[ EU ] The magic world has been exposed to the muggles . Driven by fear and ignorance , a catastrophic war between the two has taken place . You are a soldier on the front lines of either side , write a story describing your experience during the conflict .

The things those monsters can do are *insane*. No one on our side knew what we were truly going up against. 
 
 The first battle with the monsters - the weaklings as we called them back them - was a cultural shock. They came in with the strangest looking battle gear, aiming their stupid sticks at us, and suddenly my comrades were falling down around me, screaming in pain. There were these small flashes of light coming from their sticks, and whoever the sticks pointed at went down. It was only after most of us were dead, with the rest pretending to be dead, that I noticed what had happened. The shot holes in everyone and everything. I was lying in a pool of my friends blood, and I did n't even see it coming. 
 
 The next time we faced them, we were prepared. We hid ourselves and attacked in the dark of night. We won that battle, but it was only because we took them by surprise. It turns out they have shields against our weapons, and almost nothing we throw at them gets through if they know we're coming. If you're lucky, the rebound does n't hit you. Kenneth was n't lucky; he was one of the first to come face to face with their shields. He was so sure of himself, and when he fired at a lone warrior on the other side, he was already laughing at me about how easy this was going to be. They were stuck in the middle ages, after all, while our side had been making advances left and right. He was n't laughing when his face exploded in a rain of fire. 
 
 The war lasted 3 weeks in Great Britain, and the rest of the world did n't last much longer. Who'd have thought that going to war with the people who 300 years ago burned witches at the stake was a bad idea. They can fly now, faster than we can. They have made so much more progress than us, even if by all accounts we should have been better than them. We live longer, we get sick less often, we have bloody magic to do our bidding. Yet we were the ones stuck in the middle ages, while they were discovering the world. We were focusing on politics when they were going to the stars. 
 
 We deserved to lose the war, and those of us who had the sense to surrender will live a long life among the muggles. I think those that surrendered are allowed to keep their wands, but I would n't know. I'm destined for the stake, for my warcrimes. I slaughtered 58 people with my magic, and the only thing I regret is that I could n't kill them all. They are monsters. We might've deserved to lose this war because of our ignorance, but they deserve to die for their weapons of mass destruction.
