Practitioners of ceremonial magic would often attempt to call, constrain, and command demons to do their bidding. They deployed them in order to obtain their goals, whatever those goals might be. Lesser demons could be commanded and used by the summoner, but higher-level demons were not.

When regarded as spirits, they could be human or nonhuman, separable souls, or discarnate spirits which have never inhabited a body.

Nearly every religion and region held some belief in demons, and though they differed somewhat, the basic premise was the same.

Denny stood up and stretched before she flipped her mother’s journal open again.

The things her mild-mannered mother had done, the places she’d gone, were unbelievable, and Denny realized she really hadn’t known her mother. It was disheartening to know the life she thought they had, the childhood she thought was hers, wasn’t. Nothing was as she had thought and her heart hurt for it.

Skipping to the entries made when she was about eight years old, Denny read:

It is evident that the legacy skipped over my first two children and straight to Golden. I should have known––should have suspected as much. She is the third, a powerful number. I am not surprised. She has always been the most spiritually sensitive, even when she was a toddler. She sees the spirit in the house––Rushalyn Holbrook, but does not appear afraid of her. She is harmless, that ghost. She watches the children, mostly Golden, who wants to interact with her, but for some reason, Rush won’t.

Golden saw spirits in California, but she does not remember. I will have to keep a closer eye on her. Should anything happen to me, I am unsure whether or not she would take the mantel. She has so much to offer the world, such big dreams. I’d hate to see her give up her plans to pick up the fight, but she may not have a choice.

My poor baby. There is nothing I can do now except teach her all I know when she is of age.

I sought council for it, for how best to help her when the time comes–– when the legacy continues, in order to help her deal with it. I will have to train her before I become too old to remember.

Too old.

Some days, I feel like they’ll be grown before I can stop them. I wonder endlessly when I’ll be able to tell them about the legacy and their role. Not everyone has what it takes or the desire to embrace a path created for us centuries ago.

To be honest, I’m not even sure where to begin.

Before Denny could read more, her phone vibrated with a text from Lauren. Call me when you’re awake.

Denny dialed Lauren’s cell number. “I’m awake. What’s up?”

“Your Mike Cockerton is a ghost.”

Denny sat straight up. “A what?”

“Well, not a ghost like Rush. What I mean is he’s non-existent. No social security number, no birth records...hell, I can’t even find his parents’ names. It’s like––”

“He sprang up out of nowhere. Yeah. That was my greatest fear––he is here when he shouldn’t be.
