sinneth, it shall die.
Prologue:
The Journal of Catherine Von Kampen
First
Entry 1490
I don't know what today is. I stopped caring about time. I know it
was the first of May when my family was killed. I met another Hunter; he
told me that I have to write down my notes, my thoughts, and my kills. He
said that a Hunter's journal was their life line. It holds their secrets,
it holds their rituals, and it holds everything they learn. I ran into
him hunting of all things a vampire. I heard it had information about the
demon that killed my family. It turned out it wasn't a vampire; it was a
vampire like demon, an Alp. It normally looks human, but its true shape is
horrible. It was hunched, skin that fell
off its body, and had sharp rows of blood stained teeth; it had horns of red,
and it seemed that it had hair of fire. If it hadn't been for that other Hunter,
whose name is John, I might be dead. As it is, I have a nasty wound, but
John put some herbs on it, he said they were lavender and thyme, with sage and
a flower he called Calendua. I am lucky to be alive. John told me
to forget revenge to go home, to marry, and to have children. I
laughed. My life was over the second my brothers were killed. John
just told me the date is about mid-July. Makes sense... It doesn't seem
like that long ago I celebrated my brother's birthday... Edmund... my heart
still breaks for Donatello, the baby, and Edmund, and Hugo, the oldest
boy. I miss them so much. My heart breaks. It is broken. So I laughed at
John. I have to avenge my brothers. They were my life. My
soul. My heart. I would freely give my life for them to be alive
once more. I would freely give my soul for them to be here once
more. I found out about a demon that gives those wishes. I have to find out more, I have to find it...
Early Fall 1490
John and I went our separate ways. He
found out about my trying to make a deal. I did my first exorcism.
It is so different than just having the words, and knowing the steps,
performing one is so different. You don't have time to do the whole 500 plus pages of the Rituale Romanum. You do
it quick and dirty, in Latin. You call upon archangels in your own way,
you especially call upon Michael. You place a protection spell on the
person the demon is possessing (you want to do everything possible to save the
human). Then you prevent the demon from leaving before the rite is
finished, by doing a binding. Finally the last part is sending the demon
back to hell. This person I performed the rite on died. John had
told me sometimes the demon had already drained the life of the person they possessed.
The demon said something though that bothers me. It knew I was hunting
for the one demon, and it knew why. It said to find the demon I seek I
must first seek the truth of my existence. It said I was more than
human. But it was a demon and they are evil and evil beings lie- but I
have learned that lies are always built on a small bit of fact...
All Hallows Eve 1490
Vampires in Ireland??? Must find out
more about them...
Also was told today is All Hallows Eve that is why I am seeing more activity... that means it is my 18th birthday....

Winter 1490
Found out salt, especially when it forms a
circle; is a way to protect one's self and used to purify locations. To salt the ground is a way to prevent evil
from growing (used mostly in cemeteries as one can't grow anything on salted
land.) Must make sure I have a permanent supply of salt...
New Year’s 1941
What a way to ring in the new year... I ran
into a Catholic priest who was possessed, the demon was getting people to sin. It was successful because it used the body of
their priest. The priest said it was
fine to sin, because the Lord created them to live happy lives. He stated that to sin brought the person happiness.
I had to trap the demon without the
protection spells; it tried to leave... the priest died.... Well, I am assuming
it is the New Year, everybody is saying ‘Happy New Year.’ All I want to say is ‘not until I kill that
damned demon that destroyed my life.’
Then I will be able to say ‘Happy New Year’ once more.

Werewolves are real- ran into a Hunter who
told me that the north is full of them; he says they like the cold- must
research how to destroy-
Valentine’s Day 1491
Found out the official date. I will try to be better with time and dates,
who knows it may become important... Ran into another Hunter about a week
ago. He was hunting the original
Valentine... He told me the story, the true story, Valentine was an evil
Warlock, who pretended to marry people (though quite illegal at the time) so
that people would live in sin.
Valentine, he said, was an underling to Lust. It was his offering
to the sin, in exchange for his power. He was killed, stoned to death,
and now his ghost, his spirit, is in hell, but he gets one day of rest. He gets to come back on the 14th of February;
to try to break his curse. But he ends up killing a couple, he must find
a pure couple, and there is some ritual involved. Nobody knows what he is
supposed to do, but every year a couple disappears and is killed,
horribly. The Hunter told me to break the spell that brings him back he
had to find the original athame that Valentine used to call the demon to make
his deal for power. Once he found it he would destroy it. I offered
my help. It looked helpless, but we found the trail of the athame.
It was not what I expected. It was small
and plain... there was a blood stain on it... The Hunter (who had introduced
himself as Franklin) took me to a cemetery, to hallowed ground. We dug a hole. In the hole we threw the
athame, some blessing herbs (Rosemary, Sage, Dragon's Blood, Mint, Rue) and
some oils ( Clove, Jasmine), and some stones and gems (Salt, Calcite, Coral);
we set it all on fire and watched it burn. We then waited in the spot
Valentine always seemed to take his victims. We waited the night...
Nothing... We had done it.... I must find some stones, and oils as well
as herbs... I have to find out more about them... Franklin gave me a small book
on oils, which is a start....
St. Patrick’s Day 1491
Met another Hunter, at a St. Patrick's Day
Celebration; he was totally drunk. I walked into a bar as I was hungry
and had been able to swipe some money to get a hot meal. He was Irish; he
was the one who told me today March 17th is called St. Patrick's
Day. He drinks whiskey to celebrate. He told me St. Patrick was a
Hunter, a great one. He said that it
started out with Hunters (who live in bars anyways) started celebrating but
soon others had heard how he drove the 'snakes' (meaning demons) out of
Ireland. It is a huge thing. A lot of the Hunters will have some
whiskey, go on a hunt, and then drink until dawn. I listened to the
Hunters as I ate corned beef and cabbage, with a large chunk of bread.
The bar owner knew I was a Hunter right away. We all carry the same
look. It is an angry tired look, which never fades from our eyes. A
Hunter wife and husband team came and sat with me. They introduced themselves as Mary and
Phillip; they have been hunting since they were sixteen as well. They
told me that was a common age to take up hunting, even if you come from a
family of Hunters. They told me to be careful where I stop. Hunter's
look out for each other they told me. Even if they work alone, which most
do… There is a Hunter's bar founded within 100 miles of each other. Good
information to know. They gave me an extra bible and a rosary, shocked
that I did not have them. I thanked them by giving them some Rowen
arrows, for their bows. Found a lot of wood on my travels, and thanks to
my father, I have more than a few skills. I am good with wood mostly because it
is easier to work with. My father was a
blacksmith, but he loved carpentry. For all that man's faults, he taught
me right. I learned at that moment when I gave them my gift for theirs,
trading was a Hunter's means to live. Tonight I was able to get my hands
on herbs, stones, oils, books, and some more weapons, iron knifes, silver
knifes, and some guns. I found out delicate wood work, like the arrows,
was rare, and they really wanted them after I showed off some of my archery
skills. I might stay here a few days, I still have a lot more bows, and I
know where to find Rowen trees.

Ran into a werewolf, thankfully I was close
to a Hunter's bar, so ran there. No injury, thankfully. We went and
hunted it down. Silver to the heart, decapitation and then we burned the
body. *Special note, Cure for bite, before first transformation kill the
werewolf that bit you and cook the heart with clove, olive, nutmeg, and
rosemary oils, and garlic, leeks, lilacs (if you can find them) mint, onions,
blackberries, thistles, and lemons. You do this over a fire made of cedar and
bamboo (if you can find bamboo, if not Rowen is okay) until thoroughly
cooked. Then you eat it. All of it.
April 21st, 1491
Today Edmund would have been 13. I dealt with my first haunting today.
At first I thought it was a standard ghost, you tell them they are dead and
they move on, no big deal. It really wasn't a ghost, but more of a
poltergeist. Thankfully, I had taken that book from the church a couple months
back, a nice ancient book talked all about the undead. So I burned some
sage, salted the home, found out it used to be a soul of a small child.
It broke my heart, but I would not let anybody see that, as I helped the family
that had just moved into the home. Most ghosts and poltergeists are caused
by not getting the dying rites, or last rites, not getting a proper burial or
they were murdered and the killer goes unpunished. In this case, the body
was just tossed in a hole without last rites and not on hallowed ground.
I found a local priest and he gave the body its last rites and we buried the
child (with salt, sage morning glories and violets) behind the church,
properly. It seems to have worked.
I hope it has...

Ran into Mary and Phillip. They told me that for each positive trait a
gem or stone has, they have a negative side as well. There are stones you cannot mix others with,
or they can be used for dark purposes. Some are both good and
bad... Must find more info, only have the one small book and a witch's
book of shadows for my gem information...

Am I the fool? A Hunter told me about
Tarot, first card I touched was the fool... What does that mean?
The 2nd card was Strength, the 3rd (which should have been the final) was the
Devil card, but then the World card fell at my feet... I am not sure what any
of this means, but the look on the Hunter's face worries me.... Find
tarot deck and info....

Symbols are everywhere... They can point to
allies, or they can point to the enemy... Found a book of symbols out in the

Trading at the bars have been a life line
for me, heard some stories today about the first vampire, some say it was a
woman, who wanted revenge for being sold into marriage, another states
Abhartack who was an ancient Celtic warlord, became the first vampire. It
is said he was small and deformed, and was a merciless tyrant; well the people
had the ruler in the next country over to kill him. Well he did, and
buried him standing up, but it said he came back from the dead and demanded
bowls of blood, so the other ruler (Cathan) killed him and buried him
again. This continued for a while until Cathan went to a religious person
and found he could not die, but could be held in place if stabbed with a sword
made with of yew (must research yew more, thought it was evil) and buried upside
down, and surrounded Blackthorn and Hawthorne thorn bushes. They also placed a
stake of Aspen into his chest, and a giant granite was placed of his burial
spot. To this day, it can be seen, and strange things happen on that land.... I
hope he never gets freed...

While trading at the local Hunter's Bar, I
heard something, someone says that there are Guardians. Beings that
protect the world forever. They never die, well they can be killed but they
come back to life. They were once mortals... some myth.... Beings of
good...

Got a lead on a creature killing villagers
headed to location rumor is it is a banshee...
June 19th, 1491
Was passing through a small town, as I am
trying to make my way to Ireland, there is a Hunter that is claiming he has
information on the demon I am hunting. Anyway, the town's priest recognized me
as a Hunter and asked for help with a creature- a boogyman- he told me it had
killed 5 children, it took them from their homes and then ate their brains and
bone marrow; I told him I would take care of it. The boogymen come from the
closets of their town (rumor is the boogyman is a child that was abused and
eventually killed by their parents and to prevent other children from suffering
their fate, it killed them and then ate the marrow and brains so it could live
forever. Anyways, they feast on the children for six months then it goes into
hibernation for twenty five years. To kill them, you have to perform a spell to
trap it between worlds in their closet and then you cut off the head and limbs
and drag the body parts to a church ground. Then you douse it in holy water and
holy oil, and then you burn it. I was successful... priest tried to pay
me, I declined but accepted holy water, holy oils, and some scared bread all
great for destroying demons.
July 1st, 1491
Found the damned Banshee... That thing is
hell on Earth; it was tough to kill... A Banshee is an evil fairy, or an evil
spirit of a woman. They are created when a young woman dies in childbirth, so
the young woman, pissed that she didn't get to have her life with her baby,
becomes a dark entity. She attaches herself to families; her goal to kill
the young children, striking terror in their hearts, and of course drinking
their blood, taking their life force. To hear her cry will kill you, as
it will explode your brain. As it is, I am out of this battle with a bad nose
bleed and huge migraine. Don't know how I am alive... It is a
spirit that looks like a woman, but her skin is so attached to the skull you
can see the skull under the skin, in some places it looks like the skin has
been torn away and all is left is bone. To kill it is more grave
digging... you find the body of the young woman who died, mix the required oils,
herbs, and stones, and burn it... then you take the ashes and seal them in an
airtight container never to be opened again. I buried it about six feet
deep on hallowed ground. Hopefully, no fool ever opens it...
July 17th, 1491
I was traveling to the next local Hunter's
bar when something attacked me... It was a Bajang. Which means another
human controlling a damned being. I cut the thing's head off, and set it
on fire. But another ten came out of nowhere. I climbed up into the
trees. I was able to hide from them. I followed them back to a
local castle. I researched them. Thankfully, there was a local witch that
had some information, made sure she was a being of good; thankfully holy water
works on dark witches as well. Bajangs are created from a witch or
warlock using the soul and body of a stillborn child. That information
makes my blood boil. I saw red. These Bajangs kill for their
masters. They are fed a mix of human blood, eggs and milk. They
attack women, draining them of their blood, and then they go and eat their mix and
then fall into a specially built chest where they sleep until nightfall to
attack again. To destroy them, you have to catch the bloody warlock and
make them destroy it. To put that warlock under your control, you use a
mix of herbs and oils boil them down and then dip an iron blade into the
mix. With that you slice the warlock and then you control him, and cause
him to destroy the amulet that he created to control the Bajang. The
Bajang are then destroyed and you deal with the warlock. I had the witch
strip him of his magic. I didn't kill him... maybe I should have.
The mix of herbs you need for Bajangs:
1 Whole Clover
3 Mint Leaves
1 Peach Pit
Handful of Mustard Seeds
3 Pine Cones
1 Lily Flower
1 Lotus Flower
3 Drops of Rosemary Oil
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Lavender Oil
Boil for 12 hours
Dip your pure Iron blade into mix.

More and more activity... I was passing
through another town; I tend to stay on the move, only stopping when I am near
a Hunter's Bar. There are rumors of men being killed in a village
nearby... I went to investigate, and after talking to the locals, I discovered
it was a Churel. They are created when a young woman dies, either by
murder, suicide, accident or while she is pregnant. They come back and kill
men only, draining them of all their bodily fluids. They look human but
they have razor sharp teeth, blood red eyes, and their feet are
backwards. To kill them is the standard cut off the head, burn them
routine. After you do that, you have to salt the grave and bury their ashes,
with a mix of herbs.
I used fern, mint, garlic, onion, pepper, witch grass and myrrh.

Ran in to a Rakshasa, and after a few days
of research I went and destroyed it.
Rakshasas generally attack women and children, but love to control men
and drive them mad. They are from kings or leaders, or someone with power
at one time. They are grotesque, have orange fiery eyes, and a large
tongue that hangs from its mouth (normally bleeding as their razor sharp teeth
bite down on it). They are full of coarse body hair, and have potbellies,
horns and either have 1 arm and 3 legs or 3 arms and 1 leg. They love
wearing wreaths made of the entrails of the victims. They can become
invisible, but love turning into animals, most common is a black dog, but will
turn into owls or vultures. They will kill their victim, drink their
blood, let the body rot for a few days, then from the skull eat the rotting
brain, and then the skin, and finally the decayed muscles. To get rid of them,
you must burn herbs, perform a chant, then dig up the body and burn it burying
the ashes, and placing a large stone on the burial spot.
Herbs needed to burn:
Snapdragon
Peony
Sunflower
Milk Thistle
Basil
Garlic
Dragon's Blood (super rare had to trade 4 knives and 2 dozen arrows for 5 sticks)

Was going through France, heard of
a haunting. The ghost was Gilles De Rais. He is said to have
murdered boys. In fact, he was tortured until he confessed, then executed. Many
say he was innocent. They say he was unjustly killed because he, umm...
preferred the company of males, and didn't believe in God. He was targeted and
killed. I don't care. He was hunting down and killing the families
of those that put him to death. If he didn't kill back in 40, he was
now. So I went and found his bones (did I mention I really hate that
part?) threw in Anise, Hyssop, Peppermint, Yucca, Holy Thistle, Devil's Bit and
Clove, along with a few stones (salt (of course) Calcite, Aquamarine (pained me
to do but didn't have much else with me, I haven't been to a Hunter's Bar for
about a week, and these routine hauntings kill my supplies), Coal, and
Jasper). Then set them on fire, and then of course made sure the ashes
were buried. Love these routine hauntings; have to get to a Hunter's
Bar... Should be able to get to Ireland by end of month.
August 7th, 1491
Finally found a Hunter's Bar, going to spend
a few days need to stock up on supplies.
August 10th, 1491
Ran into a bunch of Doppelsugers, damned
children. It saddens me, but Doppelsugers are created when a young child
is smothered by a parent. They are children that come back from the dead
to kill and eat their family. They start with the parent that killed
them, and then they work through the family, after that they will attach any
human. To see a body of one killed by a Doppelsuger is kind of
gross. They are torn apart, nothing left really on the inside, just bones
and skin and hair. To destroy them is horrible; they look so much like
innocent children, but they are not. You do an exorcism, stake the body
with a Hawthorne stake, and then place 2 silver coins upon the eyes, and then
throw in your mix of herbs and oils, and burn the body.
I used:
Salt (my favorite, or at least the cheapest)
Thistle
Vervain
Scullcap
Copal
Tobacco
Bloodroot

Went to a local bar. They were looking for
other Hunters to help them hunt an ogre. I agreed to go along.
Ogres are giants. They love to party, it seems. They take women to have
orgies. They kill the women, drink their
blood and eat their flesh. There were six ogres, and it took all nine of
us to bring them down, and cut their heads off. Then of course, we burned
their bodies. We went back to the bar, and the trading and drinking
began.... Orges are ugly... They have yellow eyes (three of them) they
have four fingers on each hand, two toes on each foot, and no hair on their
head but it appeared to be everywhere else. They have razor sharp teeth,
and bodies as thick as a few ancient trees. Even with our sharped axes
and swords it took forever to get the heads off the Orges' shoulders. I
hope it is a long long time before I deal with them again.
September 3rd, 1491
Hit land.
I am finally in Ireland. Now to get to that Hunter. But
first had to deal with a Hag. Ran right into her as she was stealing a
child. The ratty hair, shrinking skin, rotting sharp razor like teeth,
her hooked nose (which had the largest wart I had ever seen on it) and her eyes
were the worse. They were white, clouded with death. Of course I
attacked. She of course tried to kill me. I left the battle with a
few scratches, but the child is safe, and the hag lost her head. I burned
the body with a mix of herbs and oils, and am now on my way to the Hunter who
claims to know about my demon.

What the hell is an Eretica doing in
Ireland???? I heard they were only in Northern Asia. But I guess
they can be anywhere. After all, they were once women who sold their soul to
the devil for something, and are cursed upon death to come back and kill their
family and their town. They are only active between the spring equinox
and the fall equinox, so it is coming up the deadline to permanently destroy
it. They use eye contact to stop their victim from fleeing. Then
they drain their life force. They take their soul into them, and take it
back to hell upon returning on the night of the fall equinox. Sadly, the
only way to destroy them is to send them back to hell. You stake them
with an Aspen stake, and then you burn them with herbs, oils and stones as you
perform an exorcism.

Finally found the Hunter... I think he has
been driven insane... He kept rambling about a demon who gave birth to what the
world thinks is a human, who shall be either the savior or the destroyer of the
world... The being is part demon, the
demon side hidden within. He did tell me I would probably have to go to
the end of the world to find the demon I seek. I informed him that was my
plan, until my dying breath the search won't end... He said it wouldn't
end with my dying breath; it would be only the beginning.... As I thought -
insane...

I am moved north, and last night as I
crossed a cemetery (rumors of vampires), I heard screams; a woman was being
dragged into the ground next to a stone. I ran to help; I was able to
save her, as the creature let go when I stabbed his arm with a silver knife. I
walked with her out of the cemetery. She
was mumbling that she could not believe her Henry would be a Haugbui. I
went to the local Hunter's Bar and discovered that a Haugbui is a dead body possessed
by a demon, that will drag all who comes near the grave of the body to their
death, eating the body and drinking the blood. So I went and dug up the
bones of the person this morning, burned them, and then reburied them and
placed huge stones over the grave... quick and crude, but hopefully it works.

Incubus/ Succubus
Horrible creatures. The Incubus is
male and forces itself upon women, subjecting them to night terrors, and of
course they try to impregnate them. They love preying on nuns, or other
religious women. Ran into to one at a nunnery. Poor nuns frightened
out of their minds. Three had already been impregnated with demon
spawn. They hope the children will give into their human side as adults,
instead of the demon within them (I have a feeling I should come back here in
about twenty years, or let the owner of the local Hunter's Bar know. I won't
kill a nun and an unborn; I still have a bit of a conscious). Anyways an Incubus
shows up in a human form that females find attractive, so I slept at the
nunnery and hoped to kill it. And it showed up! It took a bit of will
power to remember it was a demon, the icy blue eyes and the dark hair, it would
have been so easy to give in... but instead, I staked it, and cut off its
head. Then of course burned it and buried the ashes.

Ireland has a lot more stories, a lot more
demons. I wonder why? But today I had to deal with a leanhaum-shee. It is
a fairy of sorts, which seduces anybody who catches its eye, and then drinks
their victim's blood and eats the internal organs. You have to trap it on
hallowed ground, and bury it alive, staking it to the ground with silver stakes
and Blackthorn thorns. Tricking it into the church's graveyard was the
tough thing. Finally, I found some bait... stupid drunk little man... he didn't
die... anyways got the leanhaum-shee into the graveyard, fought it, got it into
a grave, staked it, bound it with thorns and then buried it.

Okay, seriously what is it with demons and
witches? Jigarkhwar, a daughter or son of a witch that sold its soul to
the devil and a demon; they have the power to paralyze their victims with just
a stare. Once they are paralyzed, they use dark magic to remove the liver
and then it is shrunk to the size of a seed and it hides it in its calf until
it needs to eat it. Once it is eaten, the person cannot be saved.
They are doomed to die. If you find the Jigarkhawar, you can cut open the
calf and get the liver, and have the victim swallow it whole. Then to
kill the thing, you have to bind her head with silver chains and Blackthorn
thorns, and then you cut out the eyes and fill the sockets with salt, and then
you hang her, and you leave her there for 40 days, then burn the body. I
am not waiting 40 days, found a priest that will watch the body and burn it for
me. Note to self: Must pick up a lot more salt...
October 22nd, 1491
Ran into a group of Kosci. They were
eating a family... Male Kosci are called Koscima and the female is
Koscama. They are victims of drowning (mostly pirate ships that went
down) they hunt families and dine on their internal organs as they drink the
blood. It took a while and a chuck of my Blackthorn arrows (a lot harder
to make by the way but Blackthorn is the only thing that works on Kosci), but
I finally killed them all and burned the bodies.
MUST TRADE FOR MORE BLACKTHORN!!
MUST TRADE FOR MORE BLACKTHORN!!
October 27th, 1491
Ran into a black dog... Its eyes glowed
red... It smiled at me and winked... I was shocked, paralyzed with
fear... the devil himself is said to take the form of a black dog to make deals
with the living... before I could even think of a way to destroy it, it was
gone... so I found out this about them: YOU CANNOT DESTROY THEM! You can
do an exorcism, but you cannot kill them, and they always come back. They
are called upon when a person wants to make a deal with the devil himself,
instead of an introverted demon. Why would it cause me to freeze? Why did
it smile at me? Why wink?
All Hallows Eve 1491
What a way to spend my 19th birthday! Ran
into a damn pack of werewolves. Almost didn't make it... I stop and think about it now, the wolf that
was on my tail stopped. And it sniffed
the air, and turned around as I was nearing the Hunter’s Bar. It must have known that I would make it to
the bar before it could kill me. I
couldn't take turning into a werewolf, but after hours of fighting, I was
exhausted and the five werewolves were dead. I am bloody from head to
toe, and all I want is a bath...
November 3rd, 1491
Heard a rumor... a Hunter related to a
werewolf without knowledge of it.... I laughed at that fact... then I felt bad
for the Hunter to know one day soon that their loved one would die from their
hand or another Hunter's hand.
November 11th, 1491
Was traveling through a village and was told
about a demonic monster they named Brunhilda. Legend holds that this
demon was once a mighty warrior that saved the village but a god came and
demanded a sacrifice or it would destroy all the land. Since this great
warrior was unmarried and scared even the town’s people with her power, the
villagers tricked her in to a compromising position and killed her to appease a
god (which was a demon in disguise). She came back as a demonic force to
get her revenge. In the month of her death's anniversary, she comes to the town
and kidnaps young children and babies and eats them (Demons really like to kill
children it must be something to do with their innocence). The town was
naive in their actions a long time ago but I hunted the demon. She was
huge, a bloody giant. Her hands could easily close over my body and crush
me. I was able to create a small (well large) trap. She entered the
pentagram made of salt and other stones and herbs I had ground. It trapped her
there long enough for me to do the exorcism. It was successful.
Thank God she was slower, due to her size, than me. I shudder to think
how she would have killed me.

One can tell it is winter, even the demons
are feeling the cold. Thankfully, there is a Hunter’s Bar every hundred or so
miles. Don’t know what I would do
without them. Mary says I should marry
one of the other hunters. She said it is
good to have companionship, to have love.
I laughed… truthfully I don’t know if I want to risk that… ever… I will die hunting evil… do I want a husband
to bury me? Do I want to love someone
just to bury him? I never thought of it
before; I always thought I would go to war, come home marry one of the boys in
the village, after my father bargained for my dowry, have a few babies and die…
but then the demon destroyed that… destroyed my life. It killed my soul; it killed me but left my
body here to rot… Of course I told Mary I would think about it…
December 5th, 1491
As it gets colder, rumors of werewolves and
yetis become more and more… Phillip says we should move north; it would be more
active. I agreed. Mary didn’t like the idea, but she agreed
that we needed to make some more money and there were postings for Hunters up
north. So we set off. I should note I keep seeing yellow eyes
everywhere… and the other day Mary was pressuring me and I snapped at her; she
swears my eyes turned black… I wonder
what is happening…
December 11th, 1491
We ran into fairies! Real life fairies, and not the nice kind
either. These were dark, demonic. They tried to drag Mary into the river as she
washed. They said that she had not asked
permission and her life was forfeit. Of
course killing something as small as a butterfly is hard, but finally we were
able to kill some of them and move on.
But there is a strange mark on Mary’s hand… I think they cursed her…
Something is going to happen. I can feel
it. This mark it looks like the devil’s
pentagram. But in the center there is a
demonic fairy shape… it takes up the back of her whole hand. Mary says she is not worried, but I see the
looks between her and Phillip. They know
something is not right either…
December 16th, 1491
The mark faded into Mary’s skin. But I still see it. I know it is faded because Philip mentioned
that it was lighter. It seemed to be
glowing, but I did not tell them that.
We ran into a priest. He looked
at my cross and smirked. He told me
before I celebrated my twenty-first birthday I would be a being of hell. He told me I would give up my mortality, for
revenge. I tried to say I would never,
but I could not. I just looked him in
the eyes and I knew I would give almost anything to kill the demon. I had even offered up my soul. Is there anything I would not do for revenge? It scares me that I don’t know the answer.
December 19th, 1491
It is so cold out. But I have split from Philip and Mary for a
few days. I just need to think things through.
I went on a couple of hunts and killed several vampires. They laughed at
me and said their leader was chosen.
They just had to wait for the demon to keep its promise. I staked them,
cut off their heads, and burned them. At
least the fire kept me warm while the bodies burned. I have noticed I no longer have a need to
write down items I need. My mental notes
are better than I thought. I ran into a
hunter last night and traded some arrows for some herbs. He seemed to have a lot of Dragon’s
Blood. I will continue to write a list
after a large hunt, but I am going to find Mary and Philip again.
December 24th, 1491
Okay that is it! Christmas is now my least
favorite holiday! In the last two days,
I have dealt with a set of twins, one supposedly good and the other more evil
than I thought possible. They are
grandsons of Lucifer. Well great, great,
God only knows how many great grandchildren of Lucifer. Saint Nicolas himself, and his twin brother
Nikoli. St. Nick, he wasn’t so bad. He liked giving gifts to kids and leaving
candy and other little goodies. His
brother Nikoli was a true demon. He
liked to suck on peppermint sticks, sucked them to a sharp point, then he would
stab it into his victim’s eye and… well… eat the eyeball. With Phillip, Mary and Jolly Old St. Nick
himself, we were able to hunt down and destroy Nikoli. It was not an easy job, that demon could
really kick; I think I broke a couple of ribs.
At best they are bruised. Phillip
says I will live. It hurt to laugh but I
had to laugh at that. Nikoli got me
right in the ribcage as I bound him for the exorcism. Finally we were able to send him to
hell. Using a lot of our goods.

It is the end of another year and rumors of
my demon are becoming more and more. I
don’t know what to believe. There are
rumors of a werewolf that went to hell and stole Lucifer’s Trident, a long time
ago. That he is out there hunting down
the beings that killed his family. I
also hear of a Hunter who is part demon.
I hear of a vampire with a soul.
I hear so many things. Are there
good beings mixed within the bad we have been killing?
January 4th, 1492
It is a new year, and we are hunting all the
time. We had to fight some Kozlaks this
time around. They start out as
poltergeist and then start to suck the life out of their victims. It normally only takes a few days to wipe out
a whole village. To destroy it is just
like any ghost, find out who the ghost was, dig it up and burn the remains to
ash. Of course nobody would give us
information. So we dug up the cemetery
and burned them all. I am much too young
to feel so old. I am tired all the time. I must be coming down with something. Only when it is night and the moon is bright
do I feel like myself anymore. Strange
but it is calming. I need it…
January 7th, 1492
My thoughts are becoming darker. I am becoming darker. I am almost cold inside when I kill now. I have no qualms about killing an evil mortal. A human, a waste of breath, had a knife to
Mary’s throat, Philip was fighting three others. I took aim and shot him with my arrow
straight and true into his eye. He was
worshipping a demon. Better that he’s
gone from the world. Mary told me my
eyes went black and I smiled as I pulled the trigger. Maybe I did.
I had no qualms at all. There was
no hesitation in my actions. What is
changing me?
January 23rd, 1492
What do I stand for? I don’t know.
I see the ghosts of so many I have killed. The demons, the humans… I kill more than
those I write about. I see them. They haunt me.
What do I stand for? Sometimes
even I don’t know. But I wake up every
day and fight. I wake up every day and
pray for a chance at redemption. A
redemption I know my soul will never see.
I know that now. But I still get
up. I still fight. I still pray.
I still believe. My brothers… I
will never see again… What do I stand for?
Someone… something… please tell me!
I don’t know who I am. I see the
ghosts of those I have destroyed. Who am
I? What am I? Darkness is spreading through me…
January 31st, 1492
Mary is pregnant. She just told me today. She is about three months along. Pregnant.
A Hunter having a baby. In this
world? I smiled and congratulated
her. She is due in May. I don’t know if I will be around then. I don’t know what will happen. But I am happy that she is happy. Maybe this will get her to stop hunting. Maybe she will bury me. Maybe I won’t have to feel the pain of losing
her. Pregnant. A pregnant Mary telling me I should marry and
have a baby. I laughed. My soul is too dark for that.
February 7th, 1492
Sometimes I wonder why I even wake up some
mornings. We lost five Hunters last
night. We were attacked by zombies. Honest to God zombies. At first I thought it was a joke, when they
told me that they acted intelligent. I
mean I have battled what I had been told were zombies before, but these are
different. I had seen reanimated copses,
and called them zombies, but these were different than any zombie I had dealt
with before. Something had to be controlling
them. They were made from a whole
town. We heard rumors of them just
sitting there and dying. So full of
sloth that they just died. I do not
know. But they came back from the dead
with a hunger they could not fill in life because of their laziness to get up
and get food. They attacked us. We were surrounded. But we fought and in the end we lost five,
and the bodies of the zombies were destroyed.
We burned the whole town.
February 16th. 1492
I was walking alone, wondering where the
Hunters I have met on my journeys are, and I saw it. The bloody demon. I gave chase.
It led me right to a field of murdered children. I fell to my knees and cried. They all had the blood hair blue eyes of my
brothers. I fell to my knees and cried
in pain. I screamed for it to come kill
me. This is war! What are you waiting for you bloody
demon? What are you waiting for when I
am not waiting? When I am breaking the
rules? Killing demons, and mortals alike
in my hunt for you. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING
FOR? Oh Lord help me! I don’t know what I stand for anymore. I don’t know why I truly do this
anymore. Is it just revenge? Is it more?
Do I do it for the right reasons?
Do I even care? What do I stand
for? Oh Lord I need redemption. I need you to save me… or do I? Is it you that is meant to save me? Or is another? The holy men I run into… they cry for
me. They worry for me… they know
something… they see something… Someone save me… please…
February 21st, 1492
An Incubus tricked a local woman into having
a baby. I look into those eyes and you
would not believe the things that can come from the most horrible of
beings. The child is pure mortal…
probably to the pain of the Incubus… The baby is so gorgeous. He reminds me of my brothers. Mary is cooing at the thing. I am glad it turned out human. I could not kill it. I look into those eyes, and find my weakness. Kids… I may be cold and heartless… but not
that cold and heartless.
March 3rd, 1492
Ran into some hobgoblins… who knew they were
real? Well I guess Hunters older than I
did. They are ugly little
creatures. They tried to push a few of
us off the cliffs. Thankfully they are
slow. It didn’t take long to evade them
and kill a few. I am becoming too good
with weapons. Mary fears that… not I. I am proud of my power. She thinks a man will tame me. I feel no desire. The only love I know is that of family. I do not think I can love. I do not think I could ever be a wife. Or a mother.
That is alright with me. I cannot
risk my soul becoming blacker with heartache.
March 29th, 1492
Some nights I wish the battle would
end. Like tonight. We all fought… but the vampires were too
much… the different types joining against us… these were not normal vamps; they
were older. They were more powerful. They had other beings in their power…
Sometimes I wish this would all end.
That I am taken to the Gates of St. Peter and judged… Hell may be my
destination, but could it be worse than this life? The rumors are yes, that
there are mortals that have been to hell and back… but I don’t know… Lord, I ask you every night for redemption…
every night I pray for your love… what is my place in the world? Who am I really… and why do the priests look
at me with pity in their eyes and distaste in their voice? What do they know that I do not? I will find answers!
April 1st, 1492
If I have to deal with one more small
creature today, I am going to scream! We
have been dealing with Imps, Leprechauns, Pixies, Alats, Brownies… lots and
lots of small creatures! They have been
playing tricks on us all day. We don’t
kill them because they are not evil… well not all are evil, some Leprechauns
are… An Alat pack made off with my bow and arrows!!! It took me about three
hours to hunt down the Alat pack and get my stuff back, but thankfully I found
them. I will be happy when this day is
over.
April 7th, 1492
Helping at a local Hunter’s Bar, the owners wife became a widow
last night… I was involved with the
hunt; it was for, what Philip says it was, an Aswang. It is an evil creature. It used to be a human female. It can switch its shape at will. We could hear its wings from miles away. We
knew it was coming, but as soon as it hit the village we could no longer hear
it… It was eerie silent… It soon
attacked. It killed the widow’s husband
and four others before we could bring it down.
Four others and I held it down and cut off its wings, beheaded it and
burned the body, burying the ashes.
Then, about three miles down the road, we burned the wings and buried
them. I am not sure why, but I used up a
good supply of stock, so I am going to stay around for a bit and trade for
more… traded for a diamond today… only cost me five silver knives and fifty
Rowan bows… it was a good trade… wonder where he got the diamond?
April 15th, 1492
Some nights I regret this life. I am young, but I look older than I am. I have stayed around the area since the
Aswang attack and more and more strange creatures are showing up. The latest was a Sampiro. It appears to be a woman that wears very large
heels. The only thing that gives it away
is its eyes. They grow larger and blood
red when they smell a blood that hungers them.
I barely saved the guy before it attacked. It was harder to kill; I figured the power
was in the eyes. I plucked them out with
a silver knife and burned them as the Sampiro screamed in pain. When I set the eyes ablaze, it lit on fire
and soon there was nothing but ashes.
The man paid me some money. At
least I will have some money for hot meals now.
April 23rd, 1492
Ran into a Yara-ma. A rare thing.
It is a little red man. It was probably about three feet no more than
four, and the head was huge compared to the body. There were no teeth in its large mouth but on
its feet there were stingers and on the hands suckers. They tend to live in trees and don’t have to
hunt, they just wait for someone to rest under the tree. Like I did.
The way they come to be is strange, but thankfully a quick swipe of my
sword chopped its head off. They will
almost drain the victim, but leave them alive.
They will them come back after a nap to eat the victim whole. It will take another nap and vomit up the
person; they come out shorter and redder.
The Yara-ma will repeat the process four more times and then the victim
becomes a Yara-ma themselves. Strange
creatures.
April 30th, 1492
Dealt with a Zmeu today. They take the form of a flame and enter the
rooms of young girls, seeking pure virgin blood. Once there, they will transform into a shape
the young girl or woman desires and seduce them. Once gaining their trust and
successfully seducing them, they will drain the woman, leaving her dead body in
a burning heap. You cannot burn their
body. You must submerge them in water…
harder to do than it sounds. But a few
Hunters and I were successful.
June 3rd, 1492
Time is moving slowly… I am fighting my
grief… I have heard rumors that my demon is hunting the Hunters… I will kill it… I called the Introverted
demon, I offered my soul to kill the demon… it turned me down… told me that
there were larger things in store for me… told me stop calling it… it cannot
make a deal with me… I wonder why? I wonder what is in store for me besides
death…
June 13th, 1492
Heard the demon is on the run. I tried to
meet up with it, but it ran into a pack of werewolves… well the rumor was it
ran into a werewolf, singular, but what demon would be afraid of a werewolf?
June 25th, 1492
I know I am writing less and less, but not
much to write. It is very quiet… Mary and Phillip were right, something huge is
going to happen, something has the beings of hell running from this place… Have
done some routine vampire stakings, haven’t heard about Mary at all though…
Maybe the vampire blood did not take?
Sometimes it doesn’t, if the vampire did it wrong… well too late. A true vampire must drain its victim until
the point before the heart stops, and then it must feed it its own blood. If things go right, a new vamp will rise in
about three nights… Mary… I will have to stake her if she turned… maybe her
body was too stubborn to be corrupted… maybe it didn’t take… hold on to hope…
do not let evil win…
July 3rd, 1492
Things have started to get back to normal
hunting. Whatever fear the demon had put into the creatures is now gone. And they are all out in force… I am almost
out of supplies; I have to stock up, on everything…
July 15th, 1492
I have heard the demon has left and is
headed for another world… Don’t know what that means but I will find it. I will
hunt it down if it is the last thing I do…
July 19th, 1492
There are less and less vampires around. It
used to be common place to stake one or two every couple of days, but lately
there hasn’t been one for me to take my anger out on… heard about Mary, another
Hunter saw her… she killed four in their group before running off… What can I do, but hunt her? Sometimes I wonder what death is waiting
for? Sometimes I wonder if these musing
and ramblings of my mind will really help another Hunter after I am long
gone? Will it? I hope so!
The world is full of evil and we need good men and women to pick up the
fight. We will give our lives and souls
to fight the demons of hell… But will it matter? Where do the fighters end up? Where do we Hunters end up? What do we really stand for? Sometimes I wish it would all end…
July 21st, 1492
Heard a rumor on the vampire shortage, a
werewolf is hunting them down. There is a rumor that the vamps killed its
daughter, something about her being a great leader that would eradicate all the
vamps from the Earth. I am all for that…
but werewolves? Are they any better?
July 28th, 1492
Hear of ships leaving for the edge of the
world. Finally, I might be able to find
it; after all I will go to my death to find it…
August 1st, 1492
Got my supplies, took a lot of trading, but
I have everything I need for the trip.
Herbs, oils, gems, stones, weapons, books, everything I need to hunt
this demon who claims I am born from its womb, and send it back to the depths
of hell from which it came. It took my
diamond but I figured out how to get on the boat and how to travel with
everything I need, everything that I have…
August 3rd, 1492
On a ship as a stowaway. The ship is called
the Santa Maria…
August 8th, 1492
Caught on the ship, but found a demon
possessing the body of the captain (Columbus I think his name is). The demon could sense me, which is why I was
found. I bound the demon, and preformed
the exorcism. Afterward, convinced the captain
I was a nun trying to spread the world of Jesus to the world. Of course since I got rid of the demon, he turned
a blind eye that I was a stowaway. I
pray there will be no more possessions on this boat. Not enough room to fight; I had to fight the
demon to bind him. I was knocked
overboard during the exorcism, thankfully I can swim, and thankfully the crew
pulled me up.
August 19th, 1492
Boredom is setting in. What I wouldn’t give
for a demon, vampire, creature! Heard
there was something in the ocean, but haven’t seen anything.
September 5th, 1492
Today Donatello would have been 9. Saw some large thing in the water. I was very tempted to jump in and fight it,
but I can’t kill my demon if I am dead.
It is boring on this boat… I have vanquished all the ghosts of those
that have died…
September 13th, 1492
Rumors are going around that Columbus sold
his soul to the devil to convince the Queen of this voyage. I shrugged it off; even if he did, there is
nothing to do now. I wonder how many
years he has?
September 15th, 1492
15 years.
I was bored and I went up and asked him.
The demon gave him 15 years! Then
he of course will die and go to hell.
There is really no way to get out of a deal with a demon. Poor guy will be going to hell in 1504; he
made the deal a year ago.
October 12th, 1492
Today Hugo would have been 16. And finally there is land! There had been nothing to do on this boat but
twiddle my thumbs, and of course research.
October 18th, 1492
So many new things to kill! I saw some creature that was part animal part
human! I do not know what it was but
setting the damned thing on fire killed it.
I am off to find out more about the creatures…
October 27th, 1492
Zombies are big
here, so many beings called voodoo people… not sure what it means, but I killed
them… I am going to have to leave… I am being chased by the community. I guess they like zombies eating the hearts
and brains of people. I do not want to
be here anymore. There is a new vast
land a couple of boat days away.
October 31st, 1492
Twenty today. Dealing with a lot of hauntings… becoming so
routine…
November 3rd, 1492
Got on a small boat to go to a new vast
land. Almost killed by something - don’t
know what it was, but it was not human… it is dead now… I am running out of
supplies, no Hunter Bars here, maybe when I get to the new vast land I will be
able to start one…
November 8th, 1492
Finally landed, three of the nine of us were
lost to the waters.
November
15th, 1492
Natives
told me that something was taking and killing people, at least that is what I
understood from the conversation, really can’t understand them. I load up on herbs and get help from the
natives making new weapons, Rowen is not easily found here, but there are other
herbs and trees, that I have no knowledge of, but thankfully they can point at
the ones that may be of help. There will
be a hunt tomorrow.
Part One:
The Beginning
November
16th, 1493
I died.
I actually died. The Death Fairy
gave me a choice to become a Guardian; I thought they were a myth. But I took the chance. My need for revenge so great, I have a
feeling I may regret this choice. When I
woke up, I had an understanding of the Native’s language. I could hear for
miles, and though it was pitch black, I could see. The Guardian had told me there were benefits
to my death and rebirth. The Natives
told me that the death fairy made me the Guardian of the land, and they were to
protect my body for me, as a repayment for killing the Wendigo- at least I know
what the thing that killed me is now called, and I vaguely remember setting it
on fire by sticking a flaming arrow into its chest. I am now forever 20, immortal… I went to hell for a year, time moves
different there though. One day on Earth
is about 183 days in hell or about 15 years for one Earth month… so I in hell
for 180 years… I was tortured I remember that, but I did not cry out in
pain…But the pain I carry in my soul, the need for revenge hurts more than
anything they could ever do to me in hell… Found out there are rules for this
curse, this blessing…
The rules for being a Guardian (so to say)
You are immortal, your soul can be bargained
for time in hell, but you can never truly die (there is one way will get to
that)
You have a soul mate.
Your soul mate’s soul belongs to you; your
soul belongs to your soul mate.
Before your joining you may bargain with
your soul or your soul mate’s soul.
After your joining, you must get your soul
mate’ permission to bargain with your soul.
Before the Joining your soul mate cannot
bargain with their soul, with their life yes, but not their soul.
You may use the bargaining chip of
reincarnation. You can be reincarnated,
and the demons have until a certain age to kill you. It is when you made your first kill of the
supernatural world, or when you first became a hunter, so for me it would be
until I would be 16. Then I would be
immortal again. If killed, you will be
judged, and sent to your final place in eternity, most go to hell.
You will gain powers, lots of them, and
certain ones take longer to show than others.
It will be your gift in this curse.
Right now it is just a gift; I will be able
to hunt that bloody demon that killed my family. It destroyed my life, my soul, my heart. I will destroy it.
