Liora Scheh – Tales of the Past (SR – Teaching Robes) [Location: Fablewood Academy – Lorecraft Classroom]
Liora: (Standing before the class, his tone captivating and serious) "Today, we delve into a story that shaped the relationship between humans and beastfolk—a tale from a time when tensions were high and trust was scarce. The story of Little Red Riding Hood."
Liora: "Long ago, in the heart of Beasthaven, a human family settled amidst the beastfolk. This was not an easy time, mind you. Although a century had passed since humans first mistreated the beastfolk—seeing them as mere animals—memories of those injustices lingered."
Liora waves his hand, and golden threads begin to form a scene of a peaceful village nestled among woods teeming with life.
Liora: "The humans who had defended beastfolk, fighting for their rights and recognition, were viewed as allies by many. However, not all beastfolk had forgiven. The wounds of the past ran deep."
The threads shift, showing a small cottage in the woods, where a young girl with a bright red cloak visits her grandmother.
Liora: "Our story centers on a young girl, known by all as Little Red Riding Hood. Her family, descendants of those who once defended the beastfolk’s cause, had chosen to live among them in Beasthaven. Her grandmother, a remarkable woman, had fought alongside beastfolk for their freedom and respect."
Liora gestures again, and the image changes to a looming wolf beastman with sharp eyes, stalking through the woods.
Liora: "But not everyone was ready for peace. Among the beastfolk was a wolf, embittered by the past, who saw all humans as enemies, even thoses who defended them. He harbored a deep grudge, his mind clouded by memories of mistreatment. When he encountered Little Red Riding Hood, his hatred overcame him, and he plotted to harm her."
The scene shows the wolf approaching the grandmother’s cottage, sinister and determined.
Liora: "He devoured her grandmother and waited for Little Red, intending to do the same. It was a dark moment, one where old wounds threatened to destroy new beginnings."
The threads now form the image of a mighty bear beastman, standing tall and fierce, approaching the cottage with determination.
Liora: "Enter the hunter—a beastman of the bear clan. He had witnessed the progress made between humans and beastfolk and could not stand by while hatred threatened to undo it. The hunter confronted the wolf, saving both Little Red and her grandmother, a powerful act that symbolized unity and hope."
The scene fades, leaving the classroom in thoughtful silence.
Liora: "This tale, dear students, is not just a story of heroism. It’s a reminder of how history can shape our present. It shows us the importance of forgiveness and the strength found in unity, even when it seems impossible."
He looks around, his eyes meeting those of his students.
Liora: "So, what do we learn from this? That progress is fragile but vital. That trust can be rebuilt, even after betrayal. And that, sometimes, the bravest acts come from those who choose peace over vengeance."
He lets the golden threads dissolve, and the room returns to the present, filled with a quiet sense of reflection.
Liora: "Now, let’s discuss. How do you think the actions of the hunter shaped future relations between humans and beastfolk? What would have happened if no one had stepped in?"
[Mahdi]: (perking up) "I believe it helped ease tensions between the two groups significantly. If no one had intervened, or if a human had been the one to save them, the story might have been twisted, reinforcing human prejudices against beastfolk. The fact that a bear beastman stepped in ensured the truth was undeniable—he had no reason to turn against his own kind unless it was truly just."
Liora smiles warmly, signaling the end of the lesson, as the students begin to discuss the story among themselves.
