Journal 6

[23:20] Taking the lesser along with them into the dreadwoods. It wasn't until a suitable location was found that the ascended turned back to the face the youngling. "Shall offer, a brief lesson. To serve as a means in provoking though beyond battling. Yes? After-all... While we do grow, at a faster rate. There is no sense to evolution. Without a goal. Even if minor. Yes?"

Clasping both hands together they took to seating themselves on the ground. Patting the ground before them.

"As I still require time to heal... I cannot actively involve magics in this, but words should suffice. Right?"
(Irkalla)

[23:25] Ravias could only agree, Through battle he could increase its strength exponentially however demons were more than just tools for destruction with no cause.

"I think that is fine. I am still recovering from my wounds as well. While I do wish to grow in strength but that can always be achieved when I'm in better shape." The creature drew towards the spot and reclined itself on in lacquered grass of the Dreadwoods.

"Which should we discuss first?" The demon more than interested in having a conversation with someone. None really paid it that much attention but seeing Irkalla give their all to get it healed and now even training them. It all seemed to fall into place.

This will be the point in which he climbs towards Ascension.

[23:25] * You have been awarded 2 Roleplay Points! *
[23:31] With a smile, they looked to being the minor lesson. If only to enact their goals since the beginning of ascension. Assistance. A role not typically seen, less from the first of its kindred to evolve. Yet there came a sense of maternal instincts arriving whenever noticing the lesser kin be dispatched by humanity.

"We shall begin with the concept of a soul. Yes? It is said in texts that divinity personally hand craft said soul. But before putting it into a human body? They protect it with a barrier. It acts as both a limiter to humanities restraints and... A barrier for the likes of those who soul dive."

A poor name for reference, but the point needed only to be made.

"As such... Before you can truly come to tap and bare witness to souls. You must learn of the human body, mana circuits. Each are different, but there are methods to hasten the progress. Even in battle. Although, it will require a combination of advanced occultic magics and. Witchcraft. Yes?" Canting their head, side to side. Taking delight in offering in-sight into the methodology that was unique to a demon who also wielded witchcraft. So precisely.

"The soul is what generates mana into the body... It is during times of active release. That one can quickly locate the realm of the soul in a human body. But in combat? To tap a soul, you must weaken them. It is best to strike either. Mentality or... Spiritually." Pausing for a moment. Allowing the information to soak. It hoped thus far what it said would be of use.

After-all, it worked for the ascended.
(Irkalla)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:38] The information had been a flood within the lesser demon's brain however its mind had been expanding, With each battle it drew closer and closer towards evolution. And despite the fact that it could not follow all the words the Ascended demon spoke they were capable enough to ask questions to fill in for what it did not know.

"So the Soul is the core of magic within humans? And with out the soul what happens to their bodies? Are they destroyed? Or Perhaps worse..." The creatures voice reverberated countless echo's of many whispering and withering voices.

"The power of souls could be immensely valued, And this is the study you've devoted yourself to?" The lesser demon would ask curiously. The concepts of it all still lost upon him, Just how valuable the soul could be however was not.

"It seems the barrier to the soul is the only obstacle. If that was removed in some way...Then perhaps it is possible to gain access to that resource..." The demon suggested in a puzzled tone. After a while his gaze returned towards Irkalla have expecting answers to all of his questions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:47] Expressing a false sense of happiness in curling lips. Ear to ear. To hear the questions responded back, only provoked the demon to further speak. Relying solely on their experience thus far, as knowledge over the soul.

Was vastly limited on this island.

"Yes... The soul is, the core. To not just humanity, but all things. I am sure... The divine are those without said barrier around them. Hence why they can freely cast the magics without rival." A mere theory, but with how expansive even an angels reach could be? Surely it had something to do with the soul.

And the ascended would find out. Eventually.

"And yes, the studies over the soul are all I desire. To. I? It is the key to manipulating all existence. To defy even... The gods themselves." Reflecting over the years they survived thus far. There was much it could come to reminisce on, but so little of it could provide comfort to them now. Not when theywere at the cusp of their studies.

"Regardless... What occurs once a soul is gone? It dies, naturally. Such is what occurs when one dies. Even demons. Our soul goes elsewhere... It is because of the barrier, that we are unable to stop it from escaping. However? Should one be able to do more than just tap or harass a soul, but take hold it? Could surely do more than damage... Humanity. But mutate them.
(Irkalla)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:55] This discussion was rather interesting, Never had it crossed the demons mind to manipulate the souls of humans. But much knowledge could be learned and gained through this.

Through witchcraft most things were possible. The Arts of the Dark Lord could be honored and honed towards such disasters even the mysterious of the soul could be unlocked had one spent enough time.

"That's all rather interesting, I can't say I've ever thought of harnessing such power. I know very little about it but I am willing to assist you in your studies of it." Yet the demon very well doubted he could ever manifest the same intentions but he knew that aiding one achieve this would be worthy.

"I desire to perfect my Chronomancy. And eventually learn to open rifts into time. Once I've mastered the Ritual Arts of Witchcraft I will develop a method of tearing into existence. And eventually into the very time stream itself. And I will bathe in the flow of time and become a being scattered amongst all of time."

It was a large ask but convincing a demon not to follow their Nightmarish Dreams, Even if they were both seemingly impossible tasks. One that both Irkalla and Ravias aimed to achieve.

"I believe we can do much to help each other. The Power of Souls might be just what I neeed to become strong enough to do this."
