A world like theirs, but ruled by an evil tyrant! A tyrant who intends on expanding their empire. And for Sherlock Holmes and his friends, it is a day of tragedy! Holmes vanishes without a trace!

The story represents just one of perhaps thousands of deadly encounters that reflect the reality of battle.
