Turmoil (War X OC)

Yer a Nephilim Pharaoh

War I mused over the name, I didn't know what to expect.
"We must go to the Council first."
The Watcher pulled me from my thoughts and gave me an uneasy feeling. Why are we going to The Council? I am usually just brought to where I need to be....
We walked in silence until we neared the path that lead to The Council.
"You'd best behave up there, that means no more disrespect!" The Watcher snickered and faded away, leaving me to wonder what it had meant.
Huh, I will give them sarcasm instead. See if the stone bastards like that. After all, they did experiment on me. I did give them permission several times but not the last time.
I continued musing to myself and started up the path. The last time they took Angel and Demon blood and forced it into me. Last human, important to the balance, yeah let's inject her with some freaky shit!
I scuffed the bottom of my boot on a step and almost tripped. Fuck! Ow, damnit that hurt!
I rubbed my shin, luckily it didn't break skin. I sighed, Although they didn't get my permission last time, something did change. I am growing taller again when I should have been done growing, especially since I was fifty at the time they did that. I only looked 30 or so but after that I started looking younger again. I got more energy and I felt better, this isn't a bad thing but since then I have felt like something is missing. God I wish I knew!
I cleared the final step and let 'confidence' shine when I was really just a tight knot of nervousness. I walked towards the Council, and I noticed the man right away. It's him! Wait that's WAR! Oh Holy Hell someone punch me.
I kept walking and sizing him up, hoping he won't recognize me right away. He barely twitched his head, but I know that he hears me coming. I slid the dagger out of sight and stepped up next to him. I tilted my head back slightly to look at the stone heads that act as a tether to this world for each Council member.
She finally graces us with her presence
I cocked an eyebrow and tilted my head slightly
"Well sorry. That damn Watcher caught me while I was changing. Your lucky I didn't kill it like I did the last one. Now. Why am I here? You never have me come here. You always have a Watcher just send me out wherever I am needed." I crossed my arms.
Watch your tongue Human you wouldn't like to find it missing.
I snorted and made a rolling hand gesture. Get to the fucking point, Jesus fucking stuck up much?
You will accompany War on his trip to earth to punish the ones responsible for the End War. You will receive a gift from us before you leave. Remove all your weapons and jump into the lava before you. Stay in for as long as you can.
I hesitantly reached to my waist and unhooked my weapons by undoing my belt. I slowly lowered them to the ground. I didn't have my armor on, I had just carried it because I knew I was already going to be late. I didn't want to make any punishment worse by taking the extra time to put the armor on.
"Wait just a second, the Watcher said I would be training him. You lied just to get me here? I would have come no matter what the Watcher told me."
You are not one to question us!
With a huff I stepped forwards and stood at the edge of the river of lava.
The dagger
Huh? Oh.... well if War didn't know who I was before he certainly will now.
I pulled the dagger up and whipped it behind me, the solid thunk and metal chime told me I had hit precisely where I had wanted it to. Barely touching Wars foot. I focused on the lava and then I jumped in. As soon as I touched it I wanted to scream, I expected it to hurt like a bitch, but this? I took in as much air as I could before I was fully submerged. The lava felt like hot dangerous silk against my skin. I could barely think as I squeezed my eyes shut even tighter. I thrashed as I felt something touching me, it gripped me and pulled me closer. Then it pulled itself INTO me, but it didn't feel bad. It felt like something I lost was returning to me. It coiled in me and I briefly wondered how much of it there was.
A lot apparently! I arched my back as the last of it coiled up. Air, I need air. I set out for air but where was up? Suddenly I found it, I shot up gasping, my lungs heaving for air. Opening my eyes I saw War staring at the dagger in his hand. I pulled myself out and stood to my full height.
Which is, apparently, a foot taller.
When I walked in I didn't even meet Wars shoulder, but now I am only two inches shorter than him.
I whipped around "What have you done to me?" I demanded the answer in a low and deadly calm voice.
When we had the angel and then the demon give their blood to you, it made you Nephilim. We took any magical abilities you might have had and hid them from you. When it developed fully it started calling to you. It was only a matter of time until it broke free and returned to you.
"Why did you do this to me? I am now 126 and I would have been happy dieing 70 years ago! I am utterly alone! I have no one! The damned apocalypse was 109 years ago! I wanted to die when they took Elaine! And you prolonged my life. I will use this to destroy any that oppose me. I will use this to avenge Elaine. But so help me God, if you do anything else to me I will find a way to rip those ugly stone heads into itty bitty pieces." I glared at them as they started laughing.
We made a hybrid, that's what we did. Body and power of a Nephilim, soul of a human. Why can't you just obey and keep your silver tongue to yourself? Go to earth with War and activate your powers.
It was a clear dismissal and I turned around with a loud growl. I reached out and snatched my dagger from War, and it seemed happy to be with me again. Hubris hummed as I stuck it in the sheath. I walked over and strapped on my armor and weapons. I faintly heard the council tell him to stick his arm in the lava. I heard a pained grunt and it took all of my self control not to whip my dagger out and 'defend' myself. After a few seconds I heard the Watcher give its speech and then War stepped past me heading up the left set of stairs. I watched as he yanked Chaoseater out of the ground. He twirled it and put it on his back, he then walked over to the portal and stopped, turning when the Council began to speak.
Wait. Pharaoh should display her skill with her blades and her dagger.
"There will be plenty of time for that later" I snapped.
I turned and walked over to the portal. "Are we going?"
I reached out gripping War's shoulder and I lept forward, effectively making him stumble into the portal.
