“Our ancestors were naive. They trusted humans; they thought that humans could live in harmony with werewolves… But they couldn’t. Humans ruin everything.” She paused, and walked over to the third panel. “After hundreds of years of peace, the humans got too cocky for their own good. Their egos grew.
