Hm? What's outside of here? Oh that's the like, Human World. It's pretty cool, I'll definitely take you one day.

-Cezar

Ouxside that?

-Cez

Uh. Oh! Um. Hm. Wait I read a book on this once. Uhhh... lots of nothing. I think. But with stuff floating in the nothing. But the stuff is all really boring and far away.

-Cezar

Go? See? Pleaxe?

-Cez

Hm! I guess I never thought to! Sure! How far away can the moon be, really?

-Cezar

Although I have visited the surface I didn't dwell on the missed opportunities, at the time. 

I have always viewed myself as an "underachiever". Spending time with Cezar, lazing around, this felt very satisfying.

But something new stirs in me. Perhaps it is the ability to look in on the Human world at will now, piercing easily between our realm and theirs.

Quantifying each city in terms of Demonic Power Potential (DPP) is almost staggering to think about. Of course no individual Demon, aside from the Masters, could ingest all that power without hundreds of years to compress and utilize it, the fact that it is all just THERE is something I cannot stop thinking about. 

Imagine being free in that place. Eating, growing, utilizing, eating again. Using that power to do more, BE more.

Why ARE we stuck in this bubble of nothingness? A prison we have lived in so long we have forgot that the bars are not just decoration, but an insult to all we are.

I am no longer content. I am not unhappy with this change.

When you first begin to read a book, do you know how things will end up?

I mean... you can guess, but no, usually not?

But if you skip to the last page, then things are much clearer.

-The Snow Queen

Ye....sss.... yes. Although you might not have the necessary context to-

-Kay

Do you think the characters would act differently in the early chapters, if you could show them that last page?

-The Snow Queen

... Yes? No? Is this a metaphor?

-Kay

But no matter what they did... it would still be the last page...

-The Snow Queen

Oh my god oh my god it's happening I'm so excited I'm so scared aghhh ok here we go! It'll be fine! We are prepared! 

Are we prepared?

Yes! Yes. 

We've KILLED MONSTERS AND DEMONS! WHY is this so NERVE WRACKING??

aghhhh

Patient has reported that she feels a constant state of "hunger" that cannot be satisfied with mundane foods. 

Reports feeling numbness and lethargy, with spikes of restless energy and anxiety. 

While in direct conflict with Demons she says there is a blankness of mind that is hard to let go of, while simultaneously a feeling of "being alive and awake". 

Consuming Demonic Flesh induces feelings of euphoria, control, fullness, and safety. Additionally, however she does report that feelings of vertigo, body mind disconnect, and pain can flare up while eating Demonic Flesh.

Patient reports hearing "almost voices". She is not sure if these voices are her own thoughts, memories, or waking dreams. They "help her" in battle, occasionally.

In conclusion, patient seems fully capable of continuing to fight Demons for the duration requested.

If possible, recommend fitting of Halo, but not necessary at this time.

-Private Medical Update, sent to The High Angel

I know all that she knows. All that she knew. She knows things I don't know, but I think she knows everything I know.

She didn't make me, but she made ME.

I love her, I think. She loves me, she says. Is my love of me, or of her?

And now there will be more of her. Of me. Ones that know more, have more, ARE more.

I think, but is that all I am?

-Bael

I have had some time now to reflect on my life before, and after, having my sins purged.

I see that much of what I did was done out of a fear of being alone, being meaningless, being powerless. I wanted to put my mark on the world. When I could not do so through approved actions, I did so through unapproved actions. I was shown no respect by others, so I showed others no respect.

Like a silt clouded lake, there was no way for me to see to the bottom, to see what lay in the deeper waters.

And now, it is clear.

None of us are alone. None of it is meaningless. None of us are powerless. The world itself is suffused with an endless and endlessly forgiving respect. An abiding love.

But that does not make what I did right. How I acted caused harm. How I treated others caused ripples of pain that caused more pain.

I must learn how to love my existence fully. As fully as She loves my existence. 

And then I can pass that love, respect, and care to others.

-Meditations on his existence, by the Ex-Criminal Sharunakel

The Demon Master Vapula is not one to be taken lightly. Powerful, a master of many weapons, and holder of many martial secrets. 

The few times they have been challenged have been almost laughably quick. If they attempted a full assault, I would perhaps have only one shot before it was over. 

Their ability to manipulate Demonic energy into Magica light constructs is rare and chilling and is often only supplemental to their true attack.

They play mind games with me on occasion, and I often wonder how much they truly know...

-The Demon Master Dzu

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

I think Dzu has some REALLY cool armor, and a REALLY cool sword! He's very busy and he never has any time to chat tho. :C

Maybe if I send him the ancient book "Blade of the Guy who can Never Die" he will come around? ^_^

-The Demon Master Vapula

During Early Spring, be sure to look out for limited Treasure Beasts in the Interior! These Beasts look like a pre-(H)istory animal called a "rabbit", but contain many delicious and rare food stuffs as well as the occasional magica item!

Be warned, these rabbits have a jumping biting attack where they aim for the throat, so be sure to have proper armor or protections in place.

Happy Hunting!

-The [UPDATED] Adventurer's Guide to the Continent

It is a grotesque and massive act of blasphemy against God, done with love for Her.

Under my direction it grows and is "fed". Only through the strictest of controls is it kept mindless.

But even without a mind, the hunger it radiates is palpable. A great and awful Oak, slumbering in winter. The vitality within waits to burst forth as soon as the snow melts.

The sins of the past, the present, and the future will be placed within it. Within me. And we will devour it, and ourselves.

Endlessly.

-Announcement from the Demon Master Sangui to her followers

in my dream i am tearing out great chunks of meat, as fast as i can, and crushing them into my mouth. there is no flavor, there is no satiation.

i am crying because i am tearing them out of my own body, but it is not me any longer. and i do not care that it cries. 

So that it will stop making the horrible noise, i eat faster, making my way towards the head.

-Transcript from The Judgement of Mr. Crow

The Density of energy in a Demon's Body is not spread evenly. In order of density, it goes:

-Head

-Central Body

-Arms/Legs

-Wings

-Extraneous Bits

The Head contains so much energy that removing it from the rest of the body can cause a total body shut down, in most cases. Destroying the center of the body can also disrupt energy so severely that the body may shut down, but not always. 

The flavor of the head is MUCH stronger than the rest of the body and should be eaten slowly so as not to overwhelm the senses.

The eyes however usually are quite mild tasting and slightly sweet.

Recommended spices are as follows:

-Book in progress of being written by Saint Mu, titled "How to Serve Demon"

There was a stretch of "good time". I think on it only occasionally, as if being careful of not consuming too much food from a limited supply.

The beginning of what would come to be known as the "Age of Sloth". We had retreated from humanity to live in the clouds, and spent much of our time observing, thinking, talking, planning.

At the time some of our number when bored would go and sleep for many weeks, or read ancient books, or create fantastic meals. Mr. Crow told some very funny jokes.

Days, years, decades went by with not much changing. It was at times suffocating, and yet somehow painfully sweet to think back on.

If we succeed or fail, perhaps especially if we succeed, those memories will be even more precious. 

I hope that they will stay with me.

-Personal writings of The High Angel

Running for 280 episodes over three seasons, Lady Power Princess is popular globally, although mocked for sloppy localizations.

The writing of the show is often seen as fairly surface level, but fans of the show claim that the themes are attempting to subtly criticize the immense pressure foisted upon those that are too young and too naive to be able to reject it, and how hard it is to ignore the demands of those around you.

Although only shown once in America and never aired again, the penultimate episode does end with all the friends of Lady Power Princess dying because she is forced to prioritize saving the city over those she cares about.

The final episode is often debated as it could either be a fairly straightforward ending, with everyone safe and well, or else it could be seen as the wishful dream of a protagonist who has finally lost all connection to reality. 

I personally feel that-

I haven't gone back home, since meeting Cynthia. I feel guilty about that sometimes. I have written letters, occasionally.

It's like that person was someone entirely different that I just inherited memories from. Perhaps that's how it is for everyone, eventually? You carry the inertia of who you were, but eventually you've changed so much that it is only because you shared the same body that you give that past self any recognition at all.

Will I approve or disapprove of my future actions?

I guess it doesn't matter, since that self will be gone, only a fading collection of thoughts.

What do we owe our past selves, anyways...?
