Five Minute Freewrite: Commemorate
The coastal country of Kradox usually have access to the terrestrial world from their nearest land neighbour, the Knox people. Over the years they have been living peacefully with Knox even coming to o the waters of Kradox to fish and do other things.
One day however, a slight misunderstanding between the hitherto two neighbours led to a mid fight which later degenerated into a full blown war. The Kradox people can no longer access the lands through their neighbour's landed gateway.
The deadly war lasted for five whole years. It however took the intervention of the international community who sent peace keeping force to end the bloody war.
To commemorate the end of the hostilities between the two countries a wreath-laying ceremony is usually done at the land border of the two countries on the eve of the end of the war. It is usually a big ceremony with dignitaries from both countries attending.
At the end of the day, they realised that peace is priceless and war does no good to anyone.
