Darkshade rolls his eyes atop the battlements.
\"Even worse, now they incite a revolution!\"
Darkshade stands, and hurries along the battlements until he drops down to the outer wall of Hydlaa.
Scampering along, he finally comes to rest where the rest of the plaza can hear him
Standing, he shouts out across the plaza.
\"People of Hydlaa! Do not be deceived! Anarchy will not solve your problems!\"
Darkshade gestures with his hand.
\"Regardless if you all refuse to vote, it makes it that much easier for a tyrant to take control of the city!\"
Darkshade listens to the silence that his voice made, as it reaches across the plaza.
He then cries out again.
\"If you choose no government, then a person could take advantage! No government means no rules, no security, no safety.\"
He points to a mother and child
\"See her there? With her child? It is the law that keeps us safe, keeps people from stealing from her and killing her and her son!\"
Darkshade waits for the cries to die out. But as he does so, he hears a question.
\"What\'s to stop me from doing that to her? Eh?\"
Darkshade stops moving for a second, a grim smile on his face. Then he responds.
\"There are... Repercussions. And me...\"
Darkshade moves into a position of threatening, then relaxes
\"But, if there is a choice between a self-elected tyrant or a choosen leader who can turn our humble city of Hydlaa to a great city, whom whould you chose? For that is what lies before you!\"
He gives a grand gesture, sweeping his hand across the whole city
\"Regardless of what you choose, the one vote that you do not cast, will help a tyrant ascend, turn this city into a haven of torture, pain, and death...\"
Darkshade looks at the crowd, his words soft, the crowd in anticipation of his words
\"But keep an eye out... Let no one threaten you, or bribe you into changing your vote. It is those that will ultmately harm you. Hydlaa\'s fate rests on your shoulders, citizens of Hydlaa... Be sure to make the right choice... To be happy.\"
In silence, Darkshade walks on the wall, back towards the battlements. In silence, he climbs the rope he left.
But as he went out of sight, and sat down, he could hear, quite loudly, the cheers and exclamations of people, each incited by his speech.
Darkshade grinned.
\"There\'s one less problem, now.\"
He then shook his head, and continued to listen from above
\"... Even though, I hate politics...\"
