Heavenwar: The field of the weeping sunflowers

    The victorious army stood in the field of sunflowers. They had slain 
every last of the opposing soldiers, except for their leader. The slain 
would know their defeat for an eternity. While being slain, the 
victorious army tortured them mercilessly. The slain cried out "Please, 
show us mercy, we beg you. We are truly sorry." The victorious general 
laughed, and said "I will make sure you are sorry. I will show you 
cruelty which you have never seen." One by one, the soldiers were 
tortured. They started with the foot warriors and as they went up through 
the ranks they inflicted unimaginable suffering on the warriors. The 
defeated general heard their cries. He started to weep for the fallen 
soldiers. He was sad that he had led them to such a fate.
    The victorious general picked up the bound and broken general. "I 
have taken your men, I have made them wish for death to end their 
suffering, I have broken them and bound them forever, just as I've broken 
and bound you." Then the defeated general was afraid. He trembled as the 
victorious general held him in the air.  A Woman's voice rang out. "Stop 
this! You must stop this! You have defeated him. You have broken his 
bones. You have broken his spirt. You have achieved your victory, and 
many have suffered and died because of you." The victorious general slain 
the woman and said "I will have his soul forever." He killed the defeted 
general and left the field. 
   At this, the sunflowers started weeping. Shedding seeds like teardrops 
for all time. One day, the lord walked through the field and saw the 
sunflowers weeping. "Why are you weeping? Why are you so sad?" The 
sunflowers answered "We are sad for we have seen cruelty beyond 
imagination. We are sad because we have seen a woman silenced for 
speaking out against this cruelty. We are sad because there can be no 
peace here now. Look at our field. Once our sun was beautiful, but now 
it's a light that shows the bodies of the fallen. Once we had fresh water 
but now we can taste blood when we drink it. Once the air was pure but 
now carries the stench of the fallen."
   "We could not stop them. We are only sunflowers. We cannot stop their 
swords for they are sharp and would cut our leaves. We can not chase 
them, for we are rooted to the ground and would die from hunger and 
thirst. We could not stop them, but we will remember. We will remember 
forever. We will weep for them."
   At this  The Lord said, "I will weep with you, then, in the hopes that 
you will not feel so burdened by these affairs of men." He wept with the 
sunflowers for he was truly saddened by their tale of woe. "I will avenge 
the fallen. I will take up their sword and their shield and fight in 
their stead and I will be victorious."
The Lord took up the fallen sword and shield and with his army fought the 
cruel victorious general. "I will inflict pain and suffering on you as 
you have shown to others. I will hear your screams. I will watch you beg 
for mercy. And you will suffer through all eternity!" The Lord smote the 
victorious general and the victorious general suffered for all eternity.
   The Lord went back to the sunflowers. "I have found the ones 
responsible for this. I have inflicted a punishment on them  and the dead 
can rest in peace. They have been avenged."
  But the sunflowers were not consoled for they had seen cruelty beyond 
all imagination. Their land held no peace, and the sunflowers still weep.
