." So if you see any one named Ocs tell them that the family lives in Yew, and are looking for their Clan to get together again.

This is the story of how the Ocs Clan came to end. Out of fifty people only six are known to have survived the horrifying night in Titan Valley…
