★ 2013 Watty Finalist ★ The day Reyna gives her friend Dante the chance to be her boyfriend is the day a demon's soul awakens within her body. His name is Mundus, and he can read her thoughts and sense her emotions. Reyna desires her normal life back but instead finds herself spooked by her mysteriously scarred uncle and stalked by a disturbed young man with a living shadow. When confronted by the young man, he proves to be dangerous and fearsome. In order to have a fighting chance, someone as powerful needs to be found, and Mundus is the one for the job. His body with its power still exists, but it's sealed away in the realm of demons. And Reyna is the only one that can take him to it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***NOT a Devil May Cry fanfic - "Mundus" and "Dante" are stand-in names because I suck at names.

When your soul is hunted, you can't hide forever. Thousands of years ago, an evil known as the corruption seeped into the land. Where once it was contained by the Sentinels -- humans or elves gifted with magic -- it now thrives unchallenged, gaining strength and claiming those that once fought it for its own. Nineteen year old Skye has always known this. Living with demons on your doorstep is a constant fight for survival, but she’s determined to not become one of the corruption’s monsters. To keep her soul pure, no matter the cost. But with the Sentinels gone, betrayed by their own, it’s only a matter of time before the corruption seizes them all. When a scouting mission goes awry and Skye is taken prisoner, her blades can’t save her. Marked by the corrupted Sentinel, she waits for a fate worse than death to take hold. Only when the Silverborn, knights dedicated to fighting the corruption come to free her does something awaken within her. Something powerful. The power of a Sentinel. Celestial. Fire. Water. Nature. Shadow. None are safe from the corruption. *+*+*+*
