The WAR Story
It was a cold and dreary night.....
The mighty leader had broken. WAR stood in shambles, the followers in silence stood, their heads lowered in sorrow. Was this the end of the WAR clan, my home? The home to my brothers and sisters....? As Lastat laid his sword down to rest he spoke, "I've grown weary of leading.... I can do it no longer..."
No one spoke....dead silence... Until indeed, someone stepped forth from the shadows to voice his opinion, "You can't just leave us! WAR is our home and I cannot and will not stand by and watch it be destroyed... There must be some other way!" The voice belonged to my dear friend, General, a fierce but noble warrior. Generals outburst brought a weak smile to the Elder Lastats face.... "If you are so bent on not letting WAR end, my loyal General, if you think you can.... I would be honored to have YOU continue it...."
"Me...?" Now General stood in shock at this surprising but well deserved offer....
After a moment of deep thought, General held his head high, "Tis both my honor and duty to make sure WAR doesn't fall under any circumstance. I will take responsibility and WAR will prevail in all that dares to challenge it, that is a promise...."
With this the old leader smiled a full hearted smile, and the reunited WAR members cheered. General feeling like he had begun to fulfill his destiny felt proud knowing he had WAR's loyalty.
The Elder Lastat turned silently and walked away.... Becoming a Nomad was easy for the retired leader, as he knew his way around from his travels. However, he always makes time to check in on his spiritual home.... As, he was the Father of War.
WAR had a new leader though.... A mightier one, a more loyal one. A true one.... And so WAR continues to this day.... As it always will, under The Almighty Generals rule...
