Vex; The Lightning Cat

Everything seemed as peaceful as every when Vex was born. Her parents were proud to have brought such a beautiful baby girl into the world. Straight away they knew she was going to be an amazing woman when she grows up. As normal, she was into a pard for where she was raised up together with other cubs. The tribes shaman leader blessed everyone in the pard, hoping for greatness out of each of them. Given tales about the Muse of Horrowoods, Harrowyn and other mystical tales and legends of the world. Any story would fascinate such a child with an open mind. Surprising how such a story could influence a trail of events in the future.

Time passed by quickly, year after year until there was no longer any need for the pards assistance. Now classed as adolescence, Vex left the pard to begin learning from her parents. She was amazed at her first sight of an older white tiger, knowing a bit about their history and the dynasty that they have, the treatment they get surpasses everyone else in the tribe. Aspired to be as great as one of them, her mind was determined to surpass the ‘higher’ class in the society. This was the start of training a few hours a day followed by learning and practising how to hunt by her father. Then when resting and relaxing Vex would stay with her mother and learn about medical health care, such as making remedies and treating wounds.

On a special occasion which became regular after the first time, Vex and her father would be joined by a friend of their parents, a white tiger named Dean. His knowledge was greater then her fathers along with his skills and talent. Shy and scared at first to even greet the tiger, Vex gathered the courage to talk to the tiger and she was excited and overwhelmed with joy as they began to talk. Knowing that she was able to meet and watch a tiger was incredible. From then she sought out to become better then Dean, with the help of her father. The training continued and became tougher as was her plan to achieve greatness. Vex and Dean continued to meet up to practise together and go hunting with her father, trying to learn from first-hand experience and watching how a white tiger would do things made her toughen up and hone her own skills, happy and proud of what she could achieve, even Dean praised her by her progression.

Getting older and more wiser with her skills increasing more, more people were starting to hear of this woman that had been hunting with a white tiger, displaying great strength and ferocious hunting skills. On a normal hunting day, well it didn’t turn out to be anything normal; Vex, Dean and her father were out to practise once again when they encountered a wandering undead. Of course as they were all brought up to listen to Harrowyn, they instantly greeted the lost soul with their power to let them rest. A tough fight and the battle was far from over. Distracted for a moment, Vex was caught of guard and rushed at by the undead, no time to protect herself she thought for the worst and hoped. Her prayer was called but not in the way she wanted, her father got in the way and took a fatal blow, his blood sent onto her daughters face and skin which petrified her. The mere sight of the blood from her own parent scared her, she couldn’t move at all. With the power and swiftness of Dean though she was saved yet the end for her father was close. Without the proper medicine to treat such a grievous wound, he continued to bleed out. Vex summoning up a waterfall of tears from her eyes, not leaving her father till his final breathe. His last words were to Dean, telling him to protect her till she was old enough, and this he swore till his final days. Vex knew what would have to happen and with so she ran back to her mother, while Dean decapitated her father.

Years went and she started to get over the fate full lost, yet her happiness and cheerful attitude went along with it. Dean taught her everything he knew to help her survival in tough situations and fight on her own even without a weapon, her speed and agile reflexes helped with her hand-to-hand combat skills. Closing herself off from the world, Vex’s mother made every effort to try and help her in anyway possible, this by being for her and continuing her learning of medicine. The Shamans putted trust into her prowess and allowed her to lead groups of other felines to scout and hunt around the area. Keeping her on track with even more training she became one of few known by most people in the tribe, one of the only with the essence of the cheetah known at least.

Reaching the age of adulthood, as keeping his promise to the deceased father, Dean, having taught everything he knows to Vex left her on her own to progress by her own means and ways. Some of the shamans even spoke of her in meetings about leadership when older and much wiser; her actions had done a lot for their tribe and should be greatly rewarded for her efforts. Things took a turn for a worse once again. Vexs mother became greatly ill and none of the medical treatments that her or Vex knew was working. She begged for the teachings from the shamans so she can communicate with Harrowyn to gain guidance and knowledge of how to possibly treat her sick mother. Too young for spiritual training they had to decline, that brought out a lot of anger which started to influence a lot of her following actions. Leaving the group that she was in order to do more research of illnesses and treatments, nothing was found unfortunately. Vex now patiently waits for the time till she can gain spiritual help from Harrowyn after many attempts to try and find the muse within Verdeluz, no such luck however.
