The apparition could tell the group was preparing to fight. He knew that if any of them were to try fighting, they had no chance against him. Of course, being just an apparition, he had no chance against them either.
Elijah and Layne, try as they might, could not note any sort of real weakness in this figure either. They did note, however, that the apparition might have been some sort of minor demon - an incorporeal one, in fact. Why he hadn't hurt the group yet was a mystery.
"Calm down and listen," the apparition said. "It's not my own cruelty that brings me to meet you out here. That is Master's bidding. As for who he is-" ...at this point, the apparition stared at Walter, his tails twitching... "-he's not a demon. No no, he's something far worse-"
"-a LICH!" Damon interrupted. He looked somewhat panicky, his hands on his staff. "Listen, I've heard about this guy plenty of times. Why don't you just cut the taunting and get down to business, ghost-boy?"
"That's Satael to you, demonhalf," the apparition responded. "And since you seem to be so ANXIOUS to know, why don't you just ask me about him? I've got all night, you know."
