In our era, our clans are known as "Ti'l Death, War". Our Clan and yours ressembles water and fire. Both estinguish each other, fire kills water yet water kills fire. Neither can hold nor create peace for one another. Hatred for each other are overwhelming that it even caused thousands of lives to vanish because of unreachable peace of both of this clans.
Sankatsu is a clan ruling over the west, Shikema is also clan ruling over the east. War after a war, battles that never end. The endless drop of blood by those people who suffered from this hatred of the two clans. Burning sun during summer, freezing blizzard during winter, hunger, exhaustion and even betrayal are included in their way to the path that caused them to thirst for victory against the opposing enemy.
The sound of slashing swords and cannons against other warriors of the other clans. The sound of unending cry of people fighting for nothing. Fighting for hatred for one another that caused hundreds of wars. People suffered one after the other yet, none of the clan surrendered. Still standing with their pride as they continue to fight each other without the thought of surrendering. They chose to die rather than handing their lives towards the other. The fear that caused by hatred is nothing more than just a pitiful reason for death.
I, Shiro Ikuruyami the only son and heir for the throne of the king after my father's. I was trained, teached and diciplined in order to prepare myself for the throne. Everyday I always witness dead soldiers being carried by their comrades from war. Hatred and cries of different family for the loss of their love ones. The life that they sacrifice over nothing. I know nothing, just the idea of taking the throne for my self and following the footprints of my father.
I was sent to the northern country of Ukasaku in order to study. I spent years studying in there and then, I met Akira. We fell inlove with each other. Our hearts pounds as we hold each others warmth. Our life doesn't matter as long as we could hold each other for the rest of our lives. Our love depends on how our fate walk in our path as we progress in our future. We stand on our fate for one another and through our life. There, I learned the real value of love and sacrifice. My sight for the throne that once I stared for long, soon vanish from my sight and the value of family and one's love came and made me realize the foolish and worthless war that both clans dignifies.
Both Fate and Trust remain in our will even the worst among the cases came accross in our path.
I learned that, Akira is the heir for the throne of Shikema clan. The only daughter and heir for their clan's throne. Even against our will, our fate and trust. We are both born to fought one another even we, ourselves are against it.
Both of our families died in the war during winter moon. That event made our hearts on fire, causing our gaze turn and hold the metal sword. I ruled the army, getting ready for our battle. The day of spring, also the day we've met. The day that I've regret stepping on. I wished that it was not the same, I wish it was different, I wish we are not the one whom are born to hold the sword and thirst for victory for the sake of our people and our family.
I wished that we didn't met at this circumstances...
The day of spring came, our armies marching down from hills, valleys and dessert in order to reach the battle ground. My men prepare all the weapons and cannons as we wait for the time that both not just me and Akira but both of our clans to fought with dignity, bravery and thirst.
The battle starts when two leaders of different clans raise their flags and raise their swords. As both leader swing their sword it is the sign that the battle starts.
I stand infront holding the Flag of Sankatsu waiting for the opponents leader. After a while, a familiar face stepped forward holding the flag of Shikema. Akira, the woman I loved and the person destined to be my foe. Is infront of me, leading the army which is our enemy. My heart and gaze cannot turn. They remain on the sight of vengeance and thirst for victory. I cannot let other things change everything. I will fight and I will win. That is why I'm born in this fight.
