I have been down in the darkest corners of Arcadia before, forced to nearly break my back to help things run smoothly for people in upper levels. I’ll never forget that time, because I wasn’t alone. Standing beside me were three men, all forced to the same excruciating labor with the hope of eventual freedom.
It was a sweet taste that eluded our tongue for far too long, we are practically starving to get out of there…so, we went to work. We each had our tasks to fulfill, our roles to play in getting things back into their right and proper condition. Time went on, and things seemed to go just fine…until one of us went missing.
If you know ol’ Colt Ramsey by now, you know what happened next…I had an itch for the truth, and I needed to scratch it. Something was horribly wrong, and with no one else on that level I knew what that meant…there was a traitor among us.
I kept a close eye on the operation, eager to find the suspect before the rest of our gang was taken out. It was a power outage that eventually helped me find the culprit, as the man noticed my snooping and charged at me with a knife in the darkness.
What he didn’t count on, however, was that I would not need an emergency meeting to put an end to his treachery…because the lights flickered back on, revealing his intentions before we handled the situation appropriately.
I look at the Olympians of OSW, and I see some dark people indeed…but the vast majority of them make their intentions clear, out in the open. Then there’s the Yellow Python, the sole survivor of an all-out attack against his Kingdom…but what lurks inside that helmet? What secrets do you hide from the rest of us?
If you ask me, I see a man trying to hide his dark, dark past. A man so overcome by the pressure of trying to protect Arcadia, that he went rogue…a traitor to his people, and a threat to the rest of us. Slithering around until the lights go out, so he can strike first and strike fast.
There’s nowhere for you to slither away now, Python…the word’s out, and I’m calling you out as suspect. Your every move will be called into question, and your hiding will prove to be your downfall. An emergency meeting won’t be needed here, we can practically see you bearing your fangs at us…and we will take you out.
Expelling the traitor among us, sending him out to wander away in shame for what he’s done as we go about handling our business. Because the truth is right there in plain sight, Python…you’re not like the rest of us, and that makes you a problem.
A problem that needs to be solved.
The people of Arcadia need to be kept safe from the likes of you, Yellow Python…and I’ve got to give the people what they want.
