It was said that the mine was the main money-source of a powerful race known as the Mira who excelled in electrical weaving, and were referred to as the offspring of lightning spawn. As such they were blessed with powerful lightning powers, and established an empire.
A mine that used to support an entire empire was certainly nothing simple, and no nation had dared to send an expeditionary force into the mines yet.
When Alex heard the news she gathered the 500,000 thunder stones before swiftly dashing off towards the Mines of Miramind where she found the Travelling Lightning Merchant.
"I wish to purchase the [Lightning Spawn Bloodline (Legendary)]" Alex handed a spatial pouch filled with thunder stones to the man.
"Interesting you actually managed to gather the thunder stones, its quite incredible, incredible indeed."
"I assume the reason you seek this bloodline is for the inheritance of the one known as the Lightning Assassin?"
Alex nodded thinking that there was no reason to hide it.
The man nodded, "Before I give you the bloodline allow me to tell you a story about me, and my race."
It was only now that Alex realised that this merchant was in fact a lightning spawn.
The man slowly narrated the story of the lightning spawn who had been created as messengers by the God of Lightning Levelk. They were born from particularly powerful thunderstorms, and were blessed with incredible speed, and strength. However, these traits earned the envy of many other races.
The humans, greedy for power sought the bloodline of these powerful creatures in order to gain strength. The dwarves, greedy to hone their skills sought the core of a lightning spawn in order to forge a powerful weapon. The elves, fearing for their forests sought to slaughter the race because they were known as the embodiment of lightning, and lightning caused many forest fires.
As such these three main races allied with each other, and many other races in order to hunt down these mythical beings. The lightning spawn, with no way to fight back, asked their patron god to bless them with power.
They were blessed with a single individual with divine strength who moved faster than light, and he was supposed to be the saviour of the race.
He grew in strength, and the alliance of races grew weary of him. He gained a reputation for slaughtering key individuals in the alliance, and as such he had an incredibly high bounty.
Eventually the alliance sent out an army to deal with the lightning spawn, but the individual with divine strength appeared slaughtering the allied army which caused the patron gods of the various races to panic.
These gods eventually teamed up to break into the domain of Levelk who was caught completely off guard, and dealt a heavy blow to him, severely weakening the god.
This caused the strength of the lightning spawn, and the one blessed with divine strength to fall dramatically. They lost the war, the entire race getting slaughtered, and with the exception of a few crafty individuals the race known as the lightning spawn has become extinct.
The one blessed with divine strength was known as the Lightning Assassin, and that is my former title.
"I will give you a trial, and if you complete it I will bless you with my legacy in order for my race to regain its former glory."
