It's not about the story about the distant past, where everyone still living in the Dreamland between the peaceful time without fear toward wars.
It's about the people who dream about the faint light of peace where keeping the nightmare at bays, where they sought things that wouldn't happening anymore because it's already too late.
It's about a story from the neighboring country who attacked Solomon kingdom where the wars already heated up with no return.
"Why everyone killing each other? "
"Why we killed the mother and the children's even tough they were harmless?"
"Why? Why captain? we have to do this cruel fucking thing!? "
"Don't ask me soldier... We're far from being saved, it's rather us who died or them. I too, I have family I want to protect"
"But this!? I know this is war... But Why we killed these humans!? Where's our pride as the Dwarvens of The Stone Bridge? "
"Pride? You don't know anything about pride kid, do you seen hundreds thousand of our man obliterated with just a single spell from that wicked human!? "
"Do you seen how many children's and kid was dying because of that persons tyranny!?"
"DON'T FUCKING KIDDING ME KID!!!"
"THIS IS NIGHTMARE! AND WE LIVING THROUGH IT TO SEE THE END OF IT! "
"IF YOU COULD DEFEATED THAT DEMON, IF YOU COULD DEFEATED THAT WICKED HUMAN! I'M GONNA FUCKING LICK YOUR DAMN SHOE AND EAT IT JUST TO SHOW HOW GRATEFUL I AM!! "
"I EVEN GONNA GUT MY INSIDE OUT TO GIVE IT TO YOU AS A TOKEN OF HEROIC THINGS YOU'VE BEEN DONE! "
"So let me ask you one more time.. Can you defeated him? Are you that strong? "
"N-no I'm sorry, but still.... "
"IF YOU DONT... GET THE FUCKING OUTTA MY FACE YOU FUCKER! IT'S WAR TIME, AND WAR CRIME WAS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME YOU FUCK! "
Deep within the heart of the dwarven captain, he know what he was doing was heinous and grotesque. But, the hatred that burned in his soul was too strongly ingrained for him to reconsider it. This was not simply a crime, but one that was beyond disgusting that ever committed.
"DON'T LET ANYONE ALIVE, NOT EVEN A SINGLE DAMN SOUL! IF THAT HUMAN KNOW ABOUT THIS HE WOULD RETALIATE! "
On that terrible night, there were no sounds left except the cries of the people pleading for mercy and help to protect their loved ones. The cries cut through the shadows like knives in a storm, reverberating across the night and bringing only echoes of sorrow and pain.
No one being spared, no exception, this is all massacre without any chance to defend themselves from the onslaught.
As time passed, the sounds of pain and sorrow faded from the scene, replaced by the eerie silence of death. The lifeless bodies of the innocents who had been slain were spread across the streets like broken dolls. Their silent eyes stares like a hollow, soulless and hideous, there's nothing could be describe how much terror they went through because this madness.
Not even a crime could matches this madness as limbs, headless bodies, and pitiful child who being killed without any second thought filled the streets.
"Why...? Why we born in this cruel world? " The captain said to himself questioning his insanity.
"WHYYYY!? " He shouted from the depth of his soul, but despite of that. The fact that numerous of death bodies that scattered like a mountain in front of his eyes was a stain he couldn't ever be erased.

The Darwin Kingdom was a powerful country filled with many skilled craftsmen and artisans. Their military strength was known in the use of armored golems, which they combined with their bodies.
Their technology was also superior to many other countries, allowing them to rise to the top in terms of military power, and prosperity.
Despite their strength and technology, the Darwin Kingdom was outmatched by a single individual, a sage who had reached the pinnacle of magic despite being a human.
He held the power to crush an entire city with a spells that being cast from very far away place.
This man was now the king of the Solomon Empire. A tyranny who never once think about the innocent except his people, a tyranny who slaughter thousands and even millions from his spells.
And now, the wars was heated up where everyone would killed anything they consider enemies, and that logic was being used against Solomon kingdom, where both sides would commit an unforgiving sins.
"It's okay captain... This is war, let's burn this sins to our grave, you're not alone.. " One of the soldiers said to the Dwarven Captain.
"Yes I know... We can't lose this war, even tough hell was waiting for us"
"Yes.. No matter what happened, I'm always going to follow you captain... Let me report the progress, the altar had been secured and the magic dome intervention would end in 1 hour. "
"Good... Anyway, do you see the new recruit? He's a good guy, so I hit some sense into his head. "
"You mean Baltic? I'm sorry I didn't see him.. Oh wait... Speak of the devil, there he is" The soldier said while pointing the new recruit.
The captain who see him was overwhelm with guilt when he saw the recruit who walked weakly with his gaze nervously looking around. The weight of this burden seemed to seep into the recruit very soul, leaving him overwhelmed and tormented by his own conscience.
His entire body seemed to tremble. The sight of the innocent dead bodies all around the places, caused a dark cloud of anguish to swirl in his heart.
In a moment of sudden realization, the captain knew that he couldn't let this man shoulder all of the guilt alone. He rushed over to him as if to say something, anything, to make him forget the crushing weight of sin weighing down on his soul.
"KID!! COME BACK TO YOUR SENSE ALREADY!! "
"LOOKING AROUND!? YES THIS IS INNOCENTS PEOPLE!"
"JUST GET OVER WITH IT ALREADY! "
Hearing this, the recruit felt a surge of anger toward the captain who he always looked up to. He could no longer allow this man to do whatever he wanted anymore. His anger was so intense that it was as if a burning fire was coursing through his veins, and he could not stand the thought of this man that don't respect the innocents deads.
"WHAT!? WHAT'S WITH THOSE EYES? ARE YOU MAD?
"WHAT'S WRONG!? WANNA FIGHT? COME ON BRING IT ON!!! "
"COME ON!!! "
The recruit took a firm stance, his anger boiling over to the point that his veins looked about to explode from his head. With a fierce battle cry of "LET'S DO THIS!" he challenged the captain, determined to confront his own demons and stand up for himself and what he believed in.
"You think you are a hero huh!? You think your justice was matter!? THEN SHOW YOUR FUCKING RESOLVE KID! SHOW YOUR JUSTICE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG WITH YOUR STRENGTH!! "
"SHOW THAT JUSTICE OF YOURS WASN'T A BULSSHIT!! "
"SHOW ME THAT PATHETIC JUSTICE OF YOURS WASN'T IN YOUR FUCKING DREAM!!!! "
A wave of burning anger seemed to course through the recruit as the captain's words provoked him. He let out a furious cry of "RAAAARRRRGHH!!" as he rushed towards the captain. His body was driven by a murderous rage, and he was ready to give everything he had to take the captain down.
"BRING IT ON!!!"
*CLAAANKK!!!
The recruit unleash a flurry of attacks with his sword with all his strength, fueled by a storm of emotion that he had no words to convey. The clash of their blades was fierce and relentless.
*CLAAAANK!!!
*CLAANKK!!!
Each strike filled with emotion of anger, sorrow, and regret.
"RAAAARRGHHHH!!!!" The Recruit scream as he trying to cut down the captain with his swords art.
"SWORD ART! BOUNDLESS STRIKE!" The recruit shouted as he suddenly sped up and launched his sword in a devastating strike that cut through the air like a blazing blade. The power of his attack was immense, and it seemed to catch the captain by surprise.
*Whoooshh
The captain who sensed it anticipated the attack and stepped sideways just in time to dodge the strike.
He was well aware of the young recruit's capabilities as he had taught him the sword art himself.
*CLAAAANKK!!
The intensity of the fight continue to escalated, and the clash of the blades, seemed almost like a means of exchanging their unspoken feelings and emotions. It's like they were speaking to each other through their swords, telling each other the things they can't say easily with just words.
"SWORD ART! BOUNDLESS STRIKE!!" The captain shouted as he launched his own attack with a swift movement, countering the recruit blows.
Unfortunately, the recruit wasn't quick enough to fully deflect the captain's attack and was forced to suffer the brunt of the damage, because of that he was sent several meters away from the impact.
"WHAT'S WRONG KID!? IS THAT YOUR JUSTICE!? "
"WHERE'S THE MONSTROUS BALTIC!? THE PRODIGY OF DARWIN KINGDOM!?"
"LOOK AROUND YOU!! THOSE DEADS PEOPLE COULD BE YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY!!"
"A JUSTICE WITHOUT POWER COULDN'T DO ANY SHIT YOU FUCKER! "
"That's it....", the recruit said with a low tone and a visible bulge of anger on his veins on his forehead. Suddenly there was a surge of vast Battle force that could be seen by bare eyes.
"let's settle this" The recruit said while pointing his sword towards the captain.
Seeing the surge of battle force emanating from the recruit, the captain answered with a big smiled on his face.
He took a strong stance, unleash his vast Battle Force and ready to meet the recruit's attack with a single strike of his own, determined to settle the battle once and for all.
"SWORD ART!!GALLILEAN STRIKE" The recruit shout as he strike down vertically.
"SWORD ART!! RAGNA WRATH!!! " The captain shout as he slashed horizontally.
*CLAAANKK!!!
In an instant, both attacks clashed with such force and speed that it caused a huge tremor that erupted with a deafening sound, piercing the ears of those nearby. The collision caused a massive vibration as the swords met with so much power.
