Part One:
Hunting Shadows
If anyone should find this journal, there are a few things you must know about demons.
Firstly—and I believe this is the first thing anybody should ever know of their kind—, being immortal beings, not from this world but now a part of it, one cannot end a demon's life by any means. No weapon or device can banish them from existence. One may shred the “matter” making up the form of a demon with a sword or otherwise, so much so that it would take quite a while for it to regenerate its body. But it would not die.
For this very reason, along with the obscurity of their origin, I have found the existence of demons to be a tricky one to understand. After all, if Father Truth had created them, why had he not uncreated them, after the demons had begun killing humans? Why had he not given man a tool to defeat them?
Although, the more I consider this last question while progressing in my studies of demon-kind, the more I think Father Truth had given man a tool.
