"Hello Eclipse. I was just playing with my ex-employers employees." He smiled, "Aurora is upset because she made you angry."
The ground shook, and the air became stained with the stench of a thousand years of decay. The ten foot tall denizen of the Abyss stood proudly before the elf, who seemed to not care about his pressence the creature shouted with his infernal voice, but recieved no responce form the elf. "I will eat your soul!" The creature proclamied, snaping his large crab-like claws in the air. Nelphean pointed a finger, and banished the creature with the same word he said before.
"She didn't intend to put Aurahkah in danger, she jsut was experinced with that sort of mage... He has a tendency to overkill.... YOu should see the forest after he thinks he trapped me." Nelphean said calmly. "She told me what happened, and I must say, my son wasn't bluffing, he could have killed Aurahkah using you as a gateway to her. Your spirit link links your minds and Ke'Nel could use that to rip Aurahkah's soul from her body using you as a focus. But he would never do that. He isn't evil."
"Mages can use focuses, like yourself, to attack people. He never would hurt Aurahkah, because all he wants is to avenge the death of his mother."

"Your son seems not to know when to hold his tongue though. I may never have killed a man in all my life...but if one were to bring harm to her, worst case kill her...I would not think twice about ripping him apart before I myself disappeared back into just mindless energy." Slipping from his chair he came to stand next to Nelphean. "You seem to be having a fairly easy time here. Even blind." Twitching his ears he continued on. "It's not specifically her I am angry with, I got my feather's ruffled and after a threat like that, they're still smoothing." He then paused for a moment and offered up for information. "And despite your words, he wouldn't of been able to rip her soul from her body...it's not there."

Nelphean put a finger to his lips. "Of course it is there, where else would it be." Nelphean looked back towards the door. "A soul can ne'er be anywhere but within one's self." Nelphean rubbed his arm, about where Aurahkah wore the bracelet.
The tall demon re-appeared with two more in similar size and shape. "Puny elf, you can't--"
Caliburn whiped across infront of the door, severing the upper portions of all three demons, who were standing fifteen feet away from the blade. Their bodies exploded, and their ashes slowly vanished into the air. Nelphean droped to his knees, and grasped his hands against his body, "Some things burn the soul..." He said with a smirk. Caliburn lay on the floor at Nelphean's knees.
"She really like you, you know."

"It doesn't use her body as it's vessel. It houses itself in that hieroglyph etched bracelet she always wears on her right wrist. So if one delved into her body to snatch he soul...they wouldn't find it." He flicked his tail as he was watching with amusement the things that came for Nelphean then were sent away again so easily. He then nodded and looked over to Aurora. "You mean her? Yes, I know she does. She doesn't at all try to hide it...much like you." Reaching down he grasped Nelphean by the arm and pulled him up to his feet, his other hand picking up Nelphean's sword. "Don't push yourself."

I am not your, Eclispe shadow Magic. The sword telepahtically tells Eclipse.
Nelphean sighed... "There is a demon listening to our conversation who would use such knowledge to harm me, especially since this perticular demon knows of my fondness of..." Nelphean said as he took the sword from Eclipse, and replaced it in its shief. "I know where Her soul is. Now this demon does as well." Nelphean sighed. "Where is she anyway?" Nelphean being clueless of events that happened while he was running around the forests, evading fire and ash.

"Let the demon come for her soul. He'll have a guardian to first go through and then a husband." He tilted his head some and gave a snort. "That's right. You're as Aurahkah would say, 'out of the information loop'. Well she and Vincent got engaged and then went and eloped. They aren't back yet. Though I think she could use the time away really, for three days she had no idea who she was...but that's another story." Giving his wings a single flap to stretch them out he continued on. "You know, I can have someone do something about your eyesight."

"My eyes..." Nelphean smiled, "Thank you for the offer, but I would only go blind again the next time I drew Caliburn." Nelphean felt the darkness riseing outside agian, but it stopped. "I think they learned there lesson." Nelphean said.
"So, she has found some happiness in this dark world." Nelphean said with a smile. "That is very good."
"Eclipse, do you realize the danger that demons pose?"

"She jokes about it, saying it's a joke of the Gods to make her wait so long to be truly happy. But I know she isn't really joking." He paused and stood still for a moment. He had the ability to feel dark energies as well, he just often didn't may attention to them. "They learn quickly then. Perhaps you should put some type of protection or ward on that weapon of yours then. No sense in having a word that sacrifices your sight. Or talks to you..." Crossing his arms again he shifted his weight. "I know a great deal about the danger that demon's bring. Personal ones and then those sent after one's self. Though...you should know that my friend."

"I am a demon. Everything I do tells me this." Nelphean placed a hand on Caliburn. "Caliburn does not affect my body, but my mind. Even with all of my magics and all those of my son, I could not ward the blindness away." Nelphean smiled, "Perhaps it was not the gods that prevented Aurahkah from finding happiness." Nelphean smelt the brimstone again, but it was much weaker. A wind carried the scent in from the yard.
"I see someone was fighting Hell. Who was it?"

"You're the oddest demon I've ever seen then...and I doubt your son would be so generous." A snort to follow the comment. "You have to know some higher level something or other. If not, well I know someone who might." Letting his expression go serious, though Nelphean wouldn't even see it due to him being blind, he continued in his answers."By my never lying nose, and by keen eyes...I can tell you with utmost certainty that it was Saradin Phoenix, Idalla, and Calcryx, and they were fighting with the demon who had taken Elias. Enoch was here too, in the battle. Now Elias lies dead...but with a smile on his face."
"And if it wasn't the Gods as she proclaims...then who insightful Quicksilver."

"Alas, poor Elias..." Nelphean lamented. He turned his head towards the open doors, and felt the breeze agiant.
"Aurahkah has ne'er been able to see..." Nelphean said cryptically.
"It takes blindness to realize the truth of what one sees." Nelphean heard some ancient voice inside his haed, speaking in some form of gibberish...
"Want to meet my daughters?" Nelphean asked as he shut the door.

"If you're talking about me...I think you're wandering the wrong path." He shook his head and smiled. So many though thought that about himself and his creator, though they would never truly understand the bonds they shared. Pulling from his thoughts he nodded to Nelphean. "I'd be glad to meet your daughters...that is if you think it appropriate. I seem to be having an effect on all the women lately since I've been in this form." He laughed at his own comment.

"Follow me." Nelphean turned from the door, and walked to the library. Reaching the library, he turned left, and walked streight until he reached a stairwell. He followed the stairs up, and turned towards the heavenly section of the manor. He counted fifteen doors, and opened it. Revealing a tall, very beautiful woman, standign by a window, looking at the tree where Elias died.
She put a finger to her lips, and pointed towards another woman sleeping on the bed. "She has been very exaughsted." The woman said in a soft voice.
She wore a green tunic, and brown breeches. She was adorned with a light chainmail, and she had two swords straped to her back. She walked towards the pair, and greated Nelphean with a hug, and looked at Eclipse queerly. "You smell like shadows."

Eclipse merely followed and returned the look he was being given then smiled. "I am shadows. Well energy of them at least." He then followed the form of greeting he had often seen Aurahkah do; a simple nod of acknowledgment and then his name. "I'm Eclipse."

"Well Eclipse, I am Sylphina Nelfen" SHe nodded her head as well. She put a hand on Eclipse's head and scrtached behind his ear. "Aurora told me about you, but she never mentioned that you were a human." She smiled and winked at him. "My sister, Taria is sleeping, so we should try to keep our voices down. I would suggest moving, but she would be very unsettled if she awoke alone."
"Sylphina is a proficent fighter, she tried to slice me up with hertwo-sword style of fighting." Nelphean laughed. "Thankfully, she never could get around my stoneskin. I would be quite headless, and probably half the elf you see befoer you."
