The Hunting of House Bouchard

Written by: Lirelan

Addressed to: Everyone


I do not have any spiffy titles. I am not someone with rank. Honestly, I
am happy being the equivalent to a peasant, or everyday Joe. Without all
those flashy titles to worry about, I find myself to be a somewhat
rational, thinking Consanguine. As such, I find myself repeatedly
asking, Why?
Why is the Imperium hunting down those of House Bouchard?
Why can they not simply accept that House Bouchard wishes to stand
independent of them?
In a way, the Imperium is like a parent to our entire race. Instead of
being proud of their independent children however, you seem to be
choosing to act instead like an incoherent, abusive and unreasoning
child. I find myself more-and-more agreeing with the words of those
older and wiser then me. The Imperium is like a schoolyard bully, denied
what he wants he seeks to find those close to the one who denied him,
who are also weaker then him and then inflict pain.
After keeping up with the news and watching the streams of deaths, I can
only come to one conclusion. It seems to me the hunt of House Bouchard
is nothing more than a farce, an excuse to begin to try and repress all
who arent under the Imperial thumb.
For all these deaths the only excuse being, Bouchards refusal to bend
beneath the wrinkled and ancient hands of the Empire, their desire to
not become another puppet on a string, dancing to a faint and feeble
tune.
But perhaps I am wrong. If this is so I must again inquire, Why? If such
is the case and there is a real, legitimate, and sane reason for all
this death and mayhem, simply share your reasonings

If I have offended someone, simply tell me, and if you have a legitimate
reason I shouldnt have said something I did, I will apologize. However,
if I find myself hunted for sharing my opinions, and asking questions,
as the young are want to do, all I can say is this, I die with honor,
despite those who would kill me lacking there of.
