First Speech
“Listen, everyone! The most important thing is…”
Should he really say something like that?
“The most important thing is that we act like a family. It shouldn’t matter what tribe you originally came from, we are now one. It’s the maidens wish.”
He regretted saying the word the moment they left his mouth.
Well, at least it got some people to talk.
“We want to hear it from the maiden herself!”
This was not going well at all.
“Everybody shut up! This kind of thing is exactly what I mean!” Tsuki said.
It was good to hear her voice again.
“I want us to be united as one pack. I’m not saying everyone needs to abandon their own traditions or original tribal furs, but when it matters, really matters, we need to be able to depend on and protect one another like a family would. It doesn’t matter if you were originally from the main clans, sub-clans, or your fur was black or grey. We’re all survivors of our own struggles… we’re all wolf-demons.”
Everyone was silent.
“Please, believe in my Aniu. This man, your new chief, he chased a demon who killed hundreds of us and almost killed him countless times, but he still pushed forward for the sake of his fallen men! For all the fallen! He defied the laws of death to come rescue me, a worthless, weird-talking girl who should have died long ago. To him, I wasn’t the Maiden of the Moon, I was just… his little sister. He even took on our God! He punched him in the face and was able to get away with it! If you can’t follow someone like him, who will you follow?”
Silence again. She really knew how to talk to everyone, regardless of gender or tribal affiliation.
How could he top something like that?
Why try to top it at all?
“You heard the little lady. Let’s rebuild ourselves from the ground up. You don’t have to like me, but I’m sure you can all see the sense in the direction we should take. For the prosperous future of the Wolf-Demon Tribe!”
Well that got them to rally around him.
Not bad for his first official speech as the new Chief.
