"War is war. No matter what you call it, people will get hurt." Metatron said. The war between good and evil, order and chaos, creation and destruction, is not only limited to our planet but extends throughout the universe. The same war rages on an innocent planet called Eden. Malevolent forces are on the verge of victory in their conquest for the peaceful Eden. The only ones that have kept them from total domination are the Souldiers. The Souldiers are wielders of mystical swords with extraordinary powers. This is the story of Michael the newest recruitment in the Souldier group. On his 17th birthday, Michael is chosen to wield the Phantom Sword; a sword with amazing abilities and incredible powers. Will Michael and the Souldiers be able to stop the forces who want to conquer Eden or will they fail and be in the list of casualties?

Many people today are entranced by the idea of speaking with the dead or else immersing themselves in vampire tales and wonder. What most people don't realize is how old and revered these stories really are. Within this work Calmet attempts to show where the idea of spirits and apparitions comes from and then within the second part of the main work where the idea and history of the vampire itself comes from. This work simply is not just a history text of ancient religious beliefs but also explains the thinking and beliefs that surrounded the spirits and vampires in the day and age when Calmet wrote this work.
