Demon - by KillaHawke1 Among the dark spirits and beasts that prey upon man, I am the vilest of them all. Yet man embraces and cherishes me above all others. Never have I had to impose my will or possess his body to have my bidding be done. Thou come to me freely and invite me in without reservation or hesitation. To abandon me will damn thy soul. To reject me, thou will be shunned and scorned. All who know me love me; although only deceptions do I offer. I am the voice in the silence from unanswered prayers. I am the healing thou seek when death and disease pass over thy children. I am the signs thou see in the heavens and stars that relay omens and warnings from future days. I am the reason thou kill for dogma and belief. Alas, do not despair, for I am not without benevolence or kindness. I provide comfort to thee from the fear of the unknown. I appease thy mind at times of mourning at the loss of thy most cherished loved ones. But do not be deceived, for millions of thy brothers and sisters have lost their lives in my name. Wickedness, sin, and destruction follow in my path. I turn fathers against sons and daughters against mothers. I am the source of all power wielded by every god who has ever crossed over into the realities of man. From the beginning, many of my kinds have wandered the lands. Demons populate thy history in abundance and are known by many names. I have but one name; one name of power and exalted above all others. Call out to me and I will come. Call my name and invite me in. Call to me. Call to Faith.
