Once upon a bridge...

Introduction

Once upon a time, in a far away land, existed two kingdoms who lived in peace and harmony. The kings had been close friends from a young age and they were inseparable. George Harris, king of the Gavaria, was a kind man who believed that violence was never the answer to one's problems. Nathaniel Darth, king of Orsha, was well-respected and a feared man in battle. Despite the boy's polar personalities, they enjoyed each other's company. All was well in both kingdoms until the debutante's ball season arrived. Both men being in their 20s, they had yet to be married which made them extremely sought after by both kingdom's young debutants. At the Celosia ball, the first one of the season, both kings were present and swarmed by the silk covered women. They were chatting away when suddenly, Miss Elena Solvoreign entered. She was by far the most beautiful woman present. The kings both found themselves captivated by her extreme beauty. They both approached her with intent to make her theirs. They spent the entire season competing for the ladie's affection and using dubious tactics in the process. Their friendship only hanging by one thread, both kings finally proposed to Elena. She ended up picking George, having fallen for the man's kind heart. This sent Nathaniel in a jealous rage and led him to seek revenge on his former friend. He came with the idea to steal the king's crown, strip him of his pride by taking his family heirloom. He gathered his most trusted man and sent them on a mission to retrieve it. A week later, the man came back empty handed. The king was enraged and demanded to know what had happened. They assured the king that someone must've beaten them to it because the crown was simply missing. King Harris, having caught the whim of the crown's disappearance, decided to wage a war on King Drath's kingdom, assuming he had taken it. Both fought for a year and neither won. It was agreed that a huge wall was to be built between both kingdoms and that their respective citizens were to remain on either side of the wall. This happened 70 years ago.
