Her moment of honesty startled the young woman, but there was no apology in the creature's blank features. The face, the pretty mask not its own that it wore without shame. "Would you rather that I lied?," she questioned, curious. "Would that make things easier for you?" She nodded briefly. "Good. The powers will be far stronger, should you figure them out yourself. I will be keeping an eye on you, dear. I have been around long enough to watch humanity's actions and the poisoned seed of their souls. And when they condemns you, hurt you. When they try to destroy you out of terror, I will be there the moment you decide that a monster is the lesser of two evils. It would be far easier to give up control so that you would not have to be responsible for tearing them apart. I will feel no guilt, don't fret," she mused. The confidence oozing from the demon was jarring. It brought up self-doubt, questions that had no answers.
The leaking power was noted, the ghosts observed passively as they drifted closer. Her fingers were snapped, the sharp noise startling the stillness. "Beat it," she snapped, voice a low growl. That violent, angry entropy that was the woman's own magic pulsed strongly. It would wash over the ghostly figures and certainly startling enough to drive them back and away, even in the face of their current temptation. They were trivial, barely worth notice. Swatted away like insects.
