Death and despair filled the air, weighing down on everyone's spirits during what should be a happy time of year. A few bodies still scattered about on the streets with several buildings half destroyed. Remnants of the harsh reality of this world we live in. Local law enforcement was no match for the local mob and their rivalries, allowing chaos to prevail once again.

Friends and foes, both slain, their blood flowing down the drain. Koehler stood next to Kairi, lost in his thought grieving the loss of his dear friend and partner in crime Hutch_Mansell. Koehler glanced down at his hands, holding a set of keys to a rather desolate building. It wasn't ideal, but with enough effort and care, it could become something beautiful once again, just as it were when it was first constructed.

Koehler glanced up at Kairi and extended his arms for a hug. Gripping her tight, a single tear fell from his eye. "Thank you for this opportunity, Godmother. I won't let you down." He turned to face the rest of the room, where Allie, SantoRubio and Sven were standing idly by as they let the emotions flow free. "I would, of course, like to thank each of you for blessing me with this opportunity. Again, I won't let you down and I look forward to seeing what we can all achieve together. To New York!"

Koehler saluted his imaginary glass and made a toast. Drinking now, when he had so much work ahead of him to bring Eden back to life, was not a good idea. He turned around and stared at the building in front of him. His new HQ, befitting the name Desolation of Eden. Koehler put the key into the lock, turned it swiftly and opened the door. He disappeared behind the broken glass, entering the dimly lit building with a fiery passion burning inside him.
