Yharim

Little did anyone know, the moment Yharim was born, he was destined to rule the world. To become a Tyrant.

In his early years, Yharim, along with his ten-year-older brother Ignalius, were raised by a loving mother in the outskirts of the Jungle Capitol. However, his family was quite poor, which forced them to gather food through hunting. As they would hunt for food, their mother would teach them about the importance of the Mind, Body, and Soul, and that, every living creature, be it a blade of grass, or the mightiest of gods, was simply a combination of these three elements. She would teach them that every time something dies, its soul would leave its body and roam the land until it found a newly created body to inhabit, forming a new mind. Yharim, at his age, however, did not understand any of this, while Ignalius didn't seem to care.

One night, the then 8-year-old Yharim approached his mother and asked "Mother, whatever happened to Father?". After a long silence, she responded, tears lining her eyes. "Your father left before you were born, dear. He went to go live in...a better place. Now please, do me a favor and never bring up the topic of your father again." Yharim accepted this request, and never brought up the topic again, much to his confusion, however. If his father were living in a better place, why would she not want to talk about him?

On his tenth birthday, Yharim was gifted a dragon egg from his mother, being told it was memento from one of her many travels. Yharim had asked about her travels on more than a few occasions, all of which she would reply to with a simple, yet cold "You'll understand when you're older, dear". Yharim accepted the gift, but, realizing how much his mother was hiding from him, he started to resent her. He remembered all the questions he asked that she refused to answer. "Mother, why do you have a bow? I thought you didn't like killing people.", "Mother, why do you always hide from other people? Are they going to take you away?", "Mother, why do you always act so weird? Are you a criminal?". If there was one thing she was good at, it was staring at him right in the eyes and telling him never to ask her something again. Yharim refused to speak to his mother again after that.

Around when Yharim turned 11, Ignalius began to participate in a cult that would worship the fallen god Xeroc. What unfolded within this cult was unknown to anyone else, but it would overtime begin to drive Ignalius insane, which would cause him to get into many fights with his mother and younger brother for seemingly no reason, until he was forced to leave the family.

Ignalius would then go on to commit a terrible offense to the Jungle Council, an offense so great that the council demanded his entire family by thrown into the lava of the Underworld. The next day, which was Yharim's twelfth birthday, he and his mother were dragged out of their home by a pair of royal guards, the latter being beaten unconscious as she tried to resist. Ignalius was forced to watch the other two burn in lava as punishment, but had lost too much of his mind at that point to care, so he was chucked in as well. As Yharim's flesh burned away in the lava, the dragon egg he had taken the precaution of bringing with him hatched into a baby dragon(yharon), which quickly matured from the heat of the surrounding lava, and carried the mortally wounded young Yharim to safe
