But he trusted Hikari with all his heart, so he began to open up."My demonic side comes from my heritage," Mychal started. "I am the offspring of Lucifer; the fallen angel turned Demon of Destruction, and Lumina, the Goddess of Light and Creation. Their union created a unique blend of darkness and light within me."Hikari listened attentively, feeling honored that Mychal shared this intimate part of himself with her."Sometimes, my demonic side awakens when my emotions are overwhelming," Mychal continued.
