Alexander’s brows shot up at the sympathy he could read in the other man’s eyes “…thanks. I can’t remember my mother. And I was just a boy when the old man burned out.” He gave the other man’s hand an annoyed glance when he kept touching himself “so I am getting…ready to sex things up to spill out energy when a certain type of creature comes near?”
He tried not to look at what Diaval was doing with his hand “Were my ancestors made just to be used like that?” he frowned at the idea “a rechargeable, self lubing battery?” he growled the words, getting pissed off at the idea. His powers had always been this double-edged sword for him. He knew he was good at what he did, one of the best in his field and he knew Sam was proud to call him his shaman. He could do amazing things, but he’d also done horrible things. He kept people safe, he had saved so many, but he’d also gotten his loved ones killed.
And though many had tried to use him, no one had succeeded, nor had they taken his powers from him. The idea of picking between being used or dying because he could not contain what was living inside of him made him furious “yeah. Real fucking clever.” He sat up, his knees pulling to his chest, “so what the fuck am I supposed to do about this?”
Diaval smiled a bit. "I never really had what you would call a 'doting' parent or a parent really who ever gave a shit about me. I was birthed out of... necessity or something. Not entirely sure." Though he did note the other's annoyance at him, raising an eyebrow and moved his hand away from his still hard length that now lay against one leg.
"No, they were made to be the counter balance to demons," he said softly. "They absorbed the excess magic in the world so that the demons could not harvest it for themselves and become more powerful and throw the world out of balance. They were able to be a conduit for the excess magic and through rituals that long ago were forgotten, return it to the ether of the void." He propped himself up to look at the other male, tipping his head. "When the demons discovered they could use their own magic to draw the magic out of your ancestors by force well... they became the ideal mate for demons."
"I am sorry if this upsets you," he said softly, sitting up as well. "You must discover a way to release the excess magic that you absorb... safely. You cannot exude it back into the world around you, not in a way that is great enough to have any kind of a difference on the buildup within you. There are some magical items that could do it for you, stones that draw on magical energy, talismans... or several powerful beings that could drain it from you as well. As I did."
