[note to self: v is probably like some dark lord wizard who knows about partitions and weird dark shit.]

Well... there's a lot that could be said, I guess. [he scratches at his neck for a moment, as if trying to center his thoughts, before speaking up.] Eos is plagued by the starscourge, a parasitic thing in origin that attacks any life form, particularly people and animals. It changes them—into monsters. [this is mostly grim, the former about people something he realized belatedly after talking with ardyn—after seeing what the man really was.] We call them daemons. They exist only in the dark, and sunlight hurts them.

Some ... scientist actually used the daemons to fuel the soldiers he had created. [he keeps his arms close to his chest—crossed—looking down at his shoes as he bounces one heel onto the toes of the other.] It gets pretty twisted from there.

There's a prophecy to destroy all of that. The Chosen King, the Crystal, a world of darkness...

[this last bit is something he picked up from ardyn and noctis both, the details still unclear to him.]

So, it's like a disease. It makes whatever's infected rabid almost. A new creature altogether.
