The world we live in is filled with unseen paranormals - creatures from another realm walk amongst the humans, demons.
England, 1799 - a distant land in the West, Palm Closter, was the first to encounter the infestation of demons but it wasn't how this story began.
The region of England was known for its unity, prosperity and it's christianity - a country so powerful, so notable and even a wonder to the rest of the world.
The king and queen ruled this very land with impartial authority and had no record of strange events.But little did the monarchs know their world had a dark and horrifying past.
On a fateful day, the western church of Palm Closter received news from it's members, who brought news of evil spirits lurking in the dark - making the citizens to lose their faith in the church.
Gallimore, a man of prestige gathered men from various household to investigate the matter.
Getting to their borders, they discovered a hole in the ground - a dark door shaped hole so deep it could have been dugged from the depths of the earth was there.
"what are we going to do sir?..."A young man afraid for his life asked the brave Gallimore
"We go in, find these so called spirits and kill them for the sake of Palm Closter" Gallimore replied to the frightened young lad
And so they went into the hole - with pulling systems and lights to find these so called spirits, little did they know that the spirits they came to find were demons!.
Foul creatures from hell who somehow found a doorway to the human world -the demons slaughtered the men as they entered the hole
And after the taste of human blood, the Demons went out in the open - one by one, the dark creatures stampeding their way through the woods and towards the main streets of Palm Closter.
At that very hour, the priest of the church heard reports of strange creatures in the streets of Palm Closter, and wrote a letter - in it content contained the issue of these so called spirits in the land
"Do you think hell has finally found a way to our world ?".... The royal messenger asked the troubled priest
"May God forbid it" the priest answered and handed over the letter to the messenger "Get the message to the Capital"
Riding off the messenger went but the gravest event had not yet commenced and at the sound of the town's warning bell, the demons cometh - from the streets to the corners of every road, they destroyed everything on their path!
Women,men and children screaming and running for their lives as they saw others attacked and eaten alive
The soldiers on defense could only hold their ground with their shields and swords but all their efforts were in vain, the demons showed the people a grizzling fate.
The streets of Palm closter would soon be dyed red with the blood of it citizens, the ground became littered with corpses of both civilians and the soldiers that lost their lives defending their people
But locked inside the church, the priest hid at the altar with fear in his heart - he could hear the loud cries and screams and all the destruction outside, it was indeed the worst day of his life
Even the bangs on the entrance door of the church the priest could hear, but he was shivering and and couldn't even stand
At their death hour, people ran to the house of God but no answer and suddenly the doors busted open and walking forth was a demon - with a manevolent smile visible on its face
It followed the smell of fear and walked to the altar where it made eye contact with the hiding priest, and grabbed him.
"Demons are not real!"
"Demons are not real!"
The priest couldn't even say the words of prayer - he lost his faith and in that moment, the demon killed him Palm Closter was the first land to fall by the wrath of demons and so the foul creatures expanded to other parts of England, reaping a terrible harvest of life, causing death and chaos to the world.
And so a decree was passed to the Capital that by order :
{ Every town, every village, every city enforce the Crusaders army to fight back the demons and every household was to give a man to the church's crusaders army to protect the people of their lands}
Therefore, the Crusaders army training was formed and the drafting system of crusaders began - Kish was in his house when his draft letter came, the draft letter was a call of duty to join fight against cruel and vile demons.
At that time, Zenemiah was still studying hard in the training camp, hoping to receive his own Holy sword from the church.
The Holy sword was a sword hand crafted by the church and was said to be infused with prayers making it the most effective weapon to fight the demons with, it was simply an honor to wield such a weapon, as it represented the faith one had
Before Kish left for the war, he called his son "Zenemiah" to his room in the evening and sat him down for a father to son conversation which later ended up in tears.
"Father I wish to go with you!" Zenemiah cried out
"No son! I need you here to look after your mother and sister for me". Kish replied, knowing he may not return.
"Father, I am strong, let me go with you, I will protect you" Zenemiah insisted again "I've been studying had for the day to fight alongside you in this-.."
"You are the heir to the Saint Claire household, what I have is yours Zene,the draft letter came for me and me alone, so stay please" Kish knew Zenemiah was worried but he could not risk his son's life.
Shortly after Kish Claire of the Current head of the Saint Claire household left home to the war front to join the battle against the demons
A week after, a letter came the Saint Claire household announcing the death of Kish, Bartholomew the family butler, read the letter to the wife and children who broke into tears.
Zenemiah blamed himself for not being there to protect his father. He thought that if he had been more serious with his training he could've become strong enough to protect his father in the war
Eve blamed herself for not being a crusader all the while realizing how scary the fight of the demons were, she had fought with her husband the previous month wishing him death and a painful life
Eve would never expect that he would die so soon in the war between man and the demons. She regretted not making up and praying for her husband Kish and felt a wave of guilt.
while Victoria just cried all the way at the mention of her father's untimely death dealt a great shock to her
Amongst the chain of command in the Crusaders army, Northington of the Magruder household was appointed by the church to investigate the exact origin of demons at Haiderguard's borders under the supervision of Captain Leo.
Leo was a proud man who never had faith in the church, didn't follow through with his obligations and men died This made Leo to summon a court meeting with the high ranking bishops and priest to address the matter unknown to Northington, every action has a reaction.
His son,Rook - who was returning from the Capital had no idea that one of his cargo veiled a demon, sleeping peacefully under some ruble , but as it woke its urges took over and it erupted out, the demon destroyed the wagon cart
It injured the horses before moving onto the driver slowly eating him alive, the driver yelled and cried out for help as the demon gorged his organs and insides
Rook was unconscious under the broken down cart but as he came to be he immediately saw a gruesome scene one that no one should ever see
As Rook saw the scene he couldn't help but let out a cry "ahhh"
But that was a foolish choice as he did nothing but call the attention of the demon who was done with the Driver, with blood red eyes and a body reaching even feet in height, the demon slowly walked toward the helpless Rook while growling
"No!, stay away! , anybody, somebody help me !… please I don't want to die.." Rook cried out his face all messed up and covered in snot and tears like a baby that whipped
But this made the Demon howl with ecstasy, it never knew ur feel this way about it's prey, the wolf like creature with a horn walking on two legs moved along the sound of the cries of the young lad
Before slowing devouring the poor boy, it left his body scattered across the area like a child playing with its food the roads were stained with the blood of Rook who suffered at the claws of the Demon
Just around the border gates of Haulderguard, a skilled archer who goes by the name of Anastasia, a strong and experienced crusader fired two arrows directly at the forehead of the demon which made it fall to the ground - swiftly, the commandering crusader at the security tower called for arms to burn the foul creature to death.
" Crusader Anastasia….., what…is this ?"Another Crusader who accompanied Anastasia called for her after witnessing the sight
"Those monsters.., how could it do something so ...eurk.." A female Crusader wielding a holy spear said before puking
The Crusaders they witnessed the scene were at a lost of words upon witnessing the corpses littered around like leaves they fell from a tree..
