"Theo?" His old teacher spoke up. "Is something wrong student? You haven't said a thing all night."
Everyone shut up and glanced at the Arch-Aura Mage.
Theo felt like screaming out in frustration at the antics his fellow council members were showing. "Let me tell you something." Everyone nodded. "On Earth, if an animal is cornered, wounded and scared, it will fight back with all its might and then some. It will do whatever it takes to survive. One time I saw a cat, cornered by a pit bull, a type of dog, rip the dog's face off. When the cat stopped, the dog's face had to be put in bandages for a while."
Theo took a deep breath. "While I can see why people are afraid of him, to actually hunt down a Weresmilodon goes against everything that I've ever stood for."
Bugie spoke up. "Theo, we've been friends for a long time. But if you knew what the archives said about what the Weresmilodon can do, you'd try and get rid of him too."
Theo rubbed his forehead. "Be that as it may Bugie, all we have done since he has gotten here was hunt him down. How would you feel if you were being threatened in such a way?"
Bugie shook his head. "I wouldn't like it Theo. I would be willing to call off the bounty on the Weresmilodon, if it wasn't for the fact that he's kidnapped three people, including busting a criminal out of jail that has a grudge against your family. AND, don't forget that he's defeated Weaponsmaster Tsunami. You all know that he is one of the most LETHAL Weaponsmasters of all of Jade. The fact that there was only a little blood that wasn't his on the ground suggests that this Weresmilodon is VERY dangerous to the populous."
Theo groaned, he knew where this was going. "So you can see Theo, while we all respect your ideals, it has no place here. We have to do what's best for the populous at large."
Theo shook his head. 'I think you're making a mistake friend.'
