Nephilim Soul

The King of the River

A portal opens in an alleyway in the middle of a city. Xander and the group come through the portal. Karin and Shiro have accompanied them. Shiro has bandages across his body as well as Rahim. "I tried to tell you to just stay put in the room." Karin said. "Hey, I have a duty that comes before everything else." Rahim said. "I hear you." Karin said. "Where exactly are we?" Cain asked. "Apparently the states. Savannah, Georgia to be specific. This is where Nekronix was born. He moved back here after his sister's passing." Xander said. "His loft is right around the corner." Dahlia said.

They all walk out from the alleyway and turn a corner to see a door. They enter the door and follow Dahlia up two flights of steps. They proceed down the hall and approached a door.

"Oh right, I completely forgot about this. Xander, you stay here with Cain and Rahim. I'll go inside with Karin and Shiro and let him know to open the door. Dahlia said as she backed into the door and goes right through it. Karin and Shiro follow behind. "Oh bloody hell, screw him!" Xander said in an irritated tone. "How the hell did they do that?" Cain said. "I take it that it's a magical door." Rahim said. "It's not any magical door. It's a variation of The Door of Yang. I knew he would find a way to pervert my concept." Xander said. "Door of Yang?" Cain asked with a look of confusion. "It is a magical door I came up with using Jun's prowess with wards as a template. It is made to allow all things with good intention in their heart to pass through without the need of being invited. He took the idea and made his own door that allows anyone with darkness in their soul in. Which is why Dahlia is able to pass because she's a dark elemental. Karin and Shiro are the children of demons. Ugh, I hate warlocks, especially this one." Xander said. The door then opens and two women walk out, Nekronix walks out behind them in only boxers. "I swear Xander you are always a buzzkill. I made this door specifically for people like your ass." Nekronix said. "People like me? You mean people who follow the rules of society." Xander said. "Yeah, that's exactly the bullshit I meant." Nekronix said. "And could you please put on some clothes." Xander said. "Now Xander, don't even act like ya don't like what you see, but y'all go ahead and come on in." Nekronix said laughing. They enter the loft and saw Karin and Dahlia seated in the living room area on a red couch. Shiro stood off brooding in a corner. Xander walks in with Cain and Rahim as Nekronix headed to another room. Cain started to sit down, but Xander had stopped him. "Don't sit anywhere or touch anything, we don't know what in here has been hexed or just needs to be cleansed." Xander said. "It was clean enough for ya last time your prissy ass was 'round here." Nekronix said walking out wearing a green plaid button down and black jeans. He threw his locs up into a messy bun. "I was young and didn't know any better. It will also be the last time I follow my sister's judgment of character." Xander said. "Don't act like ya ain't enjoy letting loose one good time." Nekronix said. "The two of you must be referring to that party you threw celebrating you becoming an Archon." Dahlia said. "Yeah, and this joker still thinks I tried to take advantage of his drunk ass." Nekronix said laughing. "You absolutely did!" Xander exclaimed. "Man whatever bruh, but if I remember it correctly, you were coming on to me." Nekronix said with a grin. "I do kinda remember it playing out that way too." Dahlia said. "Either way, that's not the bloody point. He shouldn't have complied knowing I was not within my usual state of mind." Xander said. "Ain't shit more usual then a person under the influence of some liquid courage. You just did what you've been wanting to do. It's perfectly ok, your family clearly has a thing for dabbling with the dark side of things. Except for Priscilla that is." Nekronix replied. "Are the two of you just going to bicker the entire time? It's giving me a damn headache." Karin said slightly annoyed. "Karin, mind your manners." Shiro said. "Yeah, yeah whatever. I'm only being honest." Karin said. "My bad, lil girl. I don't usually show my ass this much in the presence of company, especially when one of the folks is a client. Come on, let's head on over to my house." Nekronix said. "Wait, you mean to tell me we are not even in your home?" Xander asked. "Oh naw, this just my spot for parties and getting down with the get down if ya feel what I'm saying." Nekronix said smiling. A look of disgust comes across Xander's face as they all begin to leave the loft behind Nekronix. They enter the elevator at the end of the hall and as the door closed Nekronix waved his hand as his eyes glowed red for only a moment. He then pressed the button for the first floor. They ride the elevator down and upon the doors opening it appeared to lead to a different place entirely. Nekronix walks out into the study within a house. The interior of the house was of historical Victorian design. Within the study were clothes lying everywhere, and empty bottles of beer and whiskey lying around. On the desk were open envelopes and books. Lined around the study were numerous artifacts from necklaces to weapons to simple trinkets.
