[THE FOLLOWING BROADCAST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FIRST CHURCH OF ZION]
“Brothers and sisters, welcome back to the show! Today, I’ve got a tale that’ll knock your socks off. It’s about a man who’s… Well, he’s Nobody.”
“ But first, let’s bring in our friend and faithful follower, Johnny! Come on up here, Johnny.”
[A man steps out of the front row and takes a seat on stage opposite Zion’s Child looking somewhat perplexed.]
“ Well, howdy, preacher! Who’s this fella you’re talking about?”
“Johnny, it’s a real humdinger. This fella, Harry, he’s known as Nobody.”
“Wait… So is he Harry, or is he Nobody?”
“You’re catchin’ on quick, Johnny! He’s Harry, but in the world of Arcadia’s underbelly, he’s Nobody. See, he was the best problem-solver Zeus had.”
“Hold on a minute… Are we talking about Zeus, like in the myths? Lightning bolts and all?”
“Not quite, Johnny. This Zeus runs the show. No lightnin’ bolts, but plenty of thunder if you catch my drift.”
“And if Harry was the best, what made him Nobody?”
“Because, Johnny, when you’re so good that people whisper your name in fear, sometimes it’s better to be Nobody. Keeps the element of surprise.”
“So, Harry did all the dirty work, and everyone called him Nobody to keep him on the down low?”
“ Exactly that! But then Harry wanted out. He wanted a quiet life. Zeus wasn’t happy, so he sent Ares and fifteen of his best men after him.”
“ Whoa, preacher… Ares, too? This is sounding like Greek folklore again.”
“I know it’s a lot to take in, Johnny, but stay with me… Ares is Zeus’ top enforcer, not a god. So, Ares and his crew went after Harry. But Harry, being Nobody, fought back.”
“Hard.”
“Only Ares returned, draggin’ a half-dead Harry.”
“So, let me get this straight… Harry is Nobody, fought fifteen guys, and only Ares made it back?”
“ Bingo, Johnny! Then Zeus, instead of finishin’ him off, puts Harry on Deathrow, thinkin’ maybe Harry will see reason after a few years.”
“ And I’m guessing he didn’t, right?”
“Nope! Harry survived, and now he’s out. And everyone in Arcadia is scared out of their wits because Nobody knows what Harry’s gonna do next.”
“Wait… Nobody knows, or Harry knows?”
“Both, Johnny! Nobody knows because Harry is Nobody, and only he knows what he’s plannin’.”
“Preacher, you’re spinning my head in circles… So, Nobody is the most dangerous man in Arcadia, and now he’s back with a vengeance?”
“Right again, Johnny! Harry, aka Nobody, is back. The question is, will he let bygones be bygones, or will he see the cracks in Zeus’ power and light the match for The Uprising?”
“Man, you were right, preacher… This is a humdinger indeed. So, in the end, it’s all up to Nobody?”
“Bingo again, Johnny! And remember that in a world where fear is a weapon and trust is rare, bein’ Nobody makes you the most powerful man of all. So keep your eyes peeled and your ears open – ‘cause the saga of Nobody is just heatin’ up!”
“ Well, preacher, I guess we’ll all have to watch out for Nobody…”
“And that’s the gospel truth!”
