"Meryl, the Overlord, and you are all devils, 
 right?"

<sprite "ta09a000.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Rakia" "!EA0515">
"Yes, that's right.
 Is something on your mind?"
#
<name "Darx">
"If you're all devils, then why is there 
 such a big difference in how strong you are?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0516">
"We may all be devils, but we're not all the
 same race."
#
<name "Darx">
"You can tell?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0517">
"Yes. Presence and number of horns, color of
 the wings, personality, form...
 There are many tells."
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0518">
"What makes us all devils is that it's
 possible for us to create a Pact."
#
<name "Darx">
"That doesn't sound like just some contract."
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0519">
"You're right. It's called a Devil's Pact,
 but it's a way of gaining power by restricting
 ourselves to the terms of the Pact."
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0520">
"We can bind ourselves however we want,
 but the more restricting, the more limiting
 the Pact is, the greater the power is that
 we gain."
#
<name "Darx">
"Ohhh..."
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0521">
"Some of the famous pacts are things like
 obeying anyone who knows their name, or grant
 one wish to any human they meet."
#
<name "Darx">
"Ah, okay.
 I've heard stories like that."
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0522">
"A Pact is what makes one a devil."
#
<name "Darx">
"Then you guys have Pacts?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0523">
"I don't know. I wonder.
 Normally, we don't announce when we've 
 created one."
#
<name "Darx">
"Normally, huh?
 So you don't have to tell anybody anything
 about your Pacts."
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0524">
"Yes."
#
<name "Darx">
"Interesting. I didn't know you had that kind
 of power. It seems useful. 
 How are you able to do that?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0525">
"I don't know.
 I'm not sure myself."
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0526">
"But only devils can make them."
#
<name "Darx">
"I think I get it now.
 Thanks for letting me waste your time."
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0527">
"Think nothing of it.
 However, I do expect that you'll be doing
 quite some shopping now."
