This is a long one, sexual content advised, please skip if you mind it. Thank you.

"What happened here, tell me everything!" said May.

"It began many years ago. A secret group of vestals called the 'Sito' they controlled the guards then used them to invade the Lower-Ceres, killing and slaughtering the poor and innocent. We couldn't do anything to stop them, and when they when done and there was but few survivors, they used a virus to cover up the unexplained deaths, then they used the same opportunity to seal off us from the rest of the world. Using us as slaves to farm and giving them the proceeds without debate or payment. We work hard but they rip the benefits. Our children grow hungry, both young and old die senseless deaths that could've been avoided," said Ocpan.

And as he spoke, a great anger swelled up inside of May. The kind that can't be turned off, and she tried as much as she can to control it, but there was nothing more she hated than human cruelty, so she spoke, with a loud oratory voice, addressing the people as a leader should, as a holy vestal should, as the daughter of the Lower-Ceres should.

"Human cruelty will never end; Not even their greediness and wickedness, if they see a bird flying freely, they shoot it down and clip it's wings, if they see a horse running wildly, they'll chain it and kill it with tonnes of load.

If they see someone closely different from them, they'll shudder in fear and enslave them, feed my city they would order, you'll always be beneath us you'll hear them say.

Why are they so insecure to change? Why should their trangession be only towards another woman or man.

Who cages a race, because of their status, their high class status and importance? Why shouldn't the poor be given a chance? Why shouldn't you all be able to raise your heads into the sky, and breathe in the freedom you all deserve? Why shouldn't your children eat of the finest things, your fathers and mother's money can provide, why should the poor be put through inhumane madness, just to feed the rich, just to stroke their ego?

Why should the capitalist rule the world?

Tomorrow we shall change that status quo, we shall show them all we're alive and strong. We're not inferior, we do not fear death, we shall not be tamed in boundaries like animals, we're free birds and we shall glide to freedom!" she exclaimed. And the multitude exploded with a joyous outburst, they're faces lit up, and life revived itself in their hearts, it was sure that they would follow May anywhere she'd take them. But why? You might ask. Simply because she cared enough to intervene, to help, to destroy the shackles of bondage, sometimes that's all it takes, just to care.

Night came a moment after that; and the sky once again became the most beautiful thing the realm had to offer, no not the diamonds or the fine women or their riches there of. But the moon and the stars were beauties that are unattainable, and as mortals will only stare at, seeing it every night, but not being able to grasp it's light, not even in a lifetime. And of course it isn't promised in the afterlife, so the stars are unattainable in a mortals life and after death, it's a treasure that someone dreams of, but that dream cannot ever be realized, as this Tiki pondered as he stared at the stars, while laying a plain field. He had ushered himself away from people after a hearty meal to be alone and wonder, the worrying for his sister had stop for awhile as he heard May speak, he never knew she had it in her, that solid voice, that much aspirations, he admired her because she stood for something, something tangible at least unlike him.
