Listen To Their Side
Isabel Night

This war is causing me to look at the world in a different perspective. It's not that I hate my partner; it's just that Anubis and the other Warlords are forcing me to think.
I guess, in a sense, the Warlords have every right to be angry with the Ronin Warriors. Why should Ryo and Cye have their partners and the Warlords not be allowed to spend time with theirs? After all, aren't Melody, Melissa, and myself partners as well? If we think that only the Ronins can have their partners, then we'll become too narrow-minded. I know that separation from an armor bearer's partner can be painful, but I also know that there is also a fierce need to protect that partner from harm. I know that Dais, Sekhmet, and Anubis want to protect us, but how can they do that? We're on opposing sides of the war.
But, there's another factor that keeps us apart, our friendship with Sarah and Brian. All of us are good friends, but our partners are different sides. Everyone has told me that I have proven my loyalty to my friends and the Ronins, but what about my partner? I'm supposed to be loyal to Anubis too, so how can I be loyal to both sides? Who is my biggest priority, my partner, or my friends?
I now understand why my partner and the other Warlords are angry with the Ronin Warriors, but I can't bear the thought of being separated my friends. The Warlords do have a right to see us, but because we're on opposing sides, it will be difficult.
Sometimes I wonder if both sides of the story are being told. If they aren't, then I have to find out the truth for myself.
