Chapter 14 - Chapter 14 The Grievance between Vampires and Werewolves

It's the first time that they hold different statements on the common question, when they are discussing on the question if werewolf can get married with vampire?

Solar: Someone in love gets married; most of people in love get married; the old and the young, the poor and the rich, anyone in love gets married. I don't understand why werewolf and vampire in love can't get married?

Lunar: True love has no boundaries, despite of the differences of age, financial situation, nationality, color and even gender. The young can fall in love with the old; the prince can fall in love with gray girl; the British can fall in love with the French; the white can fall in love with the black; the lesbian girl can fall in love with a lesbian girl.

Solar: I totally agree with you. But I'd like to add one more point. True love has no boundaries, despite of the difference of clan. Wizard or witch can fall in love with muggle; werewolf can fall in love with muggle; vampire can fall in love with muggle; werewolf can fall in love with vampire.

Lunar: I agree with most of your views, except for the relationship between vampire and werewolf.

Solar: May I ask what reasons you can't agree with the relationship between vampire and werewolf?

Lunar: Firstly, it's a forbidden relationship between vampire and werewolf; secondly, it's an unknown problem what kind of species their children might be; thirdly, it's a centuries-old grievance between vampires and werewolves.

Solar: Forbidden relationship is a relationship forbidden by legal laws, religious rules or social norms.

Lunar: May you please tell me what relationships are forbidden by legal laws.

Solar: The people with close blood can't legally get married, because they are relatives; the people in love under 18 can't legally get married, because they are too young for marriage; the people in a marriage cheated can't legally get married, because they are committing a kind of sin called adultery.

Lunar: Interesting. I don't like the laws, but I have to admit that the laws exist for some reasons. If there was laws broken, there would be a series of moral problems. May you please tell me what relationships are forbidden by religious rules?

Solar: Based on their global influence and number of adherents, three major religions in today's world wildly recognized are Christianity, Islam and Buddhism. Based on their religious rules, three religions have different strict rules on marriage. In Christianity, priests or nuns who are taken vows, are forbidden to get married; In Islam, a muslim who believes Islam, is forbidden to get married with a non-faith woman who doesn't believe Islam, unless he deserts his faith; In Buddhism, monks or Buddhist nuns who are taken vows in Buddhism, are forbidden to get married.

Lunar: If there was rules broken, what kind of publishment might they deserve?

Solar: Nothing good. I heard about a story. In Scarlet Letter, a woman cheated had an affair with the father. When their affair was discovered, she was forced to stand on town's scaffold in front of the public, with a scarlet letter "A" on her breast, which means adultery, which is a mark of shame that she's gonna wear for the rest of her life.

Lunar: What kind of punishment might the father deserve?

Solar: Nothing good. When she was forced to tell the identity of her daughter's father, she remained silent. As his daughter's father, the father couldn't be able to recognize his daughter, and he's gonna feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Lunar: May you please tell me what relationships are forbidden by social norms?

Solar: Due to inherent power differential and the risk of coercion, some relationships are forbidden by professional ethics or sometimes by laws. Supervisor is forbidden to get married with subordinate; therapist is forbidden to get married with client; teacher is forbidden to get married with student.

Lunar: Due to concept differential and centuries-old grievance, vampire is forbidden to get married with werewolf.

Solar: What is the concept differential between vampires and werewolves?

Lunar: Vampires privileged with immortality, they don't think they are better than all the others, but just think they are better than huge dogs; werewolves privileged with shapeshifting, they don't think vampires are living creatures, but just think vampires are the walking cold corpses.

Solar: I am a werewolf, but I don't think vampires are the walking cold corpses, because the vampire I know about, is a beautiful and patient teacher.

Lunar: I am a vampire, but I change my point of view on werewolves. I once thought they are huge dogs with stink smells and bad tempers, but now I think differently, because the werewolf I know about, is a handsome and gentle student.

Solar: Miss Tudor, may I ask you a question?

Lunar: You may.

Solar: What reasons would both clans continue the centuries-old grievance between vampires and werewolves?

Lunar: Overseas colonial territories, the throne of the Dark Church, and the seal of the forbidden forest, are three major reasons to last the centuries-old grievance between vampires and werewolves.

Solar: Why would overseas colonial territories be related?

Lunar: The first vampires privileged with immortality, were thirteen loyal knights, who were taken vows in serving British royal family; the first werewolves privileged with shapeshifting, were seven knights, who were taken vows in serving French royal family; both sides expanded their territories and fought for overseas colonial territories.

Solar: Why would the throne of the Dark Church be related?

Lunar: I, who created vampire clan, was required to fight for vampire clan's resources; the wizard king, who created werewolf clan, was also required to do the same thing for werewolf clan; the throne of the Dark Church, would be a great support for each clan's development, which was why we had to defeat one another.

Solar: I understand why would the seal of the forbidden forest be related.

Lunar: Tell me.

Solar: In the fighting for the throne of the Dark Church, the winner, who inherited the throne of the Dark Church, crowned as the wizard king. The loser, who got sealed in the forbidden forest, fell into a long nap. Yet the grievance between both clans is still lasting for centuries, as long as you are being sealed in the forbidden forest.
