Rules the underworld...? Interesting that there is a known underworld in Popp's reality and that people are blessed by it. Dimitri always imagined it would inflict curses; there again, most of his understanding of life after death come in the form of horrific hallucinations of those he's lost.

It is noted how cavalier the other boy is though about battle. To him, it seems the stakes might be lower. Obviously, there is some sense of danger but not in the grave way that Dimitri and his friends have faced. "Do you have any such blessings?" Dimitri thinks to ask. That might make sense, actually, since he seems so confident.

"For my part, I only have a Crest - a special type of blood - that enhances my strength. I can't always control it though, unfortunately." He breaks weapons a lot unintentionally.
