Synopsis
He sees demons. He sees devils. He sees what no one else will. And they see him. *** Cole has spent his life haunted by horrors no one else can see: whispering things that feed on grief, move through shadows, and wear the faces of the dead. For years, Cole kept quiet. But now they're watching back. When one of these monsters marks him as prey, Cole is saved by a stranger named Ikaris, a man of the Dauntless, cursed warrior forged in fire and ash. But salvation comes at a cost. Now on the run from both monsters and men, Cole must flee from the port city of Bruis before nightfall, before evil gets to him. But Bruis is only the beginning. And what hunts him is older than the Saints and the Inquisition, older than fire itself. Can he unlock the powers of a Seer before Cole burns his humanity? The deeper Cole digs, the more he realizes: The real monsters aren't just in the dark. **** Updates: daily Current Arc: Escape Bruis

Chapter 1 - Null

I see demons.

I see devils.

I see the monsters that wear the twisted faces of mad men, whose expressions are locked in grief and terror.

They're everywhere.

No one believes me, yet I see them. I know they're real.

If you don't notice, they'll latch on to you. They'll whisper false words into your ear, saying maddening sentences. 

They're the parasites of the night; predators of men. 

They are the apex.

If you don't open your eyes, you'll be trapped; dancing in the palm of their hands, wrapped in layers of darkness, and led astray from life, toward the pit of hell they call their home.

If you don't begin to open your eyes and look, they'll see you first.

Mother saw them, they spoke to her, yet she kept her eyes closed.

That's how they took her, like how they'll take you. 

Evil is real.

Open your eyes.
