In a rainy European country there was a boy named James he was one of the princes of that country. One day James, his father, and his brother took a carriage ride and were ambushed and then captured by enemies from a different country who wished to take control of their country.
They were taken prisoner and taken to cells that were located in the basement of the enemy's castle. When there James and his brother were put in a cell but their father was being held by two guards outside of it waiting for the enemy's king to arrive. When the enemy's king arrived he asked James's father to give his country over to him but he refused and he tried to bribe him but he refused. After sometime of James's father refusing the king gave up and told his guards to do whatever necessary to get the country.
The first thing the guards did were whip the father and all the time asking if they could have control over the kingdom but the father still refused. Then they took a torch that was on fire and placed in his mouth and it burnt his tongue bad enough for him to never be able to taste again. They asked if he would give up the kingdom yet but he refused then they burnt him in other areas but still he refused. Then the guard took out a knife and stabbed him in the stomach when asked he refused and then they cut the tendon in his right ankle and asked but he refused and they cut the tendon in his left ankle but he still refused. The guards slashed both his wrists and then asked one last time to give up the kingdom and when he refused they slashed his throat and moments later he died.
After over coming the shock of his father's death and putting aside his grieve James's older brother claimed control over the kingdom Being fifteen he was old enough to run the kingdom. Then the guards tortured and then killed him in the same way that they killed his father.
When all this was happening James had been watching from a cell they had locked him in and he was both terrified and crying over the events. The country was now the king's because James was only seven far to young to rule a country and far to young to be a threat so he was aloud to live. But James was confided to the cell in which he sat now.
For years James was confide to the dark, cold, dirty and small cell without any human contact. The only time he would see other people is when the guards brought him meals or killed other prisoners like they did his father and brother. The only ones James could call friends would be the rats which he would talk to.
" We're really quite similar both being orphans and being stuck in this ugly place with no way to get out." James said to a rat that had just lost it's family due to rat poison. James was petting the rat gently and hold him so he wouldn't gorge himself on his mother's body like his siblings had. The rat gave some reply that most humans wouldn't understand.
" I know it's hard at first but death is not the answer." James told the rat trying to calm him down for the rat was his only friend and he cared much more for the rat then he did his fellow humans. The rat gave a quiet reply.
" Don't worry we'll get our revenge on them, just wait." James said referring to the guards and the king who had sentence both their families to death. This seemed to calm the rat.
During the time that James was locked up the king ran the country but ran it badly and without care for the people. This caused a group of nationalist to form an effort to free James and have him become king because after all it was his right. They also thought that James would run the country much better then the king after all he couldn't run it any worse. So the nationalist spent years planning to over power the king and save James. After nine years they were able to take back control over their country and James now sixteen years old became the king.
Once James came to power he was able to punish the guards and the former king al though some managed to get away. The punishment that they received was death which was exactly what James and his friend the rat had wanted, although the rat didn't live long enough to see it. James although he had no training was a naturally good leader and with the training he got from the nationalist he became even better. The people found James a good leader and his subjects adored him.
Several years later some members of the country that had killed James's father and brother tried to take control over the country again and thus a war begin between the two countries. At first it was like any other war but it was all fought on the enemy's land which is not all that unusual but when they approached James's kingdom things got interesting.
When the enemies approached the border of the kingdom James took a bunch of the prisoners and killed them in the most brutal ways possible and put their bodies on post stuck in the ground at the border, some of the prisoners were still alive when placed there. Some of the ways they were killed were one had all of his skin piled off and then bleed to death. Then one had all of his limbs cut off, then one had every part of his body slashed through. This tact was both a warning to the enemy and a way to scare them off.
Most of the enemies were scared off but the few that weren't were killed in very horrific ways. The enemy soon surrender but James horrific killings weren't done yet. James continued to kill all the prisoners in these ways and then started to boil some alive he would listen to their screams during his meals and it was music to his ears. Soon it became people who weren't prisoners but servants then soon after that everyone lived in fear thinking they could be next.
There were a large group of rebels who saw that James had become crazy and was a danger to everyone so they took upon themselves to save everyone by killing James and they successful in killing James and the people lived in peace once more.
