The Rain King

⚠️Chapters 1-5 are getting complete rewrites soon. I won't write Chapter 6 until the rewrites are done⚠️ Alan is a 25-year-old exorcist with powerful psychic abilities, thanks to a pact his family ancestors made with the God of Rain. He lives in Edinburgh with his girlfriend, Lily, but is called to the remote Scottish village of Glenmoor to exorcise the demons that have been haunting the villagers for centuries. The demons are growing in strength, and the villagers are at their wits' end. As Alan arrives in Glenmoor, he learns more about the village's history and the superstitious beliefs that have allowed the demons to thrive for so long. He also confronts his past trauma, which he has been trying to escape by keeping himself busy with his work. With the help of his special blue umbrella, which amplifies his powers, Alan sets out to confront the demons. However, as he delves deeper into the exorcism, he realizes that he must also confront his demons, both figuratively and literally. His narcissistic personality and powerful psychic abilities have shielded him from his past trauma for too long, and he must learn to face it head-on if he is to succeed in banishing the demons from Glenmoor. As Alan battles the demons, he must also grapple with his inner turmoil and the impact it has on his relationship with Lily. Can he confront his past trauma and banish the demons from Glenmoor, or will he be consumed by his darkness? ⚠️THE COVER IS NOT MINE⚠️

Chapter 5

I wake up in my humble inn room and drag myself to the bathroom to splash some cold water on my face. As I stare at my reflection in the mirror, I can't help but notice how my dark hair and eyes contrast against my pale skin, making me look like a shadowy figure. It's a look that suits my profession as an exorcist well. Suddenly, my phone rings, and it's Lily on the other end.

"Hey, Lily," I answer, trying to sound cheerful. "How are you?"

"Why did you leave without telling me?" Lily's voice sounds upset. "You could have at least said a proper goodbye."

"I'm sorry, I had to leave quickly for work," I reply, trying to hide the real reason behind my trip to the Scottish Highlands. "It's a long story."

"You're always busy with work," Lily says in a teasing tone. "I miss you."

"I miss you too," I say, my voice tinged with melancholy. "I'll make it up to you when I'm back."

As we chat, I can't help but think back to how we met. It was at a coffee shop in the city, where she spilled her latte all over my shirt. She was so apologetic that I couldn't help but smile. We hit it off immediately and started dating soon after. Lily is the one person who truly understands me and accepts me for who I am. I don't know what I would do without her in my life.

After we hang up, I take a deep breath and try to shake off the feeling of longing. I have a job to do, and I can't let my emotions get in the way. I need to focus on the task at hand – eradicating the demons that have been terrorizing this village for centuries. With 665 demons left to vanquish, I know I have a long and dangerous journey ahead.
