"With the power of the Silver Mirror, the Nephalem Lilith was able to create a realm according to their desires - a realm where the Beasts could devise the Soul that would lead them, and build a perfect world. While the rest of the multiverse spiraled into Chaos, Lilith aspired towards Perfection."

[ It had taken a bit to scour the book for any other bit of information once he'd gotten it back from one of the stupidest book specters he had to misfortune of running into but now that he has, here he is, reading the first bit over the radio.

Following that, he adds, asking, ]

Has anyone else found something regarding a mirror? I believe this may be one of the miracles but confirmation would be nice to have.

[ ooc, feel free to threadjack as needed ]

So it's definitely about changing souls, huh... ['Darkness in hearts' is hella vague, so this is a little more definitive about what Yuya suspected anyway.] It can corrupt them, too?

[anti_nonsense]

Yeah. Supposedly, the races of angels and demons tried to find it, with the intention of bringing all of humankind over to their side.

[hippocarnival]

[That's definitely a bad thing with demons, but what would purifying all of humanity actually look like...? He wouldn't call the experience painless or anything--it was definitely a last resort, something most people definitely don't need.] Uh, but neither of them have it, right?

[anti_nonsense]

No... someone called Lilith got hold of it instead. They're a Nephalem, something that's probably a cross between an angel and a demon.

[hippocarnival]

And they want to use it to make a perfect world. [That's not bad, in theory. Though, Yuya feels more uncertain about just barging in and taking it. Maybe if it at least stays out of the hands of the Courts...] Do you mean their parents were an angel and a demon?

[anti_nonsense]

I think that's the case... [Her tone doesn't quite convey certainty.] I'm not sure how else to interpret "of Holy and Hellish blood."

If it is, I imagine it's a pretty rare combination. Supposedly, Nephalem are largely hated by both angels and demons, too.

[hippocarnival]

Hated? [That's... really sad. Like an outcast. Maybe that's why Lilith wanted to make a better world themselves, where they could be accepted.

She can probably hear the sympathy in his voice.] What else did it say about them?

[anti_nonsense]

About the Nephalem? Nothing. About Lilith... just that they're trying to use the Mirror to create beings "fit to rule the multiverse."

[This dismissive tone of hers is pretty much a direct response to his apparent sympathy.]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya makes a deflated sort of sound.] Why does everyone want to take over the multiverse?

[anti_nonsense]

Beats me. Seems like a much bigger headache than it's worth, but I guess idiots are drawn to that sort of power.
