A Shiver down the frozen stiff spine

A wave of fear cresting and cascading 

All animals lie still, Fear frozen

A Shadow so dark, no light could banish it.

This Shadow so black,

Hungry to be sated with flowing life blood

A insatiable need for battle

This Shadow left no prints, no trace of existence.

Among barren trees, no sound could be heard

Yet the Shadow was there,

And the Shadow  left no trace on Time or History

The Shadow lay still waiting to carry out it's duty.

The loose dirt showed the faintest print

A faint scent, a heady mix of Hell's Bells, Sulfur, Sandalwood and a unknown intoxicating Musk

Overlaid on the ground a searing mist 

As a wind blows and the Mist parts, a single paw print is revealed

Burned into the ground.

A little girl walked among the tombstones

And She suddenly stops, feeling malevolent eyes upon her

A sound among the barren graveyard showed signs of a living creature

Yet none was there.

Then suddenly she see's the eyes watching her

Those eyes glow red, as if forged from the fire's of Hell 

These eyes surely belong to a demon

For no living normal creatur, be it animal or human,

Has eyes as cold as the ones that gazed upon the little girl.

Out from the shadows it appeared, a large and black hound. The little girl trembled in fear, and yet still she calls for it.

"Here puppy"

The hound shook, as if it was laughing at the little girl. The hound's shaking increased til it's mouth opened, and a unsettingly similar human like laugh came out.

The hound drew closer and the little girl stuck out a single, tiny tan hand towards it. 

The hound's head brushed against her hand and the little girl crumbled to the ground. The hound sat on it's haunches and slowly morphed into a tall and dark man. The man looked down and smiled before picking the little girl up.

"Dear child, you will be his salvation."

With those words the little girl and the man vanished.
