Fighting and Death are… soothing?




Fighting, it should be chaotic, loud, the opposite of peaceful. But on the hushed frontier, it seems to restore order. With the breath taking scenery, and the silence, it almost seems more serene. They are fighting, and fighting is never a soothing sound, but the silence changes the whole affect. It is as if everything balances out each other, fire and water, violence and peace, silence and disarray, they all make each other better.
