The Battle of Control

The most remote part of the forest, lay a kingdom. A big one. A huge town, full of civilization, surrounded the castle, giving it successful relations from the royalty to the civilians, and vice versa.

The royal family, A king, his brother, A queen, and their 2 children, one son, and one daughter. They all grew up with equality and fairness, along with the rules of being a dictator for many, many people.

By the time the king had passed away, the 2 children had grown to the point of power, where they would rule over their land, or maybe even their own.

The queen had taught them how to be a good leader, instead of one that have greedy needs. By the time the queen had passed away, their town and kingdom was almost deserted, due to a massacre. The two set off in their own ways, using their knowledge and everything they had learned.

One had traveled to the hills, where a town had been made. She lived there, and since the word got around of the last of the two royal family members had left to start anew, they had immediately crowned her as queen and did everything she had commanded.

The other had traveled to the deeper forests, where there was just a tiny village, living off the land. He gained control by working his way up, meaning that he would help the people farm, built houses, fix problems, etc.

The two areas grew in size, such as their civilians and reign of the land.

It was until years after did the sister want more power, so she thought of many ways to acquire it. She went as far to finding more unmarked villages and cities, but they all refused, claiming that they needed no ruler, and that they were happy without rule. Since none of her plans worked, she could only think of one think that could have equal power.

Her brother.

She confronted him, giving him the opportunity to stay under her command, as it would trick him into giving up his power to control to her. When he declined the invitation, she was enraged, storming off back to her home and locked herself in her room to think of other ways to gain his control. Then it hit her.

If he wouldn't peacefully give her his control, then she'll take it by force.

She sent countless raiders to his place, taking all of his people one by one, evoking the king into seeing her face-to-face. As he arrived, all of the people stared in shock, as if they could feel the intensity of the King of The Deep Forest. All men, women, child, and creature had cowered before him.

He agreed to talk over dinner with his sister, negotiating the treatment she had put on his land, and trying to show her that what she did was wrong. Since the negotiation didn't go well, the king had left, heading back to his place. Enraged once again, the queen had sent people out to assassinate him. None could have a fatal blow on him, except one. An archer. He had been struck in the shoulder by a poison-laced arrow, which caused him to tumble off his horse and lay in pain on the ground. He quickly got up and ran, as far as he could, back to his place.

His kingdom was scorched, burnt to the ground, nothing but the stone that once stood as walls, and not even those were visible enough to make out. Broken, outraged, and betrayed, the king went off into the wild wilderness, in search of something, but unsure what he wanted himself. He walked for miles, for days, even years, but he still was blind to what he wanted or needed. He had passed away as a fee man, where only his side of the story had been told, while the sisters' side had never been mentioned.

Word had gotten around through the sisters' kingdom, saying that the King of The Deep Forest had passed away, leaving the sister uncontrollably happy, for she thinks that she could have even more control over the land, only to be denied by most of her own people. All of her residents had fled the kingdom, leaving her poor and defenseless. She was thrown in jail by the last of the soldiers to rot to death for the death of the king.

Years went by and the town and city of the queen and king had ben renowned by one person, a sage, and he brought back the life of the places, making it inhabitable. Stores, houses, bars, libraries, farms, everything was brought back. As the days went by, more and more people had been learning about this new place, and lived there.

In those libraries were books telling and explaining the lives of the king and queen, convincing them that their rulers wanted the other dead. A fight broke out, which ended up as a battle, then a war. The war still goes on, making it the 2nd largest fight between rivals.

As you can see, I wanted to give up on this part. lmao.
