Qui veut devenir président ? L'histoire raconte comment des gens peuvent tenter de renverser un dictateur d'une manière plutôt inhabituelle et non conventionnelle. Après tout, toute idée se manifeste à un certain moment qui lui est destiné. Les idées – dont le moment est venu – ont un pouvoir énorme. Les gens connaissent et utilisent la magie depuis des temps immémoriaux. Tous les rituels magiques reposent sur des forces surnaturelles, immatérielles, incompréhensibles et donc non encore reconnues par la science. Les phénomènes et capacités magiques et paranormaux ont beaucoup en commun, car ils utilisent des forces et des facteurs qui ne peuvent être expliqués scientifiquement. Tous les êtres vivants et les personnes ne sont pas de simples corps matériels. Il y a en eux quelque chose d’autre que la matière, et ils sont donc capables de percevoir ce qui se trouve au-delà du monde physique. Presque toujours, pour que quelque chose de frais, de nouveau et de meilleur apparaisse, l'ancien pourri doit être détruit et brûlé. Le feu est un symbole de changement, de transformation et de renaissance. L’élément Feu fonctionne au centre de toutes choses : tout en est issu et tout y reviendra.
