[And now for something completely different! Something simple, yet astonishing in its own right.

Moro, playing with a squirrel.


...Granted, the squirrel is running for its life, as Moro playfully bats at it, chasing it in the snow and pinning it with a massive paw. Then she would release it, before letting it scurry off before trotting after it.

Don't let your guard down, though. Even now, the scent of a fresh kill lingers on her. Likely a deer. Her full belly may also be why this little squirrel is getting harassed rather than killed.]

Is indifference truly excuse for their slaughter! Forests burned, cut; the earth ripped open to pull the iron from it; animals slaughtered, gods shot at...

All in a forest belonging to the god of life and death himself! They would march into the forest to cut his head!

[Insert incredulous look here, even as he backs up a cautious step]

...That sounds like an incredibly foolish idea. Why in the hell--

No, nevermind. I'm sure they've got some ridiculous notion as to why that's a good plan and it'll all come back to bite them in the arse. It usually does.

Look, I'm not trying to excuse anything. I'm only trying to explain that most humans are generally more reasonable than that.

Are they really? Because those humans who have been met with reason have all been put to death by the humans who are so certain that they can triumph over the gods.

...I used to work for an organization. Most people who worked there were just doing their jobs, but the people running it thought they could control something they couldn't. The results were...disastrous. Many people died. I lost someone I loved.

So I know very well that reasonable humans can be killed due to the actions of arrogant ones, but that doesn't mean the arrogant outnumber the reasonable. It just means the arrogant are unfortunately better at seizing power.

The pack follows the whims and will of its alpha. What the alpha does is what the pack does.

[coffeeking]

But if the pack doesn't like where the alpha is leading them, someone will eventually overthrow him.

[biteoffherhead]

But the humans are not overthrowing their alpha. They are following her will with gusto, and raising their guns against the gods, led by her arrogant bravado.
