To be honest, I wouldn't have played fair in such a war. Magic-hunting humans and elves would find out shrapnel feels like. *redone to fix the duck's formatting bug/feature*

Reminds me of that scene in Pan's Labyrinth where the dad beats the son in the head to death, is called a depraved murderer, and then shoots the dad to confirm his brutality. He was a "good guy", too, fighting the Spanish communists, the mortal enemy of his government. If you haven't seen the movie, it's a nice little fantasy movie with some dramatized history thrown in. The scene was specifically setup to make you understand why people wanted to put people like that down like dogs, after WWII. The brutality in the Nazi camps, where the prisoners used the guard's own favorite - piano wire - to execute them in revenge for all the people they hung. I can only imagine how some of those guards 'cried like a b****' when they realized it was their turn. Some took it stoically though... Realized it was a 'fair cop' and it would only make them look pathetic.

The realization that a furred child could kill a bunch of elves must have made the other furred races realize that they could fight back and win, the same as what happened on a smaller scale when Lan killed those two hunters on culling day with only the use of shape-shifting... http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/public_humiliation/5388385/

I always wondered what the bad guys side of the story is, and yes his friends are his claws in this case,, warmwind suggested the name was dripped in blood when he offered to show someone how the family got there name, chef mankiller did/said something simile once :)

@Mr. Kaos, how else are you going to convince a child to cooperate who was told not to by a parent? And to the eyes of those who retained any amount of power, they are in fact the goodguys, they are victorious so they may write history however they choose, and they chose to write it as "We are punishing an entire race for unspecified crimes because the 'gods' want us to so our path must be good so we are the good-guys" the cliche theme "the good guys always win" has a MUCH darker and real meaning then what we attribute it to, I see it as another way of saying not only is history written by the victor but that everyone likes to see themselves as the good guy and will record it as such, regardless of the horrors they commit in that period of time

With the help of a live broadcast, and satellite communication so he can speak at the embassy, the live broadcast so everyone can see the discussion, all he has to do is offer that they sign him the full legal rights as any citizen is guaranteed, from the moment the agreement is signed on, in the human territory already, and a few reasonable extras, like being transported by centaurs to the court room spiced up with the generic statement that after after the hearing all property deemed stolen will be negotiated for the return to the rightful owners of said property or monetary equivalent, and he has himself a briar patch, He is already in a political stalemate position, Sagitar just has to allow herself to appear cornered to make it believable, then again they think its a matter of time before she gives in anyways...

Well there are two wzys this ended, though concidering what has been alluded about Spencer's past I think i know which way it went, when the story has been told to others I always got the impression Blacky earned the name, now this explains why Spencer has been called a former outlaw, the world needs to be taught the lesson he learned that day, those in power are not always the good guys and bad things can happen at any time, the Pooka have 5 good friends, The zombies, the furs/centaurs/gators, the cheshires, the truth, and a thousand forms
