Congrats to TwinkleKitKat for FTF, the storm to get it!


This is the story of a great battle that would change the course of history. One army, led by General By-Tor amassed in the North, and numbered 2,112 strong. In their minds, if they loyally followed their mighty general, and showed grace under pressure, they had no chance of defeat. They were certain that their enemies would soon feel the caress of steel, and their castles would lie conquered. The colors in the hall would have to be changed, and new subjects would have to say a farewell to kings as a cyclone of moving pictures took place, removing the paintings of defeated rulers, and replacing them with portraits of the new royal family. All this would usher in a new era, and in a fly by night turnaround, emit permanent waves across the land.

Of course the armies of General Snowdog in the kingdom of the West had a decidedly different idea of what kind of permanent waves would be left on history after this great battle. “A Farewell to Kings” general Snowdog muttered to himself after reading intercepted enemy messages, we shall see… “Rider, I want you to wait till nightfall, and then fly by night to distribute these stolen enemy signals to all my commanders.” “Although our army numbers less than 2,112, these captured battle plans will turn the tides, allowing us to leave our own permanent waves on history.” The general was sure that with superior strategic planning, surely his royal master would soon rule over both hemispheres.

A few days later the armies finally met, and as you can imagine, a fierce round of battle ensued, at the negotiating table, where both generals sipped cocoa and came to a peaceful solution to their dispute, which included a resolution to go caching together in a cultural exchange for better future relations.
