Re: Breaking Things (UnknownSquid and Keylo)
"A sound hypothesis actually, given the nature of Daemons to feed, assimilate, and then improve or create. The miracle of life after all, is based upon a similar principle after all. Born from a daemon lord, it's not that surprising if such were the case, though interesting if there was a means to confirm it."
Such would be Enigma's analysis of the matter, based on what she had learned over the years, through both experience and otherwise. Though it had taken her a while to confirm the similarities between her manner of acquiring power and that a daemon's, once she had done so...it became possible for her to make assertions as to the nature of those strange and distant beings.
"Unfortunately though...I lack any means by which to do so that would not violate personal taboos at this time. For one that is about to give life, should not ever "take life" until the deed is done. And I have neither the abilities nor the interest to emulate the means of a certain...monstrous songbird. A pity really..."
Yet it was also because of this that she could not help but seem "disappointed"... at this time. Well...as disappointed as Enigma could seem until, that glint of insanity, the spark that indicated the formulation of an impractical experiment appeared in the elf's eye.
"Well, perhaps I could copy the method of demons then?... The one that merely drains without tearing another's soul asunder. It'd be a stretch, but I do believe I've had enough...experiences, to try copying the means, especially if I manipulate the demonic seed I borrowed so long ago... Well, provided she agrees of course..."
Though the elf continued to speak aloud, it would seem almost as if she were speaking not to anyone else present, but rather herself...or an invisible other. A habit of her's that Lanai would perhaps be more than used to by now, but still a bit odd nonetheless. One blink...two blinks, and then a smile would return to Enigma's visage as the madness would fade from her eyes, and she would scan to Maya, the one she desired to perform the experiment upon, and her love and usual assistant, Lanai.
"I apologize for the suddenness dear, but would you care if I made an attempt to peer into that dream? I am ever so curious now, as to what the vision of such an union might be. The means by which I normally "devour", generally allow me insight into images of a morsel's past. However, as I've no wish to inflict the same upon you, I propose another option. One that would allow me to emulate the process of devouring, but leave you intact over all. Namely, a tryst in the manner of...demons, if you would. Though of course, that's provided you're comfortable with such a thing of course. In the event that you are though...Lanai love, might I ask you for a bit of...assistance, with a particular strain of magic?... One that might grant me a suitable body part by which to...drain with."
