Democles nodded "Demons? Angels? What are those? I've...never heard of these things. I've heard tales of Demigods... champions, however."
"I'm just understanding these concepts. forgive me but my traditions never had something like that...Christians were all new in my time."
"There's a lot... to ask... I guess I have to catch up on 2000 years of everything then,right?"

"Maybe not the entire two thousand years, just the highlights."
Lady almost forgot about the old Roman religion. Though yanked right from the paces of Greek religion. Changing the names of the gods of old. Zeus to Jupiter. Ares to Mars. But they were very real. Proven to be real due to the mere presence of the superhero Gaia and the menace that was Medusa in Kansas City. But so were the angels of heaven and the demons of hell.
"Yes, both the demons and angels that the Jews and the Christians spoke of are very real in this world. As well as vampires and werewolves and zombies and ghosts. Then there are those with powers who still identify as human. Superhumans, meta-humans, mutants, and so on. It is a strange world indeed I must admit."

Damocles bit his tongue "I personally met a goddess named Summer in my...world, she revived me over time but demons...angels are Real? So everything the races around me are true.... Then everything I knew before... is a lie. The emperors lied to us... Not only that different race... What. are Superhumans, meta-humans and mutants and more?"
His beliefs were falling apart at the seems.. but he'd form new ones eventually.

"Humans with special gifts. Like the power to manipulate the elements. Heal wounds that would otherwise kill the average man. Read the thoughts or emotions of others. And even mutations that turn them into little more than monsters and beasts. Like I said it is a strange world."
And the world was just getting stranger. Lady knew the Romans had their beliefs. The belief in the gods and Champions of myth. Much like Greece before them. And the Greek gods who would later become the Roman gods only aided those beliefs and delusions to stroke their own egos. To think the Jewish-Christian god existed on top of it all. Making the claim, "I am the one true god!" all the more commanding and in a different context from what the Christians first believed.

Democles sighed "Personally not sure what to think anymore the way things keep changing, new races, new different creatures, different gods, different beliefs, it all hurts my head
He's trying to add a hint of humor in his seriousness, if he was laughing that was.
He closed his eyes "Dear Jupiter, what is real anymore?!"
All this new information surrounding him could drive the Roman to madness.
Almost anyway.
He'd find a way to endure.

"You will find there are many in this world who no longer worship the old gods. Or any gods for that matter and they find peace in it. And of course there are still some who do worship the gods and they find peace in it too. It's all down to personal choice."
If Lady wasn't a demon. Had she never renounced her own god. She would still be a devoted follower of Christ. But she threw all of that away in the heat of the flames all them years ago. Being alone and sentenced to death. She became a demon and served Lucifer until she met her. Esther. The child who would change her destiny forever. She knows one day she will burn in hell for her sins, but for right now she would enjoy the things that the world had to offer. Even if they were made by the gods.

Lady offered him another kind smile. If only he knew just how strong Rose was. The child had been to the mouth of hell and still continues to smile and shine brightly like the prophet heaven wanted her to be. If that was the road Rose chose to take when she was old enough to take it then Lady would support it. If not Lady would also support whatever path she chose to go down. And if she had to fight some angels to make sure she had that right then so be it.
Lady stopped when she saw a clothes store and looked over to Democles. Of course the Roman outfit was out of place and gathered a lot of stray eyes looking their way. Getting him dressed in something more casual might be the way to go. If he was comfortable enough to wear such garments.
"If I may perhaps we can find you something more comfortable to wear. To help you blend in better. My treat."

Damocles looked around "Are... you sure? I have no way to pay you back, all I have is these ancient dracmas."
But Lady was right, many people were staring in their direction, and he nodded, reluctantly.
"Alright, where do modern people go to... shop? Besides the market?"

"We have many places to shop for various items. Some more specific than others. Follow me."
Lady led Democles into the clothing store she spotted and continued to push little baby Rose as she came to the men's aisle and started looking at clothes. It had been some time since she shopped for men's clothes. Not having had a male member of the family for some time. But she still remembered the things that men liked to wear. Coming up to a white shirt with blue jeans and a black jacket.
"How about this? Winter is coming soon and you'll need something to keep warm."
