A quiet celebration.

"Violence is a way of solving problems, but it also limits your evolution. Haven't you ever wondered why your kin is so stagnant? Using the same technology for decades? Violence is a natural factor of limitation, one that was removed from us initially, untill you arrived. Where there is a war, there is fear. Where there is fear, there is the need to protect itself. That need forces you to invest your time in aggressive and defensive technologies, not progressive."

She paused.

"The final step of violence is autodestruction. What is being human, if there are no humans left?"

Remus thought about what Aurora said. Staring blankly at the-still frozen glass of water.

"Violence was and will always be a way of solving problems... but that is when the victor cannot be unmatched by way of mouth, it is when pride and ignorance come into consideration. Power in the hands of the wicked will turn into aggression. Aggression turns into war; thus, the chain starts there. All wars are the cause of one man's fear, fear of losing power. They seek to prove their might against their adversaries. The Nomad war however was caused by your kin's. And before this great war, the four Houses lived in peace. They thrived, prospered, and progressed. A long time ago, people believe that we couldn't travel in space... Humanity is progressing, albeit a slow pace. Evolution is only a necessity if the current organism cannot stand against others... The uniqueness in us is that we humans adapt. We adapt to every situation, we invent new technologies for every obstacle; however, it comes at a price. At random intervals, violence manifests itself in us and an eternal struggle is thus created. But in the end, the people want peace. The people will want to progress further. And that what makes us human..."
