â€œWar is the nature of the beast,â€ replied a woman who made her seat at the bar; her face was once again shrouded by the hood of her thick gray cloak. The regulars would easily recognize the figure as Shard; a known vampire of which very little was actually known. She just showed up occasionally, and then left, only consorting with the will weaver at the door.  â€œIt is not always necessary, but in this case, it is: the great struggle between immortal and supernatural and mortals and natural. If war does not occur, then the conflict will manifest itself in other ways; strengthening the hunt as our kind refuses to fight back because of their innermost humanity.â€<br/><br/>â€œThatâ€™s where it is a bit ironic; humans are the biggest monsters of all. They lie, they cheat, they steal, they are greedy creatures who must work at making the right decision, and that is if they even want to. Most supernaturals value life far more then a human ever could, in part due to the differences in mindset. Even next to Quissera who has killed thousands, humans have chosen to become the most revolting and evil creatures to ever walk this earth. All out of fear, all out of hatred. You may wish to solve this with words, but I know the Empress. There is no negotiating with her; she wants a slaughter. A slaughter she will have if there is no one willing to fight back because of their humanity.â€<br/><br/>She pauses for a moment. â€œThe world has become cold and brittle. For such a cost; are their souls even worth saving? Look at how they have acted on this witch hunt. They slay and maim anything that isnâ€™t part of their world without question, and without thought of the consequences. Iâ€™m starting to doubt I should even care, what happens to those who oppose us. Maybe, after this is all said and done, their hearts will be judged.â€<br/><br/>Now whether or not this made sense to her companion didnâ€™t seem to matter to her. She was content in even talking to herself to reaffirm what she was saying; and seemed quite happy in doing so. She spoke so calmly; it brought a sense of serenity about the surrounding area.
