A Phone Conversation

Elsa looked at the pictures sitting on her desk. Her daughter could be right - the Atharim could be wrong, but they were not the ones to make these decisions. The Regus lead from a place of knowledge - everyone knew the legends. "Elyse. You are my daughter. But you are not right either. Can you be 100% certain you won't end up like the hundreds of others who have come before you? All it takes is once, Elyse. Once to lose control. There is no checks and balances for instinct. Humanity can be lost - even a mundane human loses their humanity. Should be put a Oni on trial for murder? Should we let the rougarou eat the judge who is presiding over him? Or the wolfkin tear out the ballif's throat? We do what we do to protect humanity. "

Elsa sighed. "Come home, Elyse. No one has to know. We will hide this - together."
