Ronixis got the impression that Dean didn't quite believe him. Just a feeling. Not that it mattered. Ronixis probably wouldn't have believed it if he'd been from twenty-first century Earth either, before space travel beyond the solar system had become a reality. "It's a change," he admitted with a shrug. "I spent the last few months on a planet called Roak though which in terms of technology equates to roughly seventeenth century Europe. This place at least has electricity."

He laughed softly, shaking his head. "You don't have to humour me, you know," he said after a moment, smiling wryly. "I guess it's one of those things you have to see to be able to believe it happens. I wouldn't have believed in demons and monsters and magic if I hadn't encountered it first hand."
