Ayl raised his eyebrow, surprised that the girl hadn't heard of them yet. "No, they're not demons.. Not necessarily, anyway." He took a moment to look around the area, scanning for any signs of potential eavesdroppers before continuing his explanation. "Silencers are like us, humans who have been gifted with the power of a demon. Difference is.. They're out to kill us."<br/><br/>He started walking down the street, motioning with an arm for the girl to follow him. "Y'see, after the demons started noticing how powerful Hunters have become by sharing their powers, they decided to try it for themselves.. Found some humans who were either willing to betray their own race, or who were too weak-willed to do anything about it. The latter kind is completely dominated - the human they take over is more or less erased from existence, replaced with some fucked up half-breed. Those ones aren't too horrible; maybe a bit more capable than a normal demon, but it's easy to tell what they are, and they aren't exactly brimming with intelligence. The former, on the other hand, you have to watch out for. They have the appearance and mindset of a human, but the incredible powers and bloodlust of a demon. They can trick you, make you believe they're on your side.. Or they can just beat you into oblivion with no recourse." He stopped in front of a dilapidated building, casually peering around the area. With no noticeable sign of anybody else, he pushed open its front door, gesturing inside with his free hand. "After you, m'lady."
