Surprisingly few people know of me.

Is that a complaint? Do you want to be known, Belphegor?

No, quite the opposite. I am gratified by my anonymity; it makes melting into society so much easier.

So relish the gift and thank our Father for it. [Duh, isn't is obvious?]

I do appreciate it, it is merely surprising.

People have forgotten how to believe in that which they can't see. Demons included. Hence, fewer demonologists, fewer who would know you.

Very true. My name is in books, in Binsfield's classification of demons -- but the recent truth of my Rising remains unwritten. It makes me glad that people so rarely recognize the name Belphegor.

Unwritten? [Sariel smirks.] I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Oh really, now?

My current duty in town, besides serving as liason to the anahim, is as Guardian to the prophet writing the modern gospel.

I see. And who might this prophet be?

A priest by the name of Samuel (http://broken_gospel.livejournal.com/profile).

I do not believe I have had the pleasure. It is strange to imagine that our actions are reduced to writings.

But Belphegor--don't you want the world to know what miracles He performs even today?

Of course.

"Good on you, darling. One's reputation is quite colourful and usually incorrect!"

Indeed. Demonologists rarely get anything right. Really, they thought I looked like a goblin in my true form.

"Wild imaginations have they. Ah, tis amusing though one will admit!"

An insult to my vanity it may be, but I will admit it is amusing.

Trust me, human ignorance will only serve you well.

Quite. It allows me to blend in, for which I am grateful.
