    In the cold village of River Banks, a beautiful girl Meredith, lost her eyesight to the tragedy of war. Her mother clung to a glimmer of hope, of an old folklore that travelled in whispers around the town of a witch who crafted wooden masks, bound with magic so powerful that whoever wore them would see the world in a different light. The tale promised that anyone who was blind would see again, but the stories all warned of a terrible cost and ended with the same eerie words: A mask may be taken but a life must be given.

    1. The Labor Day Run 
     For the Hell’s Angels, the Labor Day Run was their crowning event—an annual spectacle of chaos and hedonism. It was a time for drinking, fighting, unrestrained indulgence, and drugs. The event could attract anywhere from a couple hundred to a thousand bikers, all coming together for a weekend of pure debauchery. It wasn’t uncommon for the festivities to spiral out of control with violence, reckless behavior, and, in some cases, random fornication. 
    2. The Hell's Angels Emblem 
     The Hell’s Angels are instantly recognizable by their iconic emblem: a winged skull wearing a motorcycle helmet. This patch, often sewn onto the back of a sleeveless denim jacket, is a mark of belonging and defiance. Members typically sport long, wild hair and thick beards, embracing a rugged, untamed look. As a statement of both style and practicality, their belts are sometimes made from motorbike chains—useful not only as accessories but also as makeshift weapons when necessary. 
    3. Oakland: The Heart of the Hell's Angels 
     By 1965, Oakland had firmly established itself as the epicenter of the Hell’s Angels, with the city acting as a base for their growing empire. However, tensions were rising when the Diablos, a rival gang, made a move to challenge the Angels. The conflict escalated after a lone Angel was brutally attacked by the Diablos, prompting the Hell’s Angels to take matters into their own hands. In a swift act of retaliation, the Angels hunted down and beat each member of the Diablo gang, ultimately forcing them to disband.

Its narrative course, structure, characters, and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.
