"This," Rush told the tour group, "is all that remains of what was the border between Aront and Mirrian."
He gestured at a small section of rusty fence that still stood despite the best efforts of time and elements.
The tour group considered this and then reverently began taking pictures as if there weren't far better available in the last stop on the tour: the gift shop.
Rush continued talking about the merger of the nations and about peace that lasted centuries as he herded the group onward.
The fence stood quietly.
The gift shop waited.
