Prologue
I'll start with the basics. My name is Sethos, I'm a Lizard. I'm tall for a Lizard, I have a long, whip like tail, and sharp teeth. In a nutshell, aside from my height, I'm your everyday Lizard. I live in the forest, in a small village near a river, with my sister, Nova. I like to consider myself a warrior sometimes, but odds are I'm not. My village doesn't have much on terms of warriors, since its so out of the way, but I guess I sort of count. I have dual swords, and that's about it. My sister has a bow and bunch of arrows, and she sometimes help me if we have to protect our village.
You might ask me about the Cats. Don't even get me started on those evil dictators. Those tyrants have oppressed us Lizards for many generations, and they have stolen our lands, and our crops. I didn't always live in the forest I live in now, I used to live on the outskirts of a different forest, in a small village. My mother died when I was very young, so my sister and I grew up with a mother. When I was only 9, and my sister was only 7, the Cats attacked my village. My father died in order to save us, and the rest of my family were taken as slaves. Nova and I barely escaped.
We lived in the wilderness for a long time, for at least an entire year, before by sheer luck, we were found by some Lizard fisherman from another village. They took us back to the village, and I kind family took us in. My best friend is named Veles. However, he isn't much of a warrior. He's a tad cowardly, but he sometimes rises to the occasion.
Your all probably saying about how the Cats aren't evil, but hear me out, as I give you a lesson in history. The Lizards weren't always at war with the Cats, in fact, almost every animal was submissive to the Insects, a powerful empire that used technology. The Insects had conquered many different people, and oppressed violently. The Cats, however, cowardly threw down their weapons, and submitted. In exchange, the Insects let them keep their independence, but they were still being manipulated by the Insects.
For many years, the Lizards were oppressed, and sacked by the Insects. However, a great hero came from some unknown land. His name was Mumm-ra. Nobody really knows where he came from, or what he was, but one thing was for sure: he was our savior. He was an unrivaled sorcerer, and strategist, and he lead our soldiers into battle against the Insect's capital city. With his power and intelligence, the city fell, and the Lizards were freed. We worked to establish our own nation, and empire, only for the Cats to start sacking us. They defeated even Mumm-ra in battle, and he disappeared. Since that day, our people have been repeatedly hit by the Cats. Many people were forced from their homes, as others were taken, and sold into slavery, while others were just killed.
I made the vow to take my revenge on the feline scum, and to someday bring the Lizards into the light again. The Cats, would someday be the ones who knelt before us.
Well, I suppose that's all I really have to say. I can't tell you where my village is exactly, since I don't know who is reading this, but let me just say, if any Cats find this, they will have to get through me and my sister, if they want to take our village.
Note: Okay, so this is the prologue. Let me just say, I liked how the Lizards were more sympathetic in the 2011 series, and that is what I was going for. The Cats ARE NOT going to be the villains, the villains might be the Insects, but I'm not sure. It will intertwine with cannon at some point. Recall, this here is told from a Lizards point of view, so it is of course biased.
