"Humans are weaker by nature. They might have the potential to wield greater power, but they usually let their own demons destroy it. They always destroy each other for power."

"You speak as if you are not one of us."

She smiled and didn't say anything. Seeing this, he continued, "The Dark Ones are slowly making their presence known. They are more dangerous than anything else in this world."
