A Simple Tale in a Paragraph and a Happy Ending

The City of Crimson is under siege from the neighboring City of Azure. Both sides have opposing views such as; one believes in military strength as opposed to increased education, more government control or more freedom of the market, helping other countries or help themselves first, and many others. Because of increased tensions, the two go to war to make sure the peace is kept in their country.  The people both sides said they’d protect die in the conflict and hypocrisy is at an all-time high. Some people fall to their vices and others attempt to be heroes but just end up leading people to their deaths. People take advantage of the chaos and get others to pray and worship false gods. They get them to commit sacrifices of flesh, lustful orgies, and expensive donations in a vain attempt to get God to fix things. All is lost as both cities kill each other, but there is still hope. A couple survives the civil war, but the husband lost his legs while his wife lost her arms. They are riding on horseback to spread the lesson of what happened here today to the first city they get to, which will hopefully spread all throughout the nation. Dozens of lives were lost, and all was gained was a lesson. A lesson that will hopefully save lives in the future. It is up to those who are alive to determine the fate of the next generation and the generation after.
