## Background

##### Cloud's Beginnings

Born and raised in a small Tabaxi village somewhere in the Purple Ridge Mountains, Clouded Valley was always seen with his best friend Purple Raincloud. They were nearly inseparable, together they explored all the forests and mountains surrounding the village. Like beside Raincloud was perfect. Once they were both 12, they each took part in the tribe’s coming of age ceremony, where the fires would determine the profession each young Tabaxi would pursue for the village. The fires reveled a bow and arrow for Cloud and for Rain a new symbol nobody had seen before: a ship. Mystery now surrounded Rain. This scared Cloud.

Some time passed after the rituals. Cloud refined his skills with his bow and arrow, while Rain learned to wield several different blades. Together they evolved the forests they grew up in from playgrounds to training grounds. They honed their skills by challenging each other to complete absurd and difficult tasks: who can catch the most falling leaves with a single arrow/dagger, how fast can they scale the highest trees without stopping, etc. With a mix of respect and envy Cloud noted with how much ease Rain would complete any of the tasks. She always seemed to be just a step ahead of him.

##### No More Rain

One day, that started out normal, there was a visitor in the village. The Purple Valley Tribe was not used to visitors, the simple presence of this outsider was enough to cause a stir. The villager arrived introducing himself as a Garex and tell them he was simply a traveler exploring the Mountains. He would offer some entertainment as a part of payment for him to simply stay within the village limits. The tribe elders decided it was fine, but kept and eye on any suspicious activity. Garex was humbled and honored. He promised to perform his routine at sundown. The town was visibly excited.

Come sundown every tabaxi in the tribe was huddled around Garex and the large campfire that illuminated him. Garex captured the hearts of the Tabaxi with tales of distant lands. Cloud had a new idol. After Garex was finished with his performance, Cloud immediately went up to him practically begging for more stories. Garex just told him he was out of stories, if Cloud wanted more stories he would have to go beyond the village and search for more stories. Cloud then offered to show Garex the neighboring forests and mountains the next day, maybe they could find a story there. Garex took him up on his offer.

The following day both Rain and Cloud took Garex on a tour of the forests, Garex was able to keep up with them as they climbed, swung, and traversed the terrain. Garex was impressed with both of them when they showed him their weapons and their challenges; he was captivated by the skill with which Rain wielded her weapons given her young age.

Another day passed before Garex was ready to leave the village for his next adventure, but before he did so he asked Rain if she wanted to come. He was impressed with her skills and didn’t think they should go to waste just practicing in a forest. He talked about traveling the seas and seeing lands from all over. She was sold and left with Garex. She said her farewell to the tribe and when she came to Cloud, she told him they will see each other one day and when they do they’ll continue their friendly competitions.
