Raziel's Redemption
(Disclaimer: I don't own Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver. Soul Reaver belongs to Edios and Crystal Dynamics, and I'm not making any money off of this.)
Well it's done, I have devoured Kain's worthless soul and watched with extreme satisfaction as his mutated body burned to ashes, now I ask myself, what do I do now? The humans in the near by walled stronghold worship me like some demonic angle from God, the poor fools are so desperate they'll believe anything. I don't deserve to be treated like a god, but I am not going to tell them other wise least they go back to trying to kill me. To be truthful I belong no where, not with the remaining vampires who managed to escape my hell bent wrath, nor do I belong with my… source of nourishment.
I now feel depleted inside, my reason for living again is gone. Dumah, Melchiah, Zephon, Rahab, and Turel along with Kain have since been claimed my avenging hunger and the Elder. I guess he has no use for me now that he can spin his "Wheel of Fate" as he calls it, again. I haven't hear from him since my victory over Kain not two hours ago, which leads me to believe that e has no purpose for me now.
I look out over the balcony of Melchiah's prison fortress to see the "domesticated" humans cheering wildly and pumping their fists into the air. They are praising me, why not let them. NO! That is Kain's soul trying to corrupt me, I won't become the next ruler of the humans! I may as well let them go, no use keeping them in slavery, I am not even a vampire anymore, and I really don't have to drain them of their souls; just take a sip. The humans refused to go at first when I broke their manacles and told them t leave. They wanted me to stay and be their king forever, while this was flattering, I still basically kicked them out of Nosgoth. Now maybe the land will be revived to it's former glory before my ex-brethren plagued it, I appreciated natures beauty unlike most vampires.
My next task was to leave, leave this accursed place and go some where else. I wish to put all vampires and Nosgoth out of my memory forever, though their actions still cross my thoughts like a appalling odor. I left, the only material thing I brought with me was cloak that not only covered the lower half of my face but hid my acid washed body as well, drifting down to my feet. As I began my journey to only god knows where the heavy clouds that I had known for so long began to part. "Must be Aerial's doing." I muttered as the sun actually began to show through the smog, not just a small patch but full sunlight. My eyes began to blink uncontrollably, I almost thought the sun would scorch my skin but, no, I long since over come my vampiric weaknesses. The golden orb's warming rays were actually comforting to my wretched existence. A fresh wave of optimism engulfed my thoughts, now just maybe, the world will be set right. I no longer see my former quest for vengeance as that, but as a redemption for serving Kain's megalomaniac wills, and this life giving life was enough of an award for me as I walked to the south, my back to the bane of my life and my set to a hopeful future.
This is my first Soul Reaver fic, so no flames, constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated as well as a review!!!!
