Magus: Bane
Prologue
This is my story. This journal will tell you of a story. I wish I could tell you that what happened to me I saw coming. That I woke up every day believing that I was meant for something more. But my life was good, and stable. I had a job in the Armed Forces, I had a girlfriend, and a host of happy family.
But what was meant to come came. I was thrust into a live or die world, a world of which that I feel you need protection from. They came, and when they come, nothing good comes of it. They where known as the Hunters. There world is filled with perils and dangers, of death and revival. It was they who rocked the foundation of my world as they tore it apart all around me. I met several friends, lost a few, and learned that training from the age of 8 for combat was not, in fact, a waste of my time. The law is hard, an just. And the fall to hell is all too easy.
And yet it was I who posed a question in their world filled with mystery. For I, a mundane with no prior knowledge of the Shadow World, managed to gain a power that some may argue I shouldn't have. Nonetheless, it is much too late to go back now.
My family will never look at me the same, and I can never live a normal life with this blessing and curse. I am stronger, faster, and more powerful than any human can ever be. And it all started when I met my neighbor. He had somehow been able to avoid me, although I happened to live in the apartment above him. He was mysterious and foreboding, some would say creepy and unwelcoming. But he welcomed me into his world.
His name is Castiel.
