[h2]Somewhere out in the world.... [/h2]

A group of bandits can be seen destroying a small town, their leader a rather large and intimidating Tyro.

"Aight boys! Let show the world what happens to fuckin deadbeats that don't pay their [i]protection[/i] on time!!!" the leader exclaimed,  "KILL ALL THE MEN!!! Heheheh, the women and children have their... [i]uses[/i]"

Mason awoke with a start, a book stuck to his face as he violently sat up.   He had no idea what had happened, or why there were so many people he didn't know crowding the library, with a pink-winged seraphim vouching for Dremmick over some unknown quarrel. As soon as the guards left, Mason looked around the room with a confused expression.
