Damien showed no sign of surprise or disbelief because he felt nothing of Enrique's claims. He listened without stirring, his deep eyes penetrating and his mouth drawn in a pensive line.
At the end of the man's spiel, Damien placed his knuckles on the table and pushed himself up to his full hight. "Extraordinary claims,"
he said in a neutral voice. "A traitor to one master could easily turn on another."
Damien did not demand an answer.
Damien drew upon the Light and with a simple pattern produced a jagged spear of fire held out in front of him; his hands did not burn. "Rumour often holds a grain of truth, but rumours do not know a tenth of what I could do."
Damien edged around the table at a relaxed - if a little stiff - pace. "I do happen to agree on one thing your friends declare. Power corrupts. But it is not the power of this,"
he motioned to the jagged flame, "it is something far more primitive."
Damien shook his head, not bothering to elaborate. "You speak of true monsters. The ones you hunt. Tell me, are there any in Mexico? You can prove your claims by showing me one of these monsters. I will help you hunt it."
