The Devils Scourge

The Devils Scourge,  or Scourge for short, is a virulent and fatal strain of a celestial disease brought to the Earth Plain for population balance by the all creator, The Divinity in it's first conception. It is known to only be deadly to the heron species, however has been bio-engineered and weaponized by humans to affect all supernaturals. There is and never will be a cure.

Infection
The virus works by weakening and physically aging it's victims, and after a span of three months induces a painful and bloody death. It can be spread through consumption, copulation (oral vaginal and anal), as well as simple body contact as kissing and hand to hand. It is highly contagious.

The virus can be loosely compared to the Marburg Virus and Rabies, with similar symptoms and effects.

Symptoms
A heron affected with the Scourge will begin to weaken and lose their strength in a slow and subtle rate during the first week of infection, to which physical symptoms will begin to rise alerting the victim of their new condition. Those symptoms include: The average heron victim will succumb to a slow and torturous death over a course of three months. Because the disease is of a celestial origin, it is impossible to find a cure or be cured.
 * Hemorrhagic Fever (eyes, nose, ears and mouth)
 * Delirium
 * Hallucinations
 * Paranoia
 * Insanity
 * Violent and manic behaviour

After Lamia's interference with the disease, since 3 BC she had then made it impossible to be killed or die once infected. Victims have to endure the entire process until it completes is course, though victims willingly try to end themselves they instead keep being brought back, however every time it becomes more and more painful as to try and deter any from attempting it again.
