We find Peace walking by a beautiful field with flowers, fruits and lush trees, and she was enjoying the beautiful view; it was around noon when  suddenly, a thunder broke the mirror view with a dreadful noise.

Somebody showed in front of Peace, saying that he was named War and also said: " Is your name Peace? Do you love Peace? Do you live in peace? Do you teach peace?

Look, I hate those things, I am War and as such, I am your natural enemy. Be on guard, prepare and defend yourself this same moment since we are going to have a combat.

And only the true warrior will live, the one who deserves to have power, control, authority and all this kingdom and even more." And Peace answered:

" Be at ease, it is no necessary to fight, if you like this field, you can stay and I will leave very far away, so far that you will never see me again. You can stay and enjoy as I was, of this beautiful place."

But War said: " Your overly sweet words pretend to deceive me but I have studied the art of war and war is my blood, my conscience, my story and my future."

And without allowing Peace to say a word, he rushed toward her and with an ax killed her, divided her body in four parts and placed them on each cardinal point, he then, cut the trees, the flowers and destroyed everything, while saying:

 " This is done so nobody dares to face me, so they'll know how fierce and brave I am."

And also, with the purpose of not leaving a trace of memory about Peace, War  attacked and destroyed that place. Next day, he came back to see his work and while walking by what had been a beautiful place, he would smile to see how it now was somber, empty, dead pasture, burned flowers, destroyed trees.

He kept coming to this place and he would bring music bands and he would give medals to his soldiers and generals. But one day, there was no war music to be played, neither flags to raise, nor more bodies to be buried; what was left was death and loneliness.

But War kept going to the place until one day and in spite of himself, he went to the center of the field, justly where he had killed Peace and shouted:

" Where are you coward, where have you hidden? come out since I want to kill you again. You are my natural enemy, tell me what happened to you on this same instant."

Then, the sky was covered with clouds, all became dark and War without even realizing and without been able to stop, cried out from the deepest part of his being:

"My eternal enemy, Peace, where are you, why did you leave and abandon me? What is the reason that the medals, the soldiers, the generals have turned into nothing? My arms are ready to attack, to go into combat, but there is nobody left. Then, I am now, also, nobody and it is your fault and my fault."

After saying these words, he started crying. The next morning, he returned to the four cardinal points to pick the bones of what had been Peace once, he took them and placed them little by little, under the sun, and while doing this, he was thinking:

" Peace, you are rebellious, even after death, you fight me."  And he would turn from laughing to crying.

After placing the skeleton in the best way, he shouted:
" Fight, coward!" But Peace did not answer.

The sun was shining in a extraordinary way that day and the white bones were shining and seemed like a group of white doves. Then, the violent and magnificent same spirit of war inclined in front of that cadaver, asking for forgiveness and said: " You have given me the worst and most terrible vengeance, you made me face my hell and my fears. You made me see, without me wanting to, the stupidity of my violence. "

He then, called his generals and soldiers and asked them to remove their medals, uniforms and arms. He made them, to dig a tomb where to bury all those things and on top and with exquisite and infinite care, he buried his natural enemy.

He then, sent his soldiers and generals to clean the destruction, to prepare the field, to water and fertilize the land; each new day, they understood that peace is more arduous, more intense, more profound and more honorable. And when they looked at the destruction, they could not avoid the tears in their eyes.

They now had bleeding blisters in their hands and feet, they no longer had arms of war but tools to plow the fields and their clothes were dirty but clean and pure at the same time. Time passed and passed but nothing would grow, it was like walking on the desert. He then called his soldiers and generals and said:

" I free you this same moment, I am no longer king or ruler of anybody, I am crazy, stupid and a liar. I lived deceived for a long time but I give you freedom this same moment. I am as nothing, less than dust and from now on, you are free. Now, leave me alone, like this field that is dead, like death, who I claim for, but she does not come to liberate me of so much pain. I wish that I could have died that day instead of Peace, then I could leave a worthy memory, like the one of my ancestors, but I now realize that it was not dignity that it was misery and cruelty that there is nothing nor will be nothing worthy in my story."

He said those words with the eyes closed and when he opened them, to his surprise, nobody had left, on the contrary, those soldiers, those generals brought their families and there they were teaching the importance of peace.

And his soldiers and generals said: " Don't be surprised, sir, we will not leave you. War was our sense in order to live, it was our bread, family, destiny, our whole life. But what kind of life was that? Only a chimera, we now understand the true sense of life, we now want to learn from peace, so, we will not leave, nobody is going to abandon us since what we have lived here, we will not be able to live somewhere else. And whatever time is left for us, we will dedicate to understand the mysteries of peace."

And without saying another word, they united, approaching each other, embracing, congratulating because their hearts were free.

Next morning, when they went back to the field, they found something different and said: " A miracle has happened here, come you all here!" And in the same place where Peace had been assassinated, where Peace delivered her life, in that place, a flower had been born.

And the smallest one of them shouted in a very high pitch: " Peace has come back, she has returned." And life reemerged in the four cardinal points and with the passing of the days, that desert turned into a field -now even more beautiful- with brilliant flowers, with lush trees.

Many years passed and that king was already very old and he was staying in that place in his last days and death was calling him. He then said a few short words to the persons in front of him:

" I  finally have a feeling of death, I have a mission that I must fulfill even after my death. I have to go searching for Peace, and when I find her, I must kneel in front of her and ask her for forgiveness and if Peace forgives me, I will finally have peace." And after saying these words, he expired.
