Difficulty:
A long, long time ago, I can still remember how that Rhapsody came to join the Legion. She knew if she had her chance, she could make the Malphas sing and dance, and maybe it would stop killing her fans. But then she ran into Slither, who poisoned her fans there and hither, she could no longer bear it, so she did so swear it. She pledged her life to the Legion cause, took Jeraziah as her boss, who consoled Rhapsody for her loss, and vowed to be at her side.
