Eternal Curse: Battleground 9.0 (wip)

All was quiet. The tension is the room was palpable. We each held our breaths and ignored the elephant in the room as Dad began to slowly descend back down to the floor. I couldn’t even remember at what point during Sheldon’s story that he’d become so overwhelmed. I only hoped that this wouldn’t be a major setback in Dad’s progression.

Flakes of frost began to crawl up the walls as Sheldon and Dad’s combined efforts worked to restore a comfortable temperature to the confined quarter. I stood strong and put on a brave face the way Mom had taught me, so Dad wouldn’t worry too much about hurting or scaring me. Once we were all in the clear and we were certain that Dad’s condition would continue to progress, Sheldon continued his tale. We all knew what was coming next.

Eternal Curse: Battleground 8.2 (wip)

For years, Felix and the demon battled one another, with the demon appearing in a new host body each time. The Demon would come in and out of Felix’s life just to bait him and annoy him. When Felix’s wife’s mortality had reached its end during the final days of the sixteenth century, it was that same demon that came to his side for comfort. The demon preached to Felix about the frailty and weakness of humans, and then spoke of the corrupted grandeur of an eternal life built on the pursuit of power. Felix had no idea of his true power and potential, and thus became a puppet to this villainous possessor. With the demon’s guidance and directive, Felix set out to destroy all others like him, so no one would remain to protect the humans he now looked down upon.

Eternal Curse: Battleground 8.1 (wip)

I was amazed by Mom’s boldness; she was such a natural leader, like Fred. Seeing those two together made me feel safe somehow; knowing they were the good guys made me feel that all the fighting was worth it. I just knew that all the battles would come to an end one day, and all the conflicts would be resolved. Fred explained that he’d been seeking out a special and rear kind of half-breed with powers and capabilities far beyond that of the average. He said he knew of only two other such types and that they were called the Descendants.
