Kane tried to identify the emotion coursing through him at the moment as he walked down the very boring generic office looking hallways in the middle of the night and came to the conclusion that it was in fact, nerves. The war with the angels had been going on far too long sometimes dying down to a lower level spiking to massive raids and conflict that tore into the landscape of both heaven and hell. Things had been at a stalemate within the last year with casualties having piled up on both sides beyond reason. Sure, Kane was immortal, but that didn't mean he couldn't suffer and he had long learned there were fates a lot worse than death especially for a being that could remain in that state of torment indefinitely. Being unable to truly die didn't mean there weren't things for him to fear, far from it, he often wondered if it could earn him a whole new level of torment. He had fought hard on the front lines able to devour souls to fuel his powers and wrecked many angels as well as other beings they had been able to send their way.<br/><br/>Now was not the time to focus on the past though because he had been told that earth was chosen as the neutral ground for the next... visit... from the angel kind. He was to accompany as a guard and there were talks that there would be a discussion but it could all turn ugly very fast and Kane was to be there. In fact, he had gotten word that he had been specifically requested and that's what brought on this case of high strung tension in his body even as he walked calmly as ever in his full armor to the door that would let him know what fate had in store. As one of Lucifer's top Generals, if not the top depending on how you spun it, he wasn't too surprised the angels had taken an interest in him and maybe now they would find a way to entomb him till he lost all sense of time and sanity. Those were the sort of thoughts that stayed with him as the demon beside him offered a glance in his direction. He was shorter than Kane's 6'7" frame but he was an old friend, Ashton, and one of the first sons of Lucifer. One of the few allowed to speak on behalf of the devil himself and he had been friends with Kane for as long as he could remember. "Promise to keep it together no matter what happens in there?"<br/><br/>With Ashton's hands paused on the doorknob Kane had to wonder why he would say that but he gave the only reply he could think would be the right one. "Of course. I'm here to serve." He added but there was a hint of doubt in his tone as Ashton turned the magik'd knob and stopped in the room that looked like any conference room but was warded to hell and back. The door on the other side was where the angels were to enter as there were other demon guards already present on 'their side' of the space lined up and looking somber. Everyone was silent as Kane thought Ashton was going to sit in the chair at one side of the conference table but the older demon motioned for Kane to sit down and he did without hesitation even if Kane could already sense something was off about this meeting and sitting down wasn't an effective way to fight anyone. Ashton put his hand on his shoulder as if keeping his grounded as they waited to confront the enemy and Kane felt ever more like the sacrificial lamb led to the slaughter.
