During the Dark Ages

'Fallen Ones.'

"Those that became Fallen Ones managed to survive the Chaos energy and adapted to it and this in turn corrupted the holy energy inside there bodies. The Fallen Ones managed to gain new skills and traits with their new source of energy and they even strived in that environment. The Fallen Ones eventually had children and that's how the Demon race came to be." Synthia said

"So the entire demon race came from these Fallen Ones, huh." I said to myself

"Well, not exactly. The Angels didn't really know what was going on in hell because as I told you before it was off limits to us. The reason we know all of this is because Demons came to Earth and started turning humans into demons as well. These humans became demon subclasses like vampires and werewolves. This caught the attention of the Angels and this started what is known as the Holy War which lasted like two thousand years or something. The demons were eventually repelled back to hell but some of them did remain on Earth but as far as I know nothing above tier 2 and with no way to level up they eventually died out. The barrier between hell and Earth was reinforced to prevent something like that from happening again."

'That lines up with the description of [Holy Resistance]. So all of this happened before, it is kind of funny how history has a way of repeating itself like some kind of cruel joke.' I thought to myself.

"Oh yeah there is something else you should know. There are seven kings of hell that rules seven houses. You already know about Bellicus, the house of Wrath that is ruled by Azazel who is one of the Fallen Ones. The other houses are Morning Star, the house of Pride ruled by Lucifer himself. Fames, the house of Gluttony ruled by a Demon that goes by the name Beelzebub. Invidia, the house of Envy ruled by the Great Sea Dragon, Leviathan. Aurum, the house of Greed ruled by the Demon, Mammon. Eros, the house of Lust ruled by the Demon, Asmodius. And lastly, Tardus, the house of Sloth ruled by the Fallen One, Belphegor. Bare in mind that this information is from a couple thousand years ago so a lot could change in that time. The reason I'm telling you this is because once you reach tier 4 you will have to choose a house to be apart of. When that time comes we will have to part ways." She said with a sigh.

This gave me a lot to think about. To be honest I don't want to join any of these Demon houses. I have lived my entire life under someone and I just got free and I don't think I want to be under someone ever again. I don't want to be weak ever again.

"Now then let's talk about auras. Your aura is basically a leakage of the energy inside your body whether holy or demonic. This leakage isn't harmful and is something that happens naturally. The amount of aura leaked out can be used as a representation of one's strength. That's practically all I know about auras except what is said in the [Aura Vision] skill description." She said with a shrug.

'Well that's a bust.' I thought

"Theoretically if you wanted to hide your aura how would you do it?" I decided to try a different way of asking the same question.

"Well that depends on the situation I'm in. If I wanted to redirect someone's attention I would flow my aura into something and throw it as far as I could, that would buy me a few seconds at least. But in your case that wouldn't work, I would try to retract my aura into my body but from what I know that causes extreme headaches." She said and winced a bit. I wonder if she ever tried.

"You said that there were differences with demonic energy and Holy energy. Can you tell me more about that?" I asked

"I have no idea what using demonic energy is like so I can't tell you about that. But I can tell you about holy energy. Holy energy is calm and tamed but it can be violent when the user wants it to be. Holy energy reacts well to strong positive emotions and desires such as the desire to save someone." She said and then something clicked. When I was a Halfling and created [Senses Manipulation], [Demons Pride] and [Demon Enchant] I didn't have [Demonic Energy Manipulation] which gave me the ability to manipulate demonic energy at will. Back then I could only use desire to manipulate my demonic energy and even then just barely. Maybe I have been going about manipulating my aura the wrong way, maybe it was time I tried using both will and desire.
