Dränsilane and Emeroch’s joint reign was not a pretty one. Taxes were high, starvation was also incredibly common. Plagues would rip through the resident town of Cathrop, while the brothers sat like kings in their own strongholds. Eventually, the people rebelled, not just to save themselves, but also prove that they were not to be stepped on by their leaders. They soon invaded the castles and walled the brothers up in their own rooms, condemned to never emerge alive. Archer Revenge also met doom at the hands of the villagers of Cathrop. When he visited Anne, the people accused him of neglecting their colony and misusing his powers of omnipotence. Regardless of the fact that Archer only commanded an army of thirty, he also had command over a mystical power known as “Darko”. People feared him because of this, but due to the desperation and anger that he caused the villagers, he was unable to stand against their own power. The day Archer Revenge died became known as “The Day of Glory”. While the villagers rioted, Archer Revenge managed to come back to life. How he managed such a feat was unknown, but nevertheless, he returned. People began to panic in Cathrop, since the prospect of vengeance seemed imminent. Attacks on regular citizens began to occur, as other citizens fought over shelter from the imminent attack. It was when a ghost descended from the two castles in the mountains that the people were forced to make peace. The ghost claimed to be that of the then-late Dränsilane, and by using the magic that he possessed, he temporarily paralyzed the movement that was destroying the main town. The townspeople suddenly became more passive.

Reve, after her asking around is approached by a man.
”Hello, do you need something, sir?” she asks.
”Actually, yes. Are you the one who’s asking around if you’re in Ocsania?”
”Why…?”
”You are truly?! Oh happy days! Please, come with me!”
The Isga brothers weren’t always evil. According to an obscure legend, there was once a horrible, horrible winter that struck. The Isga brothers, along with the King, Queen, and their sisters were in the castle. Suddenly, the guards suddenly dropped dead to what was assumed to be some sort of psychic power. Three demons then advanced into the throne room. They were Arc-Demai. However, the King, the Queen, and the two brothers escaped into a secret passage near one of the columns in the throne room, leaving the three sisters behind. According to the legend, the brothers were cursed for abandoning their sisters in their time of need in order to save their own skins. In fact, the King died exactly seven days after the escape. The Queen would later return and find no sign of her daughters or her step-daughter. The harsh winter would later kill Queen Mathilda, who died without knowing if any of her sons or daughters were still alive.
”If you’re asking around, and, if my calculations are correct, you must be Reve.”
”What if I am?”
”Well, there’s no need to be nervous about it. We’ve been tracking your various movements across time, and we have come to the conclusion that we should entrust a certain item to you.”
”Movements across time?”
”You’ve gone back to this time a total amount of 513 times if I remember correctly…”
Reve suddenly remembered. Her dream self had mentioned something to that extent.
”We need you to help us with a certain issue that has happened in Rasoe. Since you and Tereban are experienced, we’d like you to aid us.”
”Sir, Tereban’s dead.”
The man appeared to be shocked.
”Are you… Are you serious…? We’ve… we are no more then.”
He sat down, as if he was trying to grasp the gravity of the situation. Tereban seemed to be of a large amount of importance to this man.
”What’s going on? Who are you…?
”Reve… I mean, whoever you are, I really can’t explain. We may be being watched. In any case, I need you to help a party of men defend a town from an unknown beast. Here, take this sword I was going to entrust to you. It will hopefully aid you on your journey.”

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I love the beautiful sounds of this album but I don’t have a favorite song. I have a favorite title, it’s called “I Am An Idol, But You Can Call Me The Pope”.. p.s- The Pope Smokes Dope! Dionysus Virus
C. Diab describes “Exit Rumination” as “a sonic exorcism,” and its dark, swelling songs are equal parts catharsis and tension. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2018
