Weee! My first published fan fic! Maybe now I'll actually have the incentive to actually finish one of my stories.
Disclamer: I do not own any of the Legacy of Kain people. I do however own the Duke of Edinburough team who you'll meet in
chapter 2. Also, I do not own the actuall DoE expidition itself, that belongs to the Queen.
Kain & co go camping
Chapter 1
It's a wonderful bright sunny day at the campsite, and all the vampire lords are snuggled up asleep in their tents. Unfortunately, they could only find three tents, so some of the vampire lords had to share. Raziel, Turel, and Dumah share the green tent, Rahab, Zephon and Melchia share the orange tent, and Kain gets a tent all to himself. His tent incidentally, is grey with pale blue sections.
The previous night
"Rahab, do you have any idea how to put these tents up?" Zephon asked impatiently as he finished emptying the tent parts on the ground in front of him. Rahab sighed and replied, "Just because one of my servants found them, dosen't mean I know how to put them together." Melchia walked over to the pile of parts and picked a piece of paper out of it. "Erm… We could try reading the instructions." He suggested, holding up the piece of paper. Zephon gave Melchia a sidelong glance and scowled, "Humph, I don't need any stupid instructions to put a simple cloth-and –frame structure of some pathetic mortal's making!" With this, he picked up two poles and started slotting them together. Rahab and Melchia stood and watched him for a while, until Melchia looked at the instruction leaflet in his hand and said to Zephon, "I think you'll find they're colour coded." Zephon ignored him and continued to battle with a red and blue pole. Rahab sighed and rolled his eyes. "Zephon, the poles are colour coded! That means-''
"I know exactly what that means!" Zephon snapped at him. Melchia sighed, shook his head slowly, and went to sort out the other parts of the tent.
Meanwhile, Raziel, Turel and Dumah were similarly perplexed as to how to put up their own tent. "I think we should start by putting together these poles." Dumah said assertively. "Yes, but I think they need to go together in a particular way." Turel replied.
"What makes you think that?" Dumah asked his brother with a blank expression.
"Well," Raziel explained to his younger brother, "these poles have green on them, and those poles have red on them."
"Oh, I see!" said Dumah, suddenly enlightened. "So we put the poles with the same colours on together!"
"Yes!" Raziel and Turel said together, relieved that Dumah finally understood. Once they had this colour-code idea sorted out, putting up the tent was a breeze.
However, while all this was going on, Kain didn't bother putting up his tent. Instead he sat under a nearby tree and watched his sons squabble amongst themselves about how to put up the tents.
The truth is that Kain had no idea about putting up tents. Very occasionally when he did have to sleep in a tent, it had always been some servant who had the task of setting it up. Now however, he regretted not ever watching a tent being put up. So now he watched his sons put up their tents, and learned from their mistakes; so when it came to putting up his own tent, he could do it flawlessly, and once again he would look like the all-knowing ruler of Nosgoth.
