It was on the first day in the first month of the second year since Mensa came to Orbis, that the snow struck once more. It again used Rose who are the Swedes of orbis as it's puppet.
The Snow whispered in the ears of Rose's top commanders, it spoke of how they might satiate their lust for profit if they but sacrificed a few peasant farmers & yet how they might also strike down Mensa who was ever a threat to their pig disgusting abuse of the poor.
For Mensa was already weakened from their long wars for the recovery of the Sword of Falcon from the hands of the pirates who flew the black standard of Arghh. And was yet still more weakened from their war with Vanguard whom the Snow had entrapped in it's intricate designs. It spoke also of the profits to be had selling weapons & other goods of war to all those who would be drawn into the bloody war, or so the snow reasoned to the leaders of Rose. Yet they hesitated to go to war for they were fearful of Mensa & so the Snow spoke of their lofty citadels built with the taxes of the poor, & scoffed at the idea that any could ever breach these mighty places.
At last swayed by these words the lords of rose commanded that the people be fed lies & deceit about Dio & Mensa. That all the needs of commerce be set aside & the needs of war be fulfilled. Also they sent word to other peoples held in their sway & that of the Snow.
It was at this time that the sleep of the High Priests & the Apostles was troubled. For not sooner then they closed their eyes would they be beset by dreams of fire, destruction, & the machinations of war. Thus they turned to Dio praying that he might reveal the meaning of these dreams. Not long had their prayer been before a vision came to their minds. The vision showed them many things, things that were, the deceit the Snow perpetrated against Vanguard & Rose. Things that were, the plotting of the generals of Rose, the vast preparations of their campaign. And last it showed them that which was yet passed, the path of the enemy, the places where they might be ambushed, the allies upon which they would call & those who might be called to aid Mensa.
Armed with this knowledge the forces of Dio were soon made ready, as were the forces of other peoples the vision had shown to be true of heart, from the west over the great atlantic ocean came The Syndicate great merchants & people of commerce, from the east came The Knights Radiant warriors of great renown, The Kings Parliament from the north already knowing of snows ways, & last from the far east came a small band of warriors of Roz Wei, a strange people but valiant.
Soon boths sides were readied & marched out to war. As the forces of Rose marched forth from their stronghold, the Snow made a great cackle of laughter not of happiness but of merciless evil, for it knew that Rose could never win but sought to use them to bait the Dioist force from their stronghold where a stronger force might prevail. And as the Snow laughed it took on a form in likeness to the form Dio Brando was want to take when he walked amongst the People, but it was twisted & hideous to look upon for such are all the works of Snow. The Snow climbed onto the highest pinnacle of the highest tower of Rose's fastness & proclaimed itself Bio Drando, Lord of Orbis.
To be continued.
