"I thought you were a elemental demon." Ash spoke his voice resounding inside Kale. He felt jilted in that truth, Kale closed his eyes and cursed his inability to get things right with his charge. But looking at Ash's grown up face he inhaled and spoke the truth no one knew but him and Sen.
"I am an elite Sephirian, it is our sacred charge to kill the Nephilium," He looked at his hands and then at Ash, ignoring the kings gaze. "I am very old Asher, and I was one of the thirteen top fighters, we corralled the Nephilium we couldnt kill and the demons and angels sealed them away. After that the Dark Lord himself sealed us away too, afraid we would usurp demon control. Sephirians, are different from the Nephilium, we dotn hold allegiences to Heaven."
"And you and Sen are the last?" Zeke asked, Kale nodded.
"Are you going to kill the girl?" Ash asked.
"No, she is a rare creature, a light Nephilium, untouched by Heavens sway or Hells grasp. If she can join the fight she would make a devestating warrior. I will have to convene with Sen about this but the fight cannot be taken on by us if our contrat holders dont want us to fight." Kale spoke and nodded. "Think about it Asher, I am your servent, if you dont want me to fight I wont."
"We'll discuss this later, father I'm going to see the slave myself." Ash closed his eyes and winced. "I'm sure I met him somewhere before, and that girl too."
Kale watched Ash enter the bedroom and looked at Sen as he entered. "You told them." He growled, Kale nodded and they teleported out into the courtyard. Kale flexed his arms testing his ability to remain on this plane on contract.
"The girl is a Nephilium." Kale spoke. "A light Nephilium."
They both turned as an inky shape coalesced from teir shadows, the shape of a woman formed, blue light glowing from swirls carved into her inky flesh. Buio was a shadow Sephirian, she had lost her body long ago. "You want to turn her into a Sephirian?" She asked.
"It would be wise to have a queen again." Sen sighed. "We havent had a Light Nephilium in our time since Lilian died."
"Indeed, she could give us the chance to break free of the blood contract. I'm tired of my body melting off of me." Kale grumbled and fire flared along his arms. He inhaled and calmed himself.
"She knows nothing of our world? Our truth?" Sen asked.
"I very much doubt she does, the angels never spoke to us of our truth, we had to learn from demons." Buio sighed. "You should find her Kale, the Sephirian deserve to live again."
"We could train her, help her become Sephirian, teach her about the truth her angel mother will no doubt hide from her." Sen looked up, "I have to go, Lucas is calling."
"When we break free Sen, I'm going to do exactly what I've wanted to do for a few years now." Kale breathed.
"And that is?" Sen huffed.
"Get laid, and kill you." Kale smirked.
"As if fool." Sen vanished and Buio melded back into the ground. Kale looked out at the city, Ash hadn't given him any restrictions. He looked longingly back up at the balcony, to the young demon that held sway over him. How he wished these bonds didnt make him subservient. He shook his head and vanished to reappear outside the castle walls. He inhaled the air and started out to hunt for the female Nephilium. Her scent was sweet, full of lilies and snow. Icy yet hot in his senses, it woke something in him that was long asleep. His firey temper ignighted as he could sense her emotions, she was hurt. She was angry.
Kale followed his senses until he came upon an abandoned doorway slightly opened. This hadnt been here before, but he was sure he'd seen somethign like this on the other side of the city, back when a rogue White Knight had kidnapped the twins and Jin. Kale clenched his fists in fury as he remembered that day, he was bested by a Human. Inconcievable. He edged in and let a human guise take over his obvious Sephirian traits. He would hunt this girl down and see how much she knew about her origins.
