[More like I was wishing for one.]

That comes back to souls, really.

I'm going to guess demons don't have them?

Also stupid question, but are vampires considered demons or are they a separate category?

[...] Way back when, demons and other pure evil things were on the Earth. Magic too. Then, when animals started poppin' up - and "mages" and "lora...-somethings" too - anyway. Demons left, going to other "dimensions" [It's clear from how she's saying it, she doesn't know what dimensions, mages, or whatever lora- was going to be are] where they felt more comfy. Few of 'em stayed though - some slept, some hid, some bred in with humans or animals 'pparently... and then some infected.

Just what I was told. He didn't know where they start either, but lurks are a plague. Demons infected humans - parasite like - and then they pop up. So yeah, demons. Weak ones, sorta hard to think of 'em being the same.

[Ginia begins taking notes as she listens, underlying keywords and phrases here and there.]

Dimension. Other worlds. Parallel universes. Alternates. I guess where we are now could be seen as another dimension. That's my understanding of the word.

But vampires. Lesser demons. Got it.

All right, so souls?

[So "dimensions" are other worlds? That makes sense. She nods]

Souls are what makes humans human. I dunno much 'bout 'em, but I fig it's what gives them the choice. Without it, lurks and demons in gen, I guess, are evil by nature.

That critical difference between humans and demons.

What would happen if someone lost their soul?

Then they go bad.

[She says this with absolute certainty, contrary to much else in this conversation. She's seen it.

My Harth, the murderer. My Harth, the mastermind.

There's a pause and...]

When a vampire sires a new one, that's what they do - the human loses the soul when they become a lurk.

Critical difference between humans and demons.

I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. Thank you.

No prob. I started the questions.

Another question. Demons and the like, does the general population know about them or is this something kept under wraps?

[...] I dunno if it's kept under wraps, but it isn't known everywhere in Haddyn. Had to tell a buncha people myself. That's prop just 'cus magic's been gone for like two cen though.

[And now this conversation is feeling a bit like deja vu.]

There used to be magic in the world, then it disappeared or was lost, and now it's back again?

Well I told you the origins. Magic around, stuff happens, demons leave. Still magic then. But two cen ago, poof. No more magic 'cus one Slayer beats all the demons and lurks and all the evil stuff.

No more bad stuff.

So what changed?

Dunno. Maybe the world just wants magic. Maybe demons from some other world want the world to have magic. Either way, magic started to come back, and so did lurks and demons.

And so Slayers were needed again?

S'what I got told, yeah. I'm the response to the evil coming back.

How long have you been slaying demons?

A few months now, I guess.

Ever wish things were different?

[...] Won't change it.
