Prologue
The story begins in the time when the west was young. In the land where the tumble weeds roll and dust storms blow. In the time of the Old West with cowboys and covered wagons. There was a small town named Sherrock that was isolated from the other towns. It was under the control of an ambitious mayor known as Yosemite Sam.
Mayor Sam won the electoral race ten years ago. His opponent was an honest old man. Sam defeated him by telling magnificent lies and bribing voters. Once he was in power, he took absolute control of the town. He didn't keep any of the promises he made on his campaign. The most notable thing that he did was creating his own little army to collect the ridiculous taxes he created. That town militia was unfair and violent when they collected taxes.
The people of the town have tried to get him out of power, but they have failed. With all the money and power that Sam had at his disposal, it makes it difficult for the Freedom Fighters. Many have tried to flee the town but they couldn't because they were left penniless by Sam's taxes, and Sam's army wouldn't let anyone leave until they paid off their debt to Sam.
Businesses haven't been doing well under Sam's rule. Since the taxes were so high, many stores have gone out of business. Very few manage to survive. The only business that does better than the other businesses is the tourist business. But since the town is so isolated, very few tourists pass through here. However, the tourists pay good money when they do come. They spend their money at the inns and saloons and it does help the income, a little.
Many have tried to overthrow the tyrannical mayor, but they all failed (as I've said before). The major reason why was because they lacked resources and support. The mayor would just arrest the Fighters and they were never heard from again. There was only one rebel who hasn't been caught. The mysterious hero has been Sherrock's own Robin Hood. He has fought against Sam's men and got back the money they had taken unfairly. Still, one person wasn't enough to end Sam's rule.
He would need more help…
Ten years after Sam became king, I mean, mayor of Sherrock is when this story takes place. Today a traveling merchant is on his way to Sherrock. Little does he know that he is going to become involved in this conflict, whether he likes it or not!
