There were four... The story of War | silver01ta's Blog


The four tortured souls who worked together were not always so evil...

At one point in time they were simply normal men.

This is the sotry of the one who bore the name War.

He grew up in a different home than most children.

Where most children were always given praises for the their triumphs...

He would recieve criticism because his triumphs were never good enough.

Growing up he never fit into any crowd.

He was never smart, he was never socially popular.

He was your average human being with average looks.

Tragedy struck him when he was a young man and he had to grow up very quickly.

From the tragedy people noticed his superior strategic skills.

He could analyze a situation and remain clam and make the proper decisions.

Unfortunately he never had the same success when it came to love.

Love is something that he never understood.

He craved to be love but he never found it.

He then devoted his love to his friends and family only.

The Master was always watching him from afar.

The Master approached this man and requested his loyalty.

The man wanted nothing from the Master in return.

The Master knew he found his best soldier.

The Master did not have to do anything to this man.

He was perfect for the Master the he was.

This man became War.

War could commit horrid acts without thought.

He had no soul.

He had no time for love.

In fact he never wanted anything to do with love again.

To him love was just another tool for weak.

Of the men under the Master's command...

War served the Master the best.

Always following orders, always completing his tasks.

Ready to burn the world down at a moments notice.

War rid himself of his soul and his emotions.

For years War did his job silently and perfectly.

Until one day he snapped and left.

No one knows where the sudden change came from.

Famine and Pestilence followed War.

He was a natural leader.

A charasmatic individual who bring light into a dark room....

or fill a bright room with darkness.

Of the four, he paid the biggest price.

He lost his soul.

His punishment was not death.

But life.

Life with the guilt.

Life with no peace.

Life with nightmares of the unspeakable crimes.

Life with no light.

Only darkness.

So is the story of War.

His punishment was life itself...

Wow. All these views and no comment? It's a really good post. Often sounds like the struggle vets I've talked with. Finding their humanity again. They feel like this a lot.

Thanks. I hope this opens the eyes of some when soldiers take their life. Dying on battle is a luxury compared to the mental anguish.

Mmmm... Well done, Silver. So many broken soldiers coming home to broken families, and a broken country. It's the REAL cost of the war that nobody likes to talk about. *My son-in-law came back from Iraq, with a messed up leg, and a bad limp, but that's the least of his worries. My daughter left him, as she said that she could no longer live with the stranger that came home wearing her husband's face.

Agreed. Unfortunately the military is not an equal opportunity employer. Its quite interesting. The officers are very well prepared for mental aspect of war more so than the soldiers. I really wish they teach philosophy in boot camp. Von Clauswitz (a military man himself) provides excellent inside to war. We train them to kill and we train them to die. But we dont even begin to train them to live.
