Underground Article Circulating Across the City

  Three weeks ago, a group of citizens was executed under the authority of Leader Cazaro for the crime of practicing religion.

  Doctor Eric Crass was publicly hung after being accused of leading an illegal religious gathering. Authorities claim the group was discovered inside a church building where they were found peacefully praying.

  The individuals executed for this act were:

  Doctor Eric Crass

  Chris Prosper

  Davis Prosper

  Michael Jacobs

  Mary Hawthorne

  Daniel Hawthorne

  Cally Jasper

  Mia Davids

  These eight citizens were arrested together and charged with treason under current anti-religion laws.

  But the punishment did not stop with them.

  Because of the alleged crime, their families were also targeted by the state.

  Spouses and adult children connected to the accused were executed shortly after the arrests. Underage children were removed from their homes and placed under state supervision. Officials claim this is to ensure that “dangerous ideological beliefs” are not passed to the next generation.

  Homes belonging to the accused families were burned.

  Businesses connected to them were boarded shut.

  Their names have been erased from public records.

  Their lives reduced to warnings.

  Leader Cazaro has stated this action was necessary to maintain order and stability within human and vampire society.

  But we must ask a simple question.

  Why would the most powerful ruler in the world fear a handful of humans praying quietly in a church?

  Why would a government powerful enough to rule both species feel threatened by eight peaceful people?

  Because fear often hides behind power.

  Cazaro, the leader who claims to be fearless, was terrified of something far smaller than himself.

  He was afraid of humans believing in something he could not control.

  This execution was not justice.

  It was intimidation.

  A warning meant to scare the rest of you into silence.

  But understand what truly happened here.

  If eight peaceful people praying together frightened the most powerful vampire alive, then humans may be far stronger than we have been led to believe.

  And if a ruler must burn homes and kill families to maintain control, then perhaps the ruler is not strong at all.

  Perhaps he is simply afraid.
