Well, first, my way was blocked by the evil sorcerer Malphazar.
He killed my parents, right in front of me, and sent me to live in the salt mines of Lorien.
But eventually, I grew strong, mostly by hoarding salt, which my species can hoard in a special salt duct behind our spleen. When the time was right, I escaped the prison, and confronted Malphazar. At the critical moment, I shot forth my horde of salt, directly into the evil mage's bloodstream, causing him to die of high blood pressure!
Then, you know, I went outside and moved my car into the garage.
