A Reason for War
There they stand! Rows of the bravest men of their country waiting for a sign. Their eyes are locked upon their adversaries. A mere wasteland stands between them.
It will begin soon. The tension will erupt, yet no one knows when it will happen or how long they can stand unwavering. No one dares to break contact.
It started! One got struck by a loose arrow. In a count the rows of the bravest and controlled men were vanished and replaced by wild beast trying to feast of the blood of their victims.
No one knew how or why they changed. Nobody saw the thin finger of Death or the God of War behind him. He who forced Death to take a life that started a war.
Like the wind, His red hair danced with the excitement in the air.
In His chair He looked at the feast He made...
His other gift to Him should be coming any count. He walked towards a giant window. With a swift movement he shoved the curtain away. His harsh voice commanded what He wanted to see.
The image in the window changed and a woman came into view. He could not distinguish her figure nor her looks. A veil protected her from His roaming eyes. Yet He knew how she looked.
She possessed the beauty of a Nymph. Her soft skin had the color of the moonlight when the moon was at her fullest. Her black hair darkened every shadow she passed. Each person who looked into her deep blue bottomless eyes, became haunted. Her lips had the color he adored.
The color of blood.
She neared His castle. He cast one last look at the war He wanted and then He looked at her...
With a silent movement of His lips He said:
'Happy Birthday to Me...'
