The two worlds built an eternal gate between them, connecting the hearts of their two central cities. The most vulnerable places in their respective worlds, ensuring that one could invade the other at a moment's notice, so ensuring that neither ever would. Not again.
Instead the gates became a highway of trade and cultural exchange. Difficult at first, given the vast differences between the two peoples, but surely, steadily, a bond was formed.
And so now the gates stand not as totems to a great war past, but a beacon of a brighter future to come.
