"Oh there you are. Come in my friend...come closer so I can see you better." "Did you come to hear my stories? If you did, then come and sit with me by the fire. I assure you it's quite relaxing." "Now before I start, I have to tell you I know some very diverse kinds of stories; none of them are the typical ones you would hear in a kid's story book. Some are more supernatural, some are versed in magic. But some...some are actually based on real life and can be quite surprising if you can open your mind." "So now...let's start."

With lives hanging in the already slim balance, a decision is made. Who could have known that trying to save a city would put the country...maybe even the world...at risk? Will debts be repaid in time to return balance to their existance?

In a city accustomed to gang violence and militia skirmishes, something has gone terribly wrong. Events that most people would consider magical - dark magic - are taking place for unknown reasons. In some situations one simple action or decision can change everything.

When one is fated for death from the moment of birth, it can make life...difficult. Karmakat is a black lion, a death sentence in itself, because it means there is a demon sharing his soul. A monk passing through rescues the infant and magically seals the demon. Spending their lives training together, the young lion follows in his master's footsteps - until the master's death at the hands of a vicious demon. Striking out on his own, following what he believes to be his destiny, he fights the demons alone. Protecting others as his master protected him. One day he rescues a model - a playboy wolf named Lukwos - who befriends the lone fighter. Teaming up, the pair travel a dangerous road as the demons they fight become more vicious and abundant every day. Lukwos encourages Karmakat to find a life beyond demon fighting, beyond the solitary existence he has known since the master's death. Can he bring himself to put another life in danger, fighting the darkness and what lurks behind it?
