"Why do you have so many powers instead of just darkness? And what happened with the vampires…?"
Logan chose the two questions he thought were most urgent.

[Simple enough. I was split after the previous war. You see, I advocated for the demons to be brought into this world, so I had to take responsibility. My powers were scattered, and I've only recently begun reclaiming them. One of those fragments… abyss… has been gone too long. It's what you'd now call cursed.]
[As for why I did what I did—] The voice shifted, more solemn now.
[I don't need to explain. Humans were the ones who asked for the demons to be brought. It shouldn't be hard to understand that it would backfire. Little of that knowledge was passed down. So… it is an error destined to repeat itself.]
