Also, it seems like the Neighbors choose to enslave the inhumi, much like humans were doing to each other. They were wiped out because of it. I see no evidence of the neighbors having" rid yourself of them by being so passive…they’d take on
your Christ-like willingness to sacrifice yourself." They failed in that regard spectacularly, apparently. However, Silk/Horn taking one as a son, and maybe being the first being to actually LOVE another inhumi, is the christlike action, that 'changes the rules' as hide says at the end of the Whorl.<br>
<br>It is the Love for the inhumi that gives the possibility of their redemption and the ending of the cycle. At least it seems so to me.<br><br><br>
