Declaration of War

DIANA IMANIA'S POV:

Here it comes.

The war that we have all been running from for the past two years is finally upon us. I could immediately tell what the message behind Selena's ultimatum was. There wasn't even room for hesitation.

To ask the dwarves to return their prisoner of war and face subsequent punishment was something that their pride would never allow them to do. This was all a game, and the ones controlling it all were Selena and Jay.

I looked outside my window, seeing the silver shine of armor as thousands of soldiers mobilized around the city walls. We weren't even waiting for an answer anymore, we were simply waiting for the official declaration of war that would commence the conflict.

I could see fathers kissing their children goodbye before joining their respective battalions, all of them realizing how brutal this war would be. Smaller-scaled tensions and battles between cities were something that wasn't extremely rare, but this wasn't the same thing.
