History:
A prophecy from the Seer of the Southern Mountain:
"Beware the frozen heart of the North,
Who's selfish actions bring great darkness fourth.
From the smoke and ash he will rise,
Darkest soul feeding on power and lies.
He'll bring a winter without thaw,
Until the Summer returns with the Sun in her paw."
Family Knows Better
Salem was the only kit in his litter, born to Khafra and Tabia, the keepers of ancient relics. He spent his formative years
learning all about the family business - they find, catalogue and protect potentially dangerous artefacts, usually
items possessed with the powers of Deities.
Salem loved his parents, but couldn't find much interest in their work. He learned quickly but had no passion. Once he was old enough he started wandering the deserts beyond their oasis home, looking for a purpose. Instead, when he was 12 moons old, he found Anna Summers, an adventurous kit with a playful heart. They met each other everyday, he told her fantastic stories of all the things his parents had collected, she gave his life purpose.
He loved her, with all his heart.
He gave her one of his earings, as an offering for her to be his mate. She agreed, but less than a moon later their temple was attacked.
One Eye Is Better Than Two
King Fergus, of the Arctic Kingdom had visited a few times, usually asking for weapons that his parents would not provide. This time he came with an army and demanded a weapon powerful enough to kill even a Deity. His parents refused and as recompense, Fergus had his cats burn their temple and their entire territory, killing both of them in the fire. Salem just about survived, suffering heavy lung damage from smoke inhalation. As such, his voice was forever changed to a wheezing rasp, shrill and unnatural.
As soon as he had the strength, Salem ran from his hiding place in desperate search of life. He knew Anna was set to visit that same eve and hoped desperately that he would either find her alive, or not at all. He found an item of her clothing, singed and almost destroyed in the fire but he could find no body. He collapsed to the ground, sure this meant she'd died in the fire. He stayed there for hours, unable and unwilling to move again, until he finally thought of his parents. Perhaps they'd survived. He ran for the temple, desperate, hoping, and found only their charred remains. It seemed Fergus was not satisfied that the fire would kill them and had their throats slit before leaving the fire to destroy the evidence.
He howled, his heart broken. In one evening everyone he'd ever loved was gone.
He grieved, crying and covered in ash, for an entire day before something caught his eye. A crystal his father had carefully locked away. It had no name, but it was said to contain the powers of a dark creature, power enough to destroy any opponent who stood in your way. Picking it up in his paws, he felt its power humming to him, welcoming. He also knew though that this weapon required a sacrifice - that it must be wielded in the body. But surely any pain would be worth destroying the one who'd taken everything from him.
Snarling, he used his own claws to remove his left eye, scarring his face in the process. Crying and hissing with pain, he forced the crystal into the empty socket and its power zapped through his veins like lightning. He could feel frost gathering at his paws, newfound strength in his muscles and he intended to use it.
It's Too Late For You, But Your Son Will Do
It took Salem many years and many small conquests to gather himself an army. He took small villages, using his newly given ice powers to freeze anyone who stood against him to death. With his army assembled, he marched them to the Arctic Kingdom. He found a land prosperous, with King Fergus having already died some time before. Cheated of his revenge, Salem swore he would bring his wrath on the entire royal family.
Leaving his army on the outskirts of the Kingdom, undetected, he faked sickness and fear and begged for shelter in the mountains. King Angus gladly took him in, and he and his mate, Lotus, nursed him to health. As thanks for their kindness, he led his army into their home and murdered every cat living there. Lotus managed to escape with her youngest kits and he sent some of his cats out to find them while he took control of the Kingdom.
All Hail The King
Salem called a meeting of all the cats in the Kingdom, pretending to be King Angus. He presented them with Angus' skinned body, wearing his pelt as a sign of his victory, and proceeded to drown the remaining royal kits in the lake, along with their mother.
One escaped though, and Salem will not know peace until Monty is dead.
