When Aegis spied through the foliage all he could see was something huge, something enormous sitting in front of him with its back turned to the Minotaur. The immense back were covered with black and dirty hair and the head of what looked to be a monster was bald except for a strange ponytail pointing up. On both side of the head Aegis could see two long pointy ears following the skull's curve and then falling over the creatures shoulders. The Minotaur had heard tales of Ogres and their bloody habits but he had never seen one, and see wasn't all he could do when spying, the creatures stench came to his nose.
The stench of the monster's body was so intense and the look of it with piece of rotten skin, not to mention the amount of infect wounds that Aegis started feeling something on his nose. It started like a tickle, then the tickle increase until it seemed he had a squirrel playing inside it. The Minotaur sneezed. If he'd look up again he'd see the monster in front of him hadn't move, but its ears had became tense and were now pointing back, instead of falling over its back.
The mourn and crying of the woman in the other side of the clearing stopped, the sound of meat being cooked over the fire stopped. The clearing fell in silence. Silence remained for a long time and then the sound of something being moved over the dead foliage on the ground started beinh heard. Then the sound of something standing. Over the Ogre's head Aegis could see another Ogre standing up, an enormous club over its shoulder. The creature smelled the air with its ugly nose and when it opened its mouth to speak to the Ogre sitting near Aegis no sound came from it.
The Ogre was seeing him as cleary as Aegis was seeing it. The rotten teeth on the Ogres mouth colored in brown, yellow and red rubbing on each other, then a tongue weated the creature's lips. It was hungry and it had seen food.
