Jason Teufel
History is written by the victors. It's something we've known for years. The classic biblical tale depicts an eternal struggle between gruesome demons and gallant angels. Good vs. evil. Light vs. dark. But what if this is just another skewed perception of history? What if the truth is so much darker then a black and white tale? Jason Teufel is haunted by dreams of an ancient battlefield field covered with fire and smoke, monstrous creatures fighting legions of angels, and hidden gems that glow with power. Of these nightmares, it is the hall that scares him the most. Cold and dark, he is dragged through a long hallway night after night, the still breath of death bearing ever down on him. When a terrifying vampire by the name of Moragan, kidnaps Jason in the hopes of resurrecting a terrible evil, he is forced to confront the horrors of his mind. Hunted by angels and demons alike, the once cut and dry biblical fiction becomes so much hazier then it had once seemed. Evil fights evil and good seems suspiciously absent from either side. With nothing as it should be, Jason must traverse the bowls of the earth, each step unlocking a new clue to the reason behind the war of Heaven and Hell. As the dreams become clearer, Jason becomes colder. Perhaps a "gift" from Moragan or perhaps something that has always been there, the darkness within begins to change him. Now there is a choice that must be made, with the truth laid bare at his feet, will he cling to the old ideas of history or will he resist the powers that be...Complete
