Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay okay so he had been...missing in action since he was first hired. He hadn't gotten much flack about it...in fact when he approached Vampy about his...uh...lack of activity the man seemed to have forgotten he had even been hired.

And now he had been set up with a class he knew...vaugely about. He had been given books on the subject..sure he knew demons inside and out...though perhaps not ...their hisotry. Angels...pfft...he new only the basics. THe books he had recieved had proved very insightful...though the worn leather bound covers with gold guilded letters on the front conveyed they were much older than they appeared.

He tapped his pencil idly on his desk..wow he had a desk. It sunk into him that this...was a teaching job. He had tried wearing professional clothes for it but felt very out of place. He had contacted two students who were old enough to take the class. He hoped they would show up soon enough.

The man stood up as soon as the girl entered the room, she moved over giving her a flamboyant bow.

"My dear lady!" he started in his own dramatic way, apparantly it was a habit he had been unable to break even all his time scrounging around in the dusty books looking for better ways to conjure demons. He so wished he had his cape...it was even better when he could swirl it around.

"This class is to in a sense 'focus' your studies about the super nattural!" He continued in a booming voice, though it wasn't as if he was yelling..he was just good at projecting his voice.

"You have already met both of your gentic parents so this class is to expand on what you had glean from those meetings." He continued though he was less than thrilled with the idea of having to teach about the angels..but he had too. Good thing he had that huge tome to look through.

Despite ...being rather..dramatic there was nothing aggresive about this man, in fact he looked rather handsome and around his forties.

"If you would kindly take your seat Madam, I believe have one other we are waiting for before the class can begin." He continued as he went to turn and head back for his desk. He definately was a strange one..

The man jerked his head up with Slythor finally arrived in the classroom.

"Yes yes...please sit down young man. You are late." He stated though his tone was stern he was still wearing a smile. It didn't take him long to stand back up from his teaching desk and he looked at his two students wondering where to begin.

"Well I guess you both are wondering why I summoned you here, really it is a simple answer. Today I will be teaching you the basic history of The demonic world, celestial world and the human world. There is much information you need to know in order to be prepared for the future ahead." He stated as if he knew something they both didn't know about their impending futures.

"You see you both are very unique to this world....and in a sense shouldn't really exist. Thus there may be strange beings who will come to ...well lets just say put a stop to it." he sounded a bit dramatic like it was a cliche horror flic.

"So it is best you be prepared and knowledge is power as they say." He gave a chuckle before he focused on both his students.

"Now...what should we start with....Hmm..." he looked around and then to the dusty old tome on his desk.

"Let us start at the beggining shall we?" The black haired man turned around briskly before he took a peice of chalk and began scribbling an ancient langauge on the board. He drew four thick lines on the board and then labeled a section Heaven/Mundane/Hell/Underworld. Then he labeled each of the thick lines 'the void' .

"You see once upon a time and I mean a LONG LONG time ago, perhaps at the birth of the world, all these plains of existance actually co-existed. names like Heaven and Hell are derived from the human language and to enter Heaven you must ascend into the sky and to enter Hell deep into the ground.

Human beings and creatures from these plains were once able to mingle, but alas the creatures of the demonic plain and creatures of the celestial plain held a deep hatred for each other. Wars sprang forth and the human world was the battle feild." He made a few crude drawings one of an angel one of a demon and one that appeared to be human.

"Any questions so far?" He asked finally taking a breath and turning to face his students.

Mareike eyed her fellow student with disdain and sighed, really bringing pets to class. The wrath child wasn't sure what was wrong with so many of the other facility children that their minds clearly weren't functioning logically. It seemed to strike lust kids more often but clearly wasn't limited to just them.

" Why do the demons and angels hate eahc other ?" mareike asked " and please don't give me some damned romeo and juliet type story or i will walk out" she warned " sure they;re opposites but that happens it;s called balance, if everyone got along and was the same there'd be no progressions no innovations becuase there'd be little motivation to strive and make new things in a world of complete peace and harmony."

Mareike understood this, the logical balancing the concepts of good and evil which were flawed in and of themselves becuase some things were classified evil just becuase they were destructive which was wrong becuase nature could be destructive without being called evil. cannibalism was evil amongst many species but in many animals ones it wasn't. You couldn't just pawn that off as a levei of morals either becuase morals were cultural what is acceptable to one is not in another and ... Mareike just sighed again and tried to pay attention to her teacher

Mareike gave the man a rather bored look, so far she'd absolutely nothing she found any interest in " Why are there two death gods?" That at least sounded like it might have an interesting story behind it.

The man went to reply to Mareike and then stopped when Slythor spoke, the frown that crossed his face wasn't mocking but very serious.

"Young man I wouldn't mistake such fictional subject matters for real life." He nearly snapped, "though there are some things that they pull from the shimigami for example in that..." Wait..he paused and shook his head, though he had researched anything to do with demons he had no real knowledge of this series called Death Note. He knew it enough to be a passing craze amoungst the younger generation that dealt with gods..and death and the like.

"Back on track here." He continued in a huff, he wasn't one who liked his passion to be mocked.

"There are two death gods, one for hell and one for heaven. Mother earth deals with all life and death in the human realm." He continued after a moment answering Mareike's question.

He then jabbed his chalk at the area called the 'void'. "Now the void is a dead space created to seperate the realms from each other. Though we all have the ability to access through our subconcious, our minds can travel there freely without repremands, this is the case when we sleep or go into a trance like state for the more advanced. Human's call it dreaming...or the dream world. " He stated as he wrote this information down on the board in point form.

"Though considered a dead space there are creatures there...though they themselves are dead themselves. Its a place soul's get trapped when they arn't ready to be reborn. They live there and becomes wraiths losing themselves to the dream world. Depending on the strength of the soul depends on how strong the wraith is.." he continued with a nod of his head.

"You see, wraiths...feed off of our emotions. Fear, passion, love confusion... it depends on the wraith what they perfer. Ever had a nightmare? Thank a wraith for that." THere was a pause as he looked over his students feeling a bit frusterated wishing they shared the same enthusiam for the subject as he did.

"Wraiths cannot physically harm us, but unless aided with the use of magic you cannot travel to the different realms. Otherwise you wouldh ave to cross the Void physically...and being touched by a wraith means death. Instant. No second chances...natta." He tried to sound rather deathly calm about it...but the wraiths were so interesting if it weren't for the fact they cuold kill him with a mere touch he would go and try and find a way to enter the world.

The man looked to Mareike a smile crossing his face at her question, he shifted his weight and let it settele on his foot before he ran a hand through his dark hair. Unfortunately due to the chalk dust now his black hair had traces of white in it.

"Why? Well young lady why ever not? Knowledge is true power, and if something were to happen wouldn't you like to know or at least have some basic idea of why it was happening? Do you not ever question, why do I have dreams? Why do I have nightmares? Why did I dream of this?" He stated with a rather long winded sentence before he shifted again to his other foot.

"Now you have an idea of why." He calmly concluded before he turned his back to the classroom again.

"Now where was I....ohhh right. So we have these different plains of existance's. You must wonder 'hey can i travel to these?' " He started before he turned to eye his two students again.
"The answer is...yes. But you would need the aid of magic to do it."

He waved a hand to the left of him in the corner of the classroom on the floor painted there was ...a strange pentagram. A summoning circle.

"With the aid of something like this you could summon or rip a gate open into either world." He said with a satisfied nod of his head.

This was like asking if he could breath the smile on his face was a bit...too eager and he nodded his head.

"It takes a lot of study and some inate ability, but yes people can learn how to do this. Some demon's it comes to them nattural like breathing, others...are too...lets just say ..unintelligent to work it. " He explained as he gave a wave to the summoning cirlce in the corner of the room.

"Humans...have the most difficulty learning it...as it isn't really apart of their being magic. But with a lot of work I am able to rip open portals into the demonic realm...though I have never attempted the celestial." He said with a proud nod of his head.

"Its a nifty trick to learn, although a dangerous one. If you leave a portal open too long you can lure creatures to it....how else do you think we have such strange creatures mixed into our world?" he muttered.
