There are things here called Noah. One of them can manipulate all sorts of matter -- reaching inside you, for instance, and taking things out, nothing you can do to stop him. I... witnessed it myself. [and boy, does he ever not love the memory of Tyki's hand inside his neck] Another can trap you in some kind of nightmare. They're powerful like Mazoku, maybe more so. And apparently none of our spells can even touch them.
A week or so ago they tortured and nearly killed someone. [Zelgadis looks down, faintly sick at the memory.] And that person happened to be one of the very few who is actually trained to hunt them. But I was talking to someone who knows about them, and we think the Sword of Light might be a type of power that actually could make some difference.
