It was at the beginning of the war against Venadyl that the first Demi Giants were born, seen as a curse caused by the mages of Venadyl, it was customary to kill the young Demi Giant by burying him alive to erase the curse.
The Giants could not bear to see their offspring smaller and weaker... For warriors like them it was a terrible shame...
At first it was very rare to see births of Demi Giants, but the more time passed, the more Demi Giants were born... Great massacres took place that weakened the giants, since they killed their own children...
The war against Venadyl continued in full swing and many Giants perished, Rogg the emperor of Oosa decided against the wishes of all the Giants, to forbid the massacre of Demi Giants...
Rogg saw the massacre of the Demi Giants as a waste, instead of killing them it would be better to make them fight in the war against Venadyl.
But he preferred to wait for the right moment to introduce them into the war. A moment when the Giants would be in great need of reinforcements to avoid any complaints...
A few Demi Giants had already fought and some of them were doing well, to motivate them, the emperor announced that glory in the battlefield would prove the worth the Demi Giants and that they will be accepted in Oosa on an equal footing with the Giants.
2 days after the summoning of the demons, the time had come for Kho, the emperor's nephew to take his first steps on the battlefield with the first army of Demi Giants at his head...
"I am a messenger from the great general Yhorm, Kho you are requested"
Kho who as usual was training with his weapon, turned around, sweat beading on his forehead, the human messenger had his eyes lowered as a sign of respect, he
calmly waited for Kho to come, who released his breath, relaxing each of his muscles, finally he was going to fight and show his worth...
On the way, Dule followed Kho, going down the stairs of the great palace, the massive door that led to the exit was in front of them, Kho turned back smiling at Dule his favorite servant, who perfectly understood the desires of the Demi Giant, because he was the one who spent the most time with Kho, he was more than a servant, he was the closest thing he had to a master, a father...
The light burst forth and the noise of the beasts could be heard, a large army was there, Kho advanced, passing the various Giants and human slave soldiers, the few dwarves and beastmen, tents were being prepared, they were at the great city of Giga, birthplace of Kho who spent most of his time at the palace of the 3 stones.
Kho as he advanced noticed, many Demi Giants in training, among the Giants, which made him smile, he would not be the only Half Giant after all, he stopped for a moment raising his arm in a sign of strength, but the Demi Giants did not seem to be in the same state of mind as him, one of them in particular seemed disgusted to see such behavior coming from Kho.
The dusty ground of Giga rose a little in the air because of the wind, hitting Kho's face, making him cough a little, under some laughter from the Giants, one of them snickering said
"Messenger slave, who is this Demi Giant?"
"These incapable Demi Giants can't even stand dust AH"
"Where are you bringing him?"

The human messenger, showed a special red fabric where a sort of medallion was hung, the giants immediately stopped laughing, and resumed their work,
Kho irritated continued his way towards the great General by walking a little faster, which almost forced the messenger to run.
After a long time of walking, finally the tent of the Great General was in sight, Kho advanced and entered after the messenger confirmed that he could enter.
In the tent, the Giant, Great General Yhorm was there with a few other giants and a dwarf, and 3 Demi Giants.
"Are you Kho?"
"Yes, Great General."
"Very good, Kho you have orders to retake Bara in the east, do you know what's going on there?"
"No, I just know that we are invaded by the enemy"
"Demons, according to the cowards who fled, do you believe it?"
"It doesn't matter, who invaded us I will massacre them"
Yhorm began to sneer, his warrior soul approving the words of the young Kho
"That's the right answer, the Venadylians will be crushed by the giants of Oosa."
"Kho, I name you General, you will be in each of a new army under your command, and you will massacre the vermin who dared to invade us in Bara!"
"Grand General, I am not from your army?"
A general stood up, before speaking, by the name of Nigus he began to speak
"You will be under the orders of the great general Yhorm, but you will not be one of us, you will have control of a new army"
"Because you are a Demi Giant of Imperial blood you will have for soldiers, the Demi Giants."
"The 3 Demi Giants here, will be captains under your command, they are more competent than the other Demi Giants"
Looking at them, the voice of the great general ordered "Introduce yourself to your General!"
"I am Niger"
"I am Niga"
These two Demi Giants were identical, twins with calm eyes.
The third seemed annoyed and simply said "Yholm"
Kho understood quite quickly that these Demi Giants were probably the progenitors of General Nigus and Grand General Yhorm given the similarity in the names.
The dwarf stood up in turn to speak.
"Well, General Kho, we will now form the creation of your army, please follow me."
The day was going to be very long for Kho, the formation of a new army, his new rank of General, all this was extremely sudden and stressful for him who thought he would join the army of the great general Yhorm...
At the palace of the moon, located in the new capital of Oosa, Rogg
"Gah this cursed Aigam he still doesn't answer!?"
The emperor was tapping his foot from his Throne, each time his foot touched the ground a small tremor was heard, the emperor's advisors near him were silent, they knew well that annoying the emperor even more would mean an atrocious death.
The warrior messenger in front of the emperor bent his knee and had his head down. "No, we have no answer, O powerful master of the giants"
The emperor's face twisted with anger, Aigam answered each time, but when something so unexpected happens, he is absent.
Did he betray me thought Rogg, yet according to some Giants who managed to escape Venadyl, the demons were also killing the Venadylians... It was just as possible that Aigam had lost her life in Venadyl, that these demons were an experiment that had gone wrong...
But why didn't Aigam tell him about it until now? He himself who helped the giants so much in the past, Rogg knew perfectly well that without the help of the mage, Venadyl would have won the war, the potions and information delivered were what allowed the Giants to dominate Venadyl despite a large number of losses...
Oosa was weakened, a new war against a new enemy would finish them off... In just 2 days the fortress of Bara and Zoz had been captured by the demons, for the first time Oosa was invaded on its own lands...
Sounds of troops advancing towards the palace could be heard, the Rells of powerful creatures were used by the giants as a means of rapid transport.
The Imperial Prince Durr with one hand pushed the doors of the palace, he was the third son of the emperor, the favorite because of his exceptional strength which positioned him as Great General, unlike his father, he had short hair, preferring to cut it so as not to be bothered in the middle of combat.
The astonished emperor stood up.
"Father, leave Bara to me and leave Zoz to the new army of Kho, I beg you!"
"No, I have already made my decision, son."
"But father, this Dragon is in Bara, leave him to me, I will take his head!"
"Kho will not be able to win, his army has no experience, they will just end up massacred."
Durr persisted, sure of himself, Bara was not going to be liberated with only the sending of an army as weak as Kho's, but his father got angry..
"Silence, you will obey and go to Zoz, I want you to massacre all the demons that have invaded this place"
"But father, and Bara?"
"This new army will buy us time, Goan is on his way to Bara"
"Son, you will protect our lands from Zoz, now go!"
