Why do you think we actually accepted the monsters' surrender?

Sure, sure, not EVERY monster was evil. But the fact still stands that if even ONE, maybe TWO evil monsters use this power, we all die. Oh, the good monsters resist because it's the right thing to do? The evil monster can just kill them all off. But, you make a VERY good point about the monster not knowing they could absorb a human soul-We know for a FACT they can't absorb monster souls, so how could they somehow know they CAN absorb something MUCH more powerful, no problem? Perhaps the original monster wasn't evil, after all!

But, you see, the monsters are actually safer Underground than on the Surface. Just a few monsters could commit genocide on their entire race with a human soul. It's not necessarily that the monsters themselves are an evil race, but that humans and monsters just don't belong together, because the evil few can just steal a human soul, and abuse that power to kill humans, and the good majority, even, But the monsters didn't want to move Underground where they'll never see a human ever again.. So, they had to make it that way by force.

However, why the humans didn't make it so they can't cross the barrier to end up Underground too, I don't know. Maybe it was just in case they missed some monsters when the barrier was created. After all, we wouldn't want some monsters still on the Surface that we missed to attack the humans and take a soul! (Hey, if a monster can pass through by falling down, a human could too as a side effect, humans are more powerful.) If we could tell for a fact we got them all though, that was a big mistake on the human side, that I wouldn't support.

Remember what I said on post one:We declared war because if even ONE evil monster abused this power, humanity may as well be doomed. I still stand by that-It was defense against this very real threat.
