Love in Troubled Times

The boom of a cannon shattered the city's silence. Everywhere the eye could see, flames of war stretched across the land.

She traveled north alone, and amid the endless snow and ice, met him in full military uniform.

All in deep green, mingling with the chill fragrance of the garden, it blossomed that night.

Time passed, and at last even that tiny patch of land fell to the battlefield.

The young general fought with his back to the river. His tall, resolute figure soared across the battlefield, his uniform drenched in blood. He swore not to withdraw until he had avenged his country's shame.

Still clad in that same deep green, set against the vivid red of blood, he etched a final, beautiful scene into her eyes.

Only then did she realize that, after all these years, it had become a faint ache.
