The Plan
“It all comes down to souls,” the Imp told me. “To become an adult demon I need a soul.”
“You have mine.”
“Yes I do, but to become a powerful demon I need more.”
“How many?”
“All of them.”
“That’s impossible.”
“Well obviously not every single soul, but as many as possible. Thankfully, like any true parasite humans reproduce remarkably quickly. It should only take ten or so generations to tip the balance.”
“I don’t understand.”
“You were the first and your children are the first generation.”
“I still don’t understand.”
He sighed.
“What do you know about genetic memory?”
