And I am Winter born
"It seems... as though violence was born from violence," she said with a frown. There was no beginning or end to it. This war was just an example of the ouroboros, the snake that devours its own tail. It was the perfect paradox, of an impossible, but continuous repetition. The bloodiest example of unity and continuity. How long would it continue? It would not end if Inferni were defeated in battle- if every member were slaughtered and murdered, for there were others related to those in Inferni. Would they not seek revenge? The cycle would be born anew, continued again. If both sides stood up and fought, there would be at least a fair battle, perhaps even with the declaration of a winner and a loser.
Perhaps not.
"After that... what happened? Asphyxia attacked a Dahlia de Mai member, Haku sought revenge by raping her... did anyone seek revenge to restore Asphyxia's... honour?" Her words were old, ancient, breathing the life of past human traditions, but they were not restricted only to humans. She had read of them, but more importantly, she had experienced them. How many more would die? Return the favour, return the bloodshed until there was no more blood to bleed?
