However, the children of the two tribes fell in love. One day, the chief of one of the tribes asked his son to take a command arrow and summon the tribesmen to attack the other tribe. The man could not agree, so he took the command arrow to see his lover, and the two of them tried to discuss countermeasures to quell the war.
