Cole goes on his this journey to remove his curse. As he goes the world slowly becomes over run by demons as the top ones turn humans into them. The world isn’t exactly a post-apocalyptic land but things have gone down hill. Cole runs into a group of demon hunters. They don’t trust him at first when he mentions his curse. Cole tossed around with the idea to lie about it but decide to tell the truth up front. The group of hunters try to kill him at first but are then ambushed by other demons. Cole helps defeat them, thus gaining their trust. They take him in and promise to help him get rid of his curse.<\/p>\n[aesop_chapter title=”Chapter 3″ subtitle=”The Journey Part 2″ bgtype=”color” full=”on” video_autoplay=”play_scroll” bgcolor=”#6a3caf” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n
The group continue the journey across the world to defeat the demons and help Cole. The leader of the group is Clark. Clark formed the group when his family was taken out by demons, left for dead as a warning to others in his town. Many others in the group suffered the same story. Philip is their medic and acts almost as a mentor for the younger members of the group. They run into demons daily and many get injured along the way, some die. The numbers in the group dwindle but they gain more as they go.<\/p>\n[aesop_chapter title=”Chapter 4″ subtitle=”Betrayal” bgtype=”color” full=”on” video_autoplay=”play_scroll” bgcolor=”#af2e0d” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n
Soon Circe comes back into the picture. She promises all she wants is to help. She wants to teach Cole how to use his demonic powers. She even goes so far as to tell him the curse can’t be removed. The group, including Cole, are wary of her but decide to let her join them. She trains Cole for weeks before the group is ambushed again. Circe turns on the group. More members are severely injured or die. Cole is left feeling guilty that he convinced Clark and everyone else to trust her.<\/p>\n[aesop_chapter title=”Chapter 5″ subtitle=”The Final Showdown” bgtype=”color” full=”on” video_autoplay=”play_scroll” bgcolor=”#ed072a” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n
It takes well over a year since the ambush put on by Circe for the group to come face to face with the top demons. With Cole’s training and all the hard work the group has put into their own training, they are able to fight off the top demons. Some perish but in the end they win and defeat them. As the demons slowly disappear, all around the world the humans who were turned into demons perish as well. They finally did it, Clark’s band of rebels as well as Cole rid the world of demons. But at what cost? It cost several lives but their deaths didn’t go in vain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
