Over looking the city a man stood in the window of a high rised building. The early morning moon shining brightly, its reflection shimmering on the river. Lights across the city flickered on and off as people got up and others went to bed. Car lights rushed along the quiet city roads and the man watched with both interest and indifference at the world around him. He heard a knock on the door and turned on the spot. "Come in." He said walking toward his desk halfway across the room.

The door opened and three men dressed in long coats walked in. The old man sat at the desk and waited for the men to take seats infront of him. One of them placed a briefcase on the desk and opened it. It was full of money neatly organised in rows and bundles. "It's all there." Said another of the men as the old man looked at it.

"Where is Milaki?" The old man asked as he closed the briefcase and placed it on the floor beside him.

"He is busy tracking down another reborn." Replied the one who had the breifcase. "He has written you a letter, he didn't want to leave a digital trace, he said burn the letter once you've read it." The man removed an envelope from his pocket and slid it across the desk.

The old man opened the letter and read it quickly. A smile crept across his face as he read further. Then without warning he grabbed his samurai sword from the sheath under the desk, in a fast fluid motion he decapitated the three men infront of him and put the letter on the table. He stood up and walked around the desk with his sword in hand. Then he placed the sword blade on the shoulder of the first body. "Con-yam-ha-merif-arg-fi-maw!" The body suddenly began to disolve infront of his eyes and then he placed the blade into the chest of the next body and again it began to disolve. When he removed the blade he placed it against the final body and again it began to disolve like the others. Once the bodies were nothing more than dust he returned to his seat. "Fi-cos!" He uttered before sliding the sword back into the sheath.

Another door opened and a tall woman walked in carrying a black bag. Without a word she walked over to the heads on the floor and picked each one up and placed them in the rubbish bag. "Don't forget to hoover up the remains of our guests." Said the old man to the woman who simply nodded. The phone rang beside him and he let it ring a few times before answering it.

"This better be good news." He said as he placed the phone to his ear. The voice on the other end of the phone began talking. Once the voice stopped the old man looked at the note. "Yes it is here in front of me and Yes I took their heads off, their blood is disposable." He paused a moment waiting for the voice on the phone to stop talking again. "No they are Pria's descendants, fully expendable pawns in this game of ours. Let me know when you aquire our next victim." He put the phone down and looked at the woman in the door way. "Make it quick I have to rest." He said as he got up from the chair and headed for the bedroom.

Malic woke early taking a wander into the secret library and found Yanko busy writing names on a white board. "Busy!" He said as he walked in.

"Ah Malic, yes in fact this is a list of names for all one hundred Nefilites. If we are about to start looking for them then we are going to have to be smart." He threw Malic the marker he had been using. "Uthar is busy on the computer checking social media, we had a thought about it. People may be using their old names as nicknames or user names, tags or whatever else they may be called, without realising it. So he's busy looking in the main hall." There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "So where do we start..." He asked as he pointed to the board.

Suddenly there was a flash of light in the corner of the room and both men recognised the winged man standing there. "So you are looking for reborns then Yanko." Asked Alexicus as he walked toward Malic. "Good to see you again Malic, we need to talk." He turned to Yanko. "All of us, now."

It didn't take them both long to gather the others. There were a few minutes of pleasant greetings as everyone said their fond hellos to the Messanger God. Once everyone had settled down Alexicus began speaking. "It has been brought to our attention that someone is manipulating the Sons of Oris into taking action against the Nefilites. We do not know who it is but we believe it may be Milaki." He looked at everyone in the room. "Tyther is worried as he heard you mention the Opinox, so he had the Winged Host search for other reborns. We found a few and have directed them here. The Opinox is a concern for us all so we need to know if it is likely to happen soon." He looked at Malic.

"What about the reborns? Why are they being hunted?" Asked Yanko.

"Our guess is that who ever is behind all this wants to wipe out the Nefilites. Milaki has always had a problem with your bloodline, and we know he was reborn about eighty years ago. He has taken the control of the Sons and pushes them to find reborns. They think they have found another but I had to step in and I moved her. She is close by, so When we are done I will bring her here. However we know Milaki isn't running things and whoever is, is managing to hide themselves from all of us." Alexicus looked about the room at everyone then disappeared then suddenly reappeared.

However he wasn't alone, beside him stood a short woman with fiery red hair. Uthar stood up in shock and took a few steps forward. "Thea?" He said looking at the woman before him recognising her from memories from days long gone.

The woman smiled and walked toward him with her arms out. "Hello Uthar." She said embracing him tightly.

"We do not know exactly who they have already found. Not all reborns have changed, many are like Malic, still fighting. Yet they are all in danger and so much so Tyther is considering breaking his promise and sending the Eternal Host to earth to restore balance." Added Alexicus. "However I must go, I have been here too long already. I will try and return soon but I fear things are going to get alot harder." He disappeared in a flash of light without warning.

Yanko stood up and looked at the others. Uthar and Thea were talking to each other a spark in their eyes from being brought together again.

"Uthar any luck with the search?" Asked Yanko taking a chance to interrupt his conversation.

"Um, yeah had a few hits as they say. We have a possible here in the city." He held Thea's hand and walked with her out of the room toward the hall. The others followed behind them except Kandra who remained in the room looking at the board of names. There was a name on there she hoped they would not find too soon, Kilmer, the favoured one of  Woki, he was a ghost she hoped would remain dead.

Malic realised Kandra was missing and headed back to the room, he waited at the door watching Kandra wipe a name from the board. "Kilmer, he must have done something bad for you to wipe him from the list." He said as he took a few steps into the room. Kandra spun around in surprise.

Seeing the look in her eyes he remembered a situation like it before.

'He stood looking at himself, dressed in his detailed bronze war armour holding his hammer. Honsi stood looking at Kandra, who was undressed and flustered. She stood partly hidden behind a white pillar near the garden of Tronis. Malic watched as Honsi stepped closer and Kandra tried to hide herself from him, but it was too late. Then Honsi spotted someone else hiding nearby. He lifted his hammer ready to swing before the other man revealed himself and Honsi flinched. Malic watched and heared the two men argue, the other he discovered was Kilmer. Malic watched as Honsi simply walked away in a rush of anger.'

Suddenly Malic was back in the room with Kandra at the board. "You betrayed Honsi." He said looking at her. Malic turned and walked away.

Meanwhile Uthar was showing Yanko the search results and one in particular. "I have found plenty of hits for Rathrock, he is a local body builder, ex military, teaches extreme workouts at the local school, has been using his user name Rathrock since his early teens. He posted a selfie an hour ago at his class at the school." He said added.

"Ok Dianasis, Megan and Kalab get to the school and bring him in." Said Yanko as he turned to see Malic storm into the room. "Uthar and Malic, you're with me. Thea keep searching with Kandra for others." Everyone rushed off, Uthar grabbed Malic and took him into one of the rooms and waited for Yanko.

"Right Malic I think we need to talk." Said Yanko as he entered the room. "There is something you need to know about Honsi." He added closing the door.

"Is it that Kandra cheated on Honsi with Kilmer." He said with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Uh... How do you know?" Asked Uthar looking at Yanko confused.

"I had a vision, I saw the time Honsi found them. I found Kandra at the board rubbing out his name then bang I was watching the whole thing unfold. Who was he?" He said as he sat down on a few boxes.

Uthar nodded and left the room, he would leave this story to Yanko to tell as he headed to find Kandra and warn her what was about to happen. Thea was at the computer still, she lifted her head to see Uthar and smiled at him. He walked over to her and she stood up and hugged him, she kissed him gently and took his hand in hers. "It is so good to see you. It has been so long and you still look how I remember you." He smiled and kissed her cheek. "We will have to catch up soon." She said letting him go and getting back to the computer.

Kandra walked into the hall and saw Uthar. "I need to get ot of here." She said to him. "I need some air and I'll get the sacrifice I need for today while I am at it." Walking straight passed him Uthar wondered if it was a good idea to tell her, he decided to just let her go and she walked off with her bow across her back.

Meanwhile Yanko sat explaining to Malic what had happened between Kandra and Kilmer. It didn't seem as bad as it first did. Originally Kilmer was supposed to marry Kandra but after she fell in love with Honsi, Tyther agreed to bind the lovers together in marriage yet Woki detested the union and manipulated Kilmer to seperate them. When Woki managed to deceive Kandra, Honsi went crazy telling Tyher that he wanted the relationship to be over, to break the bond and Tyther said there was only one way. "Tyther could only do so much." Yanko said. "In the end the Necklace provided a way for the bond to be broken and provide a way to means to an end." Yanko looked at Malic. "We hoped you would not remember as it is something that made Honsi hateful. I suppose you are not yet Honsi and finding out now might be the best thing."

Malic got up from the chair and walked out of the room and found Uthar sat with Thea. "I want to train." He said to Uthar who simply nodded, then as he got up he kissed Thea on the cheek and grabbed his sword.

Across town Kandra was stalking a man who had robbed a woman's handbag. As he ducked into an alley she made her move to cut him off. Taking up a position at the end of the alley she notched an arrow and took aim. Then two men in long coats that she instantly recognised as members of the Sons of Oris, walked into the alley cornering the man themselves. The two men seemed to be trying to intimate him so relaxing her arm she put the arrow back and headed across the alley to try and get a better idea of what was going on.

"So you think you're tough do you, stealing handbags from old women." Said one the men, the theif said nothing.

"We can give you a better job, paid well. It'll be safe as we have numbers and it's illegal so right up your line of work." Said the other as he grabbed the theif by the neck. "You just need to answer a few questions." He added looking about the alley.

Kandra could hear them clearly from her concealed position.

"Do you have a sister?" Asked one of the men. The theif shook his head. "Good." He added.

The other man looked at the theif. "Does your father have a sister?" He asked, the theif nodded. "Good good." He said as he grabbed the theif's hand. "One last question."

"What size jacket do you wear?" 

Kandra sneaked clear of them to the other side of the building and headed back toward the opposite alley. What she had heard made little sense, the Sons of Oris were recruiting descendants of Pria, what did they have to gain from it she wondered. Then as she came out of the alley she walked straight into the theif. He wore a long coat like the ones the Orisian had been wearing. Kandra grabbed hold of him and threw him against the wall of the alley. "Why do those men want you?" She barked and the theif simply smiled.

"They didn't say but I am goig to be paid well, unless you can pay better." His grin was widening until in her frustration Kandra drew an arrow from her quiver and rammed the point into the mans knee cap. He screamed in pain and Kandra shot him a look and he shook his head. "I don't know they didn't tell me much." His eyes widened as he watched her remove another arrow. "Ok look." He said in a panic. "They are recruiting people to simply walk the streets. Why they didn't say, I don't know anything else." He shivered in fear as he watched her raise the arrow and relaxed as she put the arrow back.

"Your life is worthless to them, but to me it's vital." The theif looked pleased as he misunderstood, he thought she was going to let him go. Instead she yanked the arrow from his knee and let him go. As he tried to walk his leg gave way and his knee popped as he fell. "Oh you're not going anywhere." She said as she forced him to remove the jacket, she then grabbed the necklace and held it against his chest. The theif tried to catch his breath as the life was drained from him. When the orb glowed the body slumped to the floor and she Kandra walked away carrying the jacket.

Megan stood in the doorway to the sports hall watching the hunk of a man perform a few stretches which those in the class followed enthusiastically. The man they were looking for was six foot two, three hundred pounds and was build like a god. His bald head and facial hair gave him the look of a fighter. Megan could not take her eyes off him. Kalab walked over to her after checking with the front desk that his class was due to finish.

"You go charm him with your wit and me and Dianasis will wait outside. Said Kalab as he eyed the target. "He's not my type." He added jokingly.

As the class finished everyone dispersed to grab their bags and towels so Megan walked in and headed straight for her target. "Mr Daniels is it?" She asked the instructor.

"Yes but my friends call me Rathrock." He held out his hand in greeting.

Megan took his hand and a feeling rushed through her like a wave. "Pleased to meet you." She said suddenly stuck for words.

"What can I help you with?" He asked aware she was struggling to hold the conversation.

"Um..." For a second she had totally forgot why she was there. Then as he turned to walk away she blurted out words without thinking. "I'd like to go to dinner." Before she could stop herself the words were there. "I mean, I need to talk with you. It's about your nickname, Rathrock."

This grabbed his attention, the random kind of offer for dinner was a common surprise but someone asking about Rathrock, that was unusual. "Sure let me grab my stuff and I'll meet you outside then." He said turning back to her before walking off.

"Sure." Replied Megan not realising that she was stood there mouth wide open. When she gathered her senses she headed outside to find the others.

When Rathrock stepped out into the carpark he noticed Megan standing with two others. "So what can I help you with?" He asked as he walked toward them.

"Hi my name is Kalab, this is Megan." He said as he pointed to a love struck Megan. "This is Dianasis." Kalab put his hand out and Rathrock took hold of it and shook it firmly.

"Nice to meet you, but can you tell me what this is all about?" His patients was growing thin.

"This might seem odd us turning up like this." Kalab wasn't able to finish as a group of men in long coats appeared with weapons in hand and rushed at them.

Kalab grabbed his wooden scythe which grew and changed as he had it in his hand. Dianasis armed herself with her mace while Megan flicked her punching spikes from their holsters. Rathrock looked on in amazement. "Oh yeah here's yours." Said Kalab as he threw the newcoming a wooden version of a hammer.

As soon as Rathrock grabbed hold of it, the hammer grew in size, it changed from wood to a heavy metal weapon, but his natural strength made it feel lighter than it was. His amazement didn't subside he simply took firm hold of the weapon and stood beside the others. "These guys have been following me for a few days." He said as he noticed the log coats. "What is goig on?"

"We'll explain when we get out of here. For now lets fight our way free then you'll have to follow us to the library in town." Replied Dianasis.

Almost two hours later Yanko watched the doors to the library burst open. Kalab and the others rushed in and closed the doors. Dianasis rushed to Yanko and threw her arms around him.

"There is alot we need to talk about." Said Yanko as he hugged Dianasis. "Go find the others in the secret library. Rathrock, It's nice to see you, this may all seem a little strange but I'll do my best to bring you up to speed."

They all headed through the library and found the others including Kandra sat waiting for them. Everyone took a seat and waited for Yanko to start. The rest of the evening was taken up with filling everyone in, as well as going over things with Rathrock who seemed more at ease with things than he had thought he would have been.

There was so much going on no one had any idea that the day had almost gone.
