The Serenwilde..

Greetings,
Having read the past few posts and found them quite distasteful, I
figured I would step up to speak my own formidable mind on the matter.
Bear in mind, I do not speak for the entire Serenwilde Commune.. I do
not pretend to have so loud a voice. However, for what it is worth, I
will speak.
First off, to Dyr.. I don't know who raised you, but it is generally
common practice to show due respect to any Divinity, especially an
Elder. I respect even my enemies. Such is the way of things. I wouldn't
be overly surprised if She introduced you to a sampling of the power you
claim She doesn't have as a direct result of your sheer disdain and
complete lack of respect.
As for the rest of the comments about us seeking to spiral ourselves
into a downward spiral of decay.. I personally seek no such thing, and
it is rather presumptuous of you to even claim that you know anything of
my thoughts. You generalize, and that brings me into the picture. If you
think you know anything of me, then I challenge you to step up and tell
me about myself. You will most likely be sorely mistaken.
We are a commune. We value Nature, and seek to help it thrive, rather
than succumb to the greed for power than most would call progress which
is slowly destroying our homelands. If you attempt to resurrect Crow, I
don't care what progress you think you may be making, you are taking a
direct action against White Hart, and we will strive to defend it. You
call us beasts and monstrosities, yet all we want is peace.
Here's how it works: You leave us alone, and we'll leave you alone.
There is nothing more that needs to be said on the matter. We are trying
to preserve what we have left. You want to live in a City.. I frankly
don't care. I prefer the freedom of the Wild. As I said, I don't speak
for the commune as a whole, and I may even be mistaken in some of the
things I have said. Yet, for as long as I have been here, I haven't ran
into many people chanting, "Let's go kill some City Dwellers!" and
forming lynch mobs.
Think before you speak. All it does is make you look foolish when your
words speak half-truths, or complete falsities.
