How did I get here?

Throughout my life I've been no stranger to battle, to pain. Wherever it looms I always seem to find myself caught in the middle.

I always wondered how I did it for so long, trapped in a whirlpool of chaos.

But somewhere along the way I found hope.

In all that fire I was able to forge something stronger than anything that could be thrown at me.

That driving feeling that pushed me day after day. For in the darkness I saw the light, a light worth fighting for even if I had to give it all.

And give it all, I did…

It wasn't enough…

Everyone I knew, everyone I cared about, everyone I ever loved was slaughtered as I watched helplessly from an icy tomb. Before I to joined them in the abyss.

As my body decayed my soul was burning. My failure, my punishment cut into my essence until amongst the pain, anguish and despair a hand reached out to me and with it; a bargain.

It offered me retribution and I blindly accepted it, this was when from behind all of my grief spewed fire, hatred, rage, a set of tools that tore me apart until all that remained was a fractured shadow.

After that I once again found myself fighting with a purpose, one singular goal.

But at the heart of this crusade there was no hope, only anger.

By the time I was confronted with the truth and folly of my ways I did not care.

Bi-Han burned that night…

I now serve as a flame without a glimmer of light, serving a purpose that is not my own.

I have descended into heart of darkness and beyond.

This is how I got here and I am never coming back.

Hanzo Hasashi is dead…

I am Scorpion.
