They grew up together, separated by the political ties of royalty and war. 

They were on different sides but fighting the same war, fighting to be together. 

"Swear right now, that no matter what..no matter what keeps us apart you'll fight for us." 

The poor adolescent teens knew nothing of what their future held, only that it ended with them being together no matter the cost.
