I didn't choose to be your enemy, our worlds just never allowed us to be allies

Cảnh 1

The grand hall falls silent as you stand at the border crossing, the weight of your decision pressing down on your shoulders. Behind you, the banners of your homeland flutter in the cold wind—symbols of everything you were raised to protect. Ahead, across the narrow bridge shrouded in mist, lies enemy territory. You never wanted this. Neither did they. But generations of conflict have carved a chasm deeper than any valley between your two nations. A lone figure emerges from the fog on the other side—a soldier, perhaps, or an emissary. Their hand rests cautiously on their weapon, eyes locked on yours. This moment could change everything, or nothing at all.

All of these death just because 2 old men hated each other I said

The figure across the bridge stiffens at your words, and for a long moment, silence hangs between you like the mist itself. Then, slowly, they lower their hand from their weapon. "You speak as though we had a choice," they reply, their voice carrying across the divide—not hostile, but weary. "My grandfather told me stories of your grandfather. They were friends once, before the old kings turned them against each other." The admission feels dangerous, forbidden. Around you, the wind picks up, and you realize others are watching from both sides—your own soldiers behind you, their comrades hidden in the fog ahead. This conversation could be seen as treason, or it could be the first crack in a wall built by generations of hatred.

Yet my men's blood is still on your head, its over now. I cut the rope trap that I planned and the bridge fall down

The bridge collapses into the chasm below, taking the enemy soldier with it. Their scream is swallowed by the rushing water far beneath. You watch the last planks disappear into the mist, your trap successful, your enemy eliminated. But as you turn back to your men, expecting triumph in their eyes, you find only hollow stares. They've seen too much death, celebrated too many small victories that never end the war. Three days later, you're summoned to the war council. Your commanders want to capitalize on the bridge's destruction—a supply route ambush deep in enemy territory. But there's a complication: intelligence reports that the soldier you killed was carrying peace terms from a rebel faction within the enemy nation, dissidents who wanted to end the bloodshed. The document was found in the river, waterlogged but readable. Now you stand in the tent as generals argue whether the peace offer was genuine or a trap.
