Crying War
PROLOGUE
The news stand was alive with the sounds of people hurrying to get the day's paper. It was a big day for everyone and the newspaper was the only source of getting the information they needed. People argued and fought, pushed and shoved, cut and sneaked to get in front of the stand and get one of the limited copies of the paper. No one realized how big of a deal the 'event' they were seeking out was, nor were they prepared from the distraught it would bring on them. It was one of those things where no one understood it at the moment and it would take them a while to figure it out. All they knew now was that it was a big deal and they needed to find out what it was. What they didn't know was exactly how big of a deal it was.
Not a single one of them.

A young man walked into his home, handing a paper to his wife as he walked into the door. Her eyes skimmed over the front page, widening as they continued on.
"We're in a war?" Her voice quivered with fright.
"Yes, a war. Read the paper farther and you'll know why."
The room silenced again as she read further down, "They tried to attack us? Destiny Kingdom tried to attack us?! I always thought we were such great allies with them!"
"As did I." The young man spoke, sitting down beside her and taking a look at the paper, "They have always been one of the greatest allies in the history of Twilight Kingdom to ever exist. In fact, I don't think there has been a time where we haven't been allies!"
"Dad?" A boy no older then ten whispered, stepping into the room, "We're in war?"
The young man, the father, motioned for him to sit down next to him, "Yes, we're in a war."
"Will it be a long war?"
"Hopefully not. Maybe this is all a big misunderstanding. Maybe...we won't go into war at all; everything will be sorted out."
"And if it isn't?" the boy asked, resting his head on his mom's shoulder, "...and if it isn't sorted out?"
"It will be Sweetie." She comforted, running her fingers through his spiky blonde hair, "Don't worry about it."
"But what if it isn't?"
"Then we'll hope for the best. Nothing good comes from war."
"Why?"
"Once a war happens, the fate of the whole world changes."
"How?"
"Because someone always dies. When one person dies, the rest of the world lives their whole lives one person short."

It's a romance for now
but I might change it to tragedy later on
depends on how things work out
review! Tell me what you think!
Not sure whether or not I'm gonna keep it!
A/N 2: Ok so um...the high school fic that won by popular demand from a vote taken in Insanity is on my OTHER account which is being co-written with White Simplicity! So make sure you go check it out! I know I said that it would be Action/Adventure/Fantasy...but there aren't many war fics out there so I thought I'd give it a shot! (no pun intended)
PLEASE REVIEW!
