Kimberly sat on a rock, head resting on her hand thoughtfully. She had heard both sides of the argument, and felt that neither side was truly wrong. The world had altered humanity in such a way that oppression and fear ruled far more effectively. To be honest, she didn't really want any of the "saving the world" thing herself; all she wanted to do was to protect her hometown. But this was a disaster on a scale far beyond her calculations. If things went to hell, at least she would die taking the perpetrator with her.

"Guys, I know it seems like a suicide mission. This whole thing may seem incomprehensible at best, but let's look at this one other way. We have been living under oppression for so long. Life is hard, we know that. If the old man's tale is true, then that means humanity isn't at fault for this mess we supposedly got ourselves into today. The economic failure, the widespread deforestation: all just a ploy to weaken humanity down to its recesses.

"I believe that this is an opportunity. Humanity had flourished in our history, we had lived through golden ages, ages of advancement and yet we are now trapped in an era of stagnation. Things have to change, and we have the power to do so.

"What are we living for? As fellow humans, haven't there been times where we thought: 'We could be [b]living a better life[/b] than we are right now. We could have had [b]dreams[/b] to fulfill; our lives would have a [b]meaning[/b]. We wouldn't have to live everyday thinking that tomorrow may be our last.'? I, for one, have. In fact, I have thought about this every night as I rest in my bed, dreaming that as tomorrow comes, we will have a happier life. And now, the means for that possibility has shown itself and we choose to turn our backs on it?

"It is a dog-eat-dog world out there. As much as we are supposed to be hunting those Vygorns, I am sure those Vygorns will be hunting us. One small misstep, one revelation that you have mystical powers, and that's it my friends. You are as good as gone. The Vygorns did not become politicians through magical mumbo-jumbo, I'd reckon. They have to possess some level of intelligence possibly parallel to humanity's. It is not a good idea to go alone.

"And so, I beg you all to reconsider: there is a grand future ahead, and we need only make a choice to grasp it. For if we don't, then humanity doesn't have any other option. We [i]need[/i] this revolution."

Kimberly finished. She was surprised to find tears in her eyes. Emotions probably got the better of her, as she sat down on the rock once more and stared at the ground, thinking about the struggles she had to endure growing up.
