Hank and the Old Republic The old republic was a glorious society of tall, beautiful, immortal beings.

The humans could only survive by killing the animals, tearing out their innards, and eating the muscles that the animals use to chase down and kill humans, in the animals lives. At this point, Hank was extremely angry at the world, and the humans. He
