Children of Ice and Fire (Demo #008)

Twenty years ago

 

"Burns, never, ever talk to that girl again!"

 

"But, mommy! She's really nice and she shared her toys with me," Burns said to his mother.

 

"Her parents are bad people! They're Icefolk so we, the much better Firepeople, must never speak with them. They are stupid and carry Sickness," his mother scolded the five year old.

 

"Okay mommy." But inside, Burns still wanted to play with the nice girl he had met in the park.

In the Icefolk district

 

"Cindy. How could you even think about touching that filthy child? He's the son of those barbaric and aggressive Firepeople. His red hair should've told you that!" Cindy's mother never yelled, but she was still getting her point to her four and a half year old daughter.

 

"I'm sorry. He just looked so lonely!"

 

"Cindy. Sweet Cindy. You have the heart of an angel, but what if he attacked you? I've told you how dangerous they are. It is because of their constant fighting that the Sickness came.

 

"Now, go upstairs and wash up. I'll have to throw away these toys. But I'll buy you new ones."

 

"Alright." As Cindy climbed the stairs, her thoughts were drifting back to the lonely child she had met in the park. His scorching red hair and green eyes that she had never seen on a boy before in her town.

Author's Note

This story is about two great Nations: Firepeople and Icefolk. They've been at war for centuries. But both sides fear the Sickness, blaming the other for starting it. Among the two Nations, it is forbidden to become friends with one not of your Nation. But can they forbid love?
