That One Night...

The Eternal Divide had changed many lives for Endymion's citizens.

The scourge of demons were plentiful, many found themselves on the receiving end of it. No one would have thought that the supernatural existed after years of understanding that Humanity was at the dominant species of the World. Yet, in their ignorance, they were never aware that there were monsters that lurked underneath their noses. It was on that eventful night that they would come to understand their arrogance and their complacence.

Maria was a girl who had normal worries. She had a large family. With a relatively basic background, she was a daughter of a bakery-restaurant owner. It was that one evening that the girl had expectations to see her family waiting for her at the dinner table. Yet, the moment when she turned that knob, she instead saw a banquet. A feast of flesh and stinking blood greeted her. Guests had come over to her humble abode, as destroyed as it was with their arrival. The sight seared into her very irises, the stench continued to pervade her nostrils, and the emotions that rose in her heart were unforgettable.


It wasn't so much that it was fear. It was horror and it was despair. The leaking remains of her youngest sister spilled out of its jaws. Her little brother's skull was toyed with by another as if it were a ball with a purpose to amuse a child. Her parents remained a splattered mess across the room, their lifeless eyes continued to stare at the ceiling. She wanted to cry and she wanted to scream at the scene. Yet those rights were taken when the demons finally took a hold of her and gave her the same treatment.


Over and over, she felt them seamlessly chew through her very sinews and the organs housed inside her body. The pain was indescribable. Maria could feel their relish as they slurped her blood and swallowed bits of her physical vessel. There was a jeering arrogance in these monstrosities, but the pain and the fear kept her from rage from growing. She knew that she was going to die and there was nothing she can do about it. Only monsters were capable of such ludicrous atrocity. As they feasted on her and as she continued to choke and scream from the unimaginable pain, the girl was slowly losing her mind...


She begged and prayed for this nightmare to end, but this was reality and there was no escape or salvation. Perhaps it was a boon for her to allow her very mind to break. It would be so easy... Yet, a black figure arrived with gleaming sword in hand. A savior? Why? Why couldn't she have come earlier? Before Maria knew what happened next, the dark had claimed her and perhaps her eternal rest finally came.
