The war raged on, and it seemed like every family was affected by it in some way. But none more so than the siblings, Tessa and Lucas, who found themselves on opposite sides of the conflict.

Tessa was a fierce fighter, known for her skill with a sword and her unwavering loyalty to her country. She had joined the army as soon as she was old enough and had risen through the ranks to become a respected lieutenant.

Lucas, on the other hand, had always been a bit of a rebel. He didn't believe in the war or the reasons behind it, but he had been drafted and had no choice but to fight. He had quickly earned a reputation as a cunning strategist and was now a captain in the enemy's army.

Despite being on opposite sides, Tessa and Lucas refused to fight each other. They had made a pact when they were younger that no matter what happened, they would always be there for each other. And even though they were now on opposing sides of the war, they were determined to keep that promise.

As the war raged on, Tessa and Lucas found themselves in situations where they could have easily come face to face. But every time they did, they simply locked eyes and silently acknowledged each other before moving on.

Their superiors on both sides were growing suspicious, wondering why they never engaged each other in battle. But Tessa and Lucas didn't care. They knew that they were doing the right thing by refusing to fight each other.

As the war drew to a close and the two sides met for peace talks, Tessa and Lucas finally came face to face. They embraced each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces. They had both survived, and they had kept their promise to each other.

In that moment, they realized that even though they had been on opposite sides, they had both fought for the same thing: peace. And they knew that no matter what the future held, they would always have each other's backs.
