Yes, you heard me. I am on the human side of this conflict between humans and monsters, and am here to say that it was RIGHT to wage war against the monsters! Here's why.

Now, according the ancient writings in Waterfall, we declared war against the monsters because of their ability to take a human soul, and turn into a beast of unfathomable power. This is correct. That IS why.

However, this wasn't just a response of fearing the unknown, or being nativist like some may suggest. After all, humans and monsters have lived peacefully for centuries with no real problems. Why did we attack when we did, instead of a lot sooner? Because.. A monster actually DID kill a human, take its soul, and become a beast of unfathomable power. And no, I'm not talking about Prince Asriel. That happened AFTER the war, and is a completely different story.

I'm talking BEFORE the war. "But human! There's no evidence that any monster did this in the game!" There IS, but we need to piece things together to figure it out. We already know the ancient writings were made before Chara fell, if they were made afterwards, the writings wouldn't say there are no entrances or exits for a human to fall. So, who is the strange creature depicted in one of the ancient writings, about the war between humans and monsters? It can't be Asriel, since that was AFTER Chara fell.. Which also means it can't be after the war, since Chara was the first fallen human. This creature had to have existed BEFORE the war. And, since the picture was in reference to a monster with a human soul, then it's very likely this is also depicting a monster with a human soul. The strange creature in Waterfall, therefore, must have been a monster taking a human soul, either before or during the war.

But, the same writings say not a single soul was taken during the war! So it couldn't be DURING the war! It has to be BEFORE the war! This means the monsters attacked the humans FIRST! The humans were only protecting their race from extinction! Hence, the war is justified, they did what they had to do to SURVIVE. If even a few monsters followed suit, or the same monster killed more humans, humans would be GONE.
