Zintar Mortalis, a life of death | Steem Monsters Rare Card Fantasy Story Contest!

The life of Zintar Mortalis, unlike many people think, was not always dark and gloomy. Behind this mysterious character there was a child full of life and joy, with a family that loved him every day.

His father was a man of literature, a university professor, known for his great works of superheroes. Her mother was a housewife, she didn't need to work because the sales of her husband's works were good enough to live her whole life without work.

The young Zintar learned a bit from both of them, in a short time he learned that loyalty to those you love is the most important thing, but occasionally hatred and pain can give you the impulse you need to do something.

In the school there were rumors of people who received supernatural powers from very peculiar lightning, one had the power to control Fire, another controlled Earth, another controlled Water and even one controlled Life. All this seemed to be taken from the movies, but they were rumors, few believed them.

The Mortalis family decided one day to go for a walk to the coast, they lived some miles away so they had to leave early to enjoy the day. Two hours later they began to see the beach in the distance, but the streets were strangely lonely, and the beach was with few people, something was not right.

The clouds ceased to be white, the sun hid among them, the atmosphere wasn't for a day at the beach, it was to be in bed all day sleeping, or that's what Zintar thought.

His parents decided to stop to buy some food, they were starving after spending two hours on the road, and they stopped in a cafeteria and left Zintar sleeping in the car. Zintar wakes up suddenly, a strange noise drove him away from his sleep, he was nervous when he realized he was alone in the car, his parents had left. He got out of the car and looked around him, people were running, scared and seeing a small cafeteria behind them, something serious had happened.

Ambulances and police made presence in the place, everything was very confusing. Soon the paramedics came out with three stretchers, in one of them was a man of shady aspect, full of blood, apparently they opened his head with some object. Then the other two stretchers came out, Zintar could not believe what he saw, on those two stretchers were his parents, full of blood, lifeless, and killed by multiple wounds with a knife.

Zintar didn't know what to do, he ran away from the scene with all his strength, he crossed the streets without a clear path, he only wanted to escape from that reality, hoping that he was still sleeping and everything was a nightmare, but, unfortunately, it wasn't like that.

That night everything was different, Zintar didn't know what to do, he only walked in circles, sometimes he covered himself with boxes of cardboard from the rain, and he would spend the night in the street. When he finally got to sleep, the storm got worse, the lightning fell around him, and he was very scared, there was nothing he could do, he just waited for everything to happen.

The lightning strikes more and more frequently, until one of them strikes him. Zintar never knew because he was asleep, but that ray completely changed his life.

When he awoke he felt strange, the things around him floated magically, when he moved his hand he dragged everything with it, he had a dark aura around him, he felt the hatred he was feeling spread all over his body.

Zintar returned to the cafeteria where his parents were murdered, there were two policemen talking about what happened the night before. Two thieves were discovered by a couple, everything ended badly for them, one of the thieves managed to escape from the site and the other died. They showed a photo of the thieves, pointing to the one who had escaped and left. Zintar saw the photo and felt how everything made sense, the powers he had were given to avenge his parents.

From that day on he developed his powers to do well, to do justice for all innocents who fall into the hands of evil, Zintar Mortalis became the death that avenges life, became a shadow.
