Van nodded in simple thanks, picking up the first book, Demons: What They Are and Where to Find Them. He flipped through the pages, seeing some...very disturbing origins of the foul beasts, and eventually came to a section with notable demons. Reading through a few, Van discovered a pattern. The more damage a demon did, the longer the section it had in the book. Eventually he came to the end of the section, and was now on "Demon Lords", which he assumed were like their vampire counterparts; powerful demons that ruled over the lesser ones. "There had been a number of Demon Lords throughout history, but only one has traveled to the mortal realm." Van read quietly to himself. "The powerful demon caused chaos during the medieval age of man, destroying many lives, both physical and spiritual." he read from the book, not knowing why this was suddenly very interesting. "A group of priests, along with other holy figures, supposed magi, and even people who claimed to be Warlocks came after the demon one night, and killed the beast, claiming divine intervention that saved their race. Even after the beast lay dead, its spirit was banished into an immense gem, which warlocks claimed was able to trap its spirit for eternity. Even then, the demon's influence spread, and they soon knew the gem was not enough. One of the high priests sacrificed himself, allowing the gem to be plunged into his skull, where he would combat the demon's spirit for all of eternity."
Van closed the book suddenly, thinking it was all nonsensical gibberish. Growling something under his breath angrily, he picked up the next book, which would hopefully give him information on how to kill demons...
