Devil's Omen
Chapter 1 – Another Dimension
The mists shifted, revealing a muscular, hooded figure silently trudging up the mountain. His feet were like sheets of paper upon snow, noiseless. He might have seemed human from a distance. But up close, a haunting visage would greet the brave soul who dared look the vampire lord Kain in the eyes. Kain climbed Moebius' cave soundlessly; an impossible feat for a human. The Chronoplast chamber, the site of Kain's historic battle with his former lieutenant Raziel, still held some promise for him.
A cold wind momentarily swept his flowing hair towards the south-west. His head unconsciously turned to that direction and beheld a sight he cherished in his imaginary heart. The Pillars of Nosgoth, white and pristine, cleansed of Nupraptor's madness. He smiled, but his heart burned due to what he had lost in the bargain. He had tried hard to save Raziel from the omnipotent tendrils of fate, but in vain. He had gained the Soul Reaver, in which the soul of Raziel lay fettered. Yet he had returned the Reaver to its proper era, as he knew better than to create additional paradoxes. History, he had told Raziel, abhors a paradox.
Recently he had discovered, that Moebius the Timestreamer, whom he had killed and Raziel reaved, had created a portal to another, different dimension. Curious to see what interest Moebius might have had with another dimension, he had set out to find answers.
Traversing the cave was an easy chore to do, as he had already done it before. The frozen corpses were still bound in the ice. Nothing had changed. In five minutes, the door to the Chronoplast stood before him.
The tiered walkways and the large portal held no interest for Kain. He knew what he had to do. Summoning his strength, he aimed a Telekinetic bolt at the structure hanging from the ceiling. The energy left his body and hit the structure with an ominous sound. The structure was thrown backwards, as if by a shockwave. Before it could return to its original position, Kain shot it again. The ancient structure collapsed! Waves of energy flowed from its arms and formed a temporary circle before Kain. He smiled; then in an enormous vault jumped right into the portal, into the arms of destiny.
