He sighs. "Yes. The Dominion Treaty. You must be rather ill informed if you didn't know about it. He sighs again and launches into another explanation.
"Eons ago, when God first created the world as we know it, we angels were still new to the scene. And then, God created man, and... I'm assuming you already know the story of how the first demons were created. Anyway... A few millennia ago, there was a huge war between the angels and demons over the fact that you demons kept interfering in our work. Finally, an angel was killed, and then the war followed. There were... Heavy losses. On both sides. Finally, God had to intervene to save his creation, Mankind, from extinction thanks to our war. He forged the Treaty, forcing our Micheal, and your Lucifer, to sign the treaty. Afterwards, they disappeared, and nobody knows what has happened to either. The memories of mankind during the war were wiped, and the land restored. The treaty basically said that we could no longer interfere in others' business, and that there was to be no Gate between Heaven and Hell. Why one was ever there in the first place, I will never know. Perhaps God still had faith his creation would return to the light." He sneers disdainfully at Phorsaal before continuing. "We can no longer save those you have captured, nor can you try to take those we have been assigned to protect. Oh, and in case you were wondering why I have been protecting this girl, is because she prayed for it. In fact, there's an angel watching over almost all the families in this area. This place is particularly religious." He says, his condescending grin reappearing.
