Chapter 1 The hatred

In the land of Azura, where the sun dipped into the horizon and painted the sky with hues of crimson and gold, two brothers, Kael and Arin, were born to the village elder, Thorne. Thorne was a just and fair ruler, loved by his people, and he had always hoped that his sons would follow in his footsteps.

As the brothers grew up, they were inseparable, sharing adventures and exploring the surrounding lands. However, as they entered adulthood, their paths began to diverge. Kael, the elder brother, was hot-headed and impulsive, often acting on his emotions without thinking through the consequences. Arin, on the other hand, was calm and collected, preferring to think things through before making a decision.

Their differences in personality led to clashes, and their relationship began to fray. Kael, who had always assumed that he would succeed their father as village elder, became increasingly resentful when Thorne announced that Arin would be his successor. Thorne, wise and knowing, had seen the potential in both his sons, but he believed that Arin's calm and thoughtful nature made him better suited to lead the village.

Kael was furious, feeling that he had been betrayed by his own family. He became withdrawn and isolated, spending most of his time alone, nursing his anger and resentment. Arin, who had always looked up to his brother, tried to reach out to him, but Kael pushed him away.

The rift between the brothers grew wider, and soon, Kael made the decision to leave the village. He wandered to a neighboring village, where he was welcomed with open arms. The villagers, impressed by his strength and charisma, asked him to be their king. Kael, seeing an opportunity to prove himself and spite his brother, accepted the offer.

Years passed, and both brothers ruled their respective villages, each trying to outdo the other in wealth, power, and prestige. The rivalry between them only grew, and their villages became bitter enemies. The people of Azura whispered about the brothers' feud, and how it had torn two once-great villages apart.

Kael's village, called Brindlemark, flourished under his rule. He was a just and fair king, loved by his people, but he never forgot the slight he felt he had suffered at the hands of his family. He became obsessed with surpassing his brother, and his village became a symbol of his own pride and ambition.

Arin's village, called Oakwood, also prospered, but at a slower pace. Arin was a wise and thoughtful king, loved by his people, but he struggled to match the pace of his brother's village. He became increasingly withdrawn, focusing on his own village's problems, and neglecting the threat that Kael's village posed.

As the years went by, the tension between the brothers continued to build. Skirmishes broke out along the border, and the people of Azura lived in fear of an all-out war. The brothers' rivalry had become a powder keg, waiting to be ignited.

One day, a messenger arrived in both villages, bearing news of a powerful and ruthless warlord who sought to conquer all the surrounding villages. The warlord, named Malakai, was feared by all, and his army was said to be unstoppable.

Kael and Arin, realizing that their petty squabbles were insignificant compared to the threat posed by Malakai, decided to put aside their differences and form an alliance. They met in secret, and after a tense and awkward reunion, they began to discuss strategies for defeating the common enemy.

As they talked, they realized that their unique skills and strengths complemented each other perfectly. Kael's impulsiveness and bravery were balanced by Arin's calm and calculated approach. Together, they hatched a plan to defeat Malakai and his army.

The day of the battle arrived, and the two armies clashed on the outskirts of the villages. Kael and Arin fought side by side, their differences forgotten in the heat of battle. Kael charged forward, his sword flashing in the sunlight, while Arin provided cover with his archers.

As the battle raged on, the brothers began to work in perfect harmony. Kael's bold attacks were supported by Arin's clever tactics, and together they pushed Malakai's army back.

In the end, it was Kael who came up with the plan that won the day. He noticed that Malakai's army was vulnerable to a flank attack, and he convinced Arin to launch a surprise assault on the enemy's weak side. The plan worked, and Malakai's army was defeated.

As the dust settled, Kael and Arin stood victorious, their differences forgotten in the face of their common triumph. They realized that their rivalry had blinded them to the fact that they were stronger together than they were apart.

The brothers' victory was met with cheers and celebration from the people of Azura. The villagers, ...who had lived in fear of Malakai's army, now hailed Kael and Arin as heroes. The brothers, once sworn enemies, now stood together, their bond stronger than ever.

As they walked through the villages, they were greeted with cheers and applause. The people of Brindlemark and Oakwood, who had once been divided by the brothers' rivalry, now came together to celebrate their victory.

Kael and Arin, overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, realized that their feud had been foolish. They had let their pride and ambition cloud their judgment, and it had almost cost them everything.

As they walked, they came across a group of children playing together. They were laughing and chasing each other, completely carefree. Kael and Arin watched them, and for a moment, they forgot about their differences.

"You know, Arin," Kael said, turning to his brother, "I think we have been foolish. We have let our pride and ambition get in the way of what's truly important."

Arin nodded in agreement. "I know what you mean, Kael. I have been thinking the same thing. We have been so focused on outdoing each other that we forgot about the people who matter most."

Kael smiled, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders. "I think it's time we put the past behind us and worked together. We can achieve great things if we do."

Arin smiled back, and the two brothers clasped hands, sealing their newfound partnership.

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
