Killed in the name of the Gods (Darkbringer pt.4)

I watch the bodies being lowered into the sacrificial pit. Killed "in the names of the Gods", or so the cities government would like them to believe. The bodies being lowered were not killed in the name of any God, they were my children. Killed to send me a message, that my kind will not be tolerated in this town. My daughters, my sons. They spare the mothers, to make them watch as our children are executed and sacrificed. The human species views us as monsters, yet they kill without real reason. They kill because of how we look. They slaughter and cage us because they are afraid. I killed the Ryders because of what they did. I helped these people, and this is how they thank me? They view me and my children as demons, abominations. Yet we wish only to live as they do. Until now, this pathetic race called humanity had no reason to fear, but now they have killed a family of mine. A daughter, bearing another if my children. And a son, destined to be a general in my army. I have thousands of children, they think the murder of two and an unborn is going to protect them? My anger fuels me, I return to our colony, and tell my generals to prepare the warhorses. These beasts are results of a generation of twisted bestial evolution. We march on the Kingdom of Efferna at sunset, I must prepare to lead my army to battle.



I have a question to go along with this, are the lives of one family really worth the death of thousands? Think about it.
