Crossroad Demon (ˈkrɔsˌroʊd ˈdimən)

Content Warning: Blood & Gore.

Blood poured out sluggishly from the visceral cavity that had been torn out of his side. The hounds that had been hunting him had finally made their move only to tear chunks out of him and leave him to die alone. The once indescribable pain that drove out any thoughts had gone numb and in its place the young Phyrian could only mentally beg for this to not be happening. The only thing he wanted in this world was to see his family one last time before the end. And that is exactly what He of Nowhere offered him as he leaned down to help the dying to his feet.

Introduction

Part species, part natural phenomonon the Crossroad Demon is an entity capable of making the impossible possible but always at a price. Their origin has been shroaded in misinformation and half-truths supplied by the demons themselves. Each one is as a varied as the Sophonts they prey upon with their physical forms crafted to represent their unique personality. One thing that remains constant is their ability to speak directly to your wants or needs, a constant nagging on your sanity that has broken down even the strongest wills.
