November 11th, 1491

Was traveling through a village and was told about a demonic monster they named Brunhilda.  Legend holds that this demon was once a mighty warrior that saved the village but a god came and demanded a sacrifice or it would destroy all the land.  Since this great warrior was unmarried and scared even the towns people with her power they tricked her in to a compromising position and killed her to appease a the god (which was a demon in disguise).  She came back as a demonic force and to get her revenge in the month of her death's anniversary she comes to the town and kidnaps young children and babies and eats them (Demons really like to kill children it must be something to do with their innocence).  The town was naive in their actions a long time ago but I hunted the demon.  She was huge, a bloody giant.  Her hands could easily close over my body and crush me.  I was able to create a small (well large) trap.  She entered the pentagram made of salt and other stones and herbs I had ground, it trapped her there long enough for me to do the exorcism.  It was successful.  Thank God she was slower, due to her size, than me.  I shudder to think how she would have killed me.

November 3rd, 1491

Heard a rumor... a hunter related to a werewolf without knowledge of it.... I laughed at that fact... then I felt bad for the Hunter to know one day soon that their loved one would die from their hand or another Hunter's hand

All Hallows Eve

What a way to spend my 19th birthday, ran into a damn pack of werewolves.  Almost didn't make it... I couldn't take turning into a werewolf, but after hours of fighting, I was exhausted and the five werewolves were dead.  I am bloody from head to toe, and all I want is a bath...

October 27th, 1491

Ran into a black dog... Its eyes glowed red...  It smiled at me and winked... I was shocked, I was paralyzed with fear... the devil himself is said to take the form of a black dog to make deals with the living... before I could even think of a way to destroy it was gone... so I found out this about them: YOU CANNOT DESTROY THEM!  You can do an excorsim but you can not kill them, and they always come back.  They are called upon when a person wants to make a deal with the devil himself, instead of an introverted demon.  Why would it cause me to freeze, why did it smile at me?  Why wink?

October 22nd, 1491

Ran into a group of Kosci.  They were eating a family... Male Kosci are called Koscima and the female is Koscama.  They are victims of drownings (mostly pirate ships that went down) they hunt families and dine on their internal organs as they drink the blood.  It took awhile and a chuck of my Blackthorn arrows (a lot harder to make by the way but Blackthron is the only thing that works on Kosci),  But I finally killed them all and burned the bodies.

MUST TRADE FOR MORE BLACKTHORN!! 

October 19th, 1491

Okay, seriously what is it with demons and witches?  Jigarkhwar, a daughter or son of a witch that sold its soul to the devil and a demon, they have the power to paralyze their victims with just a stare.  Once they are paralyzed they use dark magic to remove the liver and then it is shrunk to the size of a seed and it hides it in its calf until it needs to eat it.  Once it is ate the person can not be saved.  They are doomed to die.  If you find the Jigarkhawar you can cut open the calf and get the liver, and have the victim swallow it whole.  Then to kill the thing you have to bind her head with silver chains and Blackthorn thorns, and then you cut out the eyes and fill the sockets with salt, and then you hang her, and you leave her their for 40 days, then burn the body.  I am not waiting 40 days, found a priest that will watch the body and burn it for me.  Note to self: Must pick up a lot more salt...

October 13th, 1491

Ireland has a lot more stories, a lot more demons, I wonder why?  But today I had to deal with a leanhaum-shee it is a fairy of sorts, that seduces anybody who catches it's eye, and then drinks their victim's blood and eats the internal organs.  You have to trap it on hallowed ground, and bury it alive, staking it to the ground with silver stakes and Blackthorn thorns.  Tricking it into the church's graveyard was the tough thing, finally I found some bait... stupid drunk little man... he didn't die... anyways got the leanhaum-shee into the graveyard, fought it, got it into a grave, staked it, bound it with thorns and then buried it.

Incubus/ Succubus
Horrible creatures.  The Incubus is male and forces itself upon women, subjecting them to night terrors, and of course they try to impregnate them.  They love preying on nuns, or other religious women.  Ran into to one at a nunnery.  Poor nuns frightened out of their minds.  Three had already been impregnated with demon spawn.  They hope the children will give into their human side as adults, instead of the demon within them (I have a feeling I should come back here in about twenty years, or let the owner of the local Hunter's Bar know, I won't kill a nun and an unborn, I still have a bit of a conscious).  Anyways Incubus shows up in the human form the female finds attractive, so I slept at the nunnery and hoped to kill it.  And it showed up, it took a bit of will power to remember it was a demon, the icy blue eyes and the dark hair, it would have been so easy to give in... but instead I staked it, and then cut off its head.  Then of course burned it and buried the ashes.

Today Hugo would have been 15...

October 1st, 1491

I am moved north, and last night as I crossed a cemetery (rumors of vampires), I had heard screams, a woman was being dragged into the ground next to at stone.  I ran to help, able to save her, as the creature let go when I stabbed his arm with a silver knife. I walked with her out of the cemetery, she was mumbling that she could not believe her Henry would be a Haugbui.  I went to the local Hunter's Bar and found a Haugbui is a dead body processed by a demon, that will drag all who comes near the grave of the body to their death, eating the body and drinking the blood.  So I went and dug up the bones of the person this morning, burned them, and then reburied them and placed huge stones over the grave... quick and crude, but hopefully it works.

Finally found the Hunter... I think he has been driven insane... He kept rambling about a demon who gave birth to a human, who shall be either the savior or the destroyer of the world...  He did tell me I would probably have to go to the end of the world to find the being.  I informed him that was my plan, until my dying breath the search won't end...  He said it wouldn't end with my dying breath, it would be only the beginning.... As I thought insane...

What the hell is a Eretica doing in Ireland????  I heard they were only in Northern Asia.  But I guess they can be anywhere, after all they were once women who sold their soul to the devil for something, and are curse upon death to come back and kill their family and their town.  They are only active between the spring equinox and the fall equinox, so it is coming up the deadline to permanently destroy it.  They use eye contact to stop their victim from fleeing.  Then they drain their life force.  They take their soul into them, and takes it back to hell upon returning on the night of the fall equinox.  Sadly the only way to destroy them is to send them back to hell.  You stake them with a Aspen stake then you burn them with herbs, oils and stones as you perform an exorcism.

Hit land.  Now to get to that Hunter.  But first had to deal with a Hag.  Ran right into her as she was stealing a child.  The ratty hair, shrinking skin, rotting sharp razor like teeth, her hooked nose (which had the largest wart I had ever seen on it) and her eyes were the worse.  they were white, clouded with death.  Of course I attacked.  She of course tried to kill me.  I left the battle with a few scratches, but the child is safe, and the hag, lost her head.  I burned the body with a mix of herbs and oils, and am now on my way to the Hunter who claims to know about my demon.

Herbs used: (I must make these notes to make sure I trade for what I need at the Hunter Bar's)

If I never have to deal with a swarm of Dybbuks again I will be the happiest person ever!  I was going through a town, and paid a few coins to stay a couple of nights, walking was getting to be a bit much with the distances I am traveling, but I getting on a boat to Ireland tonight, will be at the end of the month.  But back to the Dybbuks, I started to notice that people where acting strangely that I thought maybe a procession, but then the people started aging quickly, and dying, even young children looked old during the couple of days I stayed.  I tried to do a couple of exorcisms, they didn't work...  I was stumped...  I went to their local church and went through all the papers I could find... nothing... I went to the town over and ran into a Rabbi, he told me of the Dybbuks.  And how to destroy them.  He gave me a few amulets and some candles, told me to light them and talk the the main Dybbuk and get its name.  Once I did that I could destroy it.  So I did as I was told, I called to the demon, asked it who it was, it was quite talkative, it knew a lot about me, that worries me.  It told me that plans for my existence were set in stone before I ever picked up my knife to hunt the darkness that itself lives within me.  I got defensive.  It left, so I called it back.  It told me not to worry about the darkness, everything has it, I just have a purer form.  It told me to seek the truth, it told me when I found out the truth, that then my fate would be reveled.  I let it take, it finally told me it was a child of Lilith.  Its name was Pazuzu.  I used the name and followed a Jewish exorcism.  With my final words, it yelled out that one day my soul will pay for the destruction I caused to my own kind.  It then left the human, and all around town its children followed, and back to hell they went.  I wonder what it meant by the destruction I would cause my own kind.  Does he speak of the humans I couldn't save? 

August 16th, 1491

Went to a local bar, they were looking for other Hunters to help them hunt a ogre.  I agreed to go along.  Ogres are giants.  They love to party, it seems, they take women to have orgies, then they kill the women, drink their blood and eat their flesh.  There were six ogres, and it took all nine of us to bring them down, and cut their heads off.  Then of course we burned their bodies.  We went back to the bar, and the trading and drinking began.... Orges are ugly...  They have yellow eyes (three of them) they have four fingers on each hand, two toes on each foot, and no hair on their head but it appeared to be everywhere else.  They had razor sharp teeth, and bodies as think as a few ancient trees.  Even with our sharped axes and swords it took forever to get the head off the Orges' shoulders.  I hope it is a long long time before I deal with them again.

August 10th, 1491

Ran into a bunch of Doppelsugers, damned children.  It saddens me, but Doppelsugers are created when a young child is smothered by a parent.  They are children that come back from the dead to kill and eat their family.  They start with the parent that killed them, and then they work through the family, after that they will attach any human.  To see a body of one killed by a Doppelsuger is kind of gross.  They are torn apart, nothing left really on the inside, just bones and skin and hair.  To destroy them is horrible, they look so much like innocent children, but they are not.  You do an exorcism, stake the body with a Hawthorne stake, and then place 2 silver coins upon the eyes, then throw in your mix of herbs and oils, and burn the body.

I used:
Salt (my favorite, or at least the cheapest)
Thistle
Vervain
Scullcap
Copal
Tobacco
Bloodroot

August 7th, 1491

Finally found a Hunter's Bar, going to spend a few days need to stock up on supplies.

August 5th, 1491

Was going through France, heard of  hunting.  The ghost was Gilles De Rais.  He is said to have murdered boys, in fact he was tortured until he confessed, then executed, many say he was innocent.  They say he was unjustly killed, they said because he, umm... preferred the company of males, and didn't believe in God, he was targeted and killed.  I don't care.  He was hunting down and killing the families of those that put him to death.  If he didn't kill back in 40, he was now.  So I went and found his bones (did I mention I really hate that part?) threw in Anise, Hyssop, Peppermint, Yucca, Holy Thistle, Devil's Bit and Clove, along with a few stones (salt (of course) Calcite, Aquamarine (pained me to do but didn't have much else with me, I haven't been to a Hunter's Bar for about a week, and these routine hauntings kill my supplies), Coal, and Jasper).  Then set them on fire, and then of course made sure the ashes were buried.  Love these routine hauntings, have to get to a Hunter's Bar... Should be able to get to Ireland by end of month.

July 30th, 1491

Ran in to a Rakshasa, and after a few days of research went and destroyed it.
Rakshasas generally attack women and children, but loved to process men and drive them mad.  They are form kings or leaders, or someone with power at one time.  T Hey are grotesque, they have orange fiery eyes, a large tongue that hangs from its mouth (normally bleeding as their razor sharp teeth bite down on it)  They are full of coarse body hair, and have potbellies, have horns and either have 1 arm and 3 legs or 3 arms and 1 leg.  They love wearing wreaths made of the entrails of the victims.  They can either become invisible, but love turning into animals, most common is a black dog, but will turn into owls or vultures.  They will kill their victim, drink their blood, let the body rot for a few days, then from the skull eat the rotting brain, and then the skin, and finally the decayed muscles.  To get rid of them you must burn herbs, do a chant, then dig up the body and burn it then bury the ashes, placing a large stone on the burial spot.

Herbs needed to burn:

Snapdragon
Peony
Sunflower
Milk Thistle
Basil
Garlic
Dragon's Blood (super rare had to trade 4 knives and  2 dozen arrows for 5 sticks)

July 21st, 1491

More and more activity... I was passing through another town, I tend to stay on the move, only stopping when I am near a Hunter's Bar.    There are rumors of men being killed in a village nearby... I went to investigate, and after talking to the locals I discovered it was a Churel.  They are created when a young woman dies, either by murder, suicide, accident or while she is pregnant.  They come back and kill men only, draining them of all their bodily fluids.  They look human but they have razor sharp teeth, blood red eyes, and their feet are backwards.  To kill them is the standard cut off the head, burn them route, after you do that, you have to salt the grave and bury their ashes, with a mix of herbs.

I used fern, mint, garlic, onion, pepper, witch grass and myrrh.

July 17th, 1491

I was traveling to the next local Hunter's bar when something attacked me... It was a Bajang.  Which means another human controlling a damned being.  I cut the thing's head off, and set it on fire.  But another 10 came out of nowhere.  I jumped up into the trees.  I was able to hide from from.  I followed them back to a local castle.  I researched them, thankfully there was a local witch that had some information, made sure she was a being of good, thankfully holy water works on dark witches as well.  Bajangs are created from a witch or warlock using the soul and body of a stillborn child.  That information makes my blood boil.  I saw red.  These Bajangs kill for their masters.  They are fed a mix of human blood, eggs and milk.  They attack women, draining them of their blood, they they go and eat their mix and then fall into a specially built chest where they sleep until nightfall to attack again.  To destroy them you have catch the bloody warlock and make them destroy it.  To put that warlock under your control you use a mix of herbs and oils boil them down and then dip a iron blade into the mix.  With that you slice the warlock and then you control him, and cause him to destroy the amulet that he created to control the Bajang.  The Bajang are then destroyed and you deal with the warlock.  I had the witch strip him of his magic.  I didn't kill him... maybe I should have.

The mix of herbs you need for Bajangs:
1 Whole Clover
3 Mint Leaves
1 Peach Pit
Handful of Mustard Seeds
3 Pine Cones
1 Lily Flower
1 Lotus Flower
3 Drops of Rosemary Oil
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Lavender Oil

Boil for 12 hours
Dip your pure Iron blade into mix.

July 7th, 1491

Zombies are horrible they of course are controled by something or someone.  I fought about a dozen of them (chopping off heads and shooting the things in the head or cutting off the limbs to get by them) they are rotting bodies they use to be people and an evil bastard wants an army and uses their poor bodies.  I have changed a lot, I did not hesitate to kill the warlock... of course he tried to kill me first... after he died the zombies fell back into their deaths and I burned everything, accept his book of shadows that will be added to my collection. There might be something useful in it to help me not have to kill to stop a witch or warlock...

July 5th, 1491

Hauntings are becoming to routine... I have learned so much in this last year... heard of zombies nearby going to check it out...

July 1st, 1491

Found the damned Banshee... That thing is hell on Earth, it was tough to kill... A Banshee is a evil fairy, or a evil spirit of a woman, they are created when a young woman dies in childbirth, so the young woman pissed that she didn't get to have her life with her baby becomes a dark entity.  She attaches herself to families, her goal to kill the young children, striking terror in their hearts, and of course drinking their blood, taking their life force.  To hear her cry will kill you, as it will explode your brain, as it is I am out of this battle with a bad nose bleed and huge migraine.  Don't know how I am alive...  It is a spirit that looks like woman, but her skin is so attached to the skull you can see the skull under the skin, in some places it looks like the skin has been torn away and all is left is bone.  To kill it is more grave digging... you find the body of the young woman who died, mix your thing of oils, herbs, and stones, and burn it... then you take the ashes and seal them in an airtight container never to be opened again.  I buried it about 6 feet deep, on hallowed ground.  Hopefully no fool ever opens it...

June 19th, 1491

Was passing through a small town, as I am trying to make my way to Ireland, there is a Hunter that is claiming he has information on the demon I am hunting; Anyway the town's priest recognized me as a Hunter and for help with a creature- a boogyman- he told me it had killed 5 children, it took them from their homes and then ate their brains and bone marrow; I told him I would take care of it; The boogymen come from the closets of their town ( rumor is the boogyman is a child that was abused and eventually killed by their parents and to prevent other children from suffering their fate it killed them and then ate the marrow and brains so it could live forever; Anyways they feast on the children for six months then it goes into hibranation for twenty five years; To kill them you have to preform a spell to trap it between worlds in their closet and then you cut off the head and limbs and drag the body parts to church ground then you douse it in holy water and holy oil then you burn it.  I was successful... priest tried to pay me I declined but accepted holy water, holy oils, and some scared bread all great for destroying demons.

While trading at the local Hunter's Bar heard something, someone says that there are Guardians.  Beings that protect the world forever, the never die, well they can be killed but they come back to life.  They were once mortals... some myth.... Beings of good...

June 11th, 1491

Trading at the bars have been a life line for me, heard some stories today about the first vampire, some say it was a woman, who wanted revenge for being sold into marriage, another states Abhartack who was an ancient Celtic warlord became the first vampire.  It is said he was small and deformed, and was a merciless tyrant, well the people had the ruler in the next country over kill him.  Well he did, and buried him standing up, but it said he came back from the dead and demanded bowls of blood, so the other ruler (Cathan) killed him and buried him again.  This continued for awhile until Cathan wen to a religious person and found he could not die, but could be held in place if stabbed with a sword made with of yew (must research yew more thought it was evil) and buried upside down, and surrounded Blackthorn and Hawthorne thorn bushes, they also placed a stake of Aspen into his chest, and a giant granite was placed of his burial spot, to this day it can be found seen, and strange things happen on that land.... I hope he never gets freed...

June 5th, 1491

Heard something at the bar today, black plaque caused by a demon, even when sent back to hell, it comes back, but weaker and weaker each time, research needed...
