This poor little blind faun child got lost from her herd as they were chased by a predator and is now all alone in the big scary forest. The chance of a faun child, especially a blind one, surviving alone is very slim. She will continue to baah and whine, hoping that anyone in the herd will hear. She has no idea how far away they are.
Luckily for the faun, a slow-moving, friendly forest troll walked by her not too long after the faun was left alone. At first, the faun kept very quiet, as one would after hearing and sensing those heavy steps through the ground. However, the troll’s cheerful humming as well as the whip of her tail tuft against the faun’s face was enough to make the faun crave the troll’s attention. Something familiar like rugged hair scented with dirt and forest greenery made the faun believe this must be someone good! Since the troll was indeed neither hungry or in a bad mood (who could be mad when the weather was so nice??), she let the faun tag along. The poor thing was so tiny, who could have the heart to leave her alone anyway??
“Hey Ash! Ya got something on yer tail there!”
“Nah, this one’s with me! Her name’s Radish, cute ain’t she?”
“Like honey on an apple! Where’d ya find her?”
“She lost her herd appearently… She can’t see nothin’ so she clings to my tail worse than a new-born baby!”
“Why that’s sorta adorable… She has a hard time talkin’ too, hasn’t she?”
Demon horns being broken halos from when they were angels.
Demons willingly grow their own halos, but never complete the circle to symbolize their rebellion against heaven’s strict order.
In addition to the second one, angels are GIVEN their halos rather than earning them. Demons like Lucifer rebelled for freedom and individuality, thus demon horns all look different compared to an angel’s boring halo.
Horns are useful tools, but if you join them into a circle they become useless badges of authority.
And the thing about wearing a badge is that you become a symbol of someone else. You’re not you, you’re an extension of the entity whose authority you’re borrowing. You can’t be yourself until you ditch it
Here’s a visual representation of angels and demons.
I figure that as angels, their “horns” would glow when connected to become traditional halos. However, this blinds the angel with heavenly light, making the angel rely on God’s guidance.
Angels who break their halos become demons, and willingly grow their horns in obscure shapes so it won’t connect back into a halo. Because the halo no longer blinds them, demons can finally see but can no longer communicate with God for guidance – the light they once gave to heaven now belongs to them, hence demons being proficient with fire allowing them to see in the dark.
Extra notes on horns & halos:
Circular horns (Halos) are smooth and easy for God to “grab” like a chain.
Jagged horns are sharp to the touch and can pierce God.
Crucial notes I forgot to add:
The only way angels can break their own halos is through strong, direct, hard force; rebellious angels willingly fell from heaven, breaking their halos upon hitting our world’s surface. That’s why demons are called “fallen angels”.
The only thing that can hurt God and other angels is another angel, so the shattered remains of a demon’s old halo would be reformed into tridents and pitchforks commonly associated with the devil.
Regretful demons wishing to commune with God again would either try to grow their horns back into a halo, or clasp their hands in prayer to form a circle with their own body mimicking a halo. It would faintly work.
These demons would become the first priests, and spread the practice to humans.
centaurs would work if you replace the horse body with a giraffe, because it’d suit the anatomy of a centaur to live of fruits and leafs up in very tall trees.
Also they’d look hilarious when they have to drink water.
