| 1 | ->''This story begins every hundred years, and it always begins the same way -- with the legend awakening. [...] Every hundred years, they try to overtake our world, and we always ''think'' we've destroyed them. The legend also has it that every hundred years... we're wrong.'' |

| 4 | ->Thus throughout history a struggle which is the same in its main outlines recurs over and over again. For long periods [[BigBad the High]] seem to be securely in power, but sooner or later there always comes a moment when they lose either their belief in themselves or their capacity to govern efficiently, or both. They are then overthrown by [[TheStarscream the Middle]], who enlist [[WorkingClassHero the Low]] on their side [[StagedPopulistUprising by pretending to them that they are fighting for liberty and justice]]. As soon as they have reached their objective, [[FullCircleRevolution the Middle thrust the Low back into their old position of servitude, and themselves become the High]]. Presently a new Middle group splits off from one of the other groups, or from both of them, [[HereWeGoAgain and the struggle begins over again]]. |
