the 100 years war

The war.

There were two species that existed long ago, enemies since always; the Aradrites and the Dorgantos. They lived in their world in peace for the longest of time, until one day, the Dorgantos emperor, Draafar got angry at the Aradrite emperor, Atos, because some Aradrites were visiting his world without him knowing, until he caught one Aradrite arguing with one of his subjects about how his world should belong to the Aradrite emperor and not to them, them being quite selfish at times. This said Aradrite quickly got imprisoned in the donjon deep in the dark, foggy world Draafar ruled. The next day, a threat letter was sent to the Aradrite emperor, telling him to control his subjects and not to let them go into his world. To Atos, this was a war threat, that if another one of his subjects would go to the enemies' world to spy them or anything else, the Dorgantos would attack. The Aradrite emperor decided to immediately act on this, making the descent to Draafar's world illegal and that if anyone would do so, they would be banished forever in the worst way possible. No Aradrite dared to disrespect the rules written down by Atos because anyone who doesn't respect a rule written down by the three-clawed hand of the great Aradrite emperor gradually becomes a fallen Aradrite, the feathers of their wings, which are supposed never to fall down except when the individual is dying, to fall down one by one. When the last feathers are gone and touches the ground, the Aradrite who didn't respect the rules falls from the majestic clouds and cities that constitute the world of the Aradrite. This fall from Atos' world is long and, at the end, when they finally hit the ground, they find themselves on earth, where the human lives. After this rule was written down, peace somewhat came back between the Dorgantos and the Aradrites for at least a hundred years. After exactly one hundred fifty two years, one Aradrite found a way to go to Draafar's world without being banished from his own world. A spell in a book, which was hidden from all, had one spell that made the one that summoned the said spell able to wreck the rules without having the consequences. After giving it a try and seeing how it was successful, he started spreading the news to every rule breaking Aradrite wannabe. The only thing is, maybe the Aradrite emperor couldn't know they were some rule breakers again, but Draafar knew some of his enemy number one came down to visit his world. He was infuriated because of this. This time, he didn't send a letter of complaint and threat to Atos. He instead decided to attack, seeing the visits of the Aradrites into his world as a message that Atos wanted to invade his world. He said something in the language of Aradrites and Dorgantos that could approximately be translated by a simple sentence "this is war."

His words echoed through his entire kingdom, making everyone aware of what was coming. One rule breaker that was hidden in this world also heard what the menacing emperor of Dorgantos said and, in fear, quickly left this world to return to their house, well aware that a war was coming, and not a simple frontier war. This interspecies fight would end up with many important losses on both sides, and no one could stop this major event from happening, they were doomed to fight and knowing how cruel the Dorgantoses could be, not even the kids and the females were safe, the foe would go in the house of the allies to destroy everything and kill anyone that gets in their path no matter who they are. Just the thought of this happening, of losing everyone they love terrified them to death. They realized how Atos, their emperor only wrote down the rule of not going in Draafar's world to protect them from the consequences that could happen if the menacing emperor of the world below theirs would get too annoyed by these common visits of the other species.

The Aradrite emperor Atos quickly heard the wind of the upcoming war by one of his subjects running in his room "Atos!! Draafar announced there was going to be a war! ..." The Aradrite emperor didn't know why and how his subjects broke so many rules without having the consequences he had written down. He didn't ask any questions, he only had to make sure everyone was ready to fight against their long-time enemies even if his people didn't know how to fight and wouldn't want to hurt a fly, if there were any in this clouded city. This devastated him, he yelled at the one who told him the news to go away and leave him alone, the newfound weight of responsibility was as heavy as a mountain on his shoulders and he placed his three-clawed hand on his five horns to make his finger-claw bleed a little, something he used to do to punish himself when he didn't succeed to protect his people. Horns were the symbol of power for Aradrites. Aradrites didn't normally have horns, they usually had hair and pointy elf-like ears yet no horns, only emperors had some.
