Snippet #1919565

"Oomph!" A strained grunt echoed throughout the Spire. Inside the rec room, a gigantic muscle-bound man was hard at work lifting a one ton boulder up over his head. He looked to be struggling. His arms quivered as he attempted to keep the rock up over his head. His eyes were transfixed on the object, completely focused, with his mind set on his next task. He maintained his footing and kept the stone above him. Then suddenly, he released the rock, dropped his arms, straightened his eyes so that they were looking parallel to the floor, and let the rock fall to the top of his head. At just the right moment, as the rock was about to crash against his school, he tensed his neck and popped his head up, pushing up against the boulder. The boulder bounced off his head and into the air for several feet, then fell back down. The man repeated this process, several times, bouncing the boulder as if it were a soccer ball. After about ten of those, he tilted his head forward slightly, and let it fall in front of him, then bounced it with the toe of his foot, then alternated with his other foot, then alternated between the two legs several more times, then kicked it up high above him, and finally caught it between his arms. He tossed the boulder into a corner of the room. "Now that's what I call a workout!" He shouted.

Grinning ear to ear, the man, Ogar Mightswell, ran over to the kitchen, crashing through a wall. As the cloud of dust began to clear, Ogar emerged into the kitchen and turned back to face the giant hole he just made. "Who's in charge of reinforcing these walls?" He asked the kitchen staff. "I keep telling them, make these walls STRONGER! I need to be able to feel them when I one through them. I'm surprised this whole place doesn't come crashing down!"

He jogged over to where the chefs were preparing breakfast for the Hierarchy and grabbed two pieces of toast and two pieces of bacon off of one of the plates already prepared. "Just something to get me through the morning." He told the chefs as he ran out the kitchen through another wall, while stuffing the food into his mouth.

A few minutes later, Ogar ran into the living area on the lower floors, where two other members of the Hierarchy were already gathered. "Ogar is in the house!" He introduced himself. "No need to get excited! I already know you all love me!"
