"Really? Well then I feel an obligation to tell you the story." Shahal smiled, taking a seat on the dusty rotten old couch and cleared her throat, nibbling on the licorice for a moment, "Well it was about a millennia ago, this demon by the name of Sparda rebelled against the Prince of the Underworld, by the name of Mundus, to save humanity. Granted no one knows why he did this, being a demon and all, but he did, and he fought of the hordes on his own, even beating Mundus." She stopped for a moment, taking another bite of licorice, "After he won Sparda looked over humanity as a sort of protector, took a mortal wife and had two kids before he passed away,"
She looked back over at him, "The lesser demons are rather mindless, they just do the brunt of the footwork, these are actually just supposed to be keepers of different levels of hell, but because of the tower that raised itself in the middle of town, they've been showing up all over in the human realm even though they have no place here,"

Siral fingered his hair unconciously as Shahal talked on. So this Sparda, he saved humanity from an evil demon? Wow, that was kinda cool knowledge to know. He got up and went back to his couch, curling up under his coat. He looked at Shahal curiously. "So he saved all of human kind? That must have been hard."
He thought about what she had said about the lesser demons. He was glad to know that his father wasnt one of the mindless demons running around. The voice did say that he had authority and power over demons, and that he ruled a portion of Hell, as did all demons who were not of the lesser kind obviously.
He grabed another licorice and bit into it with ease. So the lesser demons have been showing up around the world? He didnt know that... Suddenly, a question formed in his mind. He looked quickly at Shahal. "Are there any near here?" He didnt want to be sleeping near any demons!

She watched him as he thought over the story she had told, "Yep, a demon saved all of humanity from all other demon by himself. Angels would have helped, but they aren't allowed to interfere with the going ons of demons unless they're guardian angels and the demons are out to hurt there particular charge, but even they have to keep it to a minimum so as to not be noticed," In all honesty Shahal thought that little rule was utter bullshit, but she had no say in such things.
"There are actually many different types and classes of demons, just as there are Angels, it's rather hard to keep track of them all the numbers are just so great," Shahal added in after thought.
Again she watched him, but just a bit more curiously then before, he seemed to be thinking of something and then the next moment looked a bit panicky, "Not at the moment," She started, "But that can change very quickly mind you, they can move through realms very easily using a medium, most that appear at the moment seem to be using sand, so you've gotta be on guard all the time around here," There was no sense in lulling the boy into a false sense of security.

Siral listened with open and trusting ears as Shahal explained about the demons. As she said that there might be some near here in the future, he couldnt help a flinch from starting over his face. Maybe, just maybe, one of the lesser demons was one of his fathers. Maybe he could send a message to him, and he would actually want Siral as a son-
But even as he thought that, a wave of reality crashed down on his dreams. Of course he wouldnt want him, thats why he just had a night of pleasure with his mother and then left, it was so much more easier than trying to stick around to watch ovber a baby who might not even have his powers. But Siral did have his fathers powers, maybe that would change his mind....
Siral frowned. That was alot of "Maybe's", alot of which he knew many to be just his dreams. He dropped his hands into his lap and hot breath tickled them. His fire wolf had followed him over to the couch. With a sad smile, he tickled his ears, making him yip. Siral leaned back and looked at Shahal. "Did you .....uh, take care of any tonight yet?" he asked.

Shahal watched him closely with two tone eyes, he seemed to be in thought of something and she couldn't help but wonder what it was, though she figured it better to not ask anything about it, seemed like a personal thing and because of that Shahal decided not to ask.
"A good few, theres been a lot more demonic activity in town because of that damnable tower, which I suggest stayin away from unless completely necessary," Shahal felt like something of a mentor at the moment, teaching the boy a small part of her knowledge of the demon world.
"So I've got a question for you now my dear," She watched the fire wolf in amusement for a moment, she really did think it was cute after all, "Do you have any sort of combat skills?" Shahal came out right and asked. If he didn't then Siral might not survive around here and she was gonna tell him it'd be in his best interest to get as far from town as possible as fast as possible.

Siral blinked in surprise as Shhal asked if he knew any combat skills. Combat skills? Him? Ha! He looked down at his hands and muttered, "I sometimes plays with the daggers in my uncles shop.." He knew it wasnt mcuh to go on, but he was still a kid, for darns sake!
He glanced up at Shahal through his lashes, curious. "Why did you want to know that?" Then he looked at her suspiciously. "I'm not helping you kill anyone if thats what your after......" He pursed his lips and thought. She didnt seem like the type of person to need help, but he had just met her, so what did he know ?

She frowned slightly, he was still young, but a half demon learns faster then human children skills for combat, then again he didn't know much of his powers yet either, so she figured she could offer to help teach him some pointers, which would probably help in the long run especially when demon hunters and other demons were factored in, or she could just tell him to get out of town now which would only be a temporary sort of safety.
Shahal chuckled slightly, shaking her head, "No nothing like that, I don't go around randomly killing people and even if I did I wouldn't need any help," After all she had been the equivalence of a grim reaper when she was still an angel, death was sort of her strong fort, "The reason I ask is because it's best to have some knowledge of combat and defense skills if one's a half demon especially in this town," She looked over at him, "I could give you a few pointers if ya want," Shahal offered, after all she was still part angel.

Siral felt a moment of relief when she said she didnt go around just killing. But that relief turned to surprise as she offered to teach him some pointers. By what he'd seen, she wasnt exactly human either, but then again neither was he. Shahal was a demon hunter, or so she said, so she would know some good pointers, wouldnt she? His internal battle lasted about a minute before he turned to Shahal, petting the fire wolf.
"I would like that," he said, giving a smile. Just then, his fire wolf gave a raspy bark, making Siral glance down. It had worked its way closer while he had been preoccupied with her offer. Already, the couch's cushions were started to smolder. The boy felt panic for an instant.
"Get away from the couch, stupid!" He gave it a push, and it fell back, giving a whine. Siral frowned. "What, are you jealous? Dont be. It's only some pointers, wolf."
That reminded him, he really did need a name for the fire wolf. He felt uncomfotable calling it wolf and it. He looked at the fire wolf and then at Shahal, eager for her opinion. "Hey, how would the name Cinder sound for this guy? That or Flame, but I dont know it it's a guy or girl..." He laughed, thinking it funny.

She nodded, "Ahh I love it when people are willing to learn," Shahal said with a smile, at least he had a good idea of self preservation going on, which of course was always a good thing when it came right down to it.
Shahal laughed lightly at the wolf, "It's alright pooch, I'll make sure nothin happens to him," She said while petting the wolf to chill him out a bit, it was a cute animal, even if didn't have the sense to know that pretty much everything it touches in this realm will eventually catch fire.
"Cinder sounds like a fine idea actually, it'll work if pooch here is a boy or a girl," She nodded at that, it sounded good for the fire wolf, and it did sound androgynous enough as not even she could tell whether it was a boy or girl.
Standing up and stretching slightly Shahal looked him over, "Well kid ya wanna get started on some of those pointers now? There's no time like the present after all," Which there really wasn't, the sooner the better Shahal figured especially since she had to get a feel for just were he already was.
