The Shadow Hunters

Hello, today I decided to share with you a story that curiously underwent several changes over the years. As a child, I was a big fan of Monica's Gang and Peanuts. To this day I have Monica's Gang comics and I've read several Peanuts comics at the school I studied, especially the comics from the first version of Peanuts (1950), which by the way is my favorite version.

At a certain point in my childhood, I had the idea of creating a cartoon when I'm adult, where this cartoon would be like Monica's Gang and Peanuts, only based on my life, where I would be the main protagonist. As I was a child and I was still starting to draw, obviously the drawings of the first versions of my story were very ugly, after all, I was a child and I didn't even know how to draw properly at the time.

From the first version to the 2018 version, all the characters were children and the intention was to be a children's cartoon, although there is a 2015 and 2016 version that was the opposite of that, where the drawings of this version presented extreme violence, gore and etc (my God! where was I thinking, since when is this for children?!). However, it was from the 2019 version that things started to change, because now the characters are teenagers and the intention is to be a cartoon for teenagers, probably for people over 12 or 14 years old.

The characters that were the protagonists of the first versions were characters based on real people, like myself who was the main protagonist (duhh), my brother, Alex (@alekizw), and my old friends who studied with me. However, it was from the 2015 and 2016 version that I started to create fictional characters, where some were also the protagonists, while the others were mere supporting characters.

When I created the first version of all, I didn't know what the name of the story would be, and as I was without creativity, I chose the simplest name of all, "Os Amigos", which in English translation means "The Friends", which curiously was the only thing that remained until the penultimate version of my story during its constant changes. In each version of my story, the characters had different appearance and visuals. But the version I want to share with you is the latest version, which is the version I created last year.

It all started in December 2022, where after I created the penultimate version of my story, I realized that that version is a shit LMFAO Yeah, the story was horrible and I soon realized that I would have to create a new version of the story that was a thousand times better.

But this new reboot would have to be the definitive version of the story, as I was tired of having to create a different reboot for the same story every time. Seriously, I couldn't take this anymore, having to redo the story from scratch, do a new drawing of the characters, etc.

One day, I was watching a video from a Brazillian channel called Vício Nerd about the most bizarre dubbing in the world. It was thanks to this video that I discovered an anime called Ghost Stories (2000-2001). The story of this anime was very interesting and what caught my attention the most was the fact that a ghost that was in the body of a cat was helping the protagonists in the fight against evil, even if reluctantly at first.

So I thought: Why not create a story about a group of teenagers hunting ghosts? I told my brother, Alex, about my new idea and he really liked the idea. However, in January 2023, my brother and I went to watch the series Supernatural (2005-2020) for the first time, where we started to marathon this series.

Man, this series is really good! The story is interesting, the characters are very good, the monsters and ghosts they hunt are very interesting and the villains so... It was an amazing series. I liked this series so much that I soon remembered my idea and thought: In addition to hunting ghosts, the protagonists could also hunt monsters, right?

When I told my brother this, he loved this new addition to the idea, because for him, the story wouldn't be so good if the characters only hunted ghosts. So my brother and I started creating this story together, where my brother suggested some ideas, but I developed most of the story myself.

Also, I decided to discard the idea of the protagonists being teenagers, because besides the fact that I had already created other stories about teenagers dividing their normal lives with their lives as heroes, it wouldn't make sense for teenagers still in high school to travel the entire country to hunt monsters and ghosts. So I came up with the idea of them being young adults who are in college, because since they are adults, it makes more sense for them to have the freedom to travel the country and hunt monsters and ghosts in their free time, just like it was in Supernatural.

To create this story, I was inspired by Supernatural, Ghost Stories, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (2001) and Goosebumps (2015).

To avoid making the story too repetitive, I had the idea of adding a monster or ghost of the week, just like that old horror TV series did. Like, at the end of each season, the protagonists would have to face an even greater threat, where this monster or ghost would be a kind of "main villain" or even the season's standout villain.

As in the first four seasons there wouldn't be a main story or main villains, since in the first seasons the protagonists would have to hunt all the monsters and ghosts and there isn't much to complain about because that's how it has to be, I got the idea from the last season have a main story and a main villain. This villain was even inspired by The Creeper from the Jeepers Creepers franchise and Pennywise from the It franchise.

After I created the story, I had to think of a name, because that old name, "The Friends", is rubbish. Then I remembered that two of the protagonists in my story are part of a lineage of Shadow Hunters, just like Edward Carnby in the game Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, so I thought: The story could very well be called The Shadow Hunters, right?

And no, I was not inspired by those books The Mortal Instruments and Shadowhunters (2016-2019), because my story is VERY different from the story of that books and that series and has a different proposal, where my story was created for a audience that loves horror films (that is, my story has death scenes, gore, etc.).

Furthermore, to get the idea that two of the five protagonists are part of a lineage of monster and ghost hunters known as Shadow Hunters, I was inspired by Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, which actually came out six years before the book series written by Cassandra Clare. So don't even think about accusing me of plagiarism >:(

No offense, but my story has more variety of monsters than these books LOL After I created the story with my brother, I decided not to do a new drawing of the story's protagonists, as drawing a group of characters is very tiring, as I have to draw, outline and paint the drawing and this makes my hands, fingers and neck hurt XD

As I no longer wanted to make a new drawing of the protagonists of my story, I decided to try to find someone who could draw them for me. On 08/03/2023, I asked @banenaz (also known as Banena The Sheep), a very talented and kind artist who has done a art for me before, if she could do a new art for me, which she accepted.

After many unforeseen events and 10 months of waiting, Banenaz finally managed to draw the protagonists of my story on the 7th of this month.

This art was really worth waiting for, because I really liked the final result, which is perfect! Seriously, the art is incredible, besides being beautiful and wonderful 🥰❤️ Just look at these neat details 😍 Thank you so much for drawing all my OCs for me, Banenaz 💖 If you want to see her amazing work, click here: https://www.tumblr.com/banenaz

The characters in the art are (from left to right): Claire Parker, Pedro Giovane, Alexander Junior, Alice Silveira and Azaloth (cat and dog).

To draw my persona (Pedro), the artist was inspired by the human version of Rocky Rickaby from the comic book Lackadaisy. Furthermore, to draw the book he is holding, she was inspired by Sarah Ravencroft's book from the film Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost (1999). To draw his girlfriend, Claire, the artist was inspired by Mary Jane Watson, as well as being inspired by an outfit that Ari (@ladybugkisses' Lackadaisy OC) wears.

To draw the persona of my brother (Alex), Banenaz was inspired by the actor Jack Champion. As for Alice, she was inspired by some random photos of black girls that I found on the internet for her to draw. And to draw the kittie version of Azaloth, Banenaz was inspired by Mordecai from the comic book Lackadaisy, while the doggie version was inspired by a Snoopy fanart made by gNAW.

In addition to the art made by Banenaz, I also have other art of my OCs.

In May of this year, I was looking for someone who could draw the 4 human protagonists of my horror story, The Shadow Hunters. Luckily, I had the great pleasure of meeting @divumreves, a super talented and very kind artist. Divumreves was accepting art requests and I soon asked to draw my OCs, which accepted.

The art is perfect! Seriously, I really loved the drawing, I really liked the final result! Just look at Claire, she looks so hot 😍 My persona (Pedro), besides being handsome, seems to be very brave and determined 😎 My brother's persona (Alex) is so cute 🥺 And Alice, just like Claire, is very beautiful 🥰 Thank you very much for making this drawing for me, I loved it so much 💖 This is definitely one of the best drawings I've ever received!

In May of this year, I was looking for someone who could draw one of the protagonists of my horror story, The Shadow Hunters. Luckily, an artist called @stargazer365 was still accepting art requests. She had already made a drawing for me, so I asked her if she could draw my OC, Azaloth, in the body of a cat and a dog, which she accepted.

To draw the cat version of Azaloth, she was inspired by Mordecai Heller from the comic book Lackadaisy (@lackadaisycats). Man, the drawing is amazing! Seriously, I really loved the cat version of Azaloth, he looks cute but evil at the same time XD

To draw the dog version of Azaloth, she was inspired by Snoopy from the comic Peanuts, more specifically the 1950s version, which is my favorite version, by the way. However, while Snoopy is a Beagle dog, the dog whose body Azaloth owned is a mutt, having the same size as a Dalmatian or even a Rottweiler.

Bro, he looks so beautiful and gorgeous aaaaaaaaaaaa 😍🥰❤️ Seriously, this doggie seems so kind yet threatening if someone hurts his friends. You managed to make him very imposing, making him a good dog who will do anything to protect someone he loves. I loved the drawing so much, thank you very much 💖 If you want to see her art, which is beautiful by the way, click here: https://www.tumblr.com/stargazer365

Well, now that you know the whole story behind my creation, below is the story of the current version of my old idea. Have a good read ^w^

Set in Brazil in 2012, the series revolves around Pedro and Alex, two brothers who have just moved to start a new life with their family. Eleven years ago, Pedro and Alex lost their little sister, Sophia, who died in a tragic car accident when they were children. Pedro is 20 years old, has Asperger's Syndrome – the mildest form of autism – and is the oldest brother, while Alex is the youngest brother, aged 19. Initially, after moving to the new city, Pedro and Alex had a lot of difficulty living in the new house, studying at college and making new friends.

However, their lives changed completely after they met Claire, a 20-year-old American girl who was rich and already lived in Brazil with her parents, as well as being Pedro's neighbor and student in his class. Despite being rich and living a luxurious life, Claire is not happy and has no interest in material goods, being a humble and good-natured girl. Pedro and Alex became friends with Claire, and she helped them make new friends and get to know the city and its inhabitants better.

Pedro and Alex, with Claire's help, became friends with their new neighbor who had also just moved in, Alice Silveira, a 19-year-old nerdy girl who dreams of being a writer and lives with her divorced father. However, Pedro and Alex's grandfather passed away at the age of 60, where he left them both a mysterious book, which should never be opened under any circumstances. One day, the two brothers ignored this warning and decided to open the book out of pure curiosity. However, upon opening it, the book ended up releasing several ghosts and monsters, which ended up spreading throughout the country.

Later they discover that their grandfather was actually a monster and ghost hunter, where one of his weapons was that old book, which was actually a magical book of sorcery that also served as a prison for those monsters and ghosts. Realizing the great responsibility they would have to deal with, Pedro and Alex, with the help of their friends, will have to travel across the country to capture all the monsters and ghosts that were inside the book before they hurt people. In addition to the magical book, they also began using improvised weapons that were made to exclusively fight monsters and ghosts, in which Pedro and Alex's uncle, Sergio, repairs some of these weapons.

During the course of the first season, the protagonists face various monsters and ghosts, including Werewolves, Vampires, Mermaids, Fairies, Demons, Ghouls/Zombies, Ogres, Doppelgängers, Wendigo (legendary creature from the USA and Canada that feeds on human flesh) , Amaroks (Giant wolves from Inuit mythology), Medusas (Creature from Greek mythology), Goblins, Vengeful Spirits, Evil Spirits and Supernatural Entities. Throughout the story, the different personalities of the protagonists are revealed, such as the fact that Pedro is a very nice, friendly guy but very impulsive and immature; Alex is kind, sincere, arrogant and quite cocky; Claire is humble, selfless, vain and ignorant and Alice is affectionate, brave, sarcastic and proud.

Furthermore, it was from this season onwards that Pedro and Alex began to see Sophia through hallucinations, where she blames them for her death, saying that they should have saved her from that monster. At the end of the season, the protagonists had to face an absurdly powerful ghost, who did not want to live imprisoned in that magical book again. They tried to defeat him using their improvised weapons which are weak against ghosts, such as a shotgun that shoots salt and iron chains. However, it was of no use, as their weapons did nothing against the villain other than tickle.

Because of this, the protagonists began to suspect him, believing that perhaps he is not exactly a ghost. After several efforts that almost resulted in their deaths, the protagonists finally manage to defeat him, as he, even though he was powerful, was still weakened and was recovering his powers all this time after leaving his prison. However, instead of trapping him in the book, the protagonists accidentally trapped the ghost in the body of Félix, a stray cat that was there.

The protagonists already knew it, where one of them played with that cat and fed it. Before the ghost can use his powers to kill them, the protagonists cast a spell on him, preventing him from using all of his powers. To prevent the ghost from leaving the cat's body, the protagonists manage to cast a powerful spell, ensuring that it remains trapped inside the cat's body forever.

After what happened, the ghost, now in the cat's body, and the protagonists make a deal: If he helps them capture all the ghosts and monsters, they will free him. In the second season, 1 year later, the protagonists are still trying to capture the monsters and ghosts to then imprison them in the magical book, with the help of the ghost, now nicknamed Félix due to the fact that he is trapped in the body of the cat of the same name.

This season, new monsters and ghosts appeared in the series, such as Bigfoot (legendary creature from the USA), Headless Horseman (Ghost from European folklore since the Middle Ages), Kuchisake-onna (Ghost from Japanese horror folklore), Jersey Devil (Legendary creature from the USA), Tiger Man/Catman (Mythological creature from various Eastern cultures, similar to the werewolf), Ahool (Legendary creature from the Java forest, originating in Indonesia) and Alraune (Legendary creature from Germany), in addition to the appearance of creatures from Brazilian folklore, they being the Saci, Headless Mule, Cuca, Corpo Seco, Bradador, Capelobo, Quibungo and Mapinguari.

Furthermore, it was from this season onwards that the protagonists also had to deal with many problems in their friendship. Throughout the season, even though he reluctantly helped them, Félix took great pleasure in seeing the protagonists in trouble, getting screwed at the hands of the monsters and ghosts they faced during the episodes. At certain times, Félix did not help the protagonists under any circumstances and saw the circus burn, but when the situation got worse, he helped them, even against his will.

At the end of the season, several hunters are mysteriously disappearing in the Amazon rainforest, leaving no trace. In that same forest, the protagonists and other students were on a college trip with teachers and forest rangers, where they went to learn everything about the animals, fauna, ecosystem, etc. In parallel to this, a group of people went to the forest in the hope of finding the missing hunters, who are their relatives.

However, both groups are attacked by Curupira, resulting in the death of some people from both groups. After being relentlessly pursued by the creature, both groups met and took refuge in an old cabin. Later, the protagonists, with the help of forest rangers and the hunters' relatives, tried to defeat Curupira. After a long battle, they manage to defeat him.

But when the protagonists were going to imprison him in the book, Curupira asked for mercy, saying that he was just trying to protect the forest from hunters, who are bad people. He explains that he attacked everyone because he believed they were a threat to the forest and the animals. Proof of this was that Curupira attacked the forest rangers and the group that was looking for for their relatives, as they were using firearms.

Furthermore, Curupira spared Pedro's life, and when he was cornered by the creature during the attack, he knelt down to pray, where upon seeing such a scene, he left him alone instead of killing him, in addition to the fact that one of the hunters' relatives killed an animal that attacked the group to defend himself and others, further increasing Curupira's fury, although he did not know that the group did not kill the animal out of pure evil, but rather out of legitimate defense.

Realizing that everything was a misunderstanding and that the forest and animals need to be protected from bad people, the protagonists spare Curupira, as he is not an evil creature like the other monsters and ghosts they faced previously. In the third season, 2 years after the events of the second season, the protagonists managed to capture half of the monsters and ghosts that were loose in the country.

However, Claire's mother passed away, where her cause of death was a severe brain aneurysm, much to the sadness of her daughter and husband. Furthermore, Félix ended up developing a feeling of protection for the protagonists, in which he gradually became their best friend during the course of the season. This season, the protagonists begin to evolve; Pedro is now more mature and is no longer a very impulsive person, Claire is no longer so vain and has stopped being ignorant, Alex is no longer arrogant and cocky and Alice is less proud and less debauched.

Throughout history, new monsters and ghosts emerged, including the Abominable Snowman/Yeti, Kelpie (Creature from Celtic mythology similar to the horse that haunts rivers and lakes in Scotland and Ireland), Strigoi (Creature from Romanian folklore, being a creature similar to the vampire), Iron Witch (Ghost from a Brazilian urban legend), Aswang (A generic term for 5 evil creatures originating in the Philippines that change shape through metamorphosis just like the werewolf, being the vampire, the viscera sucker, the Dog Man, the witch and the ghoul), Dobhar-chú (Creature from Irish folklore that resembles a giant otter), Emela-ntouka (Legendary African creature from the mythology of the Pygmy tribes, being resembling a herbivorous dinosaur), Loira do Banheiro (Ghost from a Brazilian urban legend) and Black Annis (Witch from English folklore).

In addition to facing new monsters and ghosts, Pedro and Claire began to fall in love, but both do not admit their feelings for each other. Throughout the season, the protagonists, except Pedro, had to face their personal problems; Alex had to deal with his Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD); Claire has excessive anxiety and is trying to control it and Alice has had to deal with racism from her boyfriend's mother.

In the Halloween special, the protagonists, with the help of some children, had to face Jack O'Lantern, also known as Samhain, a legendary ghost who gave rise to Halloween and Halloween pumpkins. Having been completely forgotten by people around the world, Jack plans to launch an attack on Halloween parties around the world in an attempt to be remembered by people again.

With that, he used his powers to make Halloween night last forever, in addition to controlling all the ghosts to order them to scare people as punishment for forgetting him. However, the only ghost that resisted Jack O'Lantern's control was Félix, much to the villain's chagrin. At the end of this special, Samhain is defeated, but is spared by the protagonists, believing that he can make people remember him without harming people, and that his intention was never to hurt people.

In the Christmas special, the protagonists had to stop Badalisc, a Christmas creature from Italian folklore who is making life hell for everyone in the city with his very bad pranks. However, at the end of the special, like Curupira and Samhain, he was also not imprisoned in the book, as he never harmed anyone and his intention was just to make fun of people.

In the final stretch of the season, several people are dying mysteriously, where some people were torn apart in an extremely violent way, while others were brutally beaten, having their bones broken and their eyes, jaw and tongue ripped out. The police believe that some wild animal is attacking people, as it is impossible for one person to have done all this barbarity. At one point, Alex's friend and schoolmate, Fábio, died mysteriously, in which his body was torn apart.

Suspecting his friend's strange death, Alex, with the help of Pedro, Claire, Alice and Félix, went to investigate what was happening. At one point, the protagonists received a mysterious link from an anonymous person. When clicking on the link, the protagonists accessed a website called Pesadelo.com.br, where they watched the site's videos out of pure curiosity. Much to their horror, the videos depict the extremely brutal rape and death of a woman.

Later, the protagonists discover that all the victims, including Fábio, before they died, had accessed the same website that they had previously visited. According to an urban legend, if someone accesses this website and watches all of its videos, the person will die within 24 hours. Coincidentally, all the victims died within 24 hours of watching those horrific videos.

Furthermore, according to Alice's police officer father, who is investigating the case, all the victims were acting very strangely, as if they were all seeing bizarre things around them, things that left them quite psychologically disturbed. Believing they have been cursed, the protagonists race against time in the hope of discovering a way to break the curse before they are killed within 24 hours.

At one point, they tried to save one of the college professors from being killed by the ghost, where they managed to trap it inside the book. However, to their great surprise, the ghost came out of the book and attacked the teacher, brutally tearing him apart in front of the protagonists. After this tragedy, the protagonists discover that it is impossible to trap ghosts that created a curse within that magical book, as the book only imprisons ghosts that do not have a curse.

They then realize that the only way to defeat the ghost is to break the curse. Throughout the story, the protagonists begin to have paranoia and many hallucinations, where most of them were apparitions of dead people, including Claire's mother, Alice's uncles and Pedro and Alex's little sister, Sophia, the latter of whom had died fourteen years ago. Initially, the protagonists believed that the only way to break the curse is to show the website and its videos to another person, making them die in the place of the person who accessed the website.

Following this possibility, Claire and Alice's friend, Júlia, who also visited the site and watched their videos, put it into practice. However, after showing the website to a friend, Júlia is attacked by the ghost, who brutally beats her and takes out her eyes, jaw and tongue, much to the horror of her little sister, who saw everything. After Júlia's sister tells everything that happened, the protagonists discard that possibility, as it implies that if the cursed person tries to cheat by showing the website and videos to someone, instead of someone dying in their place, the cursed person will be dead, having their 24 hours of life ended early.

Later, Félix managed to discover the ghost behind all this: A month ago, a woman with psychic abilities named Lindsay had been attacked by a group of men, who raped and killed her by brutally beating her, in addition to rip out her eyes, jaw and tongue. The murderers then dismembered her body, put it in a bag and threw it into the city river, preventing their crime from being discovered.

However, while she was being raped and murdered, Lindsay, using her psychic powers, recorded all that barbarity through projected thermography, creating the website's curse. Believing that the only way to break the curse is to avenge Lindsay's death, the protagonists went after the guys who raped and killed her, intending to attract the ghost to them and then take revenge for what they did to her.

While Pedro, Alex and Alice went looking for Lindsay's killers, Claire will be the bait that will attract the ghost to them, as her 24 hours of life are nearing the end as she was the first to access the website and watch the videos. To ensure her survival, Félix will protect her at all costs. Pedro, Alex and Alice manage to find Lindsay's killers, starting a chase.

In parallel to this, Lindsay's ghost appears and goes after Claire. Initially, everything was going well as planned, but to Claire's great surprise, the hallucinations intensified to a level that made her completely crazy, this being the work of the ghost in an attempt to corner her and then kill her. When Lindsay's ghost was about to kill Claire, Félix managed to save her in time, starting a fight between the two ghosts.

During the fight, Felix assumed his true form, much to Claire's surprise, as usually an individual who is being possessed by a ghost or demon does not transform into the ghost or demon's true form. Being quite powerful, "Mini Mordecai" easily defeated the ghost. After being defeated, Lindsay's ghost confronts Félix, questioning him about his real nature and what he really is, as he is too badass to be a ghost.

This further increased Claire's suspicions about Félix, as it is very likely that he is not actually a ghost. Upon realizing that it would be useless to try to beat Félix just to kill Claire, Lindsay's ghost spares her life and goes after the others. After a long frantic chase, Pedro, Alex and Alice manage to corner Lindsay's killers. At that moment, the ghost appears to kill the protagonists whose 24 hours of life have ended.

However, upon seeing her rapists and murderers, Lindsay's ghost killed them all, where the curse was finally broken for good. In the fourth season, 1 year later, the protagonists' duty to capture and trap all the monsters and ghosts inside the magical book is finally coming to an end, with the only thing left to do now is to capture the last remaining monsters and ghosts.

This season, Pedro and Claire confessed their feelings to each other, where they are both now dating. Furthermore, here we see the biggest change in the protagonists' personalities as they have now become more mature and everyone is learning from their mistakes. Throughout the season, the protagonists become more involved in their hunts for monsters and ghosts, in addition to showing significant advances in their lives.

It is also revealed that the protagonists are managing to resolve their personal problems, where Alex and Claire are managing to control their respective mental disorders and Alice, with the help of her police officer father and her mother-in-law, manages to save her boyfriend from loan sharks – who had been kidnapped by them because he owed money – causing his mother to open her mind towards black people, where she gradually stopped being racist during the course of the season.

During the season, in addition to the appearance of monsters and ghosts that they had already faced before, such as Werewolves, Vampires, Evil Spirits and Vengeful Spirits, new monsters and ghosts also appeared, such as the Kasai Rex (a legendary African creature that lived in the Kasai Valley in Congo, being similar to a carnivorous theropod dinosaur, more specifically an abelisaurus), Kongamato (African legendary creature, being similar to a pterosaur), Chupacabra (Legendary creature from the folklore of the Americas), People of Shadows (supernatural entities), Yōkai (Entities and supernatural creatures from Japanese folklore), Gator Man (Creature from New Jersey that has the appearance of an anthropomorphic alligator, originating in the USA), Yaoguai (Mythological demons from Chinese folklore) and Bloody Mary (Ghost from an urban legend, similar to the Loira do Banheiro).

Throughout the season, while facing monsters and ghosts with the help of their friends, Pedro and Claire are trying to deal with some problems in their relationship. This season, when confronted about his real nature, Félix finally revealed to the protagonists what he really is. Several centuries ago, more specifically in the Middle Ages/Medieval Era, a lovely and kind young man named Prince Adam would assume the throne, as his father, King Charles III, was very ill and on the verge of death.

However, Charles believes his son is unfit to rule, wanting his army general, Phillip, to succeed him. Upon learning of this, Adam was quite enraged, as he did not think it was fair for a man who is not even related to the king to take the throne. Determined to prove his worth and prevent Phillip from becoming the new king, Adam, upon discovering the existence of a divine angelic entity known as Ariel, who supposedly helps people solve all their problems, went to summon him.

Ariel agreed to help him under one condition: First he would have to free him from his prison, as he was very weakened and without his powers he could not help Adam. After following his orders by completing several steps, Adam finally manages to free Ariel from his prison, where that prison was destroyed forever. As promised, Ariel went to help him, but said he needed to merge with Adam's body to restore all of his divine powers.

By fusing, Adam and Ariel became one person, where Ariel is now part of Adam forever. However, Ariel was not just any angel, but an archangel called Azaloth, the legendary Angel of Death, that is, he deceived Adam all this time, much to the latter's great misfortune. Azaloth ruled the Underworld (also known as the Kingdom of the Dead), a place where the souls of the dead go to be judged before going to Paradise or Hell, where he was the head of the reapers, who went to get the souls of the people who died, as did several personifications of death created by humanity in films, books, series, cartoons, games, etc.

However, he was banished by the other angels and by God himself for defying the sacred rules, as he was quite bored and tired of ruling the Underworld, feeling that his life no longer made sense. His daily and monotonous tasks were so boring that they did not cheer him up, so he began to practice evil and absurdity as a means of entertainment, to the great chagrin of the other angels and God, who strongly repudiated his evil actions and attitudes, in which they created a sacred prison to imprison him forever.

During all this time imprisoned, Azaloth was losing his powers, where that prison was slowly weakening him over the years. Azaloth needed someone to free him, where that individual would destroy the prison created by God and the other angels to ensure his complete freedom. Furthermore, he needed to fuse with this individual to regain his full power.

After freeing himself, Azaloth, who had transformed into Adam, fulfilled what he promised him, killing Charles and Phillip, assuming the role of king. After several long years of a tyrannical and perverse reign, the inhabitants of the kingdom, who were against the king's cruelty, tried to remove him from power. The rebels then launched an attack on the king's palace, where after confronting all the guards, they finally went to confront the king face to face.

During the fight, one of the rebels manages to kill Adam by taking his head off with his sword. However, before they could celebrate their victory, King Adam was resurrected, revealing himself to be immortal, much to their surprise. He then assumed one of the dark forms of Azaloth and used his dark powers, killing everyone present except one of the rebels who had managed to escape the carnage. The other rebels tried various efforts to defeat the king but failed miserably, resulting in the deaths of several rebels.

Realizing that the king was very powerful and invincible, in a last ditch effort, the remaining rebels went to ask for help from a sorcerer known as Derkion. Using all his knowledge of magic, Derkion managed to create Darkhaven, a magical book whose function is to imprison any evil creature on this planet. The rebels manage to defeat Adam/Azaloth, trapping him inside the book. After Azaloth's defeat, a lineage of monster and ghost hunters known as Shadow Hunters emerged, whose mission was to capture all these evil beings and imprison them within Darkhaven.

A new Shadow Hunter appeared every 60 years in a leap year. Pedro and Alex's grandfather was the last Shadow Hunter and he had managed to trap all the monsters and ghosts that were left on the planet and by accident, the two brothers and their friends also ended up becoming Shadow Hunters, because like all monsters and ghosts had been imprisoned in Darkhaven and evil was contained, there wasn't supposed to be a new Shadow Hunter, but unfortunately the protagonists made the biggest mistake of their lives when they opened that book during the events of the first season.

Furthermore, Azaloth also reveals that the form he takes every time he fights monsters and ghosts is not his true form, as in addition to having the ability to take on various dark and frightening forms, his true form is literally the same true form of angels according to the bible. In the final stretch of the season, several people and animals are mysteriously disappearing, without leaving a trace. At one point, Pedro ended up disappearing too.

Upon learning this, Claire and the others went to try to find him. Later, they would discover that the person responsible for the people's disappearance is actually the Loch Ness Monster, a legendary creature from Scotland that resembles a dinosaur, more specifically a prehistoric marine reptile known as an Elasmosaurus. To make matters worse, Nessie (the monster's nickname), even though she was a female, had reproduced asexually, giving birth to several cubs that are equally dangerous and murderous as she is.

This explains why Nessie kidnapped several people and animals, as she wanted to feed her cubs, who had not yet learned to hunt, where most of the people and animals were devoured alive by the creatures. Luckily, Pedro and the other missing people managed to escape, where they took refuge by climbing trees in the forest for a few days, avoiding being caught by the cubs and their mother. Furthermore, half of Nessie's cubs have already grown into adults, where they are hunting and killing people, as well as reproducing at a rapid rate.

After finding Pedro and the others, the protagonists tried to stop the creatures from reproducing throughout the country and consequently, the entire world. At the end of the season, the protagonists manage to destroy all creatures, including Nessie, narrowly preventing the extinction of life on Earth. Furthermore, the protagonists finally managed to capture all the monsters and ghosts that had left Darkhaven, ridding the world of their threats. As they had promised, they released Azaloth into the cat's body, where he could finally enjoy his long-awaited freedom.

However, he stopped being a villain and swore to never again do evil as he did in the past, because thanks to the protagonists, he evolved, learned from his mistakes and achieved his redemption, becoming a good person. In the final season, 1 year after the events of the previous season, the protagonists are living a normal life, since they had previously imprisoned all the monsters and ghosts. In this season, Pedro and Claire are in their last year of college.

Also, as he is in his last year of college, Pedro will try to do everything he can to make his biggest dream come true: to become a film director and screenwriter. The problem is that due to his atypical mental and emotional condition, Pedro faces conflicts from his friends, college classmates and family, who see him as childish and unreliable, where the most critical are his parents, saying that he is not prepared to work, live alone and live his life without depending on them, as he does not understand anything about the outside world and its dangers, in addition to the fact that he has great difficulty expressing his own emotions and recognizing or understanding the feelings and intentions of others.

However, several children and teenagers are mysteriously disappearing in the city, much to the concern of citizens. According to the police, before they disappeared, all the victims were mentally disturbed, as if they were seeing their greatest fears having a life of their own. Furthermore, while sleeping, the victims had nightmares about their greatest fears, leaving them even more tormented. At one point, Alice's cousin, Lucas, was waiting for his mother to pick him up from school.

His mother actually showed up there to pick him up, but to his great surprise, his real mother had also shown up there. Upon being discovered, the fake mother kidnaps the boy, who takes him by pulling his hair with brute force while running quickly. The real mother tried to save her son, but it was too late, as her clone managed to escape with the boy flying into the sky with his big wings. After the incident, she told to authorities what happened.

Furthermore, she also revealed that weeks before, her son was very disturbed to the point of going crazy, as he said he dreamed of the Xenomorph (an alien monster from a famous horror film franchise in popular culture), as it was the biggest fear of her child. He also said that he saw it and was constantly chased by the fictional creature. However, no one believed her, despite the police realizing that this case is somehow linked to the other cases of children and teenagers who disappeared.

Despite this, the only person who believed her was Alice, who soon told her friends everything. At that moment, Pedro and Alex realize that they are dealing with the killer of their younger sister, Sophia, where the two brothers finally tell Claire and Alice the truth. In 2001, when they were still children, Pedro (who was 9 years old), Alex (who was 8 years old) and Sophia (who had turned 6 years old the previous month) stayed at home with the nanny, as their parents went out to to the city wholesaler that day.

Weeks before, Sophia was tormented because she was having nightmares about clowns, which were her biggest fear. Furthermore, she said that she saw these clowns and was chased by them, but her two brothers didn't believe her. That day, their nanny had disappeared after the 3 siblings went to play. When they went to look for the nanny, someone was knocking on the door. It was their parents, who had just arrived. When Alex and Sophia were about to open the door, Pedro went to answer the telephone, which was ringing at that moment.

To his great surprise, it was his parents who were on the phone, who had called to say that they would arrive in a few minutes. Realizing that it was not his parents who were knocking on the door, Pedro informed the others, who did not open the door. The individual outside, who was pretending to be their parents, broke down the locked door with brute force, revealing himself to be a humanoid monster. He attacks the kids, starting a relentless chase.

While being chased, Pedro, Alex and Sophia found the nanny, who had been killed by the creature, much to their horror. However, the monster manages to reach them and captures Sophia, taking her far away. Pedro and Alex told everything to their parents and the police, but no one believed them, except their grandfather. However, the police realized that this case is very similar to other cases of missing kids and teenagers, and the strange thing is that all these cases happen every 16 years, further increasing the possibility that all these disappearances are linked.

Furthermore, everyone in the city associates these disappearances with the legend of the Bag Man, as in addition to rumors about the kidnapper using a large bag to take children and teenagers away and that he kidnaps them to sell their organs on the black market, the parents tell about this legend and the disappearances to scare their children if they are too naughty or don't respect their parents and elders. Determined to avenge their sister's death, Pedro, Alex and the others went to summon Azaloth for help.

He agrees to help them defeat the monster, but says he needs a shell, as the cat he previously owned, Félix, is already dead. Claire offers Azaloth to possess her body, but Pedro is strongly against the idea, saying that Azaloth cannot possess someone, as that person can have a family and will be greatly missed by the people who love them, in addition to the fact that that person can die due to the various mortal wounds they will suffer when is possessed, since if the person is shot in the heart, for example, the body will die.

The person will still be alive because of the entity that is possessing them, but that does not change the fact that they are already dead. Pedro is also against the idea of Azaloth possessing the body of a pet, because just like a person, the animal will also be greatly missed by its owners, who love it very much. Azaloth then suggests that the receptacle be a street animal just like its previous shell, because unlike a pet, it will not be missed by anyone, as it has no owner and no one cares about it.

Without a choice, the protagonists agree to the idea and Azaloth then possesses the body of a street dog. At that moment, Azaloth gained a new nickname, in which he began to be called Snoopy, as he looked very similar to the dog with the same name from the comic book Peanuts. When they remember that their grandfather believed in them after Sophia's disappearance, Pedro, Alex and the other protagonists find his notes in the hope of discovering something about the monster they are facing.

Back when he was a Shadow Hunter, Pedro and Alex's grandfather had a book that contained notes of all the monsters he and the other hunters trapped in Darkhaven. Pedro, Alex and the others find the last notes from the two brothers' grandfather, which were in fact notes about the kidnapper of Sophie and the other kids and teenagers. It is revealed that Pedro and Alex's grandfather began investigating the disappearance of Sophia and the other children and teenagers.

He stalked the monster, following its footsteps, in which he discovered basic information about it, such as its abilities, powers, etc. The creature takes on a human form to serve as a disguise as he is among people. He looks for people to feed on, where a part of their bodies will become part of him. However, he does not choose his victims randomly, being very careful when choosing.

To do this, he uses his victim's fear. But it is not enough to be afraid to be chosen, because in addition to fear, the person needs to have something that he likes, that is, even if someone is trembling with fear, if that person has nothing that pleases him, he will not attack them. Fear helps to exhale the smell of the victim's body or organs. When fear releases this smell, the monster feels it and analyzes whether it likes it or not, just like when a person smells food to see if it pleases them, since the smell has a relationship with the flavor.

When choosing his victims, he takes the form of his victims' greatest fears. It feeds only on children and teenagers, as the fears of a child and teenager are easier to take a physical form and consequently scare them easily (such as the irrational fear of clowns, ghosts, demons, werewolves, vampires, aliens, etc., in addition to the irrational fear of some animals such as snakes and lions), unlike adults, who are afraid of more formless things, such as bankruptcy, loneliness, what comes after death, etc.

The monster has the ability to invade the minds of its victims, where it discovers their fears, taking the form of whatever scares them most. So he scares his victims through dreams and hallucinations with the aim of making them even more vulnerable, tormenting them to the point of driving them crazy. Scaring them before devouring them is equivalent to "seasoning the meat", that is, he scares his victims to make what he likes, whether the body or the organs, even tastier.

After his victims become weakened and mentally unstable, he takes the form of the people closest to them and then captures them, such as their father, mother, brother or sister, one of their best friends, boyfriend or girlfriend, etc., in addition to being able to imitate their voice, becoming the perfect clone of someone closer to his victim. In addition to metamorphosis, his powers and abilities are: Super strength, super speed, highly heightened senses, large wings for flying, telekinesis, teleportation and superhuman resistance.

It is also revealed that the creature is very old, because after collecting DNA samples from the monster, Pedro and Alex's grandfather took it to an old friend who is a scientist to analyze the samples, where they discovered that the DNA is from a creature unknown to humanity until today, who lived 8 million years ago. Because of this, he believed that the monster is some kind of demon that has been on Earth for a long time, nicknaming him Beelzebub. The two brothers' grandfather discovered Beelzebub's secret hiding place and went to kill him personally.

The protagonists deduce that before he could surprise attack him, he had a heart attack, dying instantly. Furthermore, it is likely that Beelzebub burned down his entire hiding place, destroying any potential evidence of his crimes, as he had been discovered by the old hunter. This would explain why the grandfather of the two brothers was found in a burning place by people passing by, getting him out in time.

They then come up with a plan to defeat the monster in an abandoned port that night, where they will use Pedro and Alex's friend, Guilherme, as bait, as he is the next victim chosen by the villain. In fact, they manage to lure Beelzebub into the trap, but it goes wrong, starting a battle against him. The protagonists tried to kill him using weapons against demons, but failed miserably, as the creature is not a demon, much to their surprise.

To make matters worse, he managed to control Snoopy's mind, who followed his orders. Even though they know they will never be able to defeat him because he is an angel, the protagonists fought against Snoopy, who defeats them very easily. Not wanting to give up, the protagonists continued fighting against him, where after several efforts during the battle, even though they were defeated again, they managed to free him from Beelzebub's mental control by reciting an unbreakable spell that not only saved him but also prevents him from being mentally controlled again.

Snoopy then went to fight Beelzebub and spanks him by taking on one of his various forms and using all his dark powers. After Beelzebub takes a huge beating and is seriously injured, before Snoopy can kill him, much to his surprise, Beelzebub has the ability to regenerate very quickly, completely healing his injuries. He then used his mind power to move several containers towards Snoopy in order to delaying him.

The other protagonists try to stop him, but he teleports several times and at the same time spanks them, in addition to capturing Guilherme and flying into the starry sky, taking him far away. In the final stretch of the season, the protagonists, with the help of Snoopy, manage to locate Beelzebub's new hiding place, which is an abandoned factory. Furthermore, they discover that they are on the last day of hunting the monster, as it will soon go into hibernation and will only attack again for the next sixteen years, this being their last chance to try to defeat it.

When they got there being teleported by Snoopy, they arrived just in time, as Beelzebub had returned from his hunt, bringing with him yet another victim he had just killed. At that moment, he reveals his real origin and what he really is. He is actually an alien creature, created as a biological weapon by an extraterrestrial civilization with the purpose of exterminating life on entire worlds so they could be colonized.

However, after awakening from a long deep sleep, he developed self-awareness and free will, where he refused to continue with his creators' plan, preferring to live among humans. His creators then visited Earth with the intention of eliminating him personally, bringing they entire army. However, to their great surprise, he proved to be very powerful, killing all of his creators.

Despite being able to live without food for an indefinite period of time, he ended up developing a taste for human flesh, beginning his hunt for humans over the years, hunting them every 16 years. He already knew about the existence of the Shadow Hunters and because of that, he managed to stay off their map for many years, where these hunters never knew of his existence. Realizing that he is a much worse threat than imagined, the protagonists tried to defeat him, starting the final battle.

Initially, the alien creature gained a lot of advantage, as he took the form of the protagonists' greatest fears (except Snoopy), weakening them and leaving them mentally disturbed. Snoopy then encourages them not to be afraid, as apparently the villain's greatest weakness is for his victims to stop being afraid of him. Following this advice, the protagonists are gradually able to face their greatest fears, much to the villain's surprise.

After losing their fear, the protagonists regroup and realize they can stop the alien monster by exploiting the subjection of having a physical form and their perception of it. Their provocation weakens him, defeating him. However, the creature had an ace up its sleeve, because even though the protagonists were no longer afraid of him, he knew that they had another greater fear that didn't exactly have a physical form: Losing each other. He then attacks all the protagonists by surprise, brutally killing them one by one.

After killing all the protagonists in the worst possible ways, the monster went to fight Snoopy, who takes on one of his various dark forms. And so began a long and epic bloody battle between the two most powerful beings on the planet, a very fierce fight. After a long battle that seemed to have no end, even though they were completely exhausted and seriously injured, Snoopy and Beelzebub dealt their respective final blows against each other, resulting in a huge explosion that caused an earthquake of an absurdly high magnitude, devastating the entire planet, almost destroying the Earth and the life on it.

After the fight that almost destroyed the entire planet, Snoopy and Beelzebub were very tired and totally injured, where they could barely stand up, as they were lying on top of the crater caused by the explosion committed by them. Snoopy, who had reverted to the dog form he was possessing, assumed one of his dark forms again, slowly regained his strength and ran towards his enemy, brutally beating him.

The alien tried to defend himself, but Snoopy stopped him, continuing to beat him without stopping. After beating him up, Snoopy rips out the creature's heart, killing him. However, much to his chagrin, the monster was still alive, revealing to be immortal just like him. Realizing that it would be impossible to kill him, Snoopy imprisons him inside Darkhaven, finally defeating him. Despite having managed to defeat the villain, Azaloth is extremely sad for having lost his best friends.

However, Azaloth has the idea of resurrecting them, but remembers that due to his dark powers, if someone comes back to life, that person will not be the same person as before, having quite disturbing behavior, becoming an evil and murderous undead (just like in the book Pet Sematary, by Stephen King). The chances of someone being resurrected and becoming the same person they were when they were alive are one in a million.

Even knowing this, Azaloth decided to take a risk to try to bring his friends back using his powers. To his great luck, Azaloth manages to bring them back to the way they were before they died. At the end of the season, now that all the monsters and ghosts are trapped in Darkhaven and the evil has been contained, the protagonists decide to burn the book, forever destroying all the monsters and ghosts they had previously faced.

10 years later, Pedro, Claire, Alex and Alice have finished college and are working, where Pedro, Alex and Alice have finally achieved their biggest dreams, respectively. Pedro is now a world-famous film director and screenwriter, Alex is an award-winning actor, Alice is a critically and publicly acclaimed writer and Claire is the owner and CEO of her father's company, who had passed away, leaving his inheritance to her.

Pedro and Claire got married and are living together, where they had 3 children, in which Pedro has finally been able to prove his worth to his parents, friends, family and college colleagues. In addition, Alice and her boyfriend are planning to get married so they can start a beautiful family, which they have the approval of Alice's mother-in-law, who has stopped being racist. Meanwhile, Azaloth is enjoying his freedom.

Well, I hope you liked the story I created with my brother and the arts 😊
