Just some demon.

Looking down the street, you see humans running for their lives as a big demon-beast seem to have rushed out of one of the alleys and smashed right through the stand of some fruit vendor!

The demon is reptilian in form with shining black scales, a long tail and a snake-like head with wide open jaws that shows off more rows of sharp teeth than an avearage shark! It's not as huge as some demons can be, but big enough to be able to swallow most men whole.

You watch as it shakes the broken stand off and snaps after some of the stupid humans as they run past it in panic, rather than straight away from it. For a moment you consider just turning your back at it and walking away, as the local guards should be able to take on that sort of lesser demon without too heavy losses...

Then you see how it homes in on a small figure who's just standing there in the middle of the street, trembling in fear and obviously not capable of running. It's not like a few civilian losses would bother you either, since you don't give much regards for people who's neither strong enough to fight, or smart enough to run.

But at the other hand, you do take it very personal when something start stalking prey that you consider your own! And this demon has definitely crossed the line as it hungrily eyes your little cute peasant girl!

You start running towards the beast just as it readies itself to pounce upon the hapless girl. Just as the demon is about to leap, your axe embeds itself in it's neck, making it roar in anger and turn it's head towards you!

Having been **** to throw your first axe at the creature, you draw your second one while still accelerating forwards. The beast hesitates for only a second, dazed by the first wound you've inflicted and confused by your charge, and that's the only opening you need as you lunge at it, your axe spinning upwards in a great arc that cuts right through the beasts long neck and sending it's head flying through the air!

While the sreaming and running start dying out somewhat, as most humans has ran out of sight, you swiftly wipe your axes from foul demon blood off on some piece of cloth that seem to have been part of the fruit vendors stand.

The blood also covers a lot of the street, and the demon still writhes in it's ****-throes, but you made sure that that none of it hit the girl, since you really hate to have your prey smell of another hunter's blood!

"Y... you saved my life!" The girl stammers, staring forth and back between you and the dying creature.

"Yes, I did." You grunt, frowning a bit over her bad manners. Even an ogre like yourself has enough manner to say at least 'Thank you'!. "I save u'r pretty skin, now u owe me un'."

"Uh... Yeah... Thanks!" She says, her manners still clumsy, but her deep bow for you at least somewhat acceptable.

"I save u'r whole life, now u owe me un' hour of it." You tell her, friendly but matter of factly. "Ogre standards."

The girl stares at you, trying to figure what you mean, and then suddenly she seem to remember you from the last time she saw you... Her eyes are drawn to your loin cloth, and then back to your face while she swallows hard and wet her lips, obviously trying to find some way out of the situation.

"You not think Ogre standards okay?" You ask, frowning a little. "I say it's good deal. Some'd say a week, some a year. It was only small demon, I say two hours. Good deal?"

"You only said one hour..." She starts but then fall silent as you frown again, obviously getting your point and not willing to risk getting the time increased again. "Uh... yeah... It's a good deal..." She says, stumbling a little as you easily pick up the grain from her back and push her gently in the direction she was headed.

"You need hurry back to home. Lead way." You tell her, sounding as gentle as a half-ogre could...
