"Hear you now a story of good against evil. An epic that has its beginning and an ending and ends at a beginning. Listen as we speak of the fall of a lord of darkness, and the return of a king of light. Concern yourselves with armies and wizards, phantoms and emperors, cloud-capped towers and bloody fields of horrendous carnage. Consider no less than the cataclysmic transformation of that world of wonder and magic to the world we know now, of Man. What hero, you might ask, is mighty enough to be worthy of such cosmic metamophosis?"
