The Sanctuary Rebuilt

The wounded man fell backwards trying to escape, he had been running so long. why had this stranger attacked him? why did he keep smiling? all these questions he wanted answers for but more importantly he wanted to get away from this maniac. suddenly the stranger appeared out of thin air with a popping sound. "why are running? I can end all your pain right now." the stranger said."who are you?" the man asked desperately. "my name is Grinny de'morte. I have come to claim a debt owed by your family to me over a century ago" the man suddenly remember a tale his grandmother used to tell him. The story starts with a war raging and people dying on the battlefield, a lone soldier runs off to a clearing and begins a ritual to summon a creature of darkness. this creature made an offer to the soldier, the creature would destroy the soldiers enemy at the cost of his families souls for the next two centuries. The soldier was shocked and didn't want this but a look at the battle told him his side was losing and if they lost the world would be in ruins, so the soldier made the deal. The deal was signed in blood but the soldier made a demand of his own, when the creature would collect the souls he would become mortal and able to die. This demand gave the soldiers family a chance to end the curse but no one was able do so. now the man knew he would die but he made one last attempt to save his family, he left a message for his family to find. The message said "my time is up dear ones but you can still be saved, search for the one eyed man. He will travel with a beast and a boy, darkness will follow in his wake. this man will be able to defeat Grinny de'morte but only after he knows it's name. know that I love you forever and eternity". once the message was finished he looked at Grinny and said "I am ready, take me but know this, you will be destroyed and it will happen before you take another soul from my family" at this grinny laughed a monsterous cackle. "fool, no mortal can kill me. not even a magic mortal has a chance. I am a demon from beneath time itself" and with that he lunged at bit the man into pieces. Grinny then walked off down the alley and disappeared with a pop, leaving a bloody mess for the local authorities to clean up. News of the murder spread and reached the HeadQuarters of the Sanctuary in scotland, they began searching into known criminals who used the same methods of killing but nothing turned up until one of the researches decided to look into myths and legends and found the demon known as Grinny.
