Nephilim Soul

The Reapers Twelve

Aleistor leaves out of his room and heads downstairs to see a woman sitting within the living room reading the newspaper and drinking tea. The woman was dark-skinned with hazel eyes and long dark brown hair that was naturally curly and coiled. She had her hair in a type of up-do as to keep it out of her face. She glanced over at Aleistor then back at her newspaper. "Going out?" she asked. "Yes, mom." Aleistor said. "Just how much longer do I have to deal with my son presented in such a disgusting manner?" She asked. "Until I hear from Fuurgrim mother you already know that." Aleistor said. "Hm. Tell whomever you are heading to go see I said Hello." His mother said. "Will do." Aleistor said while walking out of the door.

He continued down the street. He currently was wearing a hoodie and some jeans. He attempted to turn a corner when he felt his body grabbed by something, but upon looking at his body he found nothing. He then rolls his eyes. "Alright, Cole what is it that you want." Aleistor said aloud. At that moment two hooded figures walk out from the shadows. They both remove their hoods to reveal two young men one with rosy skin and his hand extended. The other with more pale skin. The pale one had long very straight and silver hair with a widow's peak. The other had a shorter blonde undercut with a hard part. "Why hello watchman!" Cole said as he twirled his finger to turn him around. "Ah, you brought Dean with you as well. That explains how you found me." Aleistor said. "You were still quite difficult to track, Rahim. Do not feel as if you've gotten rusty." Dean said in a monotonous tone. "If you would be so kind as to release me." Aleistor said. "Don't get cocky hybrid, I can let you go whenever I choose. Trying to tell me what you want. I still don't even know why Tralexei made you her second in command. It's fucking bullshit!" Cole said. "Calm down and release him Cole. We're here to only deliver a message." Dean said. Cole grunts and then releases him. "Well what is this message?" Aleistor said whilst walking up to them. Cole pulls a piece of paper from his robe and hands it to Aleistor. "Tralexei wants you to meet her at that location in an hour Fuurgrim apparently has another task for you." He said. "Great, hopefully I can stop being a student in this appearance." Aleistor said. He placed his hand on Cole. "You can't keep having this much hatred for the rest of your life Cole, it is healthy." Aleistor said. Cole vigorously removes his hand from his shoulder. "Listen here hybrid. Don't you ever touch me with those filthy hands of yours. Pathetic Archonian bastard. Have the nerve to call yourself a reaper, but you have a natural born tether to the wellspring. I will never respect you, and we will never be comrades!" Cole exclaimed. "Let's go, Cole." Dean commanded. "Yeah Dean, let's go, this fucking hybrid has be breathing my air for too long." Cole said turning around to leave. "You must forgive Cole of his atrocities he grew up in a much different time." Dean said "I am fully aware." Aleistor said opening the note as Cole and Dean left. In that moment his bodily features changed from pale to a brown skin tone with black markings along his body. His hair changed from medium length hair to thick dark brown locs that came down to his shoulders in the form of a mohawk and his eyes switched to green. A black robe with the sleeves cut off appeared on his body as his physique had changed to a muscular build. He had a bit of facial hair in a simple goatee and trimmed mustache. "Hopefully I can now go by my real name soon." He said to himself.

Lucas is in his bed of his room writhing in pain as he holds his head. He continues to yell in pain as he cannot contain himself. The pain subsides as he breathes heavily. He proceeds to get up from his bed and walks toward his bathroom. His doppelganger appears in the mirror as they make eye contact. "Lucas, I cannot keep watching you like this." The doppelganger said. "Why do you keep calling me that?" Lucas responded. "Because that is your name." The doppelganger stated. "No, it's not I don't know how many times I've told you. I do not know who this Lucas person is." Lucas exclaims as he blinks to his eyes being whited out. "Lucas. I need you too hold on. I need you to remember. It has only been 2 days since what happened. You are a student with two friends Aleistor and Cain." The doppelganger said. "Cain. Trickster. Sarakiel. Father. Agh!" Lucas said aloud grasping head. "I can't do this. I barely know who I am anymore. Everything about me is slowly fading away. Each new memory I make dies off." Lucas said. There was a knock at his door. "I don't think you should answer it." The doppelganger said. "I don't think I have much else left to lose." Lucas said. He walked over to the door and opens it. There were two hooded figures at the door. One had a sleeve of the robe removed revealing an arm. The other was a bit more form fitting. "Hello, Lucas correct? I hope we came to the right place Aster." One of the hooded figures said. "This is the address given to us by Tralexei, so this could be the only place Rebekah. I may not be Dean, but I can at least read a map." the other hooded figure said. They both pull their hoods down revealing their faces. One was a woman with blue eyes, light skin, and long wavy blonde hair. She also had a very comforting appeal. The other figure was a tall muscular man who was light skin and also had blue eyes. His hair was short, wavy and light brown. "Hello Lucas, my name is Rebekah and this is my brother Aster. We were sent by Tralexei and Fuurgrim to assist your journey to his castle within Purgatory if you decided to remove the ring permanently, but it is still your choice. You do not need to feel pressured into making the decision if you aren't ready." Rebekah said. "I am not going to give up my life for someone I don't even know." Lucas said. "Are you absolutely sure? You look terrible. Just how much longer do you believe that you can withstand this onslaught of a persona that isn't even you. Losing time every moment. Each minute you continue to be defiant towards the will of the ring the more it will drive into madness." Aster said aggressively. Within the realm of Limbo Lucas doppelganger walked into the room holding up his hands. "Wait! Please if you can see me. Please, take us to Fuurgrim. I don't want to keep seeing him like this. He's barely even sleeping or eating at this point and I feel like I'm losing more of him every hour." The doppelganger said. Rebekah nods at the doppelganger. "It's fine. We can see you perfectly clear. I have no problem fulfilling that request." Rebekah said. "But what are you gonna do about the main body? He's quite adamant." Aster said. "Don't you worry about that brother. I can handle that part I just need you to carry him." Rebekah said. "Carry me where. I am not leav--"Lucas started then Rebekah grabbed his face as she glared at him, eyes glowing. "Relax...nothing is wrong we just need you to sleep. Lucas then slowly falls asleep. Aster then picks Lucas up and throws him over his shoulder. "Alright let's head to Purgatory." Aster said. "Yeah, we need to make it fast, remember we have that meeting tonight and you know how much Tralexei hates tardiness." Rebekah said as she held her hand to Lucas's doorway. "Shatter! Limbo window!" The air within the doorway hardens and then breaks away like glass revealing limbo and the doppelganger standing within the apartment. They walk through the door and the shards return to the doorway as if nothing had happened.
