168. Fights

There was a difference between innocent little squabbles and the prospect
of facing their own brother on the battlefield
but it was there – large, looming life.

They could be nothing more than relieved
when it didn't happen, when it became impossible
and it was nothing more than a nightmare
that would never come true

But it could have come true
before that final battle.
