Dear grimoire,

Several of the experiments I am carrying out are nearing their end. New pages will appear soon.

The calm at the mansion is a blessing. Jessica is doing wonders, Naga and the Minotaur are getting along like old friends and my badge tells me that Hageshiiomo is doing well with my client. I can not wait for him to bring me the parchment I asked for, my calcium reserves are dwindling and I am afraid that the various layers on the mansion will be victims of deficiency.

Hades led the ogre to the soul of the collector, Henri Goldenberg, then left to write the incantation. It was agreed that this writing time would be the discussion time allowed.

From what his soul reflected today, Henri was a slender human, fine and not very muscular, with a well-trimmed mustache and goatee, slicked back hair. His eyes were friendly beneath the wrinkles that covered his face.
-Oh by all the saints… Are you… Are you an oni ? I thought they were all gone ! the man exclaimed as he saw the Owlverlord's steed approach. But... But I recognize this necklace ! You're the one I've been watching, aren't you ?
The ogre was surprised by this warm welcome.
-Heh… Yeah grandpa. Hageshiiomo himself !
-Fabulous ! But… wait, are you…
-Dead ? No ! Only passing through, I am on a mission for our common knowledge.
-The Owlverlord ? Oh. A very interesting person ! But if you are still alive, what is the pleasure of this visit worth to me ? Oh, I would have so many questions for you if I could.
-And I have a lot of questions to ask you too.
-Of course ! But what could a humble human bring to a noble guardian ?

This name melted Hageshii’s heart. It's been a long time since someone last called him that. It reminded him of the time in the clan when… No. he had to concentrate.

-Could you give me all the information you remember about the Cursed Twins ?
-Oh… A story that took me far, far enough to meet the Lord. I was looking for a way to bring back my beloved, but not being Orpheus, I fell back on other avenues until I found that of the Twins. Their birth was not documented anywhere, which is strange for ogre twins, but their presence was reported shortly after the Corruption of the Oni. They would be endowed with unimaginable power, as if they were the avatars of Life and Death. One is in excellent health, the other is completely affected by Corruption but does not succumb to it. They are said to travel from world to world.
-That’s what you explained to the Owlverlord, I know it ! Is there nothing more you could tell me ? Hageshii begged. The lives of my people could depend on it !
-There is… one last piece of information that I haven’t shared, actually. I had managed to follow their trail-
-WHERE ?! said the horned monster who saw the King of Hell return.
-The Abyssal Temple of V’rk Fyr’rnalhl. Imprisoned.
Hageshiiomo blanched.
-I'm sorry, guardian. But I don't know any more and I could never have gone any further. You will have to fend for yourself for the rest.

Hades returned and took the silent ogre in the palm of his hand, leading him back to the top of the waterfall to return to Charon's landing stage.

There were places that even immortals feared.
The temple of the primordial deity Roham was one of them.
