The cost of keeping this war going was extracted from it's citizens who are paying over double in taxes than what their grandparents did! And you want to know what else that cost has come in? Fewer businesses opened, fewer marriages, fewer children being born! Worse over all health, less wealth, less pay! We were almost at the level of the Southern Water Tribes before the war ended!"

"I was there for three days." Locked up. Thinking she'd never get to go home. They'd treated her well-- given her food, and bedding-- but she barely remembered that. All she remembered was them taking away her book and feather.
Still with her eyes closed and the phone to her ear, she reached for Lilith.
