Part Five: What�s the Point?

While everyone cleaned up the mess on the battlefield, two children from opposite sides sat on the cold wet ground talking.

�Hey,� the human boy said to the immortal girl. She turned to him.

�Hm?� she asked. The boy shrugged at her a bit.

�What are we fighting for?� he asked. The immortal thought about that for a moment. She shrugged at him there.

�I don�t know,� she replied. �Why are we fighting?� The boy shook his head at her.

�Seems dumb doesn�t it?� he asked.

�Yeah!� the girl agreed. Both laughed out loud. Then, the girl stopped and looked right at him.

�You�re yet going to kill me when I least expect it, are you?� Her new friend shook his head at her.

�Nah,� he said. �What would be the point?� The girl thought about that for a moment.

�True,� she replied. Both kids looked out at the battlefield.

�Think it�ll end soon?� the boy asked.

�Who can say?� his friend asked. �Might take years.� The boy looked at her with big eyes.

�Years?!?� he asked aloud.

�Seems that way,� the girl replied.

�Wow!� the human mouthed.

�I know,� the immortal said back. Both turned back to the damage. Some from both sides heard the kids� conversation. They all began to wonder the same thing as well. Something had to be done to end this long ridiculous fight. Lucky for them all, the ending would come in a few seconds.
