Post Apocalyptic Musings
by Simon W.
The Apocalypse War has ended, and we lost.
Very few Garou will tell you that. But we are living in a post-apocalyptic world now. And it is as much as a struggle as you might expect from such a time and place.
It's not the first time in the history of the Nation that we have lost the war though. Every time we fight it, we lose. You see, it is the job of the Nation to fight against the enemies of Gaia and to defend Her.
It is not our job to win.
You will tell me that these are just the bitter words of an old woman who has seen much and lost much. But I don't say these things to discourage you! No, I want you to listen to me and learn.
We have lost the war. The war is done. Now it's time to work; because despite the propaganda that it would be otherwise the world is still here and Gaia still needs us. The world is going to shit so I need you to take your Honor and take your Glory and use them to pick up a shovel and give me a hand!
There are people to feed.
There are wolves to protect.
There is land that needs restoring and there is water that needs purifying.
It is hard, boring work and no one is going to sing about it when you're done. In fact, it might even go completely unnoticed by your contemporaries. But it is the work that ensures that Gaia survives; that life continues, and that anyone will ever sing anything in the future.
So I ask you to join me. Because the Apocalypse has come and gone but we have a world to rebuild from the devastation. And I, for one, intend to do my fair share.
