Then he turns, his calm restored.Listening to Gavril he responds:[sblock=For All]I don't care for this particular bit either friend Gavril. I doesn't happen very often, most people die and go to afterlife. But, then, most die peacefully. Even when someone has something to say, it is usually contact initiated by me, I have spirit guardians to protect me from this kind of forceful contact.As with all guardians, they are not perfect. And what's worse, they are sentient so they may decide that a message is important enough to allow the spirit access.If not for my training, I'd be dead or roving lunatic a dozen times over as spirits vie for the body to inhabit. Occasionaly, a guardian may take over to save me if I'm incapacitated. At other times I will allow him access simply as, hm, lets say payment, for his services. I'll warn you when this kind of change is voluntary and probably isolate myself from others.I'm sorry for discomfiting you, I understand it is not something anybody would want to know about. We Coimirceoir deMarbh are used to prejudice, fear and misunderstanding. I ask of you to keep your mind open and trust me when I say that not all spirits are evil just as not all Daoine are baby snatchers or not all humans are sociopaths. Spirits are those same people, just dead ones. Yes, they get changed by experience, but new spirits (that is, those recently deceased) are mostly same person they were in life.Evil spirits are those who cannot pass on because of some unfinished business that go mad from lonelyness or frustration or simply time that passes. Or they were evil to start with, but those are special kind and most dangerous.It is really not so much different then ranger accompanied by tamed bear or mountain hound or some other beast. Only, my partners are dead. When we sit down, I'll discuss my powers with you and answer any and all questions you might have. And also obtain permission or prohibition to use some of them on you.We should go and discuss everything in peace.[/sblock]As for my knowledge of shadows...I know of undead shadows, but you encountered shadow demon. These might or might not be the same. If it is some kind of undead, my powers will be devastating. If it's living demon with shadow properties not so much.</blockquote>
