After Lucifer finished teaching Trinity what she would need to do to fix the link between her and Zyxel, Trinity grew concerned if she would remember it all.
<
Trinity repeated the incantation back to him.
<
Again, Trinity repeated it. She was starting to wonder if this was what it had been like for Zyxel teaching her the first Demon Chant incantation, when he had possessed her.
'How much longer do we have to keep this up? It feels like we've been working at it for hours!' Trinity grumbled in her mind, making sure to focus her thoughts to send it only towards his direction.
Lucifer glared at her through narrowed eyes. <
'Alright, fine. I get it.' Trinity grumbled in her mind.
Trinity continued on with repeating the incantation over and over again. Every time she finished, he would have her repeat it yet again.
Finally, Lucifer nodded in approval. <>
'I understand. But before you send me back, I want to know. How do you even know about the Demon Chant, or how it works? How do you know how to fix it?'
Lucifer didn't reply and just tilted his head and gave a slight smirk, waiting to see what theories she might come up with on her own.
'You helped create the original spell, didn't you? That's how they were able to make sure that an angel couldn't hear the incantation when it was spoken.'
Lucifer grinned and nodded. <>
'Why would you help make it?' Trinity asked.
<
Trinity tilted her head as she looked at Lucifer in curiosity. She remembered that Zyxel had mentioned to her once before about how demons had experienced side effects of some kind of evolution, but he refused to talk about it any further with her. Could this be the change that he was referring to? 'What happened to them exactly?'
As soon as she asked that, Lucifer's piercing gaze fell on her. <
Trinity found herself nodding without a moment's hesitation.
<
A crease formed across Trinity's forehead as she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. The answer seemed kind of obvious to her, so why would he even need to ask? 'The demon form, of course! Honestly, I didn't even know that demons could make themselves appear human, until he revealed himself to me in his human form. He switches between the two forms freely, but he knows how awkward his demon form makes me feel, so he usually avoids it.'
Lucifer smirked. His eyes glimmered with amusement and she could hear him laughing softly in her mind. <
Trinity's mouth dropped as she couldn't believe that she had never thought about that before. She lowered her head in shame and shook her head. 'I didn't think about that.'
Lucifer nodded. <
Trinity opened up her mouth to ask what exactly it was that the gods and the angels fed off of from humans, but Lucifer quickly continued on with his story before she could utter a sound.
<
Lucifer paused momentarily to allow Trinity to process what he had just said, before he continued on. <
Trinity gasped at this information, but certain keywords stood out at her. Yet? At that time? Did that mean that they grew to hate humanity later? She had always learned that people who did evil in their life were later burned in hell for their sins. But to hear now that there was more to that story, and that those sins were burned from the soul in order to purify the soul, she did not expect this!
<
Lucifer's face changed to reflect a very grim expression as he began to think about his brother. <
