"Prince Asper, the oldest son of King Thanos. Not much is known about him by the public and he tends to be a mysterious figure. But if you truly desire to know about this young soul, I can tell you what I know...for a price."
I quickly shove a paper across the table with my wishes written on them.
"Good, you agree to my terms then. Asper, also known as The Viper among the streets is rather complex. He is brave but cautious, smart but reckless, cold but selfless. The young plumie is greatly opposed to his fathers leadership, unbeknownst to most. He despises Thanos, so much that he has started a small revolution against them. There is no name for the rebellion or its soldiers. Its barely handful of citizens, but it contains some of the smartest, strongest and fastest alive. Asp is the leader of this small gang and he's worked incredibly hard trying to build a plan against his father. It's still in the works as far as I know, but back to the real subject.
Asper is many things like I said before, but if I could describe him in one word it would be 'Kind'. There is not a single evil bone in his body, and while he may have retained his fathers scary appearance it does not reflect his personality. I've seen him in the streets before, hidden behind a large cloak and handing out food and money to the children, the poor and the beggars. Giving comfort to those alone and sheltering those left out in the cold. Generosity is not a shade well associated with the Crown Prince, but it is with Viper. His alter ego is the real him. But the Crown Prince is a cold and calculating Plume. This version is a copy of his father in almost every way, except for the single sparing fact that the Prince has not killed anyone.
You asked me who Asper is and that is my answer. He is not one person but two. The Prince and The Viper. Both figures are complete opposites and enemies of each other. But its quite a funny joke, to me at least. Because these mortal enemies, are found in the same body of one Plume."

"Oh so now you desire to know more about our mysterious leader? Well sit back down, I'm in the mood to tell a story. Asper was born on June 19th to the King and Queen of our nation. He is their first son and only two years older than their second. The brothers were raised with high expectations and hard rules. Their mother although was a kind plumie and a loving, guiding hand. Their father was the darker half , a stern and unforgiving plumie but he still loved his kit. They were a happy family for a while, but when Asper got older he became more opinionated. He and his father often fought over how to rule the country or even small things like what to serve for dinner. They butted heads frequently and their father-son bond withered.
He was about seventeen years old when he started the rebellion. Yes, shocking isn't it? He was just a kit who found himself in a rowdy street. He was cloaked and looking for someone who would support his ideas. And he found me, an ear willing to listen to his stories of revolution. He seemed delusional at the time, but when he pulled off his hood I realized that this was our chance to change the hideous way of our kingdom. No more would my friends and family starve while the king feasted.
And so began our journey. A short one at that. We began recruiting people for our cause, soldiers, merchants, lords, and anyone who was willing to make an alliance. Most still don't know who the Viper is but they follow him regardless. For two years Asper has been slowly sneaking weapons and resources to his apartment in the city. He's been training our followers to fight and gathering information from the king himself.
The only time we risked exposure to the King was about two months ago. Asper decided to recruit his brother to the cause, thinking he would join without a thought. I did not believe this but he would not hear reason. When he asked his brother to join, his brother refused. The young prince almost turned Asper in, but the gods were on our side apparently. His brother died from an illness only weeks later before he could rat out Asper. Most of us were thankful that we did not get exposed, but Asper took it harshly. He still blames himself for his brothers death and it has taken a toll on his ability to lead. But we do not fear, Asper is a good leader he will get through this and return to helping us overthrow the King.
Our only problem? Asper has no desire to lead. None of us do. We must now find a person willing to uptake our monarchy or try and change Aspers mind on the subject. But for now we are not going to worry, we still have a war to win. We can't be making political decisions, not yet. Our freedom does come with a price just as my story does. But the question is, are we willing to pay for it?"

“Ah you still wish to know more about our beloved Prince? Well since you’ve been such a nice audience I suppose I could tell you of the time I first met Asper.
It was a cold and rainy day and the streets were quiet as everyone hid in their homes. Well almost everyone, the Kings taxes had run quite a few of us bankrupt. I was part of that unlucky group, left to fend for myself without a roof over my head. Back then Asper hadn’t even though of starting a rebellion, he was just a young Plumie fleeing his father.
He had come into the city after a dispute between him and the King. It was the first time he had ventured into the town, or at least that’s what I was told. I remember noticing him walking down the streets and thought it a little odd that someone who could dress in such fine clothing, was out walking in the downpour. But I did not dare approach him. He approached me.
He gave me a few coins and I thanked him. That should have been our whole exchange but I was reckless back then. I recognized him instantly under that hood and stopped him from walking away. We got into a discussion about his current whereabouts and his father. That was when I discovered his hate about what King Thanos was doing to us. He was so passionate about it, his eyes were glowing and his teeth were baring at me as he spoke. He was a sight to see, I wish I could show you what he looked like. But anyways, we got to talking and I was able to convince him to come back for a second visit.
We departed ways a few hours later after talking about all the injustices in our society. I was the one who waved off the Prince when he began his journey back home. And then I returned to the city where I rented an apartment with my newly found money. I remember sitting down on the hard bed and thinking
‘I just met the Crown Prince of Shadowlands. The Prince, a kit who has lived his whole life being pampered and healthy, thought about us unfortunate souls. And he wanted…wants to help us. This is insane!’
But it was real because after one week , he returned and this time he came with two soldiers who supported his cause. We all ate dinner together as he proposed his idea for a revolution. It wasn’t hard to get swept up in his stories of glory and revenge. I quickly joined his rebellion and here I am today, fighting in a war we can’t possibly win. But miracles happen I suppose.
You asked me to tell you about our Crown Prince and our Last Hope. I have delivered thrice more my side of the deal. And now it is time for you to pay up. Here is the paper, just sign your name here.
Oh and rookie?
Welcome to the Rebellion.”
