Kosuke subconsciously cocked his head to the side as he listened to the Ranger's explanation. His eyebrows rose somewhere near the end of it. "A demon huh?" he mumbled. So the Ranger suspected a demon was going to try to take him over. That couldn't possibly be a good thing. From what Kosuke knew, demons often had very dark auras, sometimes ever black, and were more often than not wicked, vile creatures. They also tended to be extremely vengeful.<br/><br/>Kosuke ran through several spells, incantations, potions and such in his head. He focused on healing and medicine, but master white mages were required to know all sorts of white magic. That included the types that priest typically used... the kind to keep away demons.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, his skills in this were very rusty. It depended on the strength of the demon, but if and when it did take control over the Ranger, he could probably suppress it for a while. He had the magical power to solve the problem, possibly for good, but not the knowledge. At least not on the tip of his tongue.<br/><br/>After a moment, the boy reached down and grasped the string of his pendant. He held it up so that the tree piece was dangling in the air. "Do you know what this is?" Kosuke asked.
