Their already powerful kingdom wasn't enough, and they began to attack other kingdoms, taking them down one by one. Nearly half of the planet was destroyed and and thousands were dead, so they built a wall to hide the horrific sight from their subjects. But the once happy couple fought constantly, both wanting to be stronger than the other. They grew a burning hatred for one another and went their separate ways. So, once again, they built a wall. Those originally from Christopher's kingdom went on his side, and those from Elizabeth's on her side. All you need to know is that that family is pure evil. Promise me, Olivia, you will never associate yourself with the Daltons." I sigh, looking at the ground, "I promise, Uncle." Little did I know, that promise was soon to be broken.Complete
