Nephilim Soul

The High Priestess of Kyoto

"Why do you need to speak to Jun, again?" Fuurgrim said to Shiro and Karin while sitting within his study area. "She is my father's most trusted person in the mortal realm. It was the last thing he told me before he sent Shiro and I up here." Karin said. "My gates are not made for trivial transportation across the mortal realm. When you can easily take one of those flying machines my reapers are always going on about. Why didn't you just ask Xander?" Fuurgrim asked. "Well we were, but they weren't home." Karin said. "Oh for death's sake. Fine, but this cannot become a habit." He said getting up from the chair. Karin and Shiro rise from their seats as well, and they proceed down the steps. Moving to the main area of Fuurgrim's throne room, he moves the curtain blocking a giant door. He proceeds to sit in his throne chair. On each side of his chair there is a sheathed broadsword made with reaper stone. The sheath of each sword was mounted to the chair. He pulls out the swords and then places them into two grooved holes in the base of the throne. His eyes slowly to begin to glow green. He placed his hands on the hilts of the swords and ether begins to flow from him to the swords as the markings on the sword begin to glow green. The glowing marks extend to the markings on the doors. Upon all the markings reaching the door, it slowly opens revealing a portal that appears to go nowhere.

"As you know, my door works a bit differently from the Archons' methods of teleportation. Proceed through the door and you should wake in Japan, hopefully in the right time. As you know mortal time is quite difficult to gauge here." He said. "Yeah, I remember from when we had to relocate here. Hopefully, I don't get sick again." Karin said with a look of disgust on her face. Shiro and Karin then proceed to walk through the gate.

Xander, Cain, Rahim, and Dahlia reach Jun's home. It was of traditional Japanese design in the form of a minka. The amount of land was quite large, and she had numerous fountains around her property. Upon arriving they were greeted by one of the handmaidens. The hand maiden wore a white mask that completely concealed her face, along with an all white kimono designed with red flowers. They then led them to the garden in which Jun was sitting smoking from a pipe whilst reading a book that appeared to be fiction. She was wearing a black and red kimono There were two other handmaidens standing around her.

"Lady Jun, your guests have arrived." The handmaiden declared. "Thank you, you may go." Jun commanded. "Quite the fancy setup you have here, Jun I would have not expected all of this." Xander said. "You could not have thought I was broke. If so, you are a much bigger idiot than I had originally took you for." Jun said taking a puff of smoke. She glances over and noticed Dahlia, Rahim, and Cain. "I see you came along to Dahlia, anything to get out of the house I assume, or perhaps you just wanted to see Nekronix." Jun said in a snarky tone. "No, not at all. He is merely a bonus." Dahlia said. "They are just some vermin that you should never entertain for too long old friend." Jun said. "I mean if the sex is good I can't knock it too much." Dahlia said. "I am afraid that I am not as liberated of a woman as you are to feed into the unwarranted arrogance of that one. Either way I assume you journey here was simple and pleasant, Xander?" Jun asked. "Yes, this area was quite easy to find. It must be hard being a high priestess." Xander said. "It has it's daunting moments, but when you are as dauntless as I am not much of it will bother you. Where will you all be staying?" Jun asked. "Oh we got a spot in the next town over." Xander said. "Good. Cancel it." Jun commanded. "What? Why?" Xander asked. "Because you are going to stay here where you will be under my formal protection." Jun explained. "That's fine and all Jun, but isn't the temple filled with a large amount of malevolent spirits?" Dahlia asked. Jun closes the book in her hand. "Oh those are not anything for you all to worry about. Once again as long as I am within the temple they cannot even properly manifest." Jun said as she started playing with one of her curls. "Is that ok with the two of you?" Xander asked the two boys. "Not really." Cain said. "There isn't any other alternative?" Rahim asked. "I want to say yes, but she is insisting that we stay here." Dahlia explained. "In order for us to even be here, it is up to her. Fine." Xander said. "I am glad that you understand your position. One of my handmaidens will come for you things and show you to your lodgings." Jun said putting out her pipe. She then stands up and walks over to the side of Cain. "Wow, you look a lot worse than the last time I saw you Trickster." Jun said smiling. Cain looks at Jun in astonishment. "Do not be alarmed, Cain. Lady Jun is probably the only medium in the world skilled enough to see one's aetherial half. She is not only an archon, she is also the oldest medium to ever live. "So not only can she see me, but she knows who I am as well?" The Trickster said after manifesting fully. Jun snaps her fingers and her handmaidens then walk to the others grabbing their bags. "My handmaidens will take you now. I would like a moment alone with these two." Jun said. Xander and Dahlia turn to leave with the masked women. "No offense, Rahim, but I was referring to Cain and his little friend here. You're more than welcome to wait right behind the door to the garden." Jun clarified. Rahim sighed and snapped his fingers teleporting away. "Kids these days are always so flashy with their means of transportation. But of course I know who you are Trickster. I was the one who proposed the use of the Seed of Sarakiel to put you away. I knew of it's power for many years from an demon I used to keep in contact with." Jun said. "So you know of my former life? You have the answers I am looking for." The Trickster said. "I only have a few of them, but I don't think it would be in my best interest to tell you; rather I will just tell Cain." Jun said tapping on his nose. At that moment Cain passes out and Jun disappears.
