Nephilim Soul

Demon Hunt

Fuurgrim is seated within his study reading one of his books. As he was reading a cloud of black smoke enters the throne room. The black smoke then materialized as a person. As the smoke clears Seth is seen standing within the throne room. Tralexei then opens the door entering the room. "Fucking hell, do you not know how to just walk, Seth?" Tralexei said. "I am sorry, it was made clear that is was a matter of importance that Fuurgrim sees me." Seth said. Fuurgrim closed his book and walked over to the balcony. "But I have to introduce and escort you to him you classless idiot." Tralexei said in an annoyed tone. "That's quite alright, dear. Seth please come up here. Tralexei, make sure all of the preparations are in order for today." Fuurgrim said. Tralexei nodded and left the room closing the door behind her. Seth then proceeded to the lab area of the throne room and up the stairs leading to the study. "Maya informed me that you requested to see me?" Seth said. "I did, by all means, please sit down. There is no rush." Fuurgrim said motioning for Seth to sit. Seth sits in the area across from him. "As you know I am holding my games within a few hours of mortal time. Now usually I use only lesser and greater demons for the games as cannon fodder, but I am a feeling a bit crazier than I usually am about this. How would like to create a bit of malice and be my demon lord for them to hunt down. I am willing to unlock all seals placed upon you, by Maya's father for the 7 hours in which the game takes place. So you can be at your maximum potential as you once were when you resided in hell. I originally was thinking about Samsara, but in sheer combat she would overpower all of them due to inexperience, whereas you are the more tactical one with strength. So they would have to out maneuver you." Fuurgrim said. Seth appeared to have been in deep thought. "How would you manage to keep me from losing control? How would you keep me from going completely into my old demon ways. I am the one who isn't as in control with my impulses. Not to mention that would also be unlocking my other manifestation that I haven't been close with in years." Seth said. "Ah, your second manifestation how could I forget. Your seals will be linked my wards over purgatory in which I have to take down for the games. When they go down, so do your seals. Once they go back up you will return to your docile self. Not to mention I can weaken your other manifestation with my power from here. So the seals properly take effect. I assure you, that you have nothing to worry about." Fuurgrim said. A smile comes across Seth's face. "Then let's bring the madness to the competition." Seth said shaking Fuurgrim's hand. "Wonderful, let's us discuss the details of the rules of the hunt." Fuurgrim said.

Xander is within his study fixing his tie. Upon completing it he throws on his overcoat and grabs his cane and fedora. He walks over to his door. "Door! Purgatory please." He commanded. His door opened and he proceeded through it. Once through he walked through the streets until he reached the castle. He noticed Maya and Cain outside of it. Maya was dressed in an orange themed jumpsuit with tribal designs on it. She also wore heels white heels. Cain's hair appeared to be different. It was now cut into a faux hawk. Xander joins them in front of the castle. "Have you all been waiting long?" Xander asked. "Oh hello Xander, no we pretty much just got here." Maya replied. "I see someone has finally cut their hair. What's the occasion?" Xander said. "I felt that it was time for something different." Cain said. "You mean you didn't want to look like me. So you changed your appearance. Even though it only delays the inevitable." The trickster said as he manifested next to them. "You can say what you will, I intend to keep this as reality, I manifest my own destiny." Cain replied to the trickster. "Hm. Whatever, I'm done fighting with you for this week. I'll just continue to watch you crash and burn." The trickster said. "Good, better yet, do so from your cage." Cain said snapping his fingers as the trickster disappeared. "Are you ok?" Xander asked. "I'm fine, just banishing my subconscious back to where it belongs." Cain said. "Wow. So I take it you were able to learn a lot over the week." Xander said. Cain eyes began to glow as the entire world surrounding them changed into an open field. Xander then looks around in astonishment. "You tell me, uncle." Cain said as the glow from his eyes faded. The world changed back to purgatory. "Granted the illusions I can create still have a limited range of a mile as well as I can only make it believable for up to 10 people. But it's a start as well as other things I have learned. I can now enter a person's mind from a distance instead of making contact." Cain said. "That's wonderful. Especially after Eliza deeply scolded me over the phone for allowing Maya to teach you, saying that she wasn't competent enough for the task; but it appears she may have been a bit mistaken." Xander said.
