"It's a normal day for us to be called ignorant. People think the others are better than we are. They think that just because people knew about them first that gives them seniority. I usually have nothing to say about this but today I couldn't.
I can tell you stories about what the seven of us have seen. What the seven of us have been through. Before modern medicine was a factor, I had to watch as people died in Cress's arms and she fought to do whatever she could to save them. She used to cry for days on end because there was literally nothing she could do.
I can tell you stories about the people who feared Rai so much that they thought him to be a God of Death. Children were left to die in his forest. He probably cried more than Cress did.
No one knows the things we've seen. So when they tell us that we know nothing...that we are the newest most ignorant creatures they've met…
I've seen entire countries rise and fall, empires destroy themselves. I've seen the earth take back it's land and give some up. So don't tell us we don't matter...don't tell us that we know nothing…
We've seen everything….." -Heatran
