"A strange gift"
Ting always used to be a troll who stood protective over his brethren. During the Zalazane war he stood bravely fought till the last sanity troll returned to safety. After this war, he disappeared mysteriously. Why? None of his brethren knew.
Ting always had a strong heart. So he stood out there in that war. It was quiet foggy. Surprise attacks were coming from all sides. With a glorious banner of the Darkspear on his back, he was slashing his way through those insane trolls. A few off his brethren said it was a lost cause, but Ting would not listen. He decided to stay till he was alone, so his brethren took off to safety. Because of his certain stubborn talent he got hit with a mace on his head by one of Zalazane's minions. He was about to die and accept his faith. But suddenly arrows were rushing right in the head of his enemies. At this time Ting passed out.
As Ting starts to get back by his conscious he finds himself tied up on a tree. He stared out in front of him as he saw he was alone. He thought he was captured by one of Zalazane's minions. But then he hears a deep voice in his back say to him: “Worry not, Ting.†He looks confused, as he immediately asks: “Who are ya?â€Â. A sudden cold breeze shivers up from his back… “I am, Zul'Anji, a Shadow Hunterâ€Â. Zul'Anji walks right in front of Ting, inspecting him closely. Zul'Anji whispers something in his ear. “Are you willing to trust me?†Ting simply nods as Zul'Anji grabs a dagger and stabs Ting in his chest. Ting cringes in pain as he looks confused to the Shadow Hunter. He simply replies “save your strength, the worst is yet to comeâ€Â. The blood dripping from his wounds he puts in a voodoo doll. Afterwards he puts the doll in a boiling cauldron. Ting feels his body boiling inside of him. His heart rate is ticking enormous fast. This is one of the worst pains he has ever felt, he tries to get loose from the tree as he gives the Shadow Hunter a furious look of anger, but suddenly, he passes out again.
The next morning he wakes up hearing the noises off the sea breeze washing along the shores. He feels very different inside of him. He feels like he has been reborn. Slightly he starts to open his eyes, as the fel light shines into his eyes causing him a blur vision. A troll hand reaches his hand as he helps Ting up and tells him:“Sleepy head, time to wake up.†Zul'Anji points towards the ancient troll temple in front of him. “Go inside, there is someone who wants to speak you.†Ting looks rather confused as he decided to walk inside the temple.
Ting stares out in front of him, looking at the wall painting of the temple. As he recognizes Samedi in the paintings. Standing near the altar, he looks around carefully on his guard. As he hears a familiar voice coming right in front of him. A foggy ghost appears as he notices it is his very own father. Ting gets a little tear in his eyes, because he now knew his father was death. His father comforted him. “my age had come, son. Fear not, listen to Zul'Anji he has great gifts to offer ya, make your father proud.†Ting obeyed his father and decided he would listen to Zul'Anji like he was his own father. He returned to Zul'Anji as he was waiting for him outside of the temple. Ting smiled towards him, as a token of appreciation. Afterwards Zul'Anji decided to teach him to pray to Samedi and make a Sapta that allows him to commune with the death. This is how Ting becomes a Shadow Scout.
