[ she'd find a lot of the actual info out there in the real world on demons: tons of varying reports of what they actually are, etc. but when she starts looking into demon fighting, she'd find out some things that seem more 'concrete', so to speak.
self professed 'demon hunters' are often debunked as frauds, but some people seem to make a real living out of it. the problem is that most of them claim normal people can't even see demons. which... makes it pretty hard for them to support any of their claims.
because demons are supposedly 'invisible' to all but a select few, it's difficult to fight them, and those who can supposedly possess supernatural means to do so, whether naturally, or because of spells or weaponry designed to be wielded against them. there's also lots of talk of using holy weapons against them - blessed steel, holy water, cleric spells, etc.
some sites classify 'vampires' as demons, and some talk about demons more as abstractions than monsters, as if they are simply manifestations of things like hatred, fear, gluttony, etc.
there's plenty of speculation on where they come from as well. christian mythology suggests hell and the devil, but those who believe in shadow pantheons talk about 'nine hells' instead, and an almost infinite number of 'demon dimensions' known collectively as the Abyss.
it's while she's in the middle of looking at this that kat leans over her shoulder. ]
