Mist is the lifeblood of the Outlands. It is a force, an element in itself. I suppose spontaneous development of life isn't impossible...
But there is, I think, something else responsible for this growth of sentience.
I am merely the original writer of the contract; I forged the template - what you, humans, might call the 'master copy'. What other creators do with it, how they might modify it for their own uses, is theirs alone, and no concern of mine...or so I thought.
This child here, and others like him, are the result of a pact sealed between humans and daemons. The contract was modified to allow for more ingredients...the fragments of lost souls, mixed together with Mist to create something new. No doubt they were intended to simply be more complex soldiers, but they created life instead...
[ The daemon shakes his head. ] Unlike this boy, I cannot call other daemons to me. Without them, the ones who were responsible for moulding him and his kindred, that contract cannot be changed.
But I believe there is another way, though it requires some sacrifice from each of you...It is an unusual method, but I believe it has enough power to make a difference.
