In the next moment, Midas started telling Gwen about the Hidden Order, a terrifying group of people who were ever vigilant, ever watchful, ever present, and almost all powerful in the world right now.
Unbelievably, the story started over 2000 years ago.
Circa 0 AD. An odd group of people found themselves congregated in a secret underground bunker on an island off the coast of the Roman Empire.
If one was in there, they would have found themselves incredibly impressed with the lineup. There were Asians, Caucasians, Africans, as well as Arabs in that room, something practically impossible back then due to the distance and the socio-political differences between these people.
And yet, that wasn't all that made them special. If their origins were unique, then their professions and power were even more impressive. There were senators and king's messengers, philosophers and scientists, rich merchants and even wealthy pirates.
