The Scarlet King is back

Where did he come from?

As Emily rushed back to the hotel she thought over the interaction with SK.
Emily: He certainly was not what I was expecting as a bar keeper in hell. Then again the only bar attendant I know is Husker so that is not a very wide pool to go from.
Emily thought back to SK and wondered why he was down in hell. He did warn her not to relax too much around him. She had learned from her time in heaven that she should always be cautious around strangers and after being in hell that went triple. After the Velvet incident she was certainly not going to let her guard down. Yet when thinking of SK, he didn't seem dangerous, like at all, even Alastor at his nicest was more threatening than him. He almost seemed nice. Though that could be an act. She then felt his pendent in her pocket. He seemed so tame compared to other people she has met. An idea struck her.
Emily: "Maybe I can convince him to come to the hotel. Charlie would be so excited"
Speaking of she finally made it back to the hotel and opened the door. Inside Charlie was pacing back and forth having a panicked look on her face.
Charlie: Where is she? She should have been back an hour ago!
Vaggie: Calm down hun. She can handle herself. She has been working on her magic.
Emily: H..hey guys. I'm back, sorry for being late.
Charlie looks up and then in a blur tackles Emily to the ground hugging her like she could disappear.
Charlie: Where WERE you. You had me so worried.
Emily: I am sorry,... but you now I can handle myself, right?
Charlie: That doesn't matter I'm your big sister and as your big sister it is my job to be worried about you.
They untangle themselves and stand back up then Charlie proceeds to give Emily a warm hug and Emily returns it in kind
Emily: "Did Sara ever hug me like this, in all my years, I can't remember any time I ever felt this missed."
Her eyes started to mist a bit.
Emily: Thank you Charlie you have no Idea how much that means to me.
They hug each other tighter. Vaggie joins in and they spend several moments embracing each other....
Alastor: Hello my dears .
They all jump back.
Vaggie: What the FUCK Alastor!
Charlie: That wasn't very nice Al.
(Emily takes a second to catch her breath)
Alastor: Why, I just relished that our charming little seraphim has returned to our most glorious establishment and had to make my presence known.
Vaggie: Stop talking bullshit, the only reason why you did that was to scare us.
Alastor: Maybe
(Emily rolls her eyes as Vaggie goes red in the face with anger)
Alastor smiles wildly showing all of his teeth and then sees something out of the corner of his eye
(He walks over and picks up the curious little object)
Alastor: Curious. My dear Emily we're ever did you procure such a curious pendent.
Emily looks curious and then her eyes open in realization
Emily: Oh. Right. That actually has something to do with why I am late.
Alastor: Really? Do tell.
(Alastor hands the pendent to Emily)
Emily: I was walking around just thinking of everything that got me here today and how happy I am that I met all of you and the rest of my family. (Looks at Charlie and Charlie practically beams in excitement) when I noticed that one of the buildings got recently purchased and I decided to welcome them to hell.
Alastor: Quite a risky move my dear.
Emily: I realized the risk but it didn't seem to dangerous.
Alastor: Never trust that in hell my dear, after all, we all did something to wind up down hear wether we deserve it or not.
Emily: He said the same thing.
All: He?
Emily: The bartender and owner. He said that while I didn't have to be professional around him I should still be cautious.
Alastor: Quite sage advice.
Emily: Yes quite. As I was saying after I had finished my tea I ...
Charlie: Tea? I thought you said this was a bar.
Emily: It was a bar that served tea. Anyway. As I was about to explain. Once I finished my tea I tried to pay he refused and said it was on the house for his first costumer.
Charlie: That was nice
Alastor: Quite. Continue my dear.
Emily: Right, as I was saying I realized I was late and ran for the door and just before I left he tossed me the pendent and told me it was a way to contact him. He also said he would be happy to help out around the hotel.
Charlie: (squeals in excitement) Oh that would be so great if he helps out enough he might even want to stay here and redeem his ways.
Emily: That's what I was thinking.
(She runs over to Charlie and grabs her hands as they both start bouncing up and down)
Vaggie: Now wait a minute there is quite a difference between someone helping out and redeeming themselves. Think about Angel.
Alastor: Quite true. However more help to help around the hotel would be most lucrative.
I suggest that we contact this man. now how does this little device work.
Emily: I... don't know. I kind rushed off to get back here and forgot to ask about it.
Alastor: This simply will not do. We must rectify this situation immediately.
As Emily was holding onto the pendent she pressed down on the eye on the middle with her thumb, not really expecting it to do anything. Yet all of a sudden it cracked and then it lifted up and was consumed in a ball of fire and the fire grew about to the size of a persons head then from that fire ball it twisted it shape until an eye appeared in its place roughly the same size. The eye looked like it was made of pure fire with one black iris in the center that looked like a cat's ( think like something like Sauron's eye from Lord of the Rings). Everyone stares in bewilderment.
SK: Hello Ms. ...I'm sorry I don't remember catching your name.
Emily:(Emily blushes in embarrassment as she recovers from her stupor.) It's Emily, just Emily, so please no Ms.. I'm far too young to be called a Ms. yet.
SK: As you wish. So what do you wish to speak about.
Emily: I was hopping to take you up on your offer to help out. Aslongasitisnottomuchofaninconvinence.
SK: It would be my pleasure. What do you say. Should I be their morning of tomorrow.
Emily looks at Charlie and she nods her head while still in a daze.
Emily: That would be great. See you tomorrow.
SK: See you tomorrow.
The fire quickly shrinks and goes back in to the little eye of the pendent as it preteens to normal. It then falls back into Emily's hands.
Vaggie: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?
Emily: I don't know. (She looks over to Charlie)
Charlie: Don't look at me. I have never seen anything like that before either. Al?
Alastor: Far be it from me to say this but I have never seen anything like this either. I suggest that when our help gets here tomorrow we ask him about it. I am quite curious as how he pertained such a trinket.
Emily: Ya.... Good idea. Well night guys.
The rest: Night Emily.
Alastor: Sweet nightmares my dear.
(Emily roles her eyes and heads of to bed)
As she gets into bed and looks out the window of her room hundreds of questions filled her mind at the forefront of them was...
Emily: "Who are you SK?"
