I Am Torchbearer

[Spoken: Josh Dun]

He is trapped. Stuck in a cycle he has not yet been able to break. But I believe that this is the last time. It has to be.

Dema. A circular cement city in the lower portion of an otherwise wild and green continent, Trench. Every single one of us were citizens of Dema once. But we escaped, most of us narrowly avoiding Nico and his ever watchful bishops. They govern the city with a seizing power and this hijacked religion, one feeding the other.

It keeps their citizens in a cycle, in shackles. We see that now from the outside looking in, but as Banditos, we are banished. Forced to stay out, which we do. Well... most of the time.

Why go back in? Yeah I'm asked that a lot. We go back in for him, for Clancy. Somehow, he's an exception to their rule, and this time he trusts us. We need him to break the cycle. We've taught him our colors, he has the power to fight, and we have the plan in place.

I am Torchbearer, and I will not give up on him.

[Spoken: Nico]

Hello Clancy.
