Zhakar, the Living Swarm

Lore Zhakar was once a member of an ancient mystical tribe that lost its lands due to the expanding of larger nations. His tribe was relatively peaceful, only fighting when necessary. To escape the wars of other nations losing their lands they were moved closer and closer to the dangerous Komungo jungle. To protect themselves from the dangers of the jungle they had developed a close relationship with the insects. One day scientists found Zhakar while we was hunting for food and were intrigued by his connections to these oversized insects. He was interested in the weird strangers but stayed weary of them. The scientist wanted to study the insects and followed him to his village in secret. They had brought goons and raided the village capturing many of the insects and his people using their strange technology. The villagers tried to defend themselves and their insects and in the struggle one of the devices malfunctioned causing a fire. The fire and fighting caused to insects to flee deep into the jungle and the scientists left with their samples. In less than a week the dangers of the jungle preyed upon what was left of his village till only he was left. He was fleeing from a beast beaten and bloodied till he happened upon a giant insect nest and he realize the pursuing beasts would not come near and dragged himself to the nest. He was breathing heavily head hanging down in exhaustion only looking up when he realized suddenly the day turned to night he looked up and only saw a humming shroud of darkness which descended upon him. Zhakar lost himself laughing in his fury blaming outsiders for all his tribes’ misfortunes. His magic power exploded and after moments Zhakar’s laughing disappeared. From when his body was the shroud of insects parted and out stepped an insectoid being standing tall with pride. Zhakar had been transformed but in this state his mind had been lost somewhere within the minds of millions of insects. His mind became a hive mind with his anger serving as the leader. Zhakar walked forward the swarm reducing all flora and fauna in his path to nothing but dirt and rock. When he arrived at the exit of the jungle he outstretched his arm saying, “No longer will we be stepped upon, we shall retake all that is rightfully ours”. The skies above him was the blocked out by a black, humming shroud
