And so it begins...you can feel it in the air.
The pied pipers of the REW are calling their flocks to battle. The hordes of DHS are assembling their ranks to face their sworn enemy, the swarm known as The Regulators in an all or nothing battle. You can see the signs of the oncoming battle everywhere, hanging thickly within the very air of the REW arena, clutching at the passer-bys, hoping to ensnare more and more into their never ending struggle.
Who holds the advantage? one may wonder. A cursory peek at the two forces assembled gives no clear overwhelming vantage to either of the sides, indeed, the two seem alike, both in number and in skill which makes the battle oh so much more anticipated. Indeed, the two are so much alike that it seems strange that they would fight, however their hunger for ultimate power outweighs any chance of them working together.
Indeed, both sides are driven by the thirst of conquest, both want to dominate the landscape of the REW to come. The hordes of the DHS want to dominate with volence, as in a predator-prey relationship with those in the REW playing the role of the prey. The swarm of the Regulators wants to rule with fear, the fear of submission, of a master-slave relationship rather than a predator-prey. The Regulators want to make everybody bow down to them, to serve them while the DHS only care about filling their insatiable thirst for destruction.
Neither side winning bodes well for REW in the end. If DHS wins, then all in REW shall be ruled by violence. If The Regulators wins, then REW shall wecome their new masters with a newfound fear. Either way, everybody loses...
That is, except neither side fails to see another force within their midst. A force not aligned with either DHS nor with the regulators, a force that does not desire to rule, but rather to change, to alter the landscape permanently. It is not surprising that neither side can see this force, for it is hidden, enshrouded by the darkness of it's very own nature.
But nonetheless, a force with agendas of their own, a force that may not choose to reveal itself until the battle commences and both DHS and Regulators weaken each other in their obsessive, greedy, struggle for control.
DHS and Regulators might as well be wearing blinders, for they are missing someone else in this race, something that when revealed may be too late to deal with.
Regardless, all of this bodes poorly for REW as a whole...
Will anyone, or anything save the REW? Which master will REW be forced to bow to?
