I did not know that. However, surely a human child is no threat to one as powerful as yourself? And they are young. Of course they would try to aid their family. Children know no better. But they can learn. [Dan Heng never had parents himself, but he was never given the chance to prove himself to be better than his predecessor. And Yingxing...was raised by the Borisin for a time, before escaping. Before becoming a world-famous blacksmith, making weapons to combat what hurt him so. So that others wouldn't have to endure what he did.]
They have. I have experienced that cruelty myself. It is not the first time I have, either. Even for survival's sake, the villagers were wrong for what they did. But you will find that humans, in their short lives, are capable of learning and enacting great wonders and kindness as well. Especially at a young age; it is easier to learn and grow past the teachings of their predecessors.
...Please do not put words in my mouth. I am just as keen on defending the Imugi young as I do these children. Remember, I share a draconic lineage with them. I visit their incubators whenever I can. But this has little to do with bias. [He missed what Ratio said in the argument back then, but he's quite sure no one threatened to just kill the eggs and be rid of them, like Godzilla is suggesting with the human children. ...Well, Silco might have. But that's Silco.]
You do not have to like it. I understand the situation is upsetting to you. You have good points. These children can be dangerous. But I am begging you to give them a chance to live. To grow past the teachings of their parentage. Please. You do not have to be involved in their upbringing, you do not have to be near them. I will watch them closely, as will others like Wolfwood and Dr. Ratio.
Give them time. We've taken them back with us, we will handle whatever outcomes they bring.
