Reflection of My Life: Zephon
Written by Ryoken, information given by Zephon, and his brothers
I've always been looked down upon by my brethren. Teased for my, how can I put this delicately, ability, I usually stay within my cathedral, where the only ones around me are my kin, though I do not let my brothers' nature interfere with the way I am. In fact, it only encourages me. If you aren't as dumb as you look, you would know by now that I am Zephon, 4th born of Kain's sons.
The eldest, Raziel, was always the favored one, always the luckiest of us all. I despised him so, as did most of us. To you, it would seem this is because he was the first to be born, but this is not entirely so. We always knew that our father, Kain, had a liking towards Raziel for some odd reason, but we never could put our claw on why. Saying that Kain favors him just because he was first would only prove one's ignorance. One of these days I must uncover the reason for his favoritism.
Perhaps it was this very favoritism that caused humans to flock to Raziel. That or his good-looks, which was probably it. I, on the unfortunate other hand, have never truly had humans come begging to me. I don't truly mind very much, but it does get boring a little in my cathedral at times*chuckles*.
That reminds me of...her. She was probably the best thing that happened to me. She had black raven hair and gray eyes. She wasn't the greatest looking woman I had ever laid my eyes on, but the beauty inside of her made up for any flaws on the outside. She had been kind, but also mischievous. If it weren't for that, I would never have met her. She had been hiding behind a corner in a village that my clan and I were ravaging. I had gone off in search of survivors, so as to kill them, and a hunter caught me off guard and shot an arrow at me. It had narrowly missed my heart, I recall her saying when I regained consciousness and she had pulled it out. I feel so foolish now for questioning her acts and turning away from her. I don't even know why I turned her into one of my own. Perhaps it was because she might have saved my life. But how I grieved when I learned of her death, three months later!!
Bah, enough of this sappy regret. Love is for the weak. Let us move on to something more...sinister. Like the time I tried to frighten our dear brother, Raziel. I was scaling the outer walls of his territory when I saw his window, wide open. I took the opportunity to keep him on his toes. When I spied in on him, he was busying himself with feeding. I did my best to sneak up on him but one of the damn boards in the floor gave me away. Raziel didn't seem to notice who it was he had punched out the window until I was already plunging towards my death. When he rushed to the window and I saw him, I must have cursed at him for about a minute as I tried my best to hang onto the wall below. Hmm, mayhap that was not the best of my memories to reminisce about.
Then there were the worshippers. It was always difficult to bargain with the likes of them, no matter how much they patronized you. I remember I had to almost literally pay an arm and an eye for them to actually live in my citadel. Even if they did worship me to the fullest, they were very fussy about where they lived *sighs*. Thankfully, Kain, er, convinced them to do as I bid them, heh.
Ahh, the good old days when war reigned Nosgoth. As with Dumah, I have always loved the sight of the battlefield. To feel the power within me course through my veins as I decapitated the human's foolish army. To almost be able to taste the blood that a reaped from them. To...oh, where was I?
Ahh yes, I must tell you of a HUGE mistake the humans have made about myself. Though yes, I sometimes stay within the walls of my cathedral, I do not plot against my brothers OR Kain. In fact, I'M the scholar in the family, not Rahab. He's hardly read a book in his whole unlife!! Rahab- I'll have you know that I have too!! Zephon- I will let my brother tell you more of this little fact that is not so well-known. Personally, I would like to know where it says that Rahab is the bookworm, Raziel and Turel are the "pimps", as you humans do so put it, and where it says I am the evil one, who is always plotting against my brothers to humiliate them or something!! But enough of this discussion about my brothers. This is supposed to be about myself, is it not?
I believe that my brother Raziel has already told you of my boredom with regular wall-climbing, hasn't he? Yes, I see. Quite the embarrassing moment, considering the fact that my brothers were there to watch. But I suppose it was a good thing that they were. I might never have gotten out until some fledgling found me. It's good to have brethren such as them, I suppose. They can be a little cranky at times, but all the same, they seem more than just the vampires that I rule with.
Ok yes, I know it's been a while!! And I mean a WHILE!! But you know how it is, it's hard to get stories outta these guys!! Plus the fact that I have all these other stories to update too. I might be getting another one up soon, so hang on to yer pants, hehe!!!
