Kala Balik

Ur – the city of despair, The Deathshead, Mother of Slavery is the second city of the Xanathu Empire and as its many nicknames declare this isn't the best of places to be born into – especially not by a mother and a father from the lowest of ranks of slaves. However this is exactly what happened to the boy whom later would be called Kala Balik – "The Perfect Slave".

In Ur – being born with slave parents means that you will also be raised as a slave. Kala Balik was taken from his parents as soon as he was able to walk. He was sent to the Pit to learn the awful trade of a house slave. His masters soon recognized the boys strong spirit and both physical and mental strength. This meant that he was punished harder and more often by his masters. Kala Balik learned how to hide his temper and strength and instead started to obey every order that his masters gave him but a spark of hate had started to burn within him. He became the favourite of the masters while the other slaves hated him for being a time server. This lead to Kala Balik being forced to punish his peers which gave him privileges and after being almost beaten to death Kala Balik was given his own room.

The reputation of the boy started to grew and this was the first time the nickname Kala Balik was used to describe the boy urgent willingness perform every task that his masters gave him.

Due to his practicability Kala Balik was now given the oppotunity to learn how to read and write. By the age of fifteen he was finished with his education and was given to one of the diplomats of Xanathu residing in Ur. The diplomat was feared among the slaves as one of the most gruesome masters but the diplomat soon recognized Kala Baliks ability to abide every word his master spoke and used him to beat up the other slaves.

For every task Kala Balik performed his flames of hatred grew stronger and after being told to punish a pregnant slave he almost lost his temper...
