But never mind all that! I hate that I am writing my own set of rules for the supernatural species, but I can't help it.
Enjoy the show XOXO

Fenris stared at the man in his sleeping bag. He was short, maybe 5'8". He had short curly black hair and though his eyes were closed, Fenris could remember the dark brown pools that shone from within. He was fairly slim, but he had definite bulk across his shoulders as well as a visible line of abs on his stomach.
His clothes had torn entirely during his transformation and Fenris had been forced to donate some of his own that he had been carrying in a suitcase that, fortunately, hadn't been incinerated in the helicopter crash. They were still hanging loosely from Owen's frame, but the boy hadn't seemed to notice. He was probably too exhausted to realise he was wearing clothes that were at least four sizes too big for him.
During those brief moments of nudity when Fenris had a lapse in manners, he had seen Owen's naked body. He had seen the flaccid member lying peacefully across his thigh, seen the carefully cultivated patch of hairs that led a trail from his abdomen to his crotch.
"You mustn't get too attached lad." Caesar told him with a sympathetic tone. "I know it's difficult, but you have to remember what he is."
"I know, I know. But he just seems so... harmless."
"It is harmful though boy. It would kill you if it could."
"He's not an it. He's a guy, just like you and me."
"But we're not just guys either. We're werewolves lad... well I used to be. Damn strong ones at that."
"I feel for you, kid, I really do. But it's too dangerous: you never know
what might start him off again."
"I get it Caesar, I get it. No falling for Daemons." He sat down and began to brood.
Here he was, in the prime of life, with nothing to lose. He had an ancient werewolf camping inside his head and he had a very cute Daemon asleep in his sleeping bag. He had successfully captured his target and temporarily saved the world. But something still nagged at him. He was twitchy and on edge constantly since he had picked up the Daemon. He was always worried that he would say or do something that would reveal his true nature. Life was shitty.

Caesar watched his host and listened to his mental ramblings for as long as he could bear, but there was only so much angst a man can take before he wants to make a run for the border. He sank out of Fenris' field of vision and retreated to his own little corner of the boy's mind.
It was important that he remained focused on the task at hand, even though they were momentarily victorious they couldn't just stop working. He hadn't detected any decrease in the energy being emitted from the obelisk, so the sentience they had trapped inside it must still sense a threat. Was it possible that the people the Daemon had been able to kill had possessed enough combined force to allow more of the Pit's denizens to cross? He had been targeting stronger sources of power first, but Caesar had felt the Mjols come and leave this reality before they had had time to intercept the little critters.
If enough of our reality's essence had been transferred to the Pit then small particles of Chaos would be able to filter back. The overall effect was miniscule until the number of particles reached the point when they could collide with each other. Once two Chaos particles smashed together and fused, they would begin to attract other particles of the same origin. If enough clumped together then a doorway would open permanently. There were so few Chaos particles crossing naturally and they decayed so quickly that nothing had ever happened so far, but if the Daemon were somehow reactivated then it would work to increase the flow.
The only logical plan of action was to execute the Daemon and therefore avert catastrophe, but Caesar knew that Fenris would never do it. It was a definite character flaw that the boy had such powerful distinctions between right and wrong. Very few people were lucky enough to be born without empathy and those that were often became homicidal monsters, Caesar had only met one pacifist psychopath in his entire lifetime. Even then, the vampire was only a pacifist because he couldn't be bothered with the "paperwork" of murder.
Caesar frowned internally. It was unlikely that he could convince Fenris to relinquish control of the body for long enough for him to kill the Daemon. And since Fenris and Caesar were the only two people alive who knew what Owen was it was unlikely that he would ever be able to coerce someone else into doing it for him, especially since no one else could see or hear Caesar.
Then it struck him, he would have to tell Owen about his true nature and
compel him to take his own life for the common good. But that was highly
risky; it could trigger the transformation and reawaken the Daemon. No,
Caesar would just have to wait for the perfect opportunity to strike.

Owen awoke the next morning feeling refreshed and restored. His mind felt
cleared of all the cobwebs that had been floating around in it last night. A result of which was that he realised a the significance of a few key details he might otherwise have missed.
