As long as God's light has existed so has the darkness, and thus creatures of the darkness--ancient creatures nearly as old as the devil himself. God, however, in all of His mysterious ways, has a plan. A plan that may yet bring enlightenment to one man and salvation to others. Unfortunately, not all participants in His plan are willing, and being volun-TOLD, for anything, is where Ray Segal draws the line. Ray had his own plans and they didn't involve a mythical sky daddy, a shady priest, a beady-eyed "book collector", and least of all burying the one person in the world who always had his back. Now, Ray must open his mind and his eyes to new possibilities and find a way to deal with the harsh reality of his brother's passing. But, to do so means going deep within the bane of his whole childhood existence...the church. Will he find the answers he seeks? And if he does, can he bear the burden of that knowledge?

The Warriors of Light

The tension in the room increased as I steadily watched the thing that was once a man now transformed into a demon right before my eyes. I didn’t think they existed. I didn’t believe what I saw to be really true. I wanted answers when I showed up here, but now I’m left panting with more questions as Gregory squatted in front of me. I didn’t realize I had sat on the stairs of the sanctuary, eyes locked in a catatonic state as the demon withered and dissolved.

/"He has seen far too much, Brother Gregory. He must have his memory wiped./" A voice from behind me spoke, but I never turned back to look at them. /"He has witnessed much more than most due to your neglect./"

Gregory sighed as he put on his robe. /"I had hope…/"

/"There will be no hope. Dispose of him now./"
