    A man by the name of John O'Callaghan was mowing hay in a field and was stooped down edging his scythe, and when he rose up he saw legions of the Good People around him.

If we win the battle he will live, but if we lose he will be dead to-morrow morning. The people who are fighting against us are the Ultonians"
