"Imagine you are a mortal and live in a village with 50 other villagers. You don't have any sort of real societal standards and norms, and the strongest person in the village is the leader."

"One day, you find the offspring of a very powerful beast, which is far more powerful than any member of the council."
"You nurture it, and it follows you."
"Yet, it doesn't completely follow your commands, and you know that there is a chance that it might attack you and everyone else. After all, it is still a wild beast."
"But maybe, it will also help you."
