“It is a curious thing, for monsters who would wish to utilize the one thing they lack in proportion to humans, for they cannot handle it. If they attempt to, they will melt, and it is this exact weakness that they attempt to make up for that gives them the greatest potential to become the connotations of their namesake. Ironically, I believe the monster’s natural affinities for magic, compassion, love and mercy to be a necessary evolution of their essence, for what other choice do they have? With power one only needs to reject their sense of virtue to accomplish everything. Monsters cannot, and thus trend more towards goodness. They are not without their flaws, or fears which lead to vices. They are relatable here…but they are to be pitied. Intelligence matters more than strength, for they must seek ways to find loopholes within the laws of nature to handle the amount of determination needed to pose a serious threat to humans, and even these can be countered through the innate capability of a human to change fate when in an isolated system that contains only monsters. That is why I do not particularly worry for them. Their fate is their own, and I sense it to be a good one, whatever the circumstance. Their souls trend towards goodness in the end for they have little other choice. Humans possess power, and if they so choose they can impose it over others, even each other, and they do so regularly. When utilizing a monster soul, the potential for vast destruction is great. It would be much safer then for both humans and monsters sakes if they are kept apart, for any ambitious human may yet find it within themselves to try and take the world by storm.
Should I tolerate the death of humankind, I would not allow it if it came at the expense of the corruption of monsters - Humans alone carry that potential. The inherent differences in capability are sure to cause envy, and with time, compromise. This corruption would take away the one advantage monsters have over humans, save for their capability for magic, an art which will soon to fade from human memory forever. Without it the one hope for both peoples would be lost. Monsters will, reliably, always have a good side, even if they would attempt to bury it deep inside. Humans can shut that out forever, given enough time…and determination. There can be no redemption, no renewal, there. But this goodness is stronger than any physical weakness monsters may possess, for without it the world is reduced to a power struggle, and the one more willing to use it in more perverse ways generally tend to win. The logical conclusion of this paradigm is inevitable. Even a monster, or something worse than they, would surely conclude that without virtue the world is reduced merely to ‘kill or be killed’.”
