Prologue
To those who read this,
Run. I'm Stella Lydon, but I also go by many other names.
To sum it up, I'm being hunted. You may have heard of the epic quests, of the lone-huntress who kicked butt and saved the world a number of times, with the fantastic seven. If not, you're missing out and I better explain. I'm a Demihunter. Demihunters' are as rare as one in a billion-trillion, that's a lot of zeros. We call ourselves Demihunters because we are half Demigod, half Shadowhunter.
A Demigod is kind of a mistake. Demigods are when a God/Goddess, Greek, Roman, Norse or other, takes a fancy to a human (mundane, mortal or muggle) and they, um... have a kid. Some people might be like: oh cool, your dad/mum is a god!!! But trust me, you don't want to be a demigod.
A Shadowhunter is a superhuman warrior, sworn to protect the world from the demons or "shadows" that try and take over it. They are super-human warriors because a man named Jonathan Shadowhunter, called upon the mighty Angel Raziel for help to rid the world of the demons. Raziel took pity on Jonathan and decided to turn him into Nephilim (Shadowhunter) by producing the mortal cup, in which he had mixed his own heavenly blood with human blood. Jonathan drank from the cup and became the first Shadowhunter. Nowadays to become a Shadowhunter you are either born into it or trained (if you are trained you need to drink from the cup).
But without all the technical stuff, my friends and I kick monster butt. As I said before I'm being hunted by all sorts of demons and monsters. I need to stop talking because the more I tell you, the more you know, the more danger you're in. I really need to go and so do you. All of this; this is before my friends and I knew what we were.
By the way, you will now see things you can't unsee.
Oh and welcome to the shadow world.
