Perhaps someday, if I go home to a better place than I left, I'll be able to travel to Shanghai and see for myself. It's a very long way, but you make it sound worth it! Unfortunately there are often troubles to curtail our travels. May I ask which time you arrived from?
I must say that while there are beings here who call themselves Angels I am not entirely sure what it means, besides the possession of immensely powerful magic. I'd love to see the designs of the runes, if you wouldn't think it inappropriate to sketch them on paper.
Ah! Your downworlders are something like what we would call 'magical creatures' then. It's interesting how different cultures categorise things in different ways. I've met the occasional mortal, but magical person calling himself a warlock before, instead of a wizard as I would say it.
Our magic is in our blood, too. Magical abilities sometimes manifest in those with only a small amount of magical blood in their ancestry, but they are almost always evident in those from the pureblood lines.
