In a world where ancient forces and dark secrets intertwine, a mysterious hybrid emerges, both human and demon.
Its mere existence disrupting the fragile balance between light and dark. Chaos, destruction, bloodshed, that's what is gained from this...
The sounds of crickets chirping and branches brushing against each other filled the night air, a stark contrast to the heavy, anticipatory silence that lay beneath.
Heavy footsteps echoed through the gloom.
A shadowy creature loomed in the heart of the forest, fury radiating from him like heat from a flame.
He crouched low, his sharp claws digging into the soft earth, savoring the taste of blood that coated his claws—a recent catch, a hapless wanderer he had hunted down with ruthless precision.
The warm, metallic tang lingered in the air, fueling his insatiable hunger and deepening his dark pleasure. Fangs tore apart the flesh carelessly without a second thought as the crimson liquid poured out, staining everywhere as his body had become bloodied from the ferocious eating.
This was his territory, a place steeped within the shadows and horrors, where the trees stood as silent witnesses to his dark deeds.
A hybrid forged from darkness and despair, a being born of blood and shadow—a grotesque union of human and demon. Something completely unholy.
His skin was the color of merciless storm clouds, it shimmered ominously, exuding an aura that both repelled and enthralled.
His hair, a cascade of black streaked with a striking white, flowed down his back like a dark river, whipping around him in a perpetual tempest. It ran through his back as if it were a serpent's tail, twitching as he ate with no care.
Six piercing red eyes, each framed by glowing yellow rings, it surveyed the world with a predatory hunger, their depths promising destruction to those foolish enough to cross his path.
His arms, adorned with black feathers that glimmered like obsidian in the faintest light, gave him an unsettling avian quality.
Sharp claws were his replacements for fingers, equal to the claws on his feet. Fully capable of rending flesh and bone with the slightest effort, while two mouths—one on his face and another grotesquely situated on his neck—spoke of his unnatural heritage, whispering secrets of chaos and suffering. Using both to feast on his prey, as if he were a wild animal.
However, this was not a mindless beast. Far from it, this was a creature of cold, calculating malice.
He thrived on chaos, relishing the suffering of others like a fine wine. Bloodshed was his artistry, each drop a testament to his power and dominance. Yet beneath the surface of his ruthlessness lay a deep-seated rage—a hatred not just for his enemies but for the very essence of his being.
Light.
It was the bane of his existence, a brutal reminder of the frailty lurking within his hybrid nature. Humanity.
Though he could not perish from light like typical demons, its blinding brilliance weakened him, stunning him at moments when he should have been invincible.
The memory of that searing flash burned in his mind, igniting an inferno of resentment. Gratitude for surviving bubbled beneath his anger. It was better than pathetically dying to it, yet it still felt like a betrayal, a mark of weakness that gnawed at his pride.
"How dare she wield such power against me?"
That woman—her face, that pathetic contraption she used to ward him off—filled him with fury. He could still feel the sting of humiliation at having been caught off guard. It enraged him to hell and back.
He paced in the gloom as he finished his meal, now subconsciously chewing on the bone. Claws now scraping against the ground, his thoughts churning like a storm. He wouldn't let her tell anyone about his flaw. He would never let anyone know this foolish fact.
The thought of exposure sent a shiver of dread through him. The vulnerability she had witnessed must be buried, he would not allow such a precious secret to slip from his grasp.
He had fought tooth and nail to cultivate an image of invincibility, and the idea of having that shattered by a mere human was intolerable.
With each step, his fury transformed into a calculated resolve. He had always prided himself on being a master of manipulation, a puppeteer pulling strings from the shadows.
He thrived on the twisted faces of betrayal as his countless prey realized they had been deceived, crumbling under the weight of their misplaced trust.
"The exorcists. . ."
The name rolled off his tongue like poison. He had heard of this group before but had never encountered its members. Still, he was keenly aware of their existence—a thorn on his side, a barrier to his reign of chaos.
Suddenly.
An idea popped into his head.
"Perhaps I could infiltrate them. . ."
". . ."
He spoke as he stared up into the moonlit sky, feeling the cool breeze as he furrowed his brows.
He was certain that woman was one of them. He had felt her strength, her energy—a beacon that beckoned him. The thought excited him, a delicious anticipation igniting his senses.
He chuckled softly, a low and sinister sound, revealing his razor-sharp teeth in a manic grin.
'I'll ruin her.'
'Ruin them all.'
The mere thought sent a thrill coursing through him, a heavy rush that fueled his desire for a bloodbath.
Finally something exciting he could do!
He envisioned their faces twisted in terror as they learned of his return, particularly that woman—watching her break apart would be a delight beyond measure.
But— he was not foolish enough to act recklessly. First, he needed information. Knowledge was a weapon, sharper than his claws and far more lethal.
He would dissect his enemies, uncover their strengths, their weaknesses, their connections.
'A disguise, perhaps? The guise of a helpful ally or even a friend? '
They wouldn't see him coming.
He cackled at the thought, the sound echoing through the trees like a portent of doom.
It sounded like so much fun.
He couldn't wait.
With renewed purpose surging within him, Grayzen slipped deeper into the shadows, a predator poised to strike. He would learn, he would adapt, and soon, he would unleash his wrath upon the exorcists. They had no idea what awaited them.
'I will not just kill them.'
'I will break them.'
He vowed, a sinister grin stretching across his lips, anticipation crackling in the air around him like electricity as he disappeared.
