"The war that raged for decades brought our once beautiful kingdom to ruin. Even the brightest star can be blacked out by the storm's clouds; we were no different, and though we fought the fall was unavoidable. There must never be a King that shows signs of weakness- and let it be forbidden that two kings will rise and oppose each other in Darkness and Light. History will surely repeat itself, given time, and I can but hope we will have learned from our terrible mistakes."
