Immortals move unseen through the world. One arrogant fool was pulling strings to wipe out all Beastmen but those he considers ‘pure’. For all his posturing he was not divine. And no matter what Beastmen think or see about Silver Wolf. I am not a god either.
People look to the divine when they feel powerless but gods do not rule our world. People do. [He closes his eyes as he digs through his recent memories.] Every nation of the world has different ways to rule. Some by bloodline. Others by votes of a selected group. In Anima City, the ruler is Mayor Rose, the founder of the city. She consults with the heads of the various factions and we handle matters as they come up. Policy is decided by vote of the public. She has told me if the people wanted her to step down she would and wish a successor well. But she is well liked and we…are happiest when there is structure.
Beastmen are uncomplicated. We know she cares and acts on our interests. She keeps things safe and orderly. Thus do the people trust her. I will not deny we have a very black and white view. I am…attempting to have a more open mind, as is my duty as their protector.
[He looks to the side for a moment then he sighs and looks up,] The representatives - usually the leaders of nations - decide what is acceptable for a nation to do. It keeps the peace between them. But Beastmen are feared by the rest of the world. Often times in the past policies they came up with hinder our natural movements. Or restrict us, decide to control us without our voice to represent our interests.
It is why Anima city exists. We are deciding to let humans in, let them know us and we them. Maybe then we can find the peace we all seek.
No problem!
