How You Remind Me
An Original/Legacy Of Kain Songfic to Nickelback's "How You Remind Me"
Author:Adam Brown
Pairings: Kani/Some woman (Just for some light refreshment. You love it!)
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I'm not making any money from this, Legacy of Kain, and the characters from it are owned by Silicon Knights, Kani is mine, so is the woman in chapter 2 onwards, basically, if you can't recognise the character name, then it's mine. "How You Remind Me" is the property of Nickelback/ their record label. No animals were hurt in the writing of this fic (Well, maybe the plot bunny was, but no others!)
Notes: This is just like a background check on my character of Kani. It's his story coming from me. I suppose I'm just like him. He's kinda got a place inside me, just like Asuka with Yuko Miyamura (Get yerself a copy of NGE volume 3 to find out what I mean). Pronunciation guides given to help
you get the names right(you wouldn't believe how many people mis-pronounce Seraphin and Raziel!). Oh yeah, this was written over Easter, mixed with late nights and Creme Eggs. Creme Eggs tend to get me a bit hyper, so do late nights when I've been up all day working in my parents garden shifting rubble and other crap!!! Damn plot bunnies keep attacking me at awkward times, like 12am! BTW If you listen to the right kind of music, you might find that when you write, it might come out a bit more fluid, and understandable.

**********
I never made it as a wise man,
Couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing,
Tired of living like a blind man.
Sick of sight without the sense or feeling.
And this is how,
You remind me of what I really am...
This is how,

"I'm fed up of this damn running all the time. Isn't there something we can
do about it?" Kani asked Vorador, who was resplendant in his armor, fighting
to protect the young person who was entrusted to him.
"Well, if you want to pick up a sword and fight alongside us, then you'd
another pair of hands we've got, and then you'd be another target for the
Seraphin dogs to kill, and they won't hesitate in doing that either..."
Vorador said to the young man, after dispatching yet another villager who'd
gathered arms to fight the vampires.
Turning to the man who'd just crumpled after being struck by another blow
from the vampires, Kani looked death in the eye for the first time since
Kain had been sent to hell, after turning so many people to his cause, and
it reminded him of why Kain had chosen him to continue on his struggle. Next
to him was Raziel (pro. Ray-zee-el), Kain right hand man, and a warrior who
was unsurpassed in skill, even making the legendary Malak (pro. Mal-ack) of
the Seraphin's skills seem dull. As he looked, Raziel stared at him, almost
commanding him to do what he does. Picking up the man's sword and turning to
Vorador, Kani plunges the dull, steel surface directly into the vampire's
heart, killing him for the second time...
As Vorador felt the steel penetrate his body, the air around him seemed to
close in on him, as his soul fought a way back into his body. As the cold
air flooded through his body, Vorador felt himself slipping, just as Kain
must have felt as the silver of the Seraphin's ritual vampire execution
sword sliced through his body, and fell into the open pit, causing his
'immortal' body to collapse in upon itself, just as an Implosion does to
it's victim (Implosion is a Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen move which "causes
the victim's body to force itself into itself, until the pressure ruptures
the vessel of flesh". *Very* messy! Very cool, but very messy!)
Kani woke with a burning sensation. Not daylight, but snow. Vampires like
Kani are only weak in snowy conditions, not in daylight. Not the others
though... The Born are weak in daylight, so weak that a child can be a major
threat to a Born. The Made are weak in daylight, and the rain. What's the
difference, some women actually want to sleep with a vampire, they're
responsible for the Born. Vampires on a whole are the cause of the Made. But
a small minority are actually raped by vampires, and not killed if they
refuse. Those kind make the Outsiders, or vampires like Kani, and Raziel.
Kani ran for the nearest cover. It's hard to imagine such a delicate thing
like a snowflake can make an Outsider run for cover. But some have died in
light snow showers, so none take the risk.
It's not a dream, but it's really not happened, Vorador hasn't been killed,
the Seraphin are dormant, and the people haven't uprisen yet.
