The Old Rule has fallen, which is called the Beast that was carried once, in the past, by its look-alike beast, the red dragon. The dragon carried the Beast on his back in the past and used it to deceive and control the whole world, and to oppress the holy ones of God for an extended 1,260 years. But the transition of time from night to day came, and the dragon was bound and imprisoned, leaving his look-alike beast exposed, weakened, and shattered to many factions opposing each other. Moreover, its authority to rule the world was taken and divided among the people. This gave the rise of a new beast or rule which is from the people, by the people, and for the people. It has two separated leaderships, the power of religion and the power of politics. In this new era, so-called as the times of enlightenment and freedom, Rex was born and will try to experience this freedom, or so he thought, because the new rule has the same spirit like that of the beast and the dragon, the spirit of pride. It will rule in behalf of the beast and will try to deceive all people to worship the symbol of the Old Rule, the image of the Beast. Can Rex be really enlightened and join the others, to resist, stand and persevere till the end? Can he refuse to praise, exalt, and pledge his life to the banner of the Beast?

You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister.

There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations.

Remember this, only love can thaw a frozen heart." Repulsed by his haggard appearance he fled from the sight of the enchantress and back to the castle. Where he confined himself to ruling from the shadows, just like his father. That was the year where winter did not leave. The winds grew stronger, bringing more and more bitter cold air with them. The kingdom grew weak. There was little food and the people were starting to lose hope. Then, one day a letter arrived at every home in the kingdom: there was to be a ball held at the palace. Everyone was invited, and everyone went. The time spent in the palace was grand. That was until one of the guests went missing. A young woman was escorted from the ballroom and was never seen again. Spring returned for a short time, and then winter crashed back down upon the land. And another ball was held. People were skeptical and did not want to attend, but they had no choice. Yet another guest went missing, another woman. The parties continued annually. Everyone in the kingdom was forced to go and every year, another person was escorted away. Most years it was a woman, one year it was a man. It has been six years since the beginning and winter is coming, after yet another short spring. It is time for another masquerade.
