"There is no reason for this conflict, but it is coming with the inevitability of the tides. Even those that do not share your gift Seer, have been able to tell what is to come. We need you to find out where and how this war is to begin if it is to be stopped. I said that you could bring your gift under your direct control, and it would show you both of these things. With the destruction of the Crystal Dragon all of the maliciousness, the hatred and jealousy, the fear and anguish, and the cunning cruelty that was the embodiment of her have been realized in the demons who have ambitions to claim power. The One that created her removed his blessing from her, perhaps to this world's end if this war is not stopped."
The demoness that spoke finally put in an appearance as Ariel finished eating. Long silky black hair cascaded down her back, barely concealing the twin horns that sprouted from her head. Delicately pointed ears held back the mass of hair from her face, and twitched as she talked. Glistening white fangs were visible when she spoke, the rest of her teeth small and sharp like a fox's. Silvery lavender eyes regarded the Prismstar with a mixture of curiousity and thoughtfulness. In a small, clawed hand she held clothes which she offered to Ariel. The were similar to the ones that the girl who had brought the tray had worn, differing only in color. They were a pale blue, edged with silver. The demoness neither smiled nor frowned when she held them out for Ariel to take.
Slender of body, looking more like a Forgotten than a human, she twitched her bat-like wings restlessly. A single ebony slip covered her from neck to knee, seeming almost a part of her own body. Her feet were like a bird's, with a sharp curving arch and talons that flexed digging into the floor. She looked like she would be just as happy perching on a tree limb as standing on the ground. She started speaking again, seeming almost random thoughts that she voiced without really thinking about it.
"You know what demons are made of? We are the result of mortal's deepest fears, their anger and hatred and spite. The demonrealm itself is the result of that, and as long as there are mortals that fear things in the night, that hate their neighbors, that are cruel because it gives them pleasure we will still be in existance. It isn't just this realm, there are more realms than you can dream of, all of which contain mortals that hate, fear, are cruel or are simply petty. You can't really kill a demon, it's essence simply returns to the demonrealm and another demon rises to take it's place. On occasion there are demons that obtain a conscience that softens their attitudes. Kiora was one such, though her voice has fallen silent of late. I suppose those gathered here are others, drawn together for their own protection. We all of us understand that sometimes neccessity forces us to acts that are considered normal for a demon, but it isn't normal for us. Our kind are too few to stop a war of this size, unless we stop it before it begins. Being demons they can wait a very long time, doing small acts that would cause trouble for their enemies before they begin to fight in earnest. Patience some say is a virtue, but it can be misused like any other tool."
The demoness fell silent as if aware she had been rambling a little and turned to leave so that Ariel could get dressed. She would wait a little longer for her answer, but not too long. Patience was not one of her virtues after all.
