Journey into the Stone Cage

I was not sure which terrified me the most... Stepping though those cold iron bars into the Stone Cage or the attention that was received in my short time there.

"Wouldn't it be best to know your enemy?"

She had a point. The Humans would corrupt and destroy this world, and she had good point to learn of them in case they tried to cause war. I could sense a heavy burden upon my shoulders when I stepped in. A gloom and disgrace that hovered about the stone walls of the Cage that I could of cut with a knife. And oh... the smells... such a foul place indeed.

The first thing I noticed about the Stone Cage, were the rats the Cage Dwellers live with. Large rats that could easily be picked off as sizable pets. They were just left to roam free along the docks the Humans use. How could anyone live in such filth?

Huntress took me farther in, showing me the place that was left to her. It was a large construction, still... the walls within seemed to close in on me without much warning or delay. However, the one thing that did fascinate me was what Huntress called a 'stove'. A small, metal box... which held a fire within and a cylinder tunnel that sent the smoke that would build, out of the building. An interesting object, indeed.

The end of my Journey into the Stone Cage, was at a place where two roads crossed... like an intersection. There were several benches, but also several humans. Their attention that was directed to me left me a bit uneasy... even worse when a child came up and poked my arm. Such a foul smelling race... I couldn't seem to get the smell of the Human off my arm.

The Cage Captain wandered in upon us, eyeing me as if I was a potential hostile. In a way, I could be... With such evil and destruction that pours out of the city and onto Sykala's Domain... I can see why I would be assumed as an enemy. In my eyes, they are my enemy.

Unfortunately, this is a war that I cannot win by brutality. This is a war that all I can do is sit back and be a milestone for them. They have to decide to change and it doesn't matter how much they suffer. In the end, if the Humans fail to realise the Wilderness is a Gift... then they will be the cause of their own destruction.

-Forest Father... Please, I beg you... Shine your wisdom upon them. Forgive them for they know not what they do... If there is but one who understands, I pray that you do not destroy them.
