"The war that happened in 1940. struck Kelna so bad the village still didn't recover. Let me tell you all about it. It all started on a peaceful day, everything was normal everyone was happy in our little village. Then suddenly everything changed, the clouds got darker it started raining and thundering. It was awful, a tornado almost ruined the village, but thankfully it went away just as it was gonna break through the village wall and gate. Why did it suddenly all turn black? No one knows... How does this tie in with the war? That I can answer. You see that same day the president of Lewrick, Daiman Montero, sent out 400 thousand soldiers to Kelna, knowing we were weaker then them. Our soldiers fought hard they really did. But they were too strong. Woman and children had to hide in buildings and the church. They didn't have much food left as all the animals were murdered by the Lewrick's army. Everyone old you talk to knows this story and probably expirianced the war. My parents died in that war. My dad was one of the soliders for Kelna so he was shot. My mum was trying to save other woman and children in the now known 'old church'. While she was doing that she was assinated by an unknown person. I was still a baby then. The war lasted for 30 years. My parents died in the last year of war. If only they made it... I was then raised by my aunt and uncle in this very village. They now live in Lewrick even after knowing what they did. I still can't forgive that town. I will forever have pain in my heart thinking about it. My aunt told me this story. I don't remember anything since I was a baby. Does that answer your question about war little mister?" - Bela
Lilith: "They asked about the war, not your lifestory Bela..."
Bela: "The story wasn't interesting enough I had to add some things in."
Child 1: "I think the story was very sad and scary."
Child 2: "Even the wind can scare you."
Child 1: "That is not true."
Lilith: "Stop fighting you guys."
Child 1: "Yeah stop it Benny."

Lilith and Bela watch as the children walk away still arguing. The little children and their curiosity remind Bela a lot of herself that young. She also asked a ton of questions and argued with her aunt a lot. They are on good terms now but don't interact as much anymore. They aren't as close as before. Maybe because she moved to Lewrick. God Bela hates that city.
Lilith and Bela head to a nearby café to drink some tea. Bela looks out the window as it is starting to rain. Both Bela and Lilith didn't bring umbrellas. They plan to stay in the café until the rainstorm stops. Bela was looking through the window as she sees someone watching her. She gets goosebumps but shakes it off as Lilith asks her a questions. The figure however doesn't vanish...
