The churning in my stomach was a pale reflection of
the war that continued among my states. Heart vs Mind vs Spirit vs Body. Soul
has often considered itself neutral ground accepting whatever philosophy that
graced her shores. And for sure, there have been days of due diligence when
Soul has tried to reach a peace between The Four warring factions, yet this
near-thirty-year civil war continued on with little respite and no possibly
permanent end to the inkshed.
The actions of Soul were often times not completely
without selfish ambition. She had enough situations to overcome within her
borders without the constant worry that the views of The Four will spill all
over to her land. Her people were already susceptible to the actions of Heart,
Mind, Spirit and Body. And why shouldn’t they? They (The Four) may have been at
war but they all did live on the one continent. It was hard for Soul, trying to
be the peace when all around her borders were fighting compatriots. If
something was not done, all life would be lost. Soul may have been considered
the youngest of territories but she was still of the Eternals and she was not
about to let linger this near-thirty-year civil war; not another day, not
another season...
