Synopsis for "Old Enemies Never Die!"
In Western Europe in A.D. 453, the Goth Valoric was struck by an arrow, mortally wounding him, but threw it at Attila the Hun as revenge for killing his wife Livia, wounding him and causing him to die that night.
In England in 1190, the Silver Knight and the Black Knight fought over Lady Olivia, with the latter knight mortally wounding the former, although he was impaled with a sword and killed as well. Afterwards, the woman declared that she would never wed and wanted the former to wait for her beyond the grave.
Along the Marne in 1915, a German pilot opened fire on Sister Lorraine and her wagon of orphans before exchanging fire with a French pilot and crashing into his plane before the Frenchman tackled him, causing them to plummet through the sky.
In Czechoslovakia in 1942, Nazis burned down the town of Lidice and a Czech man carried his wife out of a burning building before setting off a grenade that killed himself, along with the commander who ordered the burning.
In the middle of the 21st century, after a nuclear apocalypse, a survivor tackled a hunter who shot him, as well as a woman that he was looking for.
A millennium later, after all humans had died, a reptilian animal attacked and killed a furry female animal before her mate intervened and stabbed it with his horns, although he was bitten to death by his enemy.
After some time, humans appeared on Earth again when it had become a garden.
