The Nephilim's Promise

Eli laughed. “Yes and no. Yes, I can live a very long time. And no, there are certain things that can kill me, I suppose. I guess if a human cut off my head, I could die. I’ve never heard of any Nephilim dying that way. But the flaming sword of an angel—the same type that is mentioned in the Garden of Eden—can banish evil spirits and kill Nephilim.
