Superstition S2 Sneak Peek (3) (Patreon)

Rahim motions for me to join them, and I do. Going to the front of the car as he places a large map against the hood and circles a city.

“Chicago?” Bradley asks, raising a brow, “are you sure you want to go there?”

“What’s in Chicago?” Chris asks.

“It’s a supernatural hotspot,” Rahim answers, “let’s say normal towns have about ten supernaturals at the most. Well, hotspot towns and cities have hundreds. These places have concentrated supernatural factions, and you’ll end up getting into occult politics if you’re not careful.”

“Think New Orleans, Savannah, New York, Washington, and San Francisco, to name a few,” Bradley tells us.

“Supernatural factions? Like werewolf versus vampire?”

“Sometimes werewolf versus werewolf versus werewolf,” Rahim tells me, “it’s too much to go into, but it’s an entirely different society and culture when it comes to the factions. They don’t behave like the creatures you’ve come across. It’s politics, century-old grudges, and everything else. If you can imagine humans fighting about it, then supernaturals will too, it’s just a lot bloodier and bad for the rest of us.”

“Now,” Rahim continues on, back to his original point, “getting into hell the way I know how isn’t easy. Every continent holds a gateway, and it changes every year. Also, a guardian guards said gateway. Finding the gateway on our own is practically impossible, and so we’re going to have to talk to some people who probably know about it.” He pauses and looks each of us in the eye, “have you ever dealt with vampires before?”
