His best answer to the little boy's prayer: separate the combatants on each side in both battles, heal the wounded, resurrect anyone recently and cleanly enough dead that he doesn't have to go diving into the history of the world to reconstruct their brains, and replace all weapons - not just in active use in the battle, but any belonging to either army, at war or at home - with little bags of candy tied with shimmering rainbow ribbons. The ribbons, if straightened out from their cheerful bouncing curls, have the word 'peace' written from end to end in a randomly ordered combination of every local language.
It might not end the war, but it'll at least make everyone involved think twice about continuing. Similar tactics have proven surprisingly effective at home, in some situations.
