Enjoy!
Raziel could not believe his own eyes. She was kissing him! How could she if he was dead and the most terrifying and ugliest creature alive? Did she try to forget about his appearance? He was shocked when he realized he was kissing back, merely pushing his drape against her lips. Rasha broke the kiss and stood there, waiting for him to leave. Understanding what she wanted, he turned and left, the memory of that kiss burned into him.
Rasha stood there, her heart having been healed due to the fact that now, she knew that Raziel was alive and well. Although he was an Angel of Death, a Soul Reaver, he still held the memories of her and his brothers in him. A hope that had disappeared a long time ago now had regrown in her heart, planting its fertile seeds. She sat down on the bed and lay down, staring at the stone ceiling until she fell asleep.
Raziel
He was still in shock.
'My God. How could she love something like me? A decaying corpse? She must be crazy!'
Unfortunately, the prophecy would be coming true soon, I realized. Rasha would fall in love with me and eventually bear my child, but how? I cannot reproduce anymore. I have lost my reproductive organs, especially my dignity. However, maybe Rasha could do something about it. Maybe...
Rasha
The door opened and a man in full armor stepped in, approaching her and bowing. This was the commander of her armies, Lord Ignatius. He had hidden feelings for her and he showed it often, but she ignored the obvious signs.
"My Lady, the demon has disappeared. All the people thank you for driving it away," he said.
"Uh...okay..." she said nervously.
He bowed before turning and exiting the room. Rasha got up and informed her successor, Katiara, that she was going to be gone for a while and to take care of things while she was gone.
"Are you taking anyone with you, Lady Rasha?" the Vampire woman asked.
"No, this is a personal journey. I don't want anyone getting hurt."
Rasha stepped into her room and came out a few minutes later dressed in her traveling clothes with her bow, sword, and whip strapped to her. Katiara and the numerous maids, servants, soldiers and captains bowed, wishing her good luck.
Rasha stepped out of the Humans' Citadel and breathed in the fresh air from the water and the forest beside it. From out of the corner of her eye, she could have sworn she had seen a moving object. Shaking it out of her mind, she began walking in the direction of her father's abode, Janos Audron. She still contained some memory of her father as a human and still, he WAS her father. Something in the bushes rustled and Rasha sent an arrow flying straight into it. She heard a groan and went behind the bushes to find...Raziel! She had pinned him by the shoulder to a tree and the arrow had him stuck firmly.
"Raziel!? I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else!" she exclaimed as she gripped the arrow and tugged, the arrow coming out of the wood.
A smile crept onto her lips as she returned the projectile into her enchanted quiver. Raziel stood there, rubbing his shoulder to ease the pain.
"I'm sorry," she said in a hushed voice.
"It's alright. It's my fault for scaring you," he replied, regaining his composure and facing her. He nearly towered over her like he had when he had been alive.
"Where are you headed Raziel?"
"The Ash City where Dumah dwells. What about you?" he asked, looking at her.
"I'm off to see my father, Janos Audron. It's been nearly an eternity since I've seen him," she said bowing her magnificent head.
"Father? I thought Kain was our father?" he said, shocked.
"Janos was my father when I was human."
"Hmmmmm...it's confusing to me," he said, scratching his head, "Oh well. We're going our separate ways. I'll see you later."
"Farewell, dear brother," she said, leaning up and giving him a kiss. She turned to leave, but he grabbed her and turned her to him again. In a fruitless attempt to kiss her, he pushed his clan drape against her lips, making it seem like it was a kiss. He released her after that kiss and she smiled before turning and beginning to walk away, until...
"Rasha..."
She stopped and turned back to him, her eyes searching his face.
"Do you have the power to return me to my normal Vampire self temporarily?" he asked.
"Yes...why do you ask?" she said, her eyebrows arching.
"No reason. Be on your way, dear sister," he said, turning his back to her.
Slowly, the siblings turned away from each other and walked in the separate direction.
Hope you enjoyed!
