Transcript of The Hunger Games. It seemed pretty straightforward and anyway, everytime we interfere with a Nephilim or a demon, we are in some ways, 'ending Winter's reign,' or whatever. He would never win points for manners but he was one of the oldest Hunters in existence and had seen things that was now the stuff of legends. More like history, really, since I was around for a good part of it and you weren't paying attention the first time I told you. In the early years of her training, she had not cared very much for the historical aspects of her . She had not wanted to do anything that gave the appearance that she accepted in any way her semi- immortal state. In fact, her resentment and grief over losing her family, practically overnight, made her rebellious and surly. She often redirected her anger towards her trainers and other Hunters, something Haymitch had figured out early on.

In consequence, she had retained very little of Hunter lore, a deficit that Haymitch appeared ready to rectify. I figured God or somebody created Hunters to help keep Nephilim in check and send Demons back to the Underworld. The fact is, Hunters showed up late in human history. Nephilim have actually been around for a long time. In different religious text, they'll tell you that Nephilim walked the earth long before the Flood and in fact, lived alongside humans. Demons also were not as restricted to the Underworld as they are now. Everything was more fluid and there was a lot more magic in the world back then. The only difference between an Angel and a Demon is an Angel falls on the side of order and rationalism. We call it the good but in fact, it's just another way of conceiving the way the universe works - there are rules and Angels adhere to them without exception. They maintain order and inspire that desire in humans also. They like things to make sense. Science, Mathematics and all the arts are encouraged and loved by those beings who ally themselves to Angels. Humans always make morality about good and evil as if those were the intrinsic qualities. But the real qualities that separate beings in the universe is order and chaos. The consequences of each lead to things that then result in good or evil. She was deeply fascinated by Haymitch's explanation and only now realized what a great storyteller he was. Every one of us beings in this fine, clusterfuck of a universe has one thing in common - we are free. We choose the way we want to be. Every single one of us, from human to demi- god and everybody in between, even Demons, have free will and are perfectly able to exercise it. Are they just disorganized? They don't reign in their strong feelings and emotions because they don't think that it is right to do so. They love explosions and acts of destruction because they are an expression of uncontrolled strength. They are messy and impulsive and prefer instinct over rationality. They lived on Earth also and created Nephilim because they did not obey the rules against marrying humans that Angels imposed on themselves.? No, because at that point in human history, they walked the Earth like humans did. Angels foresaw the consequences of fraternizing with humans and chose to avoid it. Their philosophy is what differentiates them. The Demon form is hideous and terrifying to humans but the Angelic form is not. They choose that form. They are perfectly capable of appearing as humans or Angels. It's a matter of style. Demons and their spawn began to abuse their superior power and subjugate their weaker fellow humans. They introduced the concept of slavery. One of the Demons, a creature who calls herself Alma, rose up as a leader. She was instrumental in creating the schism between Angels who wanted to separate themselves from the race of humans and end the abuses of the Nephilim and Demons who felt it was their right to rule based on their superior gifts. This rift grew deeper and deeper as she recruited more Angels and Nephilim to her side until there was no choice but to go to war. It resulted in the banishment of Demons to the underworld. Alma, her Demons and their Nephilim offspring lost that battle, partly because humans allied themselves to Angels and many Nephilim turned against their brothers and sisters. They became known as Defiants. It's where the modern term for beings who don't conform to their races comes from. The ones who paid the most were humans and Nephilim, whose populations were both decimated. Many of the stories in religious texts and epic poems that we read today have their original sources in these battles, obviously corrupted from the passage of time. The Baghavad Gita, The Illiad, The Legend of Gilgamesh - they all tell different versions of the same battle, though the original story has changed over time. On a small scale, Demons do continue to move into the human realm. But they can't cross over without the help of humans, because a soul exchange is required for them to enter our realm. Blood rituals are an extreme form of this ritual but there are many minor practices that will bring a Demon into the human realm and, because they are not bound to any one form, they often merge with humans and Nephilim without difficulty. Because the Nephilim were so badly reduced, they were allowed to live amongst humans, but they had to swear an oath to not band together for the purposes of subjugating humanity. Guardians and Hunters were created from among humans to essentially police the Nephilim population and are empowered to destroy them if they violate the terms of their surrender. They are clearly acting on behalf of Demons, who can only enter the human realm a soul at a time. Hence the uptick in rituals you see around the city. That's already a major violation of the terms of their oath and is punishable by death. Of greater concern is the Gem of Souls. By building one with souls numerous and pure enough - and mind you, most human souls will do just fine but they tend to try to be efficient and go for the children - those beings can enter en masse. And remember why the war started to begin with? They'll invade the human realm. This time, a battle would involve Angels, Guardians and Demon Hunters fighting a rabid gang of Demons and Nephilim - it'll be a greater war than the first one. We can't count on many Defiants this time - any who survived the war either went into hiding or were killed outright for their betrayal and this new generation of Nephilim do not appear to have the same problems with their loyalties as their ancient kin. She was almost positive that there was at least one Defiant who had survived the first war.? Well, you can't regulate every dick in the universe. And there is the matter than Nephilim themselves have gone on to be with humans and some of those offspring are as strong as their parents. They possess advanced technology and weapons of mass destruction. Those same Demons will have Nephilim and human sympathizers who will certainly have access to those weapons. I know I would if I were in their place. She felt a dull throb at the top of her head and realized she was concentrating so hard, she'd given herself a headache. And the way I see it, we don't have the luxury of losing. Remember what our job is here. It isn't to fight for good or evil. We are fighting for equilibrium. Because when it does, the entire universe feels it, from the largest galaxy to the tiniest organelle. And never forget, Demons have no use for balance, not them and not their kin. If I were you, I wouldn't stay in your place alone. I've sent out a call to all Demon Hunters and invited them to regroup at the Citadel until further notice. You should stay here with us. I'm sure we could find a nice, comfortable tube for you to sleep in, if necessary. This is the real deal. I haven't seen a ramp up like this since the War of the Hosts. That's a helluva long time ago, a long time to be feeding the kind of resentment these Demons have. I am not prepared to lose my Hunters, or this war, over this. Plus, I need every Hunter at my disposal for our next field assignment. Are you going to stick around, then? However, she also wasn't looking forward to being attacked in her own home. Demons and Nephilim could not enter a habitation without invitation but that simple magic would not keep them from waiting for her outside her door and ambushing her. Even with her bow, Katniss might not be fast or strong enough to fight off a crowd of creatures. With resignation, she rose from her seat. She had her father's bow, of course, which, upon her transformation, had become the sentinel she now carried at her side. She had his hunting coat, a painting of her family, and the family crest, a bird in a circle holding an arrow in its beak. Made of bronze, Katniss routinely pulled it out to run along the edge of the circle, interrupted by the body of the bird as it bent to lift the heft of the arrow. It reminded Katniss of hunting in the woods with her father, laying snares and hiking through the mist- covered forests. Katniss leaned back against the headboard, safe at the moment from invasion. Her home was a stronghold that was protected by the most ancient, powerful magic. No creature - Demon or Angelic - could enter her home without her invitation. And Katniss, in keeping with her character, had invited very few humans, much less supernatural folk, into her living space. Exhaustion stole over Katniss as she closed her eyes for a moment to rest. The wind was howling tonight, blowing in off the Hudson, carrying the smell of brine and dying fish into the city.
