  Summary

  Back and forth they dance. Banners swaying on the wind.

  No one could remember why the Brackens and the Blackwoods fought, no one cared to know anymore. Like dusk turns to dawn, it's bound to happen. The only question that remains to ask is when.

  War is an opportunity to some, a hell to all.
