The battle had been long, had been bloody, had been brutal. The invading forces were finally thwarted, though everyone, Wraithvine included, were exhausted. Bribid nearly ended up exposed, and the forces they'd helped defend the land were now going through the sad job of tending to their wounded, and burying the dead. -- Fighting Fit
Regrettably, war is the only option left. It is the failure of diplomacy, and the last resort. Or at least, it should be. This war, thank the gods, was a last resort. There was no meeting in the middle when one side wanted the other side dead and cold in the ground.
The side that desired extermination had their desires turned against them. Those who wanted nothing more than to kill... were the ones who died.
They would not, however, be thrown into a midden - as their leader once boasted they would do to the residents of Harrin's Pass. That was what ultimately made the difference between the sides of the conflict.
