      Preface

      Rich was the heritage of the time! A land graced with fortune and prosperity, not through the destruction and plunder of the enemy, but through the empowerment of individual freedom, action, and thought. Every single man or woman was born into their own history and not into a class or place. What world is this?

      Recently, the great war brought our forefathers' divine success after they defeated the horrific monarchs, demigods, and justice connivers. Instead of seeking the usual plunder of a victor but peace and future goodwill, the great plan of an American general was ushered into the ravaged and defeated lands. These plans did indeed bring peace, at least to those who wished for it. However, the failed human tyranny of collective justice, with its false promises, using the power of envy and hate, continued to enslave millions to the darkness. The constant vigil to fight for individual freedom from collective thought continues to this very day!

      Even with the collective's infected blanket of darkness draped on human hope, its devastating economic cost, and documented penultimate failure to live, the human sins of envy and hate lurk so deep in the intellectuals' hearts that it proved hard to dissuade. The destiny and definition of lives through entrapment, class, race, and power to anything but freedom.

      The ironic condition of humanity begging for freedom yet righteously succumbing to the proven false lies of the collective. Perhaps enslaved people may have caused such bloodlust, suffering, and agony. However, for a free people to embrace a wanton infliction of pain upon their neighbor is like a fisherman returning her catch as it is too large. The major revolutions for the freedoms and justice of your fellow man have already occurred, once over death some two thousand years hence and over tyranny some two hundred and fifty years!

      Yet within the land, even as so many bloodlines experienced the grace of success, a poorer class developed among the Stolen. The Stolen, darker-skinned people who were found over the ocean over two hundred years hence, were brought back against their will and enslaved for laboring in the field. The Stolen mostly worked to gather a material used for clothing of the day, cotton.

      Ironically, it was the ingenuity of a former slave who created the first mechanism more easily using cotton. The cotton gin brought forth an ever-growing demand for field laborers and an explosion of human trafficking. The working brutality of this inhumanity is called slavery; sadly, in some areas of the world, it continues unabated to this day. As this assault upon the freedom of fellow human beings finally weighed too heavily upon the conscience of a young nation. A spiritual rift between neighbors did grow violent. The Stolen, as a people, were proclaimed emancipated through the blood ritual of half a million lives, called the Civil War.

      The blood ritual of the Civil War is too kind to define its violence and suffering. The whole tragedy of the effort may have, within just years, been prevented. As soon as the Civil War began, inventors created engines that used black liquid oil. These new contraptions would soon power and complete many of the same field tasks as the Stolen. Slavery by demand would have lost need, thereby rendering the properly grieved humanitarian cost too great of a burden for the Southern states to fight. After the Brother's War, the Stolen were to compete for their families' fortunes in a culture that was crafted and vastly different from the land from which they were taken.

      Many of these tribes or clans were successful at adapting and embracing freedom, but many were not. In thought and practice, freedom is a new concept to man and perhaps not even man's natural state. The descendants of the Stolen, who resided to the near north of Fortress Portmore, were struggling mightily to enjoy the good fortunes of the many. A different world was raised before them, and unfortunately, the freedom to prosper did not achieve
