Description
A government switch, a rebellion, a corrupt king… a transformation. The blacks and whites have been living amongst each other for an entire century, but as the racist movements and officals have become more intense, the mindset of the populace has shifted. Auridius is a family man, a patriot, and a fighter for peace. He has been watching all the political developments in horror, dreading the day that everything will go wrong. When an evil dictator takes over and enforces absurd laws, it is up to this courageous man to keep his family from harm and lead the way to a new way of thinking among the general population.
