Prologue: The Host Of Hell

A cold draft blew past as the delivery boy looked up at the five-stories high cathedral. The front was demarcated with yellow police tape. Typical New York crime scene.He saw the soaring spires of the cathedral, the dull, dusty stained-glass windows with its painted-on cherubs, the front door with the large placard on it. What he didn't see was the mangled body hanging down from the bell tower, blackened blood slowly dripping down from the tower. Nobody ever saw it.He sighed. This was the part of his job he hated, delivering packages in unknown places, all for a meager 50 dollars a week paycheck. This was so not in his job description."Alright" He looked down at the papers in his hands "St Patrick's Cathedral, 1205, 8 Mile and Houston." He frowned. Wasn't this supposed to be a crime scene? The yellow gauze police tape said it all.Whatever. He wasn't one to wonder about other people's living arrangements. He himself was a squatter in an apartment trailer and didn't mind it one bit.

All Is Changed

The slightly windy spell of the previous week was over; the sun was shining brightly as Madeleine Shay hurried across the road to her favorite bookstore, too brightly for 9am in the morning, she thought. The hood of her sweater was up to keep her hair from blowing across her face. The weather might have warmed up, but the wind off the East River could still be brutal. It carried with it a faint chemical smell, mixed with the smell of rot, gasoline, and pastries from the bakery down the street. Olive was waiting for her in front of the bookstore along with a couple of other book freaks like her, her carrier bag slung across her shoulder “Hey” she said as Maddie reached her “I've been waiting ages for you. The new books aren't going to buy themselves.""Sorry, sorry" Maddie replied, slightly out of breath "My dad wouldn't let me go out without taking this" she raised an electric zapper up and rolled her eyes "For 'security reasons' he said. Big whup"Olive struggled against the throng

Aosoth's Lair

"This is the place. I can feel it, can't you?" Cassiopeia asked her brothers without taking her eyes off the cathedral."If you mean the venue for a potential mugging, then yes" Jason said, bored and examining his fingernails."Cassie can we go now?" The other brother Ethan asked in an exasperated voice "There's nothing here but ruins. Let's go home""Shut up, Ethan. You can go home if you want to. I'll stay here and stare at this place overnight if that's what it takes"The three of them continued to stare at the cathedral, their eyes willing it to open up and reveal its secrets. They were dressed in black wool turtlenecks with matching black leather pants and superhero-style weapons belts filled with everything from Celestial Bronze swords to throwing blades; standard fighting gear for Hunters.They'd been interested in the series of demon activities going on around the city ever since a deliveryboy had been declared missing on the news, and his body had been found days later in the

The Ravenwood Manor

"Do you think she'll ever wake up? She's been unconscious for 4 days.""You'll have to give her time. I don't think Jason's dogs were being too careful when they abducted her""Mortals die awfully easy, don't they? Weak little things"Four days. She'd been sleeping for four days.She had to wake up.But she couldn't. Her dreams came on to her like torrents of water, each more vivid than the former. Figures of darkness crashed and blended into one another. She saw her father, tied up at the tower of a cathedral. She saw Olive, standing atop a pile of bones. She saw herself, like watching a recorded tape of herself, but with straight, black hair and eyes like cesspools of darkness. When she opened her mouth, spiralling smoke came out. Figures in black clothing running at her with blazing swords, and their weapons slashed through her skin like paper.Then she saw angels with white wings. Angels falling from the sky. And she woke up.She couldn't move. She felt as if her eyes have been g

A Special Breed

"You have got to be kidding me" Maddie yelled"Think about this, Maddie. Do you know anything about your mother?""I–I do" Maddie said, but even as she said it, she felt her world crumbling around her. The only things she knew about her mother were the snippets her dad let loose at very few intervals. She knew her mother's date of birth and name: Mal Herodia Shay, and that her mother had died shortly after her birth, but nothing else. Not even the birthplace of her mother."No you don't, only the things your father chose to tell you. Your mother is a Greater Demon, Maddie. And she has been killing mortals all over New York. We need to find her and take her down."The tears that had been threatening to drop finally did, and Maddie curled in on herself, hugging her legs tight "I don't know what to believe anymore. I have a mother?" "Yes, Maddie, you do""Can you excuse me? I need some time to process this, please""I understand" Cassie smiled and left the room.It was all like a nightm

Sisters Of The Sword

After eating her first meal in days (and truly, Cassiopeia was a very good cook) Maddie had a bath, though she had no change of clothes. After this, Ethan came in to her room."Hello" He said "I was asked to fetch you. The Sword Sisters are ready to see you""Okay" Maddie said and got out of bed. She walked out of her room with Ethan into a corridor of sorts, lined with similar looking doors."This way," Ethan said and led her to the left.As they continued walking, Maddie noticed that the house had a queer sort of outlook, the way the house of a wealthy kleptomaniac would look, so to speak. Rows and rows of shelves were filled with oriental objects gathered from all over the world, from Chinese porcelain dolls to African traditional masks and figureheads.The walls were also filled with portraits of varying people, all wearing the same black turtlenecked gear she'd come to associate with Hunters, all with their names scribbled at the bottom of the portrait. Maddie whispered them as s

The Brotherhood Of Demons

The big, formidable cathedral on 8 Mile and Houston overlooked foot traffic of downtown New York. People going about their nightly business glanced at the cathedral and shivered in fear as they doubled their pace. Far below ran the East river, braceleted by bridges and flecked by boats that looked tiny from the distance. Although the night was thick with mist from the river, the top of the Statue of Liberty was visible from the cathedral.However, the woman who stood in the shadows of the cathedral's stained glass windows couldn't be less concerned about the view of the city. There was a frown on her white, almost marble-like face as she glared impatiently at the short, white-haired witch trying to create a Pentacle in the middle of the cathedral."What is taking you so long?" The woman demanded "It's been several minutes""It's the mist, my Lady Aosoth. It's making it hard to perform magic" The witch replied petulantly as she continued to draw the Pentacle. "The Pentacle is an eleme

The Wait

The Caucus of Hunters was a tight-knit group of representatives from the best Hunter families. They consisted of seven members from different families across the New York metropolis, and acted as the governing body for the race of Hunters present in the city. George Ravenwood, Celia Ravenwood's husband, was the head of the Caucus. He had been away on some Hunter business concerning the dead bodies when Maddie had been brought into the Manor, so she hadn't had the liberty of meeting the man.Celia his wife had summoned the Caucus to the manor shortly after Maddie had regained consciousness, to discuss the next step to take on her behalf. They had walked into the manor in all their numbers, and Maddie hadn't been given the chance to see them. She had been pushed rather unceremoniously into a room adjacent the study, where the Caucus were supposed to have their meeting.Maddie found it unfair that Jason, Cassie and Ethan had been allowed to attend the meeting that would somehow decide h

Lotus And Tracker Demons

Maddie shrugged into a wool coat lended to her by Cassie as the five of them including Ayesha stepped out of the huge house that was the Ravenwood Manor. She stared at the house as Jason locked the door."How do you manage to keep a house this big in the middle of New York?" She asked, thinking how contrasted the Manor was from the usual New York residences of half built apartment buildings and house trailers."Being a Ravenwood has its perks" Jason said as he jiggled the key in the lock."As if!" Ayesha snorted while chewing yet another gum "The house is Obscured, Maddie. It's a handy sort of magic, the ability to keep objects hidden in plain sight"Maddie wondered what Ayesha meant by this until she looked towards the sidewalk and watched as a group of shoppers stared at a widow's display of clothes in a boutique, and moved their eyes to the pastries shop on the other side of the Manor, as if the Manor didn't exist.Jason, having finished locking the door, policed all of them off th

Tears And Resolutions

"I need answers" Celia snapped."Mom, we can explain" Cassie, recovering her composure, stepped forward."Then get on with it" Jason's mother said, her arms folded, looking from Cassie to Ethan to Jason and back again. She was dressed in a stiff black suit, her hair, blonde like Cassie's and Jason's, packed up in a tight bun. Her eyes, an icy green, swept over her children like a searchlight. She didn't even act as if Maddie was there. Maddie could have been a hallway sculpture for all the attention she gave her.“We had a run-in with some Tracker demons in a diner. But it was nothing."Celia Ravenwood's frown deepened "And how much exactly is 'some'?"Even Cassie was silenced by that. She looked to Jason for an answer."A few" Jason said tentatively."A few' how many?" Celia's voice was rising. Ethan gave another squeak behind her.Ayesha spoke up for their benefit "I mean, technically there were about a dozen? But," she added, eyebrows raised "We only fought four""Four Tracker demo
