Eternal Curse: Battleground 9.1 (wip)

It is said that to acquire his new host, Marcos taunted an already sickly evil man named Ivor Cervant, in order to make a deal with him. Ivor was born of superstitious gypsies and grew into a very angry and powerful young man. After brutally killing the man who caused his mother’s death, Ivor became a serial murder. Having no tolerance or mercy for anyone he felt was less than a saint, he began by attacking those who were in contact with the gypsies and sought to exploit them, but then his appetite for blood and death evolved.

The Blurb
In the future, will all the petty problems of everyday life be fixed or will it all go down the tubes? Giovanni and Mira can’t really say since they are too busy fighting the ongoing battle between good and evil in order to save the world- fixing it will simply have to wait.

Sometime in the fairly distant future, Giovanni and Mira are enjoying a life together but they are living no fairytale. When tragedy strikes in a way Giovanni is not prepared to deal with, he will have to decide whether life amongst the humans is worth fighting for or leave it all behind to seek a righteous calling.

Giovanni, along with a new ensemble of half-breed comrades and human companions, head into battle to face Marcos, his greatest foe. Blood, bone, and ash will be left on the battleground and the world will never be the same.
