Queerophobic Quarrels

Chapter 6

Junius 14th, 2245.

In the latter half of the twelfth century, following the creation of four of the five wolf packs, almost nothing had changed. Witches were still treating their own kinds like garbage under their shoes, and the empire was set to implode on itself soon.

As for what was causing the issue however, by that point Titanfather Meus had already purged the empire of the four forms of discrimination that were known about at the time, using the four existing packs to keep the empire's witches in check, however there was one final form of discrimination left undiscovered - sexism.

It's said to be the most discrete form of discrimination, which is why Avunculus Hyperion handn't noticed and as a result, many of the empire's females suffered greatly. These issues were the most severe in Blight Valley and was a precursor to the events occurring during Re Rodrigo I, and Re Emilio VII's reigns, however, queerophobic sexism is of a different origin.

Regular sexism still is born out of Invidia, specifically when Paters grew Invidios of their comrades who have many successful male family members, and often did the same whilst abuse their own female family members to compensate for their shattered egos, which became so bad that sometimes it even leaked outside the family.

However, queerophobic sexism though viewed as equally sinful, is less so when compared to regular sexism. As Re Rodrigo I mentioned, hesbians, and transbians endured the most torment. "That's an interesting thought Jacobus," Re Rodrigo commented. "What about the other families, where the females aren't queer at all?" Princeps Caligula questioned.

"That just sounds like regular Invi but I'm not really sure," Princeps Jacobus answered. "Though thankfully, this isn't as bad as the "Millennia of Misogyny" discussed in the legends of the fire wolves." "Āmēn to that," Princeps Elagabalus cheered. "Either way, this situation still requires a solution," Princepess Nera reminded, "So how're we going to fix this."

"Why don't we simply wait for those dykheads to get devoured?" Princeps Elagabalus suggested. "According to legend law that's how sexism was often punished here." "But queerophobic sexism is due to queerophobia not regular Invidios."

"Then let's wait for the Invidios ones to be devoured." "Nostrae Familiae Munus is to punish the queerophobia remember!?" Princeps Caligula reminded Fratres Eius. "And besides, it isn't just the adult males in these families who're being sexist, many of the adolescent males also participate in the appalling practice."

"Don't tell me you lot are ageiobigots now!" Princepess Nera exclaimed. "We didn't say that Nera!" Princeps Caligula retorted. "That's what it sounds like!" Princepess Nera responded. "Enough you four!" Imperator Rufus exclaimed, silencing Catulos Suos.

"I understand none of you wish to hear any of this, but this is the current state of the empire right now!" "But is what Caligula saying true?" Princepess Nera questioned. "Unfortunately, yes," Re Rodrigo answered.

"Based on the status reports I've received from I Miei Soldati, both the adult and adolescent males in these queerophobic families play a role in the abuse though the adolescents still treat Maters Eorum with respect, as to be expected."

"At least," Imperator Rufus remarked. Whilst Eius Tres Siblings were preoccupied with their discussion, Princeps Jacobus was lost in thought, and Meus Bis Nopotem grew curious as to what Pronepos was thinking. "Is there something you wish to say Jacobus?"

"Non, Avus," Princeps Jacobus answered. "We can tell something's on your mind," Fratres Meus said. "If you have a possible solution to the current issue, raise it." Seniorem Imperialem Princeps sighed and began explaining his thoughts. "When we were in the palace, preparing for the Ceremonia, I remember reading a collection of letters that seemed to be written in a secret language and meant to be religious in nature."

"There're about five letters in total addressed to the empire's hetero witches, each one combining the beliefs of the elemental wolf packs with the aether pack to create various teachings about acceptance, and equality."

"In the second letter addressed to the hetero witches of Blight Valley, it states, "Dicit Titan, Sodales Prolem Tuam Non-Fugit Et Abusus Cujuscumque Preferences Vel Identitatis, Sunt Enim Tua Lis Concessa Titania, Et Sic Tractari Debes. Quicumque Hanc Legem Violat, Lis Eiectus Esto, Et Sic, Qua Intulerant, Emeritis Servire Coguntur."

"So, you found it?" Imperator Azuro asked. "Those were old letters written by Publius Cassius themself in the ancient language of the aether pack, known as Calpurio, when he realized just how bad the effects of Ramses Orca's actions were."

"I'd spent years translating at Titanfather Tuus' request when Pater Tuus was a pup. He informed me that one of Posteris Meis would someday find it and use its knowledge to return parts of the empire to its roots."

"Is that what you'd been writing!?" Imperator Rufus questioned. "Why didn't you tell me!" "Mater Tua, Titanfather Et Ego didn't wish to force our ambitions upon you," Bis Nepotem Meus answered. "We wished to allow you to rule the empire in your own way."

"Gratias Tibi, Pater," Imperator Rufus said, gratefully." "Tu Receperint, Fillium Meum. I'm very proud of the wolf you've become," Imperator Azuro stated, proudly. "We all are," Soror added warmly as the rest of Hyperi Propinqui Mei nodded in agreement.

To provide context, several years after Imperator Azuro finally won the respect of his subjects by Patering pups, Avunculus Hyperion visited the palace every day for five years to deliver these letters, each one containing his words on how he wished for his creations to behave towards each other, at least in terms of accepting each other's sexuality and/or gender identity.

At some point during those five years, the then Princeps Rufus saw walked into one of these translating sessions and grew curious as to what Pater Et Titanfather were doing. After several seconds, the two of them noticed the curious pup, and after hearing what he'd seen, Imperator Azuro simply instructed Fillius Eius to pay it no mind.

"As for your idea, Jacobus," Imperator Azuro continued, turning towards Pronepos Eius. "I admit it has merit but what of the adolescent males. They were merely following the example of the adult males in In Familia and had no knowledge of their sinfulness." "I already considered that, and I actually have a different solution in mind for them." Princeps Jacobus responded.

"Which is?" Nepos Meus questioned. "We teach them," Princeps Jacobus answered. "If they truly are unaware of their sins then it only stands to reason that teaching them the right way, the true word of the titan, should theoretically inspire them to change." "I take it you also got that from that letter you found?" Re Rodrigo asked. "It's the abridged version of what I read, yes," Princeps Jacobus answered.

"I think it's the best solution we have so far," Il Re Del Fuoco stated. "Unless the three of you have alternatives?" Alii Iuvenes Imperiales shook their heads in response. "Well then, do you wish for I Miei Soldati to accompany you Jacobus?" Re Rodrigo asked. "Ita, Avunculus," Princeps Jacobus responded.

With that, Princeps Jacobus along with several Blight Valley soldiers, travelled to where the abuse cases were occurring which thankfully was Roma, and Milano, the closest parts of the kingdom to the Castles. Why those dykheads thought it was a good idea to abuse Feminam Cognatis Suis in places they could easily be found, and arrested, is beyond me but I digress.

Regardless, upon seeing Quello Del Loro Re's heavily armed soldiers, many of them attempted to fight back but were unsuccessful. When all was said and done many witches were sent to the Hyperion Colosseum to await the day they'll be judged.
