It’s cold and dark in Seattle when you’re up on the rooftops at night. A melancholy swirl of gray mist topped off with a painterly black sky, sprinkled with tiny stars. There was no cluttered human speech, no deafening screeching of the cars, and no one blaring music from speakers. Just the subtle whistling of the wind. …[continue reading]

Prologue
The entire known world exists inside a great tree, known as the tree of life. Within the tree of life are the seven realms, separated into the branches, the roots, and the trunk. In the branches are the three upper realms, home to the angels, the elves, and the faeries respectively. In the roots are …[continue reading]
Prologue 2 (Death)
“Get back here you giant piece of soul snot!” Death dashed through the streets of Seattle, chasing after a faintly translucent blue woman at top speed. He wasn’t quite as poetic as his older brother, and this made his job a lot harder at times. He had curly blond hair, sparkling blue eyes, and a …[continue reading]
Chapter 1
Lewis poked his head out from the manhole, his tail twitching nervously as his eyes darted about the empty alleyway. “All clear, Chief.” “Homlin zwio Yeppa naikana?” Lewis closed the manhole and looked over at the seven inch tall pudgy blue humanoid sitting on his shoulder. It had tall tall black eyes, pointed teeth, two …[continue reading]
Chapter 1
Death strolled up to the entrance of the Seattle Center subway. “Rank 7, huh…” He’d never fought a hellspawn that strong before, could he even win? Well, worst case scenario he’d end up chilling in heaven for a couple eternities, so he might as well just get it over with. “Everything has its place. Everyone …[continue reading]

Normally, she would alleviate her boredom by observing the behavior of her classmates, but today the only ones in class were a few of the more boring students and Lewis. Pandora felt a scowl form on her face, ah, …[continue reading]
Chapter 2
The air was crisp in the the early morning of London’s rooftops. Grimm found quiet atmospheres like this calming, which was good, because he was in a foul mood. This was due to the hellspawn he was to hunt down. He despised hellspawn, they were violent and irrational creatures, that refused to be reasoned with. …[continue reading]
Chapter 3
Lewis gently closed the door to his apartment, treading in with a heavy sigh. Immediately he was greeted by an excitable blue creature, similar to Chief in appearance, but with a small pair of goggles instead of a headband. It swiftly began to babble excitedly and tug on Lewis’s pant leg for several seconds before …[continue reading]
Chapter 3
Death sprinted across the misty streets of London, his scythe slung over his shoulder. He knew better than anyone that Grimm was the strongest of the Reapers, save for their parents, but he was still worried. He couldn’t help it! He and his brother had been together since Grimm was four, and neither could imagine …[continue reading]
Chapter 4
Pandora gently shoved the door to Lewis’s apartment open, her eyes cautiously wandering around the room. She had weaseled, bluffed, and flim-flammed her way into his house, but now she needed to figure out how to actually find what she was looking for without arousing suspicion. This would have been much easier, had it not …[continue reading]
