— There were once two brothers: the White King and the Black King. And they ruled over two kingdoms that lived in peace and harmony. Trade flourished, and because of men from the White Kingdom married women from the Black Kingdom, or the other way around, the union was only getting stronger. But one brother betrayed the other and a war broke out, which has been going on for 2000 years.
We listened attentively to the old lady, not wanting to miss a word. Her velvet voice was mesmerizing, and the story seemed to come to life around.
After resting a little, she continued:
— So the harmony came to an end. The sky overcast and the sunlight disappeared forever.
— But why is the war going on if the kings have long been dead? Really no one could agree to stop this madness?
I looked back. The words belonged to a girl standing behind me, whom I had definitely seen somewhere before.
— That day was the beginning of an endless war, the end of which means the end of the world. On the border of two kingdoms, where there is a black and white checkered field and once played chess, an eternal battle is now being waged. And there is no winner, as well as no loser, no matter what they say.
— Is not this the end? Every day someone dies fighting for what?
— That is the world we live in.
The girl obviously wanted to say something, but kept silent, turned around and left. Her hair, soft as poplar fluff, flapping in the wind until she disappeared.
