Title: The Place Between
Original
Rating: G
Notes: A fledgling nation holds firm philosophies as to the purpose of their existence.

“It was the war in the west for the Empire, the war in the east for Sayrad. For us it was only the war. We lived on their battlefield.”

His teacher has the round face and long nose of the Sayradi, the silver eyes of the Imperials. Only two fingers on her remaining hand, but her lettering on the map is impressively clean.

"Kuz, a place. Kul, to…" He thinks. "Be neither?"

"Between," she corrects. "Our nation was born to purpose." A mountain borderland, where neighbours had found stronger kinship with each other than their war-hearted monarchs. "To stand Kulkuz."
