Part 35: Wolf in Sheep's clothing
FLASHBACK AROUND 20 YEARS AGO
There once lived a black goat among a herd of white sheep. The black goat, never really fit in. He was always isolated. Whenever something bad happened, the black goat was blamed. He had no mom and dad. All the sheep treated him poorly. They showed him every single day that he didn't belong.
But the Shepard, he was a good man. He brought him water and food and always stroked the Goats chin. The Black Goat loved his Shepard like a father. He trusted him. Sometimes he even gave him extra treats. The Sheep were jealous of the Goats relationship with the shepard.

But on a stormy night, the Shepard picked up the Black Goat from the enclosure with a sad face and took him up a mountain. Rain, thunder and lightning struck from above. The Goat wasn't sure where his father took him, but he trusted nevertheless. At the summit of the mountain, there was an altar erected.
The Shepard placed the young Goat on the Altar, as lightning struck the earth. The Shepard caressed the Goats fur with a sad smile. The Shepard took out a knife, shining in the moonlight. The rain drops stopped. Everything became quiet. The Black Goat looked at the Shepard with big eyes.
“Is everything okay, Master?”
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-otuqfbfgm6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9e7ed66a53525fb441715cbcff9fd2a95b38df6]
The Shepard closed his eyes, took a deep breath and prayed. He spoke words in an ancient tongue to a god, whose name is long forgotten. The devoted shepard held up his knife high and aimed for his pet. The Goat realized in the last moment what was happening and dodged the knife attack. He escaped between the Shepard's legs.
“What is wrong Master? Why are you attacking me?”
The Shepard turned around and attacked the Goat with his knife once again. But the Goat pushed him away with his horns. The Shepard lost balance and fell off the cliff down into his death.
The Black Goat didn't know what to do. He felt so many emotions, all at once. Fear. Betrayal. Confusion. Anger. Shock. Regret.
“Wh- What have I done? What have I done? What have I done?”
The Black Goat ran away. With tears in his eyes. He had no idea where to go next. Not back to the sheep, who hated him. How should he explain the Shepard's absence? No way.
There was no going back, so the Goat ran and ran. He wandered off to many different places. But wherever he went, he was either abused, exploited or abandoned. But to most animals, he was just invisible. Until he realized how to get the attention, that he desired. By crying, by complaining, by criticizing, by provoking, by mocking, by boring others about trivialities.
And so he went from farm to farm, draining all energy, until it was depleted and moved over to the next farm. Until he found a place, where it was easiest to absorb energy. A place, where he could drain other peoples energy just by throwing negative comments. A place, where many energy vampires gather: The Red Ditch Inn.
PRESENT MOMENT
On the farm of the SEEKER OF LOVE, the Seeker and the Mysterious Stranger stand in a crowd around a white goat with a book in his hand.
“Is this the same Goat from the Big Shift?” questions the Seeker amazed.
The Goat catches the gaze of the Seeker and looks at them. The Goats face turns into a smile.
“Oh! It's You! My friends.”
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-qfkt7vk4n6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=550d0be7a097b7550375856050d4e4bfd43e4d71]
The Goat approaches them. The Seeker is on guard. Protecting their energy. But the Goat goes for a warm hug instead. The Seeker is surprised, that they don't lose any vibes.
“I am so happy to see that you are well, my old friend,” greets the Goat the Seeker with a warm smile.
“Th-Thank you. Nice to see you as well... You have changed... Do you have a new haircut or something?”
The Goat laughs. “Ah this is a long story. Do you perhaps have a moment to listen?”
“Uhm... Yeah... I guess...”
The Goat points at one of the sheep.
“Martha. Would you be so kind, to prepare for me and our friend here a kettle of tea?”
The Sheep nods and rushes to the kitchen. The White Goat meanwhile takes the Seeker into the farms living room, leads them by the shoulder to a table and moves a chair for them to sit down. The Goat sits down opposite and takes off his glasses.
“Have you ever heard the story of the SEEKER OF LOVE?” questions the Goat the Seeker in a serious tone.
“No,” reacts the Seeker emotionless, while inwardly thinking:
'Oh my god... please don't try to convert me to your religion.'
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-e2fyeq36o6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=935087cbfe33f1537efc16d7a84633e4ba297063]
“I used to be a sinner,” begins the Goat his monologue. The Seeker sighs, already regretting sitting down with the Goat. Their eyelids start feeling heavy.
“I took whatever I desired, without any consideration of what it did to me. Of how I will be judged for it. I used to hurt other people, without thinking about the consequences. Without thinking of what will happen to me after I die.
This was before I learned about the abyss by Father Fowl. The abyss is a place, where those who sin, are tortured after their death. And because we are all sinners and it is impossible to improve ourselves, the only way to be saved is by believing in the SEEKER OF LOVE who died on the Tree for our sins. We don't need to face punishment for our actions, because a scapegoat was sacrificed instead of us. And so we can continue in our selfish ways, because our belief protects us.
What do you say, Seeker? Do you want a 'get-out-of-jail-free-card'? If so, I will baptize you to install the 'Religious Mind' into your system.”
The Seeker gets up and shakes their head.
“I already had the 'Religious Mind' installed once. Not my thing. So I deleted it again.”
The Goat laughs. “Oh silly. You can't just delete the 'Religious mind'. It's too deep. Part of it will stay in you forever. No antivirus can ever fully get rid of it. Now if you were to decide to install our SEEKER OF LOVE add-on however...”
“Stop it,” speaks the Seeker, leaving the table. “I am not interested.”
The Seeker faces the door. but the Goat rushes over and stands in-between.
“Wait a second... before you go, perhaps I can invite you to our church and show you around. You must meet Father Fowl, he is a great Preacher. The chapel is not far away from here. We can even fast travel.”
MAIN QUEST UPDATED
* Talk with Goat
* Visit Church of The Seeker of Love (Optional: Use Fast Travel)

After some time of loading, the Seeker, the Stranger and the Goat stand in front of a wooden chapel. The Goat opens the door, the other two follow. The Seeker hears a loud, deep voice, echoing in the entrance corridor. All rows are full with listeners. A preacher stands at the altar and speaks. His appearance reminds the Seeker of a sheep, but something is odd about him.
The preacher speaks:
“Beware the Abyss! The Abyss is the land of no return. If you fall into it, there is no way back. The Abyss is a place of everlasting pain. The abyss is suffering. The abyss is nihilism. The abyss is darkness. And the only way to be save from the lingering shadow of the abyss, is by strictly following the instructions of our organization and never questioning its belief-system. If you even think about logical loopholes in our ancient texts, you will fall into the abyss after your death! Anyway... We'd be very happy for a small donation. Remember, it might just be a couple of coins for you, but it's a lot for our beloved goddess.”
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-2a834jg2r6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f657e811b47c78c9346f1ba3c0d648330ecc3a3]
Two young lambs go through the rows and collect the taxes. The Seeker hears many coins tinkling.
When it's the Seekers turn, they remember, how they were robbed 2 episodes ago.
“Sorry,” whispers the Seeker while feeling everyone's judgmental gaze.
All the people stand up from the benches and leave the church. When most visitors are gone, the Goat leads the Seeker and the Stranger up to the preacher.
He is currently talking with a sheep and her son.
“So your son is old enough to join the altar service?” asks the preacher with a drooling lip.
“Oh yes,” speaks the sheep mother excited.
“My son Shaun here, will one day be a preacher, just like you, Father Fowl.”
The preacher smiles and strokes through the lambs hair. The two tax collectors from earlier, grab the young lamb by his shoulder.
“Just follow the other adepts,” smiles father Fowl.
“Your two new friends here, will show you your room in the bsement.”
The young lamb follows the other altar servers downstairs. They walk down a stair case into the basement. As the mother sheep leaves, the Goat approaches the preacher.

“Father Fowl, may I introduce you to a friend of mine,” asks the Goat the preacher. “This is the Seeker.”
The Seeker shakes the Preachers hand. But the Stranger can't stop staring at the face of the preacher.
“This guy is a wolf,” points out the Stranger bluntly. Everyone looks at him, as if he had said something insane.
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-1wdz0wctr6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=148303159ef3d244163f58d756b30f38bfc963af]
“I am sure he didn't mean it that way,” reassures the horrified Goat to the offended Preacher. He then turns to the Stranger.
“You can't just call someone a 'wolf'. Do you have any idea how insulting that is around here? Look at his fuzzy hair! Does that look like a wolf to you?”
“Then why does he have such big teeth?” asks the Stranger.
“My parents couldn't afford braces,” responds Father Fowl.
“Then what about your pointy ears and your big eyes?” asks the Stranger.
“Ears to hear the songs of the SEEKER OF LOVE and eyes to marvel at her beauty,” responds the Preacher, as if he was quoting some verse.
“Okay... your answer didn't make any sense and something is definitely wrong with you,” responds the Stranger.
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-dhclaw4as6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6937ea1cb51bcd0e00683baae11bbb72b771d952]
The Goat interrupts the conversation.
“Anyway, Father Fowl... My friend here, the Seeker, has a hard time accepting our belief-system as the only valid representation of truth. Their disbelief disturbs me, because my faith is fragile. I need to convince the world in order to convince myself. This is why I expand around the globe – because I am insecure. I have hoped that you may show them the many benefits of joining our church.”
Father Fowl smiles and touches the Goats back.
“My dear child. Do you still remember how you used to be, when you first arrived here, two years ago? You were completely consumed by darkness. And now look at you. How much you have changed. Just let them follow you for one single day and soon they will beg to be baptized. For you, this should be an easy task.”
“Yes Sir, I will not disappoint you” salutes the Goat. He then faces the Seeker and the Stranger.
“Ready to knock on some doors?”

A beaver with glasses sits on a sofa in his wooden cottage and reads the newspaper, while his wife is preparing dinner, as he suddenly hears a knocking on the door. He gets up and opens the door. Outside stand the Seeker, the Stranger and the Goat in the middle with a wide smile and a book in his hand.
“Hello Sir, do you perhaps have a moment to talk about THE SEEKER OF LOVE?”
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-bzkjfiu3u6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7c4b146cf65275772389b8ff764dc4b5232ac91]
The Seeker is embarrassed to stand behind the Goat.
The beaver sighs annoyed.
“Margret!” he screams into the kitchen. “It's those guys again! I think they want to sell us vacuum cleaners.”
“We could need a new vacuum cleaner actually. Let them in, Harold. I'll prepare a kettle of tea.”
The Seeker, Stranger and Goat sit together with Harold, the beaver at the dining table. Margaret brings tea and sits herself next to her husband.
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-wcutonuuu6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4661f917ed9ca7b089c0e0593de32c4d34e1c7ab]
“Are you also from the vacuum cleaner company,” asks Margaret the Seeker.
“No, we are just here to witness,” responds the Seeker.
The Goat coughs and grabs all attention.
“What I am offering you, is a religious mind program. A belief system, that will allow you to bury your regrets and guilt under layers of illusions. A convenient relief of worrying about the lingering feeling of death. Furthermore, you will have the moral superior high ground, because you act under the authority of your own ego, reflected in an idolized form. This justifies any hate towards other religious groups, towards perceived 'sinners' and outsiders, who can't conform. So are you interested in being infected by my mind virus – I mean do you want install the thought pattern?”
The couple of elderly beavers are both suddenly very slim. Only skin and bones. As if all of their life force was sucked out of their bodies. Their eyelids are heavy. Both beavers feel tired.
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-vif9udkxu6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ea9d81d92062f1291a252230e82897774dc3c54]
Margaret yawns. “So you are not selling vacuum cleaners after all?”
Soon after the Seeker, Stranger and Goat leave the house behind. The Goat grins and waves, until the moment, that Harold closes the door. His face changes abruptly. The furious Goat kicks down the beavers mailbox aggressively. With every kick, the Goat spits out a new word:
“Those – Damned – Infidels – Why – Can't – They – Understand – That – I – AM – Trying – To – Help – Them?!!”
The Goat storms away angrily, leaving the bent and broken tin box behind.
After a full day of visiting various homes and being rejected by every single one of them, the trio returns back to the chapel.
“It used to be much easier to convert people,” rambles the Goat.
“Now all people are thinking about is 'science' and 'logic' and 'reason'... This shows once again, that we are approaching the collapse of civilization...”
As the Goat opens the door to the church, the halls are empty.
“I guess Father Fowl is preparing the evening sermon. I'll go get him. Why don't you two have a look around here.”
When the Goat leaves, the Stranger faces the Seeker.
“Let us have a look at the basement. This preacher is hiding something. I know it.”
MAIN QUEST UPDATED
* Accompany the Goat during his mission
* Discover Father Fowls Secret
The Stranger walks down the Staircase. The Seeker follows hesitantly.
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-147vjh9nv6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a249bdc827be6db8ae1f4f543814b12457d1cba9]
“I don't think, that we are supposed to be here,” worries the Seeker, as they step down the stone cold stairs into a dark, ancient hallway.
“What if we are being caught?”
The Stranger suddenly stops as he hears a noise coming from a closed door, with a sign that says 'DO NOT ENTER'. They hear munching and slurping.
“I bet this is where they keep their secrets,” speaks the Stranger. “The door is locked. Perhaps we'll find another way in.”
The Seeker suddenly notices a ventilation shaft. They crawl through the narrow space. Moving upwards, going left and right, until the Seeker and Stranger are directly above the secret room and can see the entire scene through the grid.
The Seeker gasps, as they observe how a big gray wolf and three smaller wolves devour a skinned lamb. It's a bloody mess. As the wolves are in a blood rush, organs, bones and tissue of the dead lamb fly around. The Seeker stares at the scene in terror. Struggling with their own gag reflex.
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-moyd028zw6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd35db770e60caa6cdded03f71da2161fb97b99b]
The bigger wolf sighs. His snout, fur and hands are covered with the blood of the young lamb, who should have started altar service. His belly is round as a ball. He uses a bone like a tooth pick and cleans his mouth with a napkin. The younger wolves also sigh relieved with blood all over them.
The older wolf gets up, grabs the sheep's skin, that hangs from a coat rack and gives it to the youngest wolf. “From now on, you listen to the name Shaun. When his mother wants to see her son, you will play your part. When you are old enough, we will send you as Priest to your own church.”
The young wolf nods, takes the skin and puts it on. The older wolf also takes another sheep's skin from the rack and puts it on as well.
“It's Father Fowl,” whispers the Seeker in disbelief.
“So he is a wolf after all... I would have never expected that... He was always so nice...”
The other wolves also put on sheep's clothing, leave the room and lock the door.
When they are alone, the Stranger speaks:
“We need to expose the Truth of what is going on here behind closed doors. This institution is corrupted to the core. Full of lies and Deceit. It's drenched with the blood of the Innocent. We need to stop this madness.”
“But what about the Goat?” questions the Seeker.
“He is happy. He is a better person. He treats others with politeness. He doesn't cry about his pain. He is a functional member of society. Why should we take this away from him. This innocent ignorance.”
“Because it is all based on lies,” responds the Stranger.
“Is he truly happy? Did he actually grow? Does he treat other people with love? Or is this all just a mask? Is he driven by love or is he driven by fear? Where does this fear come from? Who is it that uses fear in order to control? The Ego, right?
Lies can never save us. They only ever create distortion. No, only the truth can set us free. So we must cut through the lies. To cut through the webs of deceit with our flaming sword of Truth.”
r/We_Are_Humanity - Wolf in Sheep's clothing [https://preview.redd.it/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing-v0-owirvyrox6ud1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c0d7f434ff86c7fcbc39bbebe03e1a948a9c7af]
“I... I don't know...” admits the Seeker.
“I am just not sure if it's up to us to reveal it. Perhaps the Goat should discover it himself. Isn't this an invasion of his privacy?”
“What would a real friend do?” questions the Stranger.
“Tell the Truth or lie to protect them? It's up to you to find that out, Seeker.”
Suddenly the Seeker and the Stranger are shaken by the sound of the church organ playing a wonderful melody. Both get out of the ventilation shaft and sneak back up into the church hall. The Goat sits in the first row. He notices the Seeker. All listen as Father Fowl enters the stage and begins his sermon:
“To quote Song text fragment 233: 'The Truth shall be revealed, when the ears are ready to listen.' Many scholars have debated for hundreds of years what exactly is meant by this statement. Of course this is a reference to the doctrine of purity, which states that--”
Father Fowl is suddenly interrupted by the deep voice of the Stranger.
“You are a wolf in sheep's clothing!” accuses the Stranger the Priest. Everyone is in shock.
“I am not sure when your institution first corrupted, but I guess since it's very foundation there were already wolves in the midst. Who corrupted holy words. Who bent the Truth to make it more attractive. This organization is rotten to it's core. They speak of Love, but their hearts are dark. They bind themselves to a limited pattern. They build their identity around their belief system. Repression, conflict, fear, struggle, imitation, comparison, exploitation... Just to name a few of the symptoms.
Fowl is a wolf! Did seriously no one realize that it's an anagram... I mean seriously... It's obvious. The young lambs you send to church for altar service, end up in Father Fowls belly. They wear their skin and clothes and replace them.”

The entire audience gasps. Some elderly women faint. Others are outraged, including the Goat.
“Do you have any proof for these wild accusations?” shouts the Goat enraged.
“The Seeker and I, we have both witnessed it,” speaks the Stranger.
“They can testify.”
“Is that true?” asks the white Goat the SEEKER.

B: TELL A LIE

THE CANONICAL ENDING
“Yes...” confirms the Seeker with pain in their eyes. “It's all True. There is a hidden room in the dungeon downstairs. The remains of a lamb should still be there.”
Father Fowl laughs. “You are very funny. But please don't be ridiculous. No one will believe such nonsense from an outsider, such as you.”
“Then why don't you open the door in the basement and prove us wrong?” argues the Seeker.
Some of the farm animals among the rows start to chatter. The Goat is awfully silent.
Fowl shakes his head. “You are not buying into that, are you? As you know, the secret room is off-limits, since we are keeping there a holy relic of the Seeker of Love. Only servants of the church are allowed to see it.”
“Then show it to me,” speaks the Goat. Everyone is surprised. “If what the Seeker says is untrue, then you should have no problem with showing the room to me right? I can then confirm to everyone on your behalf, that it's all made up.”
“What are you doing?” asks Fowl the Goat with anger in his voice. “Why are you going against me?”
“I at least want to hear the Seeker out,” speaks the Goat. “And give them a fair chance.”
“I also trust the Seeker,” speaks a Sheep from the front rows, whom the Seeker helped with the crows.
“They deserve at least a chance to prove themselves,” speaks a calf, who was saved from the tyranny of the aggressive bull.
“We believe in the Seeker,” cheer a couple of chicken, fans of the golden Rooster.
“Yo,” speaks Pigeon Number 1. “Isn't that the Bro, who completely destroyed the Seagulls with his rhymes? Respect for that Fella. We are there for you, Bro.”
“See...” whispers the Stranger into the Seekers ear. “Doing side quests and going for optional missions, is worth it, after all.”
Father Fowl takes a look around. Everyone looks at him with piercing eyes. The wolf smiles, the facade falls down, he breaks out in manic laughter. He rips down the sheep's clothing and reveals his true appearance. The wolf reveals himself. Everyone gasps.
“Unbelievable. You got me. Yes, I am a wolf. Since Centuries, our organization is run by wolves in sheep's clothing. Over time, we replaced all sheep with wolves. And we built a system, that allowed for darkness to grow and thrive within us. And we gained power, wealth and lived like kings. When we were hungry, we ate. It was a perfect system. And it would have continued on forever, if it weren't for that damned Seeker and their strange hooded friend.”

Some of the pigs in uniform stand up to arrest the Wolf in their midst. But Fowl breaks the colored church glass and jumps through the window. The three younger wolves follow their leader. The slow pigs take up the chase.
Some of the visitors are in shock. Others don't know what to do. Some went down into the basement to clean up. Slowly the halls get empty, until only the Seeker, the Stranger and the Goat remain.
“What will you do next, now that you know the truth,” asks the Stranger the Goat.
“I feel betrayed,” responds the Goat. “I really trusted Fowl. He seemed like a genuinely decent person to me. Now I don't know, what to believe in anymore. Here I felt, as if I truly belong. Here I felt at home and secure. I was an accepted member of the community. But now it all breaks apart. What am I supposed to do with my life now?”
“You will find a way,” speaks the Stranger reassuringly to the Goat. “Whatever your life will look like, you will find your way to navigate yourself through your new circumstances.”
“But now I will be alone again,” sighs the Goat.
“Not necessary,” speaks the Stranger. “You can walk the path with us together.”
.
The Goat looks at the Seeker. “You were the first one to ever tell me the truth. You didn't trick me, or lied to me. I think... I can trust you... But don't get me wrong. I still have my own beliefs, my own opinions. No matter how many wolves hide themselves in sheep's clothing, this does not diminish my faith. I will keep on believing in the SEEKER OF LOVE, no matter what you guys may tell me.”
“I respect that,” speaks the Stranger. “You only walk as far as you want to walk. No one imposes anything on you. You can use your faith to connect with your higher aspects. You can use the image of your idol to access universal love. Belief-systems might be incomplete and limited, but if you truly walk with love, you are already much more advanced than most people. Your beliefs are just as valid, as anyone else and no one wants to take that away from you. But just as you speak your truth, we will speak ours. We just hope, that you don't get too attached to rigid dogmas, because it keeps you stuck from leveling up.”
The Goat nods and shakes the Seekers hand. “I will walk with you... For now... But never... Never betray my trust...”
The Goat gets absorbed into the Seekers energy.
