Before Time

The beginning

Description

Two overarching beings, brothers perhaps, oversaw parts of the universe, the difference like day and night. One of darkness and one of light: Haiti (first demon) and Ira (first angel). These brothers separate and create Heaven and Hell, two domains that reflect their creators' residences. One was a haven, while the other was a place of torture. Haiti gave birth to demons, beings of hatred, and manipulation. Ira created angels, creatures of purity.

These angels had pure souls to reflect their righteousness, while demons held broken souls, reflecting their hatred. Hatred against Ira grew in Haiti. He believed his brother and his haven of the pure was inferior. Ira did not deserve Heaven.

Haiti kept his peace, and his hatred grew each day as he matured into the devil. He crafted a companion species mixed with demons and canine-like creations to make a hellhound. Ira’s second-best creation, Earth, was the last straw for Haiti.

Ira created fantastical creatures, but once he declared he wanted to create complex life, Haiti was off the deep end. The angels politely begged Haiti to recall his demons from Earth, of which they walked. He refused. An argument broke between Ira’s angels and Haiti’s demons. It turned into a holy war, Haiti V.S Ira. During the war, Haiti murdered Ira. The battle came to a quiet standstill.

The First Clairvoyant

Description

The first clairvoyant human was born in what is now Rome. This child's birth was exceptional, as the angels knew great things were destined for this child. They gave him the gift of clairvoyance, also known as second sight. This was an act of vengeance against Haiti, killing their leader. This allowed the boy to see through the supernatural human disguises of the supernaturals, plunging this human into the inhuman world. The child is known as “The boy who cried demon!” for him being the first to see demons for what they truly are. The demons became enraged at the angels, as for now, they couldn’t enthrall humans.

Other clairvoyants were born, the angels giving the gift to humans who soon shall meet. After these humans meet, a history of witch, demon, and werewolf hunting ensued.

Julian Rowland

Description

On November 11, 1895, Julian Tobias Rowland was born into a noble British witch family called the Rowlands. He was the eldest of two siblings, Maryse and Dexter. When he was little, he practiced magic with his father six hours a day. At 5 years old, the melanin in his hair disappeared, turning it slightly silver. By 7, his hair was completely silver. When Julian was 14, his mother drowned while saving his brother. Like the rest of the family, he was broken. He had a magic outburst that almost injured his father. His father sat him down to talk about how emotions control magic and that nothing was his fault. Julian took the step-up in his family and took care of his siblings. He helped them learn magic. It is when his attentive and tending nature kicked in. When he was 16, he learned medicine, or rather the white arts. It took him 7 years to master it before becoming a white witch.

Skip forward to 1916, when a demon attacked his siblings. He came to the rescue, scaring the demon back to hell. The demon severely injured his brother and, in his efforts, found out his brother had an injury to his occipital lobe. Julian could not heal his severe brain injury. His brother Dexter could no longer be independent. Dexter had lost cognitive function. Julian took care of his brother for a few months before meeting a young man drafted to fight in WWI.

James Blackwood

Description

In March 1896, James Blackwood was born. Neither of his parents possessed the second sight, so it was a wonder how he held that power. He had not one by his side; no one was interested in his sightings. During his sixth-grade year, James’ parents made the choice to send him to Silverwater Christian Boarding School Of Troubled Youth. They hoped it would help James stop the talk of demons, angels, and witches. During his stay at his new school, he met a group called the clairvoyant

While at his new school, he met a group who called themselves clairvoyant. James met his best friend, Amara Flowers. He also bonded with Bernard Williams and Levi Afton. Both Amara and James led the group, investigating things out of the ordinary.

During James’ eleventh school year in 1913, he recognized his headmaster as a demon. He observed him summoning kids, and they never returned. James worked on information day and night. He visited churches and gave a proposition to his group. They should infiltrate the headmaster’s office.

His friends liked this plan and snuck around the school to the headmaster’s lair. The group peered into the office from the door. The headmaster has finished his human lunch. His demons' horns, ears, and fangs showed. He caught wind of the kids and beckoned them into his office. Their headmaster tried to murder them, but James got in the way. James threw holy water, vanquishing the demon. He was injured. They sent James home along with other students, the headmaster never to be seen again.

1917

The Great War and the Home Front

Description

In 1917, America declared war, joining The Great War. Around May, the government started the draft. Unfortunately for James, he got drafted into the Navy. They placed him on the Jacob Jones, a destroyer ship. Jame wasn’t happy to be drafted and shipped overseas, but he didn’t have a choice. So on May 7, the ship sailed from the Boston port, arriving in Queenstown, Ireland, on May 17. Two months later, a ship called the Valetta got torpedoed by a German submarine. The ship James was on arrived at the scene, saving 44 survivors. James’ position wasn’t important to Jacob Jones, nor did he want to be there. Although, his wish to go home would be granted in five months.

In December, Jacob Jones helped escort a convoy to France with five other destroyers. A German U-boat spotted the ship, and on December 6th, 1917, the lookout spotted a torpedo headed for the starboard side. The idea of death, especially drowning, terrified James. However, he was ready to die serving his country. The torpedo struck the rudder, knocking out power, and made it impossible to send a distress signal as it sank. Life rafts and boats were deployed, and James climbed aboard after helping others. Despite his attempts to save his crewmates, the armed charges exploded, killing those who were not fortunate to escape. James was cold and injured. Trying to cope with the frigid winters of the Atlantic aboard a raft was impossible. It took until the next day, December 7, for rescue. The crew of HMS Cameilla spotted the group of men and brought them onboard.

After the onslaught sinking of Jacob Jones, James, and the others were sailed home. He was recognized for his actions but he was happy to be home again. He rejoiced with his old friend's group. Amara was helping with factory work and Levi got rejected because of severe hearing loss. However, their friend Bernard was still overseas.
