Legacy of Kain: A Shift in Time
Writen by : Nate Son
AN: This isnt in the actual timeline. More like an alternate timeline, one where the ''Elder God'' and Moebius, have resurrected Raziel. Once again, plunging the Soul Reaver into a state of unballance. But...the sword had been lost throughout the centuries. Now, it's past those times, and Raziel and Kain shal have to face a new problem. It is not their world either...
The Pain of Life
Chapter 1
And again, through the precipice of torture, I found myself yet again in the spectral realm. But this time, it was silent. No wraiths trying to devour the souls that passed. No swirling sound of life streaming by. And the one thing that seemed to not be so comforting: no Elder God.
I stood, feeling the old familiar hunger, the need to devour souls. But this time, there was no other reason save my own survival. I looked around and caught sight of a lost soul that had not followed the natural flow of fate. I reluctantly pulled the cloth that hid my grotesque face from the world and devoured it.
I looked around, taking in the empty, almost erie environment. The place where the Elder God was, seemed devoid of any sign of him ever being there. Save for one large dip that served what I had thought to be where he hung onto the surface. And to that end, I decided to push it to the back of my mind.
I was reborn. I had no idea, or inclination as to why. I had been trapped within the Soul Reaver. For how I did not know why. It seemed it had been an eternity, endless pain and suffering, the likes to wich I would not endear upon no-one. Not even the one who I felt should deserve it. Kain. And yet, I felt relief that I was here. It was familiar territory, yet...different somehow.
I resolved to search around, find my bearings if I could. It had been ages since I had been here, or so it seemed anyway. But it was not the same spectral realm I had grown accustomed to. The place seemed to be out of order. Almost as if centuries had passed and the changes were taking slow progressive jumps.
Had I been pulled into hell? Had fate sought to torture me more with such visions of the world changing around me? And me with no way to pause the events? No. It was not that simple of an answer. I needed to find a way back to the material plane.
Perhaps here I would be able to find the answers to the questions that plaugued my mind. And give me a final absolution as to what was going on. I thought all this while I searched for my portal out of this realm. Hoping I would find my answers soon. And possibly Kain.
