Now, in my normal voice, "All beings do this, but the mortals take it a step further; they kill, pillage, lie, and violate their kind for their selfish ideals and beliefs. They warped the line between what is right and wrong when |_ _ _| gave them free will. That mistake was given to mortals, and only when that abomination is gone will it disappear."

I let out a sigh as I proceeded.

"I understand your affection for mortals; after all, I assigned you the duty of supervising them and ensuring they do not stray and transform into something they are not meant to be. You know them better than I do. However, the difference between us is that I am not interested in instructing them to improve. Let them remain under my influence, under my firm control."

Switching voices again, this time to a young child, I continued my rant.

"Why bother teaching a dog a trick if it refuses to learn it?"

Returning to my original voice, "That is a saying from the mortals you care more for than your existence."

Adam gazed up at me, and I noticed a look of sorrow I had never witnessed before. Rising to his full height, he met me at eye level.

"I do comprehend the virtues and vices of mortal kind. I am aware of the good they can accomplish with proper guidance and the atrocities they can commit if not educated. You have witnessed firsthand what immortals are capable of as well, like the dragons and like |_ _ _|. No being is flawless; you and I are no exception. We make errors and learn from them. That is what it means to be alive, and the sole difference between mortals and us is that they lack the wisdom to comprehend the bigger picture and the consequences of their actions. Please, stop this madness."
