The Dark Chronicles

Creaturepedia-

Demon Puppets- When a human is possessed by a demon, they become a puppet.

Corpservants- When demons possess the undead, they rise from their graves and are much different than your typical zombie. They possess supernatural powers and their eyes become red. Some are in rotting flesh form, others are just skeletons.

Fleshlings (Flesh Instruments)- Corpse limbs possessed by demons that run amok; hands, feet, will it be trick or treat?...

Phantomimes- Phantoms that play tricks, masters of illusion. Sneaky and nimble, they attack by surprise.

Darklings- Born from the darkness, seeping out from the shadows... ~ Darklings are incarnations of evil that resemble shadowy figures. They grab you in a chokehold with their long shadowy limbs and try to drag you back into the darkness with them, where you will be consumed by darkness and disintegrate into nothing. Evil becomes powerful in the dark, it manifests itself into the shadowy realms of this earth and creates all these horrific creatures. Keep a light source nearby because the sun will soon be setting.... ~

~Demons roam free when the portals are opened and possess anything they can.~

Story Snippet: The Chronicles of Darkness- The Summoning~

The portals to The Dark Side (AKA The Underworld) have been opened with the discovery of an ancient book of satanic rituals that should've been burned a long time ago. There is a very powerful ritual that summons evil when three words are chanted three times, satanic tribes would chant the words and dance around a fire; the only thing that illuminated them in the darkness as creatures would crawl out of the darkness of the night. The book was later on discovered by Violet's rich grandfather who owned a mansion overlooking the sacred satanic forest "Darkwood." Not a lot of people dared to venture into these woods that were always dark because of all the trees that shaded it, there were many rumors of the forest being a very evil place. He would go for walks in it during the day and on one of his walks he came upon the sacred book, stuck in the crevasse of a hollowed out tree stump. It was pretty well hidden, but he noticed something strange stuck inside the stump when he came up to it to take a rest, so he reached in to see if he could get it out. It was pretty tightly wedged inside, so he had to use a bit of force, and through a slight struggle he managed to pull it out. "Hmm must be an old book of some sort..." The book was falling apart and had a cover made of dark brown leather. He carefully opened it and saw strange pictures and text, "Hmm, interesting.... I'll check this out later," he took it home with him. Violet lived with her grandparents, ever since her parents had passed away in a car crash, they had took her in and raised her from a very young age.
"Grandfather, what's that?" she asked as he walked in carrying the book. She had been laying on the sofa reading, one of her favorite pass-times aside from voodoo and witchery.
 "I found this on my walk, it appears to be a very old book. We can add it to our collection," he started walking towards the big hall that led to all the rooms, including the library.
"Grandfather, can I see it?" she was now filled with curiosity.
"Oh sure, just be careful dear. It's already falling apart." he handed it to his grand-daughter, whose eyes were lit-up as she gently ran her hand over the cover, feeling the indents in the leather that made strange symbols.
"Neat...." she took it up into her room, eager to read it. The next few hours were spent flipping through the book and reading different parts of it. Some of the words were starting to fade and hard to make out. "Kanta, lumen, sentar..." She whispered as she ran her finger over the text, "Chant these three words, three times..."

Unaware of the evil that would soon be released, she repeated the phrase two more times and shortly after heard a strange sound from under her bed. Shrugging it off, she continued reading. "Portals to 'The Dark Side' will be opened and evil will be set free......" Her eyes turned wide as she heard more rustling from under her bed and strange whispers. Suddenly a doll hand reached out from under her bed and she shrieked. Grabbing the book, she jumped off the bed and ran towards her bedroom door. She quickly skimmed through the text, "To close the portal, chant the same phrase again three times. But this time, in reverse." The doll poked it's head out and revealed glaring red eyes, "Sentar, lumen, kanta!" Violet quickly chanted, three times. And the doll fell on the ground, lifeless. A sound of slowly dissipating demon voices was heard and then pure silence. Violet stood there, still in shock, while clutching the book close to her. Slowly, a smirk formed on her face.

Daniel Dawnstone had been having these strange dreams every night, and they all consisted of the same events; hell on earth. Just when you thought it was already hell on earth, the portals to the underworld are opened and ultimate chaos ensues.

Danny woke up with a raging headache. "Where's the damn advil?" He fumbled through his kitchen cabinets.
He took two pills and then sat down on the couch, with his head in his hands. "This feels like the worst hangover ever and I didn't even drink last night..."
