During the summer, the field was full of tall, green grasses. In spring, the field's grass is vibrant and soft and full of flowers of a vermilion variety. In the fall, the field is dead and crunches beneath the feet. In the winter, not a thing lives as either everything is dead or merely dormant. However, now was no such season. Now was a time of war. Corpses filled he field once full of life and blood flooded the area in rivulets. The days heat attracted a foul smell and many scavengers. The war was wrought over land, the very land people were dying on. Weapons of mass destruction weren't used, but the casualties were enormous. Catastrophic even. Greed in the form of two emperors put the risk of others lives on the line when peace was an option. However, war is human nature; a natural disaster even. Human conflicts are natural as ideals are not always shared. War is created from these conflicts and take many more lives than people anticipate. Money and time are also wasted. In the sense that a natural calamity is caused by natural processes, then is the process of a disagreement turned violent also natural as they are waged by Earth's inhabitants over Earth's resources? Just as tragedy is ever-present, so are wars. Wars are not a means of growth but a means of communication, or rather, lack-thereof.
