I turned around and I could see Synthia looking at not me but the guy I was holding with an annoyed expression. What's up with that? I had half a mind to just drop the guy but I decided not to. Instead i flew to the ground and dropped the guy and as expected, he ran into the barrier as quickly as he could. Coward.
"So what's the story with that guy?" I said
"Just an annoying post nothing more." Synthia snorted and her answer surprised me.
'What did that guy do to piss her off?' I couldn't help but wonder.
"Anyway what are you doing here, Colin?" She asked her gaze finally leaving the back of the coward.
"I came here to ask for some advice. You see, Alice and I were planning to search the forest in search of the imps but we hit a wall in the plan." I said
"You are planning to scout the forest. It would be helpful to know where this 'Lord Hans' base is and if possible you could also stall them for bit." She said with her hands on her chin.
"As I said we hit a wall in our plan before it could even begin. The imps can use [Aura Vision] to sense me and Alice if we started to search the forest." I said. I didn't tell her about Alice's [Shadow Cloak] because well....she didn't need to know.
"That is a problem but sadly as far as I know the only way to hide from [Aura Vision] is to reduce your aura but only tier 4s can do that. Well I guess if you had an Affinity to illusions or something you could." Synthia said with a shrug.
"Well maybe I could learn it. I mean nothing is impossible, right." I said
"Well I suppose but how do you plan on doing that?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I was hoping that you could tell me about demonic energy and auras." I said and Synthia let out an amused chuckle.
"Ok I guess I could tell you but I don't think here is an appropriate place to have such a long conversation." She said and I looked around. I could see everyone was staring at us, indeed this wasn't a place for such a conversation.
"Why don't we go back to your place? I'm pretty sure Alice would be interested in this topic as well." She said and flew in the direction of my house with me right behind her.
**********************************************
"Ok, let's start." She said as soon as she got comfortable on the couch. Alice and I were sitting on the couch opposite to her giving her our undivided attention.
"Where to start, I guess it would be best to start at the beginning." She muttered to herself.
"Well first of all at the beginning there weren't any Demons, there were only Angels and humans until one of the Angels rebelled. Lucifer one of the few Archangels at the time tried to take control of heaven along with his followers but he was defeated through the coordinated effort of all the Angels him and his faction were defeated. Defeated and cast out of their home, Lucifer and faction first tried to make Earth there home by taking it from humans but they were repelled by the archangels and were forced to flee once again. Not able to stay in heaven nor Earth they had only one place to go, Hell. Now back then, according to the records, hell was deemed off limits to Angels due to the natural energy that was produced there called Chaos." Synthia continued.
"Wait I thought demonic energy was produced in hell." I said, the demon miasma that turned humans into undeads and Demons leaked from hell. And Demon Miasma was basically demonic energy so was Chaos energy something else or is it the same thing as Chaos energy.
"As I said before demons didn't exist back then so it wouldn't be called demonic energy now would it. Anyway with no place to go Lucifer and his faction decided to head to take up residence in hell. Most of them died while some survived. Those that survived became known as Fallen Ones by us Angels."
