The good thing about demons was that the believe in them had dwindled over time. The concept of demons and hell had slowly turned into a niche subject and pop-culture phenomena. Kai huffed as ripples spread through the water. "There is a difference between the protection of the living and the protection of the dead. A body I can protect..." He had protected the loved ones of believers many times. "... but I cannot protect their soul and their path after life if they do not believe in it." He shook his head. It saddened him that some of his followers had turned to a belief that had embodied the concept of punishment. He had always thought for the spirits - had that been how he had ended up guiding them? There was a flicker of recognition at the thought. Sometimes his memories were muddled. Sometimes they were clear. He had been many things. It had been a long time ago.
