Enshi

The ‘Enshi’ is first mentioned in Ellie’s fight with a demonic reaper outside her school, the night after her 17th birthday. The reaper says ‘We don’t even need the Enshi. I’ll kill you myself.’

When they see Nathaniel in the library on Saturday about the Enshi, he translates it as Lord of Life. After looking into it further using books, they see that the Enshi is associated with the seal of Azrael, the Destroyer. They are confused because if the Enshi served Azrael, then there’s no reason for Bastian to want it. They conclude that the demonic knows something they don’t, because there is more to the Enshi than merely killing Ellie - as she would only be reincarnated again.

It is confirmed that Bastion wants the Enshi to destroy Ellie’s soul, during her fight with Ragnuk at the night of her birthday party.

Ivar calls Ragnuk off on his attack on Ellie a week later, saying that there is ‘a development’ on the Enshi. It is suggested that the Enshi could destroy Ellie’s soul.

Nathaniel finds a possible location on the Enshi two weeks before Halloween. They are confronted by a demonic vir upon finding the Enshi, but dispatch him quickly. They are soon confronted by Geir, a powerful demonic vir. They manage to skewer him by the chest on the lance of a stone knight before fleeing with the Enshi.

A few weeks later, Nathaniel meets Will and Ellie at the warehouse to tell them that the Enshi was locked up in the sarcophagus three hundred years before the birth of Christ
