The text at the top of the poster shouted EQUALITY!! in big easily visible letters.<br/><br/>Beneath the text, was a drawing of as many species as could fit on the paper holding hands, surrounded by torches. The flames on the paper were enchanted to gently twinkle, sparkling and seemingly shifting in the light, and glowing gently and welcomingly at night.<br/><br/>And finally, finishing the thought from above, were the words LIGHTS UP THE WORLD! underneath the proclamation, in probably much too small letters, easy to overlook, was a time and an address.<br/><br/><br/>At the given location and just a few minutes before the time, a small redhead woman mounted the stage. Nervously pushing her glasses up her nose, she surveyed the crowd. Small was generous, but at least it was diverse. The torches did lovely things for her hair, shimmering brightly from the amazing mass of red. Her best black leather work dress shone in the light, having been polished within an inch of its life.<br/><br/>Clearing her throat, the little mage began to speak.<br/>"Good evening ladies, gentlefolk, and sentient beings of all kinds! I'm Alwyn the mage. Many of you may recognize me from my little magic shop in the marketplace, where I use spells to help people.." Nobody present knew that, actually..<br/><br/>Pushing up her glasses, the small woman continued.<br/><br/>"One of the things that makes Hexville unique and wonderful is its diversity! Our spectacular city is home to many different species. We all have unique talents and abilities that can contribute to the common good of our city! But if you look at the slums, they are filled with what humans and humanoids often call monsters! And the closer a being is to the 'human ideal' the more likely they are to be in power! And that is not right, nor is it acceptable! Through unity, we can amplify our voices!"<br/><br/><em>That's actually a really good idea, I should use magic so more people can hear me next time... </em><br/><br/>"The elite use our differences to keep us sperated! They like to make us think that we are more alien than alike! That because we look different, and think differently, that we can't have common goals! Goals of dignity and respect for all!"<br/><br/>And, pushing up her glasses, the speech went on into the night, torches cheerfully burning.<br/><br/>
