Nephilim Soul

La Femme Mélancolique

It is morning as Cain awakes from his bed. He looks over to see a large quantity of items packed within his room. He rises from his bed and stretches. His door opens and Xander is at the door. "Oh good you're awake, go ahead and get ready. Dahlia informed me that Rahim is just about done and I am ready to get this scenic tour over with." Xander said. "Why are you always in a rush when it comes to seeing Aunt Eliza?" Cain asked. "It's nothing, major. I would just rather not stay for too long is all. She can really ruin a mood over time." Xander said. "Alright." Cain said shrugging his shoulders.

Xander leaves closing Cain's door behind him. The Trickster walks out from the shadow of the room as Cain begins putting on clothes. "So who are these people we're supposed to be visiting?" The Trickster asked. "They're different magical beings who are supposedly capable of teaching me magic, but since we're leaving town for a while we're stopping in Scotland first to visit Aunt Eliza." Cain said while throwing on a blue Henley. "Eliza...that name sounds familiar I just cannot place as to how or from where." The Trickster said. "Well she's our Aunt so I guess you would." Cain said laughing. "That is not what I meant. I just remember hopelessness. That is all." The Trickster said ominously. "What? That's impossible. Aunt Eliza is one of the most jovial people I know. She always manages to entertain us. Even in her old age. What ever you remember in regards to her has got to be a different person entirely." Cain said. "Hm. I'm usually never wrong, but perhaps it could be true." The Trickster said. "Exactly. Now let's go out and learn some stuff." Cain said enthusiastically.

The Trickster sighs then turns to disappear in the shadows. Cain then throws on his shoes and heads downstairs with his bags.

Upon making it down the stairs he then saw Xander sitting down with one small duffel bag in the corner. "Is that all you're taking uncle Alex?" Cain asked confused. "Of course, what all would I need?" Xander said. "Aren't we going to be away for two weeks?" Cain asked. "Yes, and there is two weeks of stuff in there." He replied. Xander knocks his cane against the floor. The duffel bag then glows and separates revealing numerous suitcases. "I just don't believe in carrying numerous bags." Xander said as he flicks his cane and the bags come back together leaving only a duffel bag in its place. There was a knock at the front door. "Would you get that Cain, that's most likely Rahim. I told him to knock more instead of just appearing in here." Xander said waving his hand.

Cain drops his bags off, and walks over to the door; opening it. Outside he saw Rahim as well as a woman around Rahim's height with numerous bags. Her hair in an up-do as to keep it out of her face as it was quite long. She was wearing a long sleeved, white frilly blouse with her shoulders exposed and she also had on blue form fitting jeans and brown thigh high, heeled boots. She had a slightly lighter complexion than Rahim, but had similar markings on her skin. She seemed young, but her presence seemed as if she was a strong woman who has seen the world end. "Oh, you must be Cain. I'm am Dahlia Brodeur, Rahim's mother." She said. Xander's eyes widen as he jumps out of his chair and runs to the door. "Dahlia? What are you doing here and why do you have bags?" Xander said. "Oh, well Rahim properly explained to me what exactly was going on, and I understand you are taking a trip to Eliza, Nekronix, and Jun." Dahlia said. "Yes. This is true." Xander said reluctantly. "I really hope she is not trying to come along." Xander thinks to himself. "Oh then I've decided to come along. I'm sure you don't mind. I haven't seen Eliza and Jun in quite some time, and it's always a party with Nekronix. Besides I can be your backup." Dahlia said. "Does that mean we are going to have to deal with a security detail for the Queen of the Dark Elementals?" Xander asked. "Dark Elementals?" Cain asked Rahim mentally. "I'll explain it to you later" Rahim replied. "Oh of course not. Because I'm travelling with the High Wizard of the North. You're all the security I need. Besides I am fully capable of taking care of myself. Now would you be a good gentleman and condense our bags please." Dahlia said walking into the their house with Rahim following behind. Xander released a large sigh. "Travelling with royalty, glorious." Xander thinks to himself.
