Prologe:
It was the night before my 18th birthday. Something changed. I cant quite put my finger on it. It was almost midnight, I had just woken up from a strange irritating dream. I was in the middle of a battle, with what looked like something that crawled from the bottomless fiery depths of Hell. there was a ring of fire in which I was standing. I had a crucifix in my left hand and one of the seven holy daggers in my right. This dream had been recurring. Weeks upon weeks of the same dream. Which means its bound to happen, right?
I go downstairs to see what my father had been up to. He works non-stop every night, for what I presume to be work reasons. But, I found that that reason to be a lie. I walk around to his "office" and see he has the seven holy daggers in his clutch. Cleaning and sharpening the blades is what it looks like.
" Dad?" I stutter in a confused voice. He turns around with a stern look on his face.
" Cierra, Its time you knew the truth...."
