From the gates of Hell

[Jinko]

It had been much too long since he had been able to walk these lands again. Guilt had set in and his longing to see familiar faces had overcome him at last. He sighs softly as he pushes the gate leading to the gardens open, taking in the sights and smells he had grown to love in times past. His appearance had changed slightly, his form now being at a clean seven foot in height and his weight having increased to 320lbs of added muscle, giving him the appearance of a hulking giant even moreso than before. He chuckles slightly when he learns that he has to turn himself diagonally to fit through the single opened gate to avoid getting stuck and breaking his way through. His face held the appearance of a youthful man who had seen everything the world had to offer and then some. He had changed his hairstyle after a conflict between himself and an old, dear friend of his in his recent travels. His attire matched that of a vagabond left to roam the streets seeking a home in an alleyway as he had chosen to live while he was away.

There was something else about him to, the way he carried himself gave light to a certain emptiness, most noteably in his face that was now set in an eternal scowl as though he hadn't been able to smile for centuries. He had stepped down as the ruler of the entire underworld, leaving himself with the option to return should he decide to or if the need for that sort of power arise he could simply call forth the Hammer of the Damned and grip its haft once more. Though at the moment this burden was lifted from his shoulders until that fatal moment when it was needed.

[Blades]

Smirking and leaned against the wall just inside the gardens. "You smell of death and hell. How charming." Snickering softly to herself. Her right gloved hand resting just behind her shoulder and just rested there. "This place is new since the old one was destroyed. I do hope you are a friend and not a foe sir." Not worried in the least of the height difference between this man and herself.

[Jinko]

He stops when he hears the female's voice, looking over in her direction. He looks the female over with a raised brow, thinking over his words carefully. "I am aware of what has befallen this place. I was there at the head of a legion of demons to assist the coven. I have long been its protector though I was pulled away on business. I have returned now, simply because I can." He says, his voice gruff and almost harsh. This was unintentional as he had always spoke as such. "Who might I ask, are you? Your face is new to me." He says eyeing her again curiously.

[Blades]

Smirked at his tone of voice. Her own was cold and emotionless. Pushing off the wall and walked closer to him. Offering out a gloved hand, "My name ia Blades I am Lita and Kensu's baby sister. Pleasure to meet you good sir. me and a few otber death clan memebers sadly arrived after the mess but we have been lending a hand to help rebuild this place to its former glory." He right hand now resting at her side. She would only stand at 5'9 yet her hilt of her 6 foot clawmore kept in height with her as she looked at him. Pushing back the hood to expose the emerald green eyes and pitch black atrandes of hairthat fell over flawless pale facial features.

[Jinko]

Looking down at the female when she approach he inclines a brow. At the introduction he nods once. "Jinko Windslav. Former King of Hell, currently on hiatus from the same. You're related to Lita and Kenshu? Interesting..." He says as he takes the offered hand, his own encasing the female's. "Those two are dear friends of mine." He adds matter-of-factly. A light, half-smirk tugs at the corner of his lip, but not getting too far. "Nice meeting a new face as well." He adds with a nod, releasing her hand and replacing his own in his pocket as he looks this female over. "I'm sure the leaders appreciate the help."

[Blades]

Grinned slightly at him. "So you are the overgrown walking bolder my sister spoke of."She couldnt help but chuckle at the things she had been told about this man. "Also heard you were a big softie as well." She was teasing him of course. It was the best way to get to know another person.

[Jinko]

A slight growl rises in his chest at the female's words. "I am more than likely the one your sister spoke of." he says, turning now to face her fully, looking down at her. "I'm curious to know what exactly has been said about me." he adds with a raised brow. The softy comment had not gone unheard, there was a time when he'd eviserate one who would call him such however, he would let it go sonce the accuser was related to two of his closest friends. "Watch what you say. I may have grown soft over the years but that has not change my resolve in fighting. I can and will still destroy a person who were to challenge me and place their corpse on a spike for the world to see, should they pose threat to me and mine of course." he says indifferently, who was he kidding? He had grown too caring of those close to him to deny it.

[Blades]

Smirked at him. Reading his body language as she shrugged. "You say one thing yet your body says another Jinko. Besides Im not stupid enough to pick a fight with you. You would beat me hands down." She lit a cigarette and offered him one with a smill grin. "I was raised by the ruthless death clan but I know to pick my fights"

[Jinko]

"So you are smart. Rare thing to find one of the Death clan not absorbed in their pride. Well...aside from Lita and her twin." he says with another half-assed attempt at a smirk. He accepts the offered cigarette, placing it between his lips and taking a flame to the end of it. "My thanks." he says simply as he takes a drag off the cigarette, blowing a single large smoke ring. "What do you mean my body speaks differently, by the way?"

[Blades]

Smirked at him. "You say to watch what I say and yet I know you will not harm me. You have grown softer. You would only do something if I attacked you first." She winked at him knowinv full well what he meant by his comment about the Deaths. She was one of the few who did not see the point in boasting on power.

[Jinko]

He growls at her softly, his eyes narrowing before he sighs and shakes his head. "I suppose you're right. I have become soft over the years." he says as he drags off the cigarette. He was confident she wouldn't attack, not wanting to bring destruction to the new estate after so much work had been put into it. After all she already had said that he would be able to crush her much to his suprise given her lineage. He leaves the subject behind now, hooking a thumb into the front most belt loop in his jeans. "You're an interesting member of that family. Is it blood that ties you to them? Or does something else keep you by their side?" he says not meaning to question the Death family's loyalty to one another, he was merely curious to know.

[Blades]

Chuckles softly. "When I was younger when the Death clan was at its most strongest. I was human dwelling and training with them. KnOT the death clan leader took me in when I was about ten and ever since I have been with them. It was only about fifteen years ago that I became blood line to them. Now there is only a handful of us now which is sad since I have finished my things here will be returning home with another Death clan member. Known as Blackblood."

[Jinko]

Taking in all that was said he nods. "Sounds an eventful history to say the least. If only it were so simple with everyone." He says with a shrug. "You'll be leaving then? Pity, you were the first to give a greeting upon my return. I've been away for quite some time." He adds, finishing off his cigarette and flicking the butt clear over the garden gate on the other side of the area.

[Blades]

Grinned at him as the butt came back to smack him softly in the head as she shrugged innocently. "Not yet but soon. But it was indeed a pleasure to meet with you and do hope you will keep my lovely big sisters company once more." she winked and finished off her own cigarette. The butt seemed to turn to ash before blowing away in the wind.

[Jinko]

A brow arcs as the butt hits his head, only to fall into a hole seemingly filled with fire that closes up soon after the butt was disposed of. "It is a pleasure to meet you, I agree." he fishes another cigarette from his pocket and lights it. "And Inhave no intention of leaving tour sisters. They are close to my heart." he shrugs and drags off his new cigarette lightly.
