War is an unforgettable thing that once you were in, you can never leave behind. War brings death and destruction. War makes and shapes people for the worst in life. It is death on a massive scale, and Nepeta knew this all too well. She knew what war would make her, but she claimed that she had to do it. Too many of her friends where taking sides in this war, and she didn't know which side she would take. This isn't the usual war of two countries, Alternia didn't have countries. It was the war that has been delayed for so long, the war that the lowbloods tried two times before to force. The war against the highbloods.
Nepeta is alone in her cave, reading over what Equius sent her. It read: D - Nepeta, please do not leave your cave. The lowb100ds are starting to attack the highb100ds. Please stay in your cave Nepeta, I will come and get you.
She waits in her cave with her lusus, wondering why the lowbloods would suddenly attach the highbloods. As she ponders around that thought, footsteps can be heard going towards the entrance of the cave. Nepeta hears the footsteps and gets up to welcome Equius, but the person isn't Equius, its Karkat.
Reluctantly, Nepeta goes over to Karkat, wondering what he is doing there.
"Nepeta, you have to come with me," says Karkat, as Nepeta notices some blood on him, blood that usually belongs to trolls higher on the hemospectrum.
"Karkitty, why do you have blood on you?" asks Nepeta, looking at the blue and purple blood on him.
"It's time Nepeta, it's what I've been telling you about," says Karkat, a sickle in each of his hands.
"You mean it's time for all the highbloods to die?" Nepeta looks at Karkat's face, fear slowly growing in her.
"Yes Nepeta, it's time for the tyrant to fall and for the lowbloods to get what they are supposed to be," says Karkat, as fighting breaks out only yards from Nepeta's cave.
"I don't know Karkat, I'll have to see what Equius says," says Nepeta, really wanting Equius to be here.
"Equius is highblood! He's the enemy!" Karkat begins to yell, anger forming in him like how things used to, before he became so obsessed with bringing the highbloods down. Nepeta was going to speak when the familiar face of her moirail appears behind Karkat.
