“Killing is the last resort, true. But the other resorts don’t even have a pool.”

Kardel Sharpeye was born in a remote place deep in the Knollen mountain valley. Here, since time immemorial, its inhabitants have lived by hunting bizarre creatures known as Steepstalkers, which often crawl across the cliffs above their villages. They kill them from afar, then collect the bodies where they fall. Sharpeye was one of the best snipers of that strange tribe, to him, guns were like a part of the body, and aiming was as simple as a light touch.

Then, on the day of the summoning, the day Sharpeye would gain his rightful place in the village, he had to undergo an ancient test: Use a single shot from the bottom of the valley to bring him down. a Steepstalker crawling on a cliff. If it failed, it would be an insult.

In the gaze of his entire clan, Sharpeye raised his gun and pulled the trigger. A Steepstalker fell, and the crowd cheered. However, when cutting the meat of that animal, the whole village began to quiet down and become silent. The Elders discovered that Sharpeye's bullet had passed through the midpoint of the Steepstalker's eyes, and dug deep into its upper jaw. This is exactly the bad omen mentioned at the beginning of a dark prophecy of evil: The one who fired this shot, will become a great man, but at the same time will be exiled.

Therefore, Kardel Sharpeye the Sniper had to leave his hometown with his relatives, because he was cursed by his own shooting technique. And, he will not be welcomed back, until the rest of the prophecy is fulfilled by becoming a legend on the battlefield.
