Blood Feud
Chapter 2: The Slayers meet the lord of Nosgoth
As Kain walked towards the four adventurers he noticed the strength that they had. 'That redhead is the strongest of them. That blue skinned fellow is the second strongest. The young woman behind him is third and the blonde is a weak as cow.' 'Welcome." He announced trying to keep his cool and not trying to feed on these four. "Welcome, all of you. Turel has told me much about your adventures." He walked over to the red head. "You must be Lina Inverse." "That's right. The beautiful sorcery genius." "Yeah right." A humanoid Turelim vampire whispered to his comrade. Unfortunately for him, Lina had heard what he said. "FIREBALL!" she yelled as the fireball incinerated the vampire into ash. "Oops." She said as the ashes were blown away a draft from an open window. "Don't worry about him. He was incompetent anyway." "What's your game Vampire?" Zel said right up to his face. Kain grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up to eye level. "If this was my home chimera, I would have killed you for being insolent. Since this is not my home I just won't dignify your question with an answer." He dropped Zel on the floor and walked out of the room.
"I'm sorry for my master but he does not like it he is threatened and getting up in his face to him is a threat. Perhaps I should explain the reason why I brought you here." Turel said as he led them to a table filled with food. Lina and Gourry dug into the food while Amelia was fretting over Zelgadis while he was trying to tell her that he was all right. Turel watched them until finally he clapped his hands to get their attention. "As you all know I have asked for your help in dealing with a demon that destroyed my homeland. His name is Raziel and at one time I used to call him brother. But my master Kain believed that Raziel was going to take over the throne and had him killed." "Why did he believe that Raziel was going to take over the throne?" Lina asked taking a quick pause from eating and after asking the question went back to the food.
"As your friend Zelgadis figures it out Kain and myself are vampires. Unlike the vampires here as we grown older we evolve to higher beings. Raziel had the audacity to evolve before our master. And Kain believed that evolving before him Raziel would grow stronger and overthrow Kain. Centuries had passed since then and then news about Raziel coming back from the dead as a devourer of souls. I didn't believe the rumors until news of our youngest brother Melchiahs' death came to me. I fled to this world hoping to escape his wrath. But it seems that Kain knew Raziel would come after us and led him here. I do hope that stories about you are true." "Don't worry Mister Turel, justice will triumph over vengeance." Amelia said. Everyone except Turel had a huge sweat drop on his or her heads. "I hope so cause since Kain came here Raziel has gotten much stronger than he would have been if he wasn't killed."
Meanwhile Raziel was flying over a large town when suddenly the soul
reaver gave him a jolt of pain. 'What is with this confounded blade?' Raziel
thought as he crashed in the center of town. 'Raziel…' the Elder's voice
rang through his head. 'The wraith blade has evolved just as you did when
you devoured Cell's soul. It now needs to have a corporeal form or else
it'll take over your body and use your energy to fuel itself.' Raziel spotted
a blacksmith's shop and immediately ran inside. Inside he grabbed the nearest
sword and by magic the blade took the form of the soul reaver. The shop
owner looked on as Raziel walked out of the store with the changed blade
and flew off in into the clouds. He flew till he sensed where Kain was.
He then noticed another familiar presence with Kain. "So Turel, you're
here as well. Soon you will join our brothers in the afterlife. As for
you Kain beware for the angel of death waits for your soul as well. Your
days are numbered. You will realize that now with these new powers you
shall never escape MY WRATH!" Raziel then laughed manically and then suddenly
stopped. 'Boy, Cell sure did have some weird personalities in him. He then
flew off towards Kain and Turel leaving a blue streak behind him.
