Meeting

The large clock hanging upon the marble wall of Eden Estate chimed as manifestation of midnight. It should be time for the meeting. Kenneth Calhoun's mind, working like a set of agile, long networks, extending to reach out into the mental world. He mused the process, absently comparing it to the internet. Indeed, the mind of most people is opened to him, gates left apart to allow him passage and understanding. Searching the adjacent territory with his adroit mentality, he waited for the appearance of his ally in The Chain of Souls.

The long, elegant table was set. Kenneth sat upon the left, and the seat opposite him had a cup, plate, and utensils in place. Slices of roast were layered upon a glass plate, for his guest and him to devour. Indeed, Kenneth is the best anyone can possibly hope for in a host. Extending his limb, he grasped a cup, lifting it to his lips to take a sip of coffee.

Placing the cup back onto the saucer, he brushed silky tendrils of dark red hair aside, tucking them behind his ear. Oculuses, a brighter tinge of crimson, stared intensely at the floor. Ken had sent all the servants to bed. No one would dare disturb them now.

Should be here anytime now...

Seraph stepped out of an unmarked car on the curb by the gate of the large estate. He wanted no one around for this meeting. The large, black, iron gates towered ominously over the man, though he hardly noticed their height. He typed in the six digit numerical code and waited for the familiar confirmation tone. Moments later the gates swung inward and he was on his way up the drive, a ridiculous seven minute walk.

"Eden," he whispered in a silky voice. He always used the time it took to walk to the doors to survey the estate, looking for gaps in it's defenses, flaws in it's design. Whenever they were spotted they were later corrected. This day he saw nothing wrong with the building itself. It's towers, arch ways and pillars were all in pristine condition, though the western wall seemed to have a small crack starting at the top. It would be fixed within twelve hours or the entire maintenance staff for the compound would be replaced.

As he made the final few steps towards the door he stopped the focusing technique that father had taught him to mask his prescence from the telepathic and thought I'm here. Afterwards he turned the left nob of the large oak door and stepped inside.

Ken's fine, tall figure was standing by then, near the window. Eyeing the surroundings absently, he noted once again how beautiful the scenary is. The very inside and outside decoration of Eden Estate is not of pointless gaudiness; the appeal is in the way nature sculped the very area, making it natural and elegant. Indeed, Ken is quite found of his noble abode. Even though the forces of nature provided the appearance, Ken made sure there would be the tightest protection. No one would be able to attack them here.

The name in itself was chosen well. Eden, as remembrance of the glory of the former realm. The cultural town of Aenied, Nede, is Eden spelt backwards. These signified the significance of Eden's influence upon the whole of Aenied. How unfortunate it is, indeed, that Ken could not retrieve fully the history of Eden. The people and times are long gone. It would be difficult, even now, to find someone who could tell him a story of it. This almost saddened Ken, for the past glory of Eden is great indeed, rich and immense, full of tragedies and joyous tales.

Then the door opened. Ken's anatomy shifted, turning as his wide optics locked upon Seraph. By then, his trained mind ran, expanding and throwing a psionic net over the area, for the sake of being wary of intruders. He swept his slender hand across the air, indicating the food and drinks upon the table. Stepping closer, Ken offered a fleeting, faint smile, and words slipped from his parted lips, "How has the Souls been, Seraph?"
