Horror Attack [DAN or GAI]

"That's not real magic," he insisted. What the hell? She already thought he was using real spells anyway. "But if you want I can show you a few real spells." He wasn't as fond of them himself but in a sense Rui-chan was the opposite of him. She was raised in the mundane world so she craved the magical and inexplicable.

He nodded his head. "But you can't tell anyone, okay? It's supposed to be a secret!"
"Jun, what are you doing?" Uriel asked.
"It's a complicated situation. I planned on explaining everything at some point anyway. Might as well start now."

Jun held out his arm so that Rui-chan could better see his sentient Gothic looking bracelet, partner. "This is my partner, Uriel," he explained. "He helps me with a lot of things."

"He's not a bracelet," Jun said after laughing. "He's a Madogu. I don't think he'd appreciate being lumped in with ordinary jewelry. His name is Uriel. And...I don't...Are you magic, Uriel? You seem to have certain magical abilities."

"Interesting. You've never cared to ask before."
"Yeah, well you know how I feel about questions when I'm off the clock," Jun quipped.

"Right, okay. Bare with me here. I haven't really explained this before." He gazed up the sky for a minute, trying to think of how to best put it.

"Okay, well I can only use spells because I was born into a family that has certain responsibilities. These families sometimes have what's known as a Madagou. They're sentient jewelry that act as advisers and trainers. Uriel helps me fulfill my obligations."

He saw that Rui-chan was looking at him expectantly, hoping he'd explain more. Why the hell not? He always did think it was best to explain as much as possible at once. Get it out of the way and over with.

"Right. Okay then. Uriel's greatest help is that he can detect these monsters called Horrors. Horrors are demons that are attracted to the darkness in human beings. They attach to human beings with this darkness and basically possess them. Then they devour other people. It's been my family's responsibility for a long time to slay Horrors. Uriel helps me find them and gives me guidance as to how to defeat them."

Jun looked down at Uriel. "And Uriel feel free to help me out with the explanation any time you want."
"Adviser? I like the sound of that."
"Does that mean you're not going to help me?"
"You said you'd take responsibility, right?"
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
"I said no such thing."

Jun nodded his head. "Yes, that's why I'm here." He showed her what looked at the moment to be an ordinary staff. He pressed a switch and the spear blade popped out. "This is what I fight them with," he explained.

Then he showed her his Madō Lighter. "This can confirm who a Horror's possessed. Well I also use it to open orders." He thought Rui-chan was taking everything pretty well.

Jun grew serious, quite the rarity for him. "They're very dangerous," he said gravely. "How dangerous they are depends a lot on the Horror and the Makai Knight fighting them. But to normal humans...They really don't stand a chance," he said sadly.

He took a deep breath. "We try to kill them quickly before they can devour a lot of people but it's pretty much impossible to get to them before they feed at least a couple times. And of course the person the Horror possessed is a goner."
