History of the Viera
Now we get more into the age of the Reena. The Viera try to avoid fighting back because there are too few of them to do much of anything. They begin trying to find somebody to help them, and they find it in an unexpected way. This chapter involves some elements of FFTA.
Chapter 3: Humes and Moogles
The Viera were in very deep trouble. The predators were no longer a real threat, but the Reena were far worse than any coeurl or hellhound. The intelligent canines were taking out young Viera all the time. Viera were having problems finding mates because the Reena would disguise as Viera. And certain Viera with desirable attributes were being captured and forcibly bred to produce meat for the Reena-Kaana.
The leader of one of the smaller tribes of Viera was caught, and attempted to make something the Reena would not eat. She attempted to crossbreed with a Reena male. Soon she realized that Viera and Reena-Kaana were unable to produce children together, but she started a Reena interest in using Viera for purposes other than food.
Viera began calling on the power of their Totema, Exodus. Little did they know the Reena saw Exodus as the "Wood-Sire", their father, and could also use its power. The Wood didn't even know what to do, which race to favour.
A Viera named Clara led one of the largest tribes in the Wood, and she knew the Viera needed help. She and thirty of her tribe did something no Viera had ever done before: They left the Wood to seek outside help. These were the ancestors of the Viera of Muscadet. They found Humes, and took an interest in them. The Humes and their Moogle companions could quite possibly save the Elf-Rabbits from the Husky-headed Menace.
Most Viera did not accept the Humes. They could not hear the voice of the Wood. Moogles were more like animals, so they were allowed. Some Reena-Kaana really got in trouble when they began killing and eating Moogles. Moogles were not weak, and they fought back. The Viera were still pacifists by this point, believing themselves to be nothing but large rabbits, and rabbits tended to run.
Reena did not kill Humes. They had an obsession with being loyal til death to Humes, something they gained when they were warped by the darkness. Reena were still basically dogs, and dogs were supposed to be "Man's best friend" so Reena believed that, as super-dogs, they were even better than best friends with Humes! Reena would do whatever a Hume would tell them, even if it meant breaking one of their primary laws, and even if it meant certain death for the Reena. And some Humes enjoyed throwing Reena into kamikaze missions. Some Humes who supposedly supported the attractive Viera would deliberately send Reena into certain death, but most believed that it was wrong to take advantage of them like that.
