Welcome to Gaia! ::

:::He sips his wine:::

No longer afriad of the dark...? :::never heard that in the teachings:::

((gotcha...))

Malazar twirls his glass and stares at it for a time before speaking.

"Humans as a people feel the need to explain everything in life. The problem with that is that once a thing can be explained it is no longer feared. I've seen it on countless hundreds of worlds and in countless thousands of cultures, times and places where people no longer fear the unkown because it is no longer unkown. In most worlds, the supernatural have faded from the sight of the people and no longer interfere with the dealings of men. Without proper competition for supremecy our race becomes arrogant and foolish. We begin to destroy everything we touch and even the very environment we live in because we do not feel the need to respect anything but ourselves. It is very difficult for the masses to care one way or the other if others suffer because in many cases that suffering simply won't relate back to them. There are two major problems with this, the first being oh so common on many worlds. Humans become so superior in their own minds that they end up destroying themselves completly. In other, less common cases, the supernatural decides it is once again time to become involved with the natural. I have seen worlds were the shadows have once again reached out across a world and humans have been wholy unprepared for what happens. These occurences of re-emergence are far worse than total self-destruction. They are more prepared for humans than we could ever imagine, because for all our inteligence on a base level they are still faster, stonger, hungrier, and more powerful than us. I ask you Kal, would you rather be dead, or have your body be enslaved and your mind imprisoned in endless torment for the rest of eternity?"

Malazar takes another deep sip of his juice, finishing off the glass.

"Once humans no longer have physical resistance in their path, there is nothing stopping them. Without all the various magical and supernatural races sharing dominance with them, humans become arrogant and fearless. It's like the old notion of checks and balances. When you aren't the top of the food chain, or even when you share it, it's pretty hard to ignore everything around you. When there's no longer any reason to fear the dark... disaster occurs. It is because of that second reason that there are so many myths and legends in human culture. Even if one thinks it a story, most people know that a wooden stake to the heart or sunlight will kill a vampire. Same as silver and wolfsbane are lethal to the Were. These stories are passed along to aid future generations against the past's foes. However, myths and legends become warped and stuted over time, the written word is not as easily corrupted. On my world a stake through the heart, whether it be wooden or not, will kill a vampire because a vampires magic is based in the blood, not because they are violently allergic to wood. On the other hand, I've met vampires who love hanging out at the beech in full daylight, attend church every week, and the more garlic in their food the better. If a man was to approach one waving a cross, doused in garlic, the thing would tear out his throat in an instant and have him served over linguini for Godsday brunch."

Malazar sighs and leans back to look at Kal.

"Now do you see what I mean?"

*tilts her head* What he says makes sense though. There's a reason the fey choose to only intervene with humans when ASKED. Or when it was needed....

*blinks* Umm... Maybe I should have mentioned, I'm a faerie. *laughs a little*

*giggles and smiles at K* A faerie is someone who's from Faerie. Think of it like this, we're a lot like humans, but stronger, faster, we wield magic, and we live with Nature, side by side. We do have wings, we just don't always show them.... *she took and moved the back of her dress down a little, her wings popping up out of her dress, they'd been confined there by her dress, held in place basically*

*She doesn't say it but she's repeating exactly what her mother taught her to say if she ever met a human who needed and explaination*

*She cracks up and gives him a hug* Dude, that's understandable! *giggles and pats him on the head* I just told you something that most humans don't expect to hear um...ever.... so yeah. *giggles but doesn't let on she completely expected this, as she was told to....*

*waves a little to K* Bye!

*She starts to fade out herself, too and before she knew it she was gone*
