BOOK OF WAR
Table of Contents
1. Prologue.................................................................................Eukara Vox
War is declared.
2. The Symphony of War..............................................................Urufuhiken
When the song of sword and melody of cries die after the battle is over, have the victors truly won... or will the present ever know the truth of their actions that day?
3. Black Life, White Death............................................................Crimzon5
The comparison of war and chess, beautifully woven, gives a haunting picture of war.
4. Shadow In Their Eyes..............................................................Cow Face
What goes through the mind of a man who is sentenced to fight, whether by voluntary conditions or not?
5. Poems of Geoto Clan................................................................balubamboto
Geoto Clan... Now, I know I have heard about that some where. I think I must look into a few of my Universal geography books. But... this collection is interesting. It speaks of pride, togetherness, standing as one before the foe. Then switches to a more naturalistic fight, one against mankind. And then ends with a glimpse at how sudden a war or battle can be.
6. The Revolt.............................................................................Red Blizzard
Now this is interesting. A story from an odd time in the universe and time, when the ways of three lives tangle in a mess of alternate timelines. Anyway... I digress. Seems that alliances and sides are taken in a war, and eventually you must decide who is your friend, enemy and person of convenience.
7. Resolution..............................................................................Alexander Shiveran
Through the eyes of a man who gave his life, what his thoughts, feelings and last words would be. May his Queen know his valour.
8. Destructive Thoughts...............................................................The Doctor
War... can have so many results. And if people do not heed what could be, what will be will destroy everything.
9. Schism..................................................................................Red Blizzard
After a battle, the victims are not always the combatants. Perhaps the most devastating losses are those innocents whose world has been destroyed.
10. A Dance of Death..................................................................astro999
In conflict, a delicate balance must always be preserved between caution and valor. It takes a skilled tactician to know how to manipulate that balance- and to do so before hesitation sweeps your cause away.
11. The War of Love...................................................................nolraitru
Which struggles are the hardest to endure? Are they those in which your life is threatened? Or those in which you lose your loved ones?
12. Xenocide.............................................................................Red Blizzard
While one may be able to see one's enemies, can one ever see who they are? War can be blinding: it can close our eyes to the humanity of our adversaries.
13. Total War............................................................................Sheriff Duncan
It can be difficult to find the words with which to describe a battle. It is more difficult still to deal with the emotional shock of watching that battle unfold before your eyes.
14. Wrongly Entombed................................................................Horusmaster9
How can one survive, if even after one pulls through the horrors of a war, one is still trapped in it, mentally?
15. Empty Fields........................................................................Clyde
Whilst on the battlefield, one may ponder on the reasons why and what for. Are we alone in the mutual effort? Or do we grow close to those dying around us?
16. What Gain?..........................................................................Shreder
A different point of view: inside the ranks or an army, yet an outsider, pondering on the pay-off of all the strain and effort.
17. And it Continues...................................................................Eukara Vox & Gianna Glow
Redcaps abound, library in ruins... what's a Librarian to do?

Fighting one's friends is a perilous battle. But when one is betrayed, is there any other choice?
23. The News............................................................................Fleur Du Mal
When families are torn apart, children sometimes mature earlier than they would otherwise need. But, there is always a void left behind...
24. The Unidentified Sword.........................................................Sw33t0rdi3
How does one take done a bad guy? Sometimes, you need the help of the unusual.
