Demons have plagued the world for decades now. When they appeared they brought freak storms, new volcanos, strange fertile havens in otherwise uninhabitable places, and much more. But that's ancient history, especially to Ash Valley, WA. Demons may be a nuisance, but they aren't all bad. Maggie's house-mate Sam used to possess her brother Dill. Her cousin Sandler's mother died from a possession gone wrong. That's just the way the world works. Occasionally you have to dig out the torches and pitchforks to drive off an invading force that wants to destroy your town. Except, things don't like to stay quiet after a demon war. Especially in a Ash Valley, and especially for a family who have been monster-hunters since the start.  A new demonic force has already popped up. One that may mean disaster, or at least according to Sam. One that may just show how... human... these Demons can be.

30 parts Complete Mature
The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.

After Liara discovers her boyfriend has been brutally murdered, she retreats to a cabin in the Canadian wilderness with three of her friends in an attempt to get away from humanity. For Liara and her friends are demons. Demons have lived alongside humans for centuries. There is great tension between the two species, and acts of violence are common. Perhaps this world needs to be saved... The friends soon discover that this whole trip was a carefully constructed trap. Their retreat turns into a struggle for survival, as a group of humans arrive at the cabin with the sole intention to hunt and kill the demons. However, after a strange obelisk appears in the driveway, and a staircase leading only to darkness is discovered, it becomes clear that something else is going on here... Pray to Liara for luck. Hide in the darkness with Azarial. Alter your perception with Sumita. Share your blood with Kivar. For this is not a journey you will easily forget...
