-Willow walked down a red brick pathway, phone against her ear. "Uncle, do I really need to explore Imp City? I heard Sinners aren't welcome there." Over the phone a voice responded, "it's best that you know all of Pride, including Imp City". Willow sighed and hung up. It seemed she had no choice but to explore Imp City.
-it was as she was turning a corner that a wall of water blocked her way. Shocked she backed away and stumbled, falling ungracefully on her ass. Looking around she couldn't find who produced the wall of water. She tried to touch it and when she did she felt ice trickle down her spine like dread and she instinctively pulled away. This water used dark magic for sure.
-"Sinners aren't allowed here you know," came a new voice. Willow whipped her head around in circles, looking for the voice. The wall of water collapsed on itself and reformed into a short, stout water being before her.
-She had one fuchsia eye with a heart shaped pupil and appeared to be made entirely out of water. Her ears stood long and straight up like that of a bunny. "This is my turf, leave before I burn your face off," she hissed. Willow flinched. "You don't understand, IMP hired me to help clean Imp City and my Uncle wants me to explore all of Pride. I'm not on vacation," she reasoned. The water demoness lifted a ball of boiling water up to Willow's face. "I don't want to hurt you but I will if you don't turn your tail and get out," she warned.
-As the two spoke Loona was passing by, a bag of fast food in her hand. When she noticed Willow she waved her down. "Willow!" She called out. Willow turned her attention to the Hellhound. "Thanks for that tea, it fixed up my sore throat in an instant," she said. The water nymph blinked.
-"Loona, you know this Sinner?" She inquired. Loona nodded her head. "Yeah, she helps out all the Hellborns. It's great to see you in Imp City," she added to Willow. "Don't mind Nixie, she's just protective of us. But really Nix, Willow is cool. She's a doctor, she heals, she doesn't hurt anyone." So this water nymph was named Nixie. Willow turned to Nixie. "Seriously, I'm not here to hurt any Hellborns. I just want to help." Willow pleaded her case. Nixie took a deep breath, closing her eye. "Fine, you can stay. But if I see one foot out of line I'll chase you out of here myself." Willow released a breath of air she didn't realize she was holding. Nixie, the only Hellborn Overlord, was allowing her to stay in Imp City.

-Nixie wrapped a boulder in magic water and lifted it from the ground, tossing it with other rocks. Her turf was a mess after some asshole Sinners came along and tore it up. She knew who they were and they'd get their just desserts. Nixie puffed, bending over and leaning up to stretch her spine. "This is bullshit," she muttered.
-"It is, but we'll be done soon." Willow soothed. Nixie had enlisted Willow's help in clearing her turf. Willow claimed the rocks would be good for poisons she made to attack dangerous Sinners. Loona was busy sweeping away small debris and sticks left over from the bonfire the Sinners had the night before.
-the sound of footsteps far away alerted Nixie and she turned, her ears pricked for noise. Narrowing her eye she spied a Sinner slipping into an abandoned building. That wasn't good news. "Willow, do you have any poison on you?" Nixie asked in a hurried tone. Willow nodded. "I keep a vile just in case," she replied. "Good, I spotted a Sinner following an Impling into that building over there. Come with me, both of you." Willow prepared a needle of poison and Loona bared her teeth.
-Nixie, Willow and Loona entered the building and climbed up two flights of creaky stairs. Nixie made it up first and was met with the Sinner she saw earlier, cornering a young Impling. The Sinner had his hands out to grasp the Impling between her legs. Something snapped in Nixie's head and she went into full attack mode.
-Nixie flung herself at the Sinner and bit down into his arm where his artery was. Her sharp incisors pierced skin and muscle, blood spurted from the exposed artery. The Sinner gasped and pulled away, placing a hand on his arm in a vain attempt to stop the bleeding. Nixie licked the blood off her lips with a purr and sprang back into action.
-Nixie aimed a punch at the Sinner's nose but instead hit his eye, punching it so hard that blood vessels burst and blood poured from his eyes like fresh tears. Willow flung herself into action. "Nixie, hold his arms back while I shoot him up!" Nixie begrudgingly took orders from a Sinner and held the offenders arms back while Willow fought to get the needle in his throat. She was aiming for his esophagus but instead landed in the masseter muscle in his jaw. It would take a while for the poison to take effect and kill him, too long for Nixie to hold him back. Loona rushed in, burying her teeth in his throat and ripped his esophagus out. A high pitched whistle escaped where his throat was. Nixie used her teeth to finish the job and tore out chunks of muscle until she reached the spinal cord and she ripped it in half, tearing off meat until the Sinner's head was no longer connected to his body. All three women were soaked in his blood. Nixie licked the blood from her face with a satisfied purr. She approached Willow and Loona and used her magic water to clean them.
-after having cleaned everyone she turned to the Impling in the corner, shaking terribly. Willow knew she must be traumatized by what she'd just witnessed. Nixie approached her slowly. "Hello sweetheart, what's your name?" The Impling responded with the name Heather. Nixie picked her up bridal style and turned around. "Should we go to IMP's office to keep her safe?" Nixie inquired. Willow scoffed. "You can do that if you want but there's four more pervs down the road." Nixie narrowed her eye. She passed Heather to Loona. "Take her to the office until we can find her parents, this Sinner and I have some business to take care of."
