We sat, huddled together, alone in a world large enough to engulf us in its massive wave of destruction. It wasn't The City Of Paradise, anymore. We, the children of glory and safety had decimated the city, and stripped it of its name.
We could think of nothing but ourselves. Not imagining the sacrifice, the consequences and the resulting bloodshed of our own kin because of our shallow thoughts and ideas.

We promise.
