He flew through the air, drawing the attention of nearby demons in midflight. He saw them shift directions and dart towards him just before he dipped beneath the jungle canopy again.

He hadn't been able to keep Hannah safe or Toby or Katie.
It sounded like a herd of horses plowing through the jungle. "Demons," Toby said.
We need to get to safety, and I don't have enough food to blow up the amount of trees it'll take to stop a herd of demons.
The angel found his footing and took her hand. They raced through the last of the jungle and across the expanse of grassless yard between the jungle and the palace. The sounds of demons grew louder.
He faced the jungle. The trees were battling demons, but one then a few then a dozen of the creatures escaped the jungle's grip to pursue.
She pulled, and he ran. Katie felt the ground shake beneath them as the demons pursued. Several flew overhead and dropped directly in their path. She stopped and shoved Toby behind her, drawing the knife Gabe had given her. Before long, they were surrounded.
Katie turned away and snatched Toby's hand. They approached the demons tentatively, waiting for the quiet creatures to attack rather than move. As if under a trance, the demons moved away in synchronized steps.
Toby took the lead, and the demons, Death and Gabe disappeared as Katie rounded the corner of the palace. The angel released her and raced into the palace and up a set of stairs. They ascended several floors, until Katie was sucking wind bad enough to stop. Toby didn't wait for her, and she stumbled forward. The interior of the palace was unlit, and the darkness of evening crept into the hallways.

Fear made Rhyn's chest seize. No sooner had Gabe spoken the words than the demons fell away. Coldness snapped over Rhyn, and his surroundings blurred.

The promise he'd made to keep Katie happy made him feel sick, and duty would never fill the hollow part of him that would remain during a lifetime without his mate.
Death lowered the hand displaying the end of the world scenario. The images of Gabe fighting demons switched to those of Katie on the beach under the moonlight. Rhyn's breath caught at the sight of her. She appeared exhausted, tattered, and drenched from the underworld rain. She'd never looked as beautiful as she did, even if she looked as if she'd just left the underworld. Toby was with her, pulling her from the beach towards the Sanctuary.

The genesis of Mandaeis.m and the older gnosis from the old and elaborate BabylonioChaldaean religion is clearly seen also in the fact that the names of the old pantheon (as for example those of the planetary divinities) are retained, but their holders degraded to the position of demons - a conclusion confirmed by the fact that the Mandaeans, like the allied Ophites, Peratae and Manichaeans, certainly have their original seat in Mesopotamia and Babylonia.

Demons, when they are regarded as spirits, may belong to either of the classes of spirits recognized by primitive animism; that is to say, they may be human, or non-human, separable souls, or discarnate spirits which have never inhabited a body; a sharp distinction is often drawn between these two classes, notably by the Melanesians, the West Africans and others; the Arab jinn, for example, are not reducible to modified human souls; at the same time these classes are frequently conceived as producing identical results, e.g.

Especially complicated was the ancient Babylonian demonology; all the petty annoyances of life - a sudden fall, a headache, a quarrel - were set down to the agency of fiends; all the stronger emotions - love, hate, jealousy and so on - were regarded as the work of demons; in fact so numerous were they, that there were special fiends for various parts of the human body - one for the head, another for the neck, and so on.

To some extent, the individual came in for his share in the incantations and in the purification ritual through which one might hope to rid oneself of the power of the demons and of other evil spirits, but outside of this the important aim of the priests was to secure for the general benefit the favour of the gods, or, as a means of preparing oneself for what the future had in store, to ascertain in time whether that favour would be granted in any particular instance or would be continued in the future.
But the choice of evil was not made only by man but by angels, who by their evil choice became the demons, that is, the gods of the heathen world.
Tatian does not deny the stories of the Greek mythology - indeed he protests against any attempt to allegorize it - but he insists that these stories are the record of the deeds of demons and have no religious value.

The first demons that crossed her path made her freeze in place.
There were more demons on this level, a couple of which eyed her before moving on, leaving her a bit more confident she wasn't going to be eaten.
Of course demons have names.
In a place that operated on rigged deals where demons didn't seem to lose, she was certain anything she asked Darkyn for was going to cost her.
Several demons exited, and the stone door closed silently.
Demons loved a challenge and a fight.
He'd told her not to run, but she found herself sprinting as soon as she was free of the dead demons.
The demon blood on her face and arms disgusted her, just like the sight of the ease with which Darkyn shredded three demons with bodies like humans.
A blood bond is another, practiced between demons in place of the mating bond.
Demons are the only who still practice it.
Demons have blood marks.
There's no difference for demons.
No one else can turn a human into a demon, and only demons blood bind.
The blood bond between demons is to ensure one of them doesn't get too hungry and bleed the other dry.
Deidre, you can't be around normal mortals or Immortals for long or even really demons outside of Hell.
It's a sub-class of demons.
Before a few months ago, the Immortals and demons had an understanding that the normal humans are off limits.
She'd helped Rhyn stop Darkyn's demons.
She was expecting to see some gruesome scene like that in the second bedroom caused by Darkyn's demons a week ago or what he'd done to his own demons who tried to drink her blood in Hell.
Even demons feared Past-Death; she'd ride on the small woman's reputation.
Merciless, cutthroat, aggressive, he purged the oldest demons from the demon ranks.
He was a brutal disciplinarian with no more mercy for his demons than he showed humans who lost deals.
Neither humans nor demons are permitted entry to the underworld.
Darkyn's assertion that demons didn't have emotions almost seemed true.
The two demons lurking in the shadows weren't opening the only way out of Hell for an Immortal.
As the head of the Immortal Council That Was Seven, Rhyn was charged with protecting the human population from demons.
In the course of a few months, the old understanding between Immortals and demons – that humans were off-limits – crashed to the ground.
Rhyn's Immortals were struggling to recover from battles with the demons, while he struggled to keep the Council together, let alone focused.
Yeah. She got attacked by demons today.
He looked as if he'd fought his way through a herd of demons to reach them.
Demons – especially those personally trained by Darkyn – knew how to sense weakness.
Andre, the eldest brother of the Council That Was Seven, had been recently reincarnated by Gabriel to help in the search for demons.
His dealers were beating the demons to the souls.
Landon reported one more going missing and another killed in a fight with five demons when he went to claim a soul.
Erik, one of Rhyn's half-brothers, was bloody and bruised from what looked like a prolonged battle with several demons.
It appeared as if he'd been living quietly here, until discovered by demons.
The dome cracked and the demons came through.
Your dealers are finding souls and you're beating the demons.
When he was done killing demons, he'd interrogate the death dealer he had sitting in a cell at the bottom of the fortress.
He wasn't certain how Rhyn's men managed to drive away the demons last autumn.
Darkyn was standing beside a molten tear in the earth, flanked by seven demons that stood one and a half times the size of Gabriel, the largest man Wynn knew.
When Darkyn's demons had wiped out his village, a tiny stopover on their journey to enslave the mortal realm.
I'd take a herd of demons over this shit.
Darkyn wasn't giving off the same vibe that other demons – who were roughly equivalent to Immortals in the food chain – gave off.
With the sheer number of demons Darkyn had assigned to watching Deidre over the years and all the leads he'd personally pursued, he should have stumbled upon it by now.
We're managed by a council that very poorly oversees Immortal activities in the mortal world and fights demons to keep the underworld dwellers from destroying the human world.
Do humans eat … uh … demons?
But demons do eat humans, she read, grimacing at the image of a cheerful man on a platter surrounded by demons.
Go back to the real world, where there were no demons or Immortals or the sexy man who wanted to claim her heart while offering her nothing in return beyond his bed.
The Council had been on the verge of splitting for years, severing the effectiveness of their ability to combat Darkyn's demons.
He'd wondered how they were choosing which souls to take and assumed his dealers were beating the demons to some.
What if the demons were choosing which souls they wanted, based on the compass readings?
In all his years, he'd known one Immortal with the unrivaled gifts of not only tracking demons in the mortal realm but manipulating the minds of Immortals and mortals.
The underworld cracked, and the demons came to claim the souls.
I need a reward, before the demons in the forest attack us.
If not for the demons. interruption, he and Katie would be doing a different kind of mud wrestling.
They.d been led by the demon leader Darkyn, whom the Dark One had punished when Death discovered what the demons had done.
She couldn.t help but think Sasha.s sudden appearance was related to the demons in the forest and her dreams.
Kris never would.ve sent him away, Sasha wouldn.t have stumbled upon the immunity blood, and the demons wouldn.t be amassing an army to send to the human world.
Katie scrambled up into the hall and maneuvered her bloodied arm to see the damage, suddenly aware the two demons had stopped fighting.
One of the demons launched itself down the hall after her, only for the other to tackle it and the two of them to roll down the hall in a furry mass of wings, legs, and snapping teeth.
She shook her head to clear her anger and sat with her back to the counter, forcing herself to concentrate on the shadow world and tapping into Rhyn.s power despite the sounds of demons fighting so near the kitchen.
Demons are … demons, and Immortals are more closely related to angels.
Demons can.t cross onto sacred grounds!
Ully looked at her, even more pale than usual, and she retreated to the castle, worried sick about Toby and Rhyn, even knowing the half-demon could take out half the demons in Hell if he felt like it.
Demons don.t normally attack them, unless they were trying to draw you outside the sacred grounds, Katie, he said.
The reason I.m lying here in pain has to do with my accidental ambush of Darkyn.s demons, the demon replied.
In any case, Darkyn.s demons are planning to invade the castle, where your sweet little morsel is, so they can slaughter every last annoying Immortal.
Demons can.t cross the sacred grounds.
Rumor had it the Council hadn.t agreed on anything in a few hundred years, and Rhyn began to think the brothers he hated might be the solution to the demons.
Katie wondered what had called him away—news of the demons in the forest or some other awful plan by Kris?
I was under some … pressure from the demons after some stupid misunderstanding regarding Darkyn.s daughter and a few others, so I took it and came here, he said.
A single figure already awaited him at the edge of the invisible wall that kept the demons out of the sacred grounds.
I find it funny you demons spend your days looking for ways to break the Code then dare quote it to me.
But then, he needed some way to keep his Immortals safe until he could determine how many demons were in the forest so he could wipe them out.
Rhyn.s pterodactyl shape hovered over the demons at the edge of the forest, one of the creatures dangling in his talons.
I.m also making a special poisoned batch to give back to the demons.
I.ve got Toby to think about, and raising him where he.s attacked by demons and subjected to the stupidity of the Immortal world—it.s not happening.
No matter what, she.d be safer at the Sanctuary than at the castle, now that the Council was in disarray and the demons were plotting in the forest.
The demons have crossed sacred ground, he said dryly.
It was one thing to feed Kris and the Immortals here to the demons, another thing to give the demons a tool they could use to destroy all Immortals, if not humanity, too.
Jade bristled for an attack, even knowing the demons couldn.t draw near.
He heard the demons withdraw from the forest around them toward the castle.
The next time the demons attack, they may be immune to death by our hands.
Kris told you to make a toxic version he could trade back to the demons.
Uncertain whether or not the battle still waged between demons and Immortals, she braced herself to be attacked as she flew past every doorway towards the back stairwell.
Demons are born with predetermined forms that are unique to the demon.
He was shapeshifting like a maniac and just tearing demons. heads off.
Immortals and demons fought among themselves, for mortals were too weak and temporary to bother with.
His thoughts on preventing demons from killing innocent humans, he missed the resentful look that crossed Gabriel.s face.
He would go to Kris and tell him just that—that Sasha had done this all, and he, Jade, had tried to help but been nearly killed by the demons!
It was one thing for the demons and Immortals to fight, but to attack the innocent humans was madness.
She found me when I was a youth, after I'd seen the slaughter of my family at the hands of demons. I watched her take their souls.
Demons that could take on the forms of whatever human they pleased were rare, and Darkyn had hand-selected the one before him for this mission. Impressed, he stood back and motioned the cowering Immortal in the corner forward. The Immortal scientist, Ully, crept towards them, the chains around his feet rattling with each step.
He's about to lead my demons to the underworld. With the Immortals in disarray and Death's … mistake, I can own the underworld before Rhyn can control his power enough to stop me.
Darkyn suspected twisted Immortals like Sasha were rare. One of the brothers on the Council That Was Seven, Sasha had been strategically placed to provide Darkyn more information than he'd hoped for. Sasha's only flaw had been his madness, which ultimately resulted in his death. Sasha had identified Ully, who was hand-selected by Andre. While Darkyn didn't know the full details of how Andre had gotten Death to release the once-dead human, he did know Andre and Death wouldn't have done something so important if Ully wasn't the brilliant scientist he was. It was unfortunate that Ully would be killed as soon as the three shapeshifting demons reached the underworld, but Darkyn didn't believe in loose ends.
Sensing demons in the upcoming halls, he replaced his hood and stepped from the stairwell leading to the basement into the hall on the main floor. Half a dozen demons paced the corridor, three dressed as scouts like he was. Rhyn made his way through his half-brethren, once again getting an idea of how many were there.
I heard the demons talking about it when I was in the lab. Jared is a glorified prisoner.
No. Mortals are like … candy to demons. Demons don't need them, but they taste good.
He'd let Rhyn die, just as he sent Rhyn on what he thought was a suicide mission expelling demons from the castle.
We'd be easier to pick off by the demons! This isn't up for debate right now. Just because Rhyn isn't here to beat you all into submission doesn't mean the Council can break up.
Andre took up his position flanking her, and she shot him a look. She couldn't imagine why a demon would want to pose as Gabriel – and insist on guiding her through the underworld. Her limited experience with demons was that they all wanted to kill her or drag her to Hell or to Darkyn.
Two days with demons … he'd seen what happened to her here, in Hell, over a similar period of time. Sasha was twisted, but Darkyn was merciless.
By morning, we'll probably be surrounded by shapeshifting demons and assassins out to get us. I'm tired of playing this game. I'm not going to be helpless anymore.
There's a difference between free will and having the deck stacked against you. Humans need someone to protect them from these reckless Immortals, not to mention the demons.
Deidre said nothing. Rain fell steadily, until Katie's skin was too numbed to feel it. She heard Deidre's breathing grow deeper as the woman fell asleep. Aware there could be demons or other creatures in the dark, Katie roused herself to keep watch, as Gabriel had kept watch over her.
A portal had opened overhead, back towards what Gabe had called the Lake of Souls. Demons fell from the sky, some changing into their winged forms while others simply fell. It was too far for them to survive if they fell, and he estimated half of them were likely dead on impact.
The other half numbered in the hundreds. The winged demons hovered around the portal and then took off in separate directions, swooping low above the jungle.
Rhyn scampered down the tree and fell far enough to knock his breath out. Demons flew overhead, unable to see through the canopy. He froze, watching them circle then leave, and stood, catching his breath. Fear penetrated him, colder than the rain. Katie was vulnerable. Gabe was vulnerable.
The branches flung upwards, snatching the legs and wings of the demons. Toby heard a demon shriek as its wings were torn from its body. The tree lowered Toby to the ground. He looked up once more, turned and ran through the jungle, leaving the trees to fight off the demons.
Katie bit back the words she wanted to say. Toby was too small to protect anyone, and she couldn't help feeling panic stir again at the thought that now he – and Deidre – were now as vulnerable as she was to the demons. The thought of Rhyn being close made her body warm from the inside out. Maybe, if she could find him …the cry of a demon overhead drew her attention.
She pulled two food cubes free and flung one towards the demons then dropped one where she stood. Turning, she grabbed Deidre's arm and ran hard. As before, nothing happened at first then the earth roared as it split apart. The ground trembled, throwing both of them down.
Deidre landed on her back beside her, and Katie pulled Toby against her. They huddled on the ground, waiting for the trees to crush them or the demons to snatch them. The ground continued to rumble. Slowly, the sounds died down then fell silent. Katie peered apprehensively out at the world.
As fast as Kris ran, he couldn't catch her. He grew more baffled when she seemed to pull ahead of him without any sign of the exhaustion she'd showed when they stopped. Desperation could motivate, and so could fear for her sister. He pushed himself harder to catch her. Thunder boomed overhead. Forms he assumed were demons swooped above the canopy, casting shadows. He caught glimpses of fur and wings through leaves and ran until his chest was heaving. Hannah remained ahead of him, though he realized he was beginning to gain on her. He had to reach her before the demons did and swept her away, as they had Kiki.
With all your ruckus, you've probably drawn the attention of the demons. We need to move.
She gritted her teeth in pain and sucked in a breath as she started to fall again. She glimpsed demons hovering a short distance away over an opening in the jungle. They looked like massive, angry hornets before disappearing from her line of sight. A branch grabbed her arm this time and threw her back over the treetops. This time, she faced a different direction and saw a sprawling palace the size of a mall.
The sound of the demons' pursuit reached her again.
The petite woman started to run, ignoring the demons that swiped at her with talons large enough to take off her head with one swipe. She seemed immune to the demons' strikes. They fell away, as if hitting an invisible shield. The bizarre display drew more than Katie and Toby's attention. A ripple went through the demons, and they turned to watch the tiny woman sprinting towards them with flashing blue eyes.
Deidre reached the group of demons. Rather than attack her, they parted, inching away from her. Speechless, Katie watched her approach. The demons fell silent, and even those fighting Gabe stopped.
She held out her hand again. A hologram-like image appeared in her hand. Rhyn saw the demons pouring from the skies over major cities in the mortal worlds.
As much as I love her, I can't condemn her kind to the demons.
He emerged outside the jailer's door and readied himself for a confrontation. The sounds of activity were thick in the hallways behind him, and he listened, trying to determine if he could hear any sounds that the demons were victorious in the underworld.
She stepped closer to him as she had in their dream, gazing up into his molten silver eyes. He'd gone to Hell for Hannah and confronted Death for her. He'd killed demons to protect her and defied his family to find – and keep – her.
The demon before him looked down but didn't object, understanding his place. Unlike Immortals, demons obeyed their leaders. But maybe, next time, lack of discipline in his enemies would work for Darkyn. He'd failed to takeover Death's domain or to kill her. It would take Gabriel a very long time to learn how to rule over the dead, and Rhyn was a loose cannon as a leader for the Immortals.
He couldn't help but feel envious of his friend, who wasn't trapped in a world where he didn't belong, fighting demons.
To do the same for disagreements about a delusional world inhabited by archangels, demons and imaginary friends is ludicrously tragic.

Thus, the Koreans go far beyond the Eskimo and number their demons by thousands of billions; they fill the chimney, the shed, the living-room, the kitchen, they are on every shelf and jar; in thousands they waylay the traveller as he leaves his home, beside him, behind him, dancing in front of him, whirring over his head, crying out upon him from air, earth and water.

In the Saite period a sort of standard edition was drawn up, consisting of 165 chapters in a fixed order and with a common title the book of going forth in the day; this recension was published by Lepsius in 1842 from a Turin papyrus Like the Pyramid texts, the Book of the Dead served a funerary purpose, but its contents are far more heterogeneous; besides chapters enabling the dead man to assume what shape he will, or to issue triumphant from the last judgment, there are lists of gates to be passed and demons to be encountered in the nether world, formulae such as are inscribed on sepulchral figures and amulets, and even hymns to the sun-god.
