”There was a hatred so consuming that it rooted into every cell of their bodies. It was an old hate, born before memory, no one knows when or why. It grew with every vengeful act, generation to generation, one on top of another, until it eclipsed all else. This was what existed between the Vandorians and the Tanangg. And were one capable of blotting the other from the planet, to destroy every aspect of the other’s existence, it would still not quench the hate.…On Vandor, the emotion was so strong, so thick, that it was inhaled by the two factions and exhaled as a beautifully lethal dance of attacks and counter-attacks. This mirrored passion between the armies produced a masterful kata of tactics and strategic adaptation.…...It was the hatred that drove the Tanangg to inflict lasting marks upon the Vandorian soldiery and citizenry. It was the refraction of that same hate that empowered the Vandorian Squibbs to destroy the Tanangg at every opportunity, giving no quarter or pause. Each race was capable of great, good things. Each race was also capable of great revulsions as they danced along opposite sides of the same blade edge. It was the hate that now connected them and gave them purpose. It was the hate that created the ballet of Tidron attacks and executions.This hatred also created Una Lor.”
