It started about 300 years ago - deep underground, in the caves of what we know today as the Czech Republic, a tribe of Lotus Dwellers was growing. It started with two reptilians, a male and a female, who had been ran out of town by an angry mob for being "monsters". They wanted to live in peace with the humans, but the humans refused. So, they had decided to live by themselves, and prosper in the safety of the underground caves. Over time, their population grew - by the end of the year, she had birthed over 850 males and females; they had built their own civilization. One of their offspring was special, however - his name was Pán.
Pán always showed courage and strength. He was never the one to hide or whine - he was that one special boy who wanted to go outside and explore the wonders of the world. No matter how much he pleaded for freedom to go outside, his parents, the king and queen, would forbid it.
At age 19, Pán picked up archery, and it quickly became his favorite activity. His parents supported this, and for his 21st birthday, he was given a new bow. Pán was elated, but his happiness soon faded. That same day, the humans invaded their village. The humans had rifles and flintlock pistols; all that they had were measly bows and small daggers. They weren't outnumbered, but their experience was so little that the king and queen had no choice but to give in.
They explained to the humans how they were peaceful, but the humans took no chances, and killed them both. The people began fire on the others, but soon after, one of the humans fell over with a stone arrow in the dead center of his forehead. Pán approached the people, and aimed another arrow at the person who shot his father. The humans knew if they shot, he would let go of the arrow. So they left, unsatisfied.
Pán gathered up the citizens of their cave, filled with flaming rage. He ordered that an army would be developed, and they would not only capture the lives of the humans of the town above, but capture the lives of any humans they saw. He explained to his reptilian bretheren that they wouldn't leave in peace until the enemy force was eliminated. He finished his speech by stating that their breed would grow and take over the country, and all the land they could see. The dwellers cheered, and began sharpening their weapons.
