The Edge of The Coin: The Return of the Darkness
By Ryoken
The black sky, in which Nosgoth laid under, was peculiar that night, Seacia noted. She had, instead of joining Raziel in hunting that night, decided to star-gaze. She had never truly noticed the beauty of them that she had only taken for granted. She wondered, on the boulder that she sat on, why her. Why her, out of all the other humans and vampires, to be chosen to save Nosgoth from damnation. But then again, why not her? She took a whiff of the cold air around her.
"Hello," she said, still staring above her.
"Damn it, I hate that little trick of yours. It never lets me have any fun," Raziel said as he sat down beside her.
Seacia laughed and turned to look at Raziel. "I thought you were going out tonight?"
"I was, until I noticed that you weren't there," he answered. Then he kissed her cheek. "So why might you be here?"
"Just thinking is all." She looked back up at the stars.
"Thinking eh? About what?"
"Nothing important."
"Well it must be important if you came all the way out here just to think about it." She looked back at him for a moment until she spoke.
"You didn't come and find me just because I wasn't there, did you?"
"You are the little witch, aren't you? Kain-"
"Oh so I'm a witch, am I??" Seacia said and she turned and playfully pushed him off the rock they had been sitting on. Raziel landed on his back. "Raziel?" He didn't move. Cursing, Seacia made her way off of the boulder and to his side. She nudged him and he grabbed her arm, threw her to the ground, and pinned her there by the wrists and with himself. She lifted herself up and kissed him, and when she felt his grip loosening, she pinned him to the ground.
"I'd keep my mouth shut, but Kain sent me. He wishes to speak to you, urgently," Raziel said.
"Bah, if he wishes to speak to me, he can do it in person," she retorted as she stood up. Then she hopped back up on the rock and sat back down.
"It's about my brothers," he said as he too, hopped back onto the boulder which served as an uncomfortable seat.
Seacia looked into his yellow-green eyes. They were the color of the leaves of trees when autumn was approaching. She found that she was relaxed whenever she gazed into his beautiful eyes. "Your brothers? What about them?" She whispered.
"I don't know. All I know is that Kain wishes to speak to you and it has to do with them." Pieces of his hair fell into his eyes and Seacia brushed them away.
"I suppose I'll get going then," she said as she began to take flight. Raziel unfolded his wings. Seacia had renewed them, she knew. They had told her, after they had returned to their own time, of the events that had occurred in the past. Now, they silently moved in the wind as he stretched them out, full length. Then he jumped into the air, letting the leathery skin of the wings take the air and make him fly.
Not soon after, the two vampires arrived at the Pillars of Nosgoth, which now stood as it had in centuries past, before the walls of the Sanctuary of the Clan had been brought up by the human slaves. They were now whole again, though now there were no guardians, save for Kain and Seacia.
Kain was leaning against the Pillar of Balance when they landed from their flight. His now-youthful face smiled as they came forth.
"Raziel...I was beginning to think you had forgotten what I had sent you to do..." Kain smirked. Seacia only shook her head with a sighing smile. "I am glad that you have finally come. Follow me. You as well, Raziel." Kain turned and began to walk the path to the abyss. Nosgoth had been restored, but when they had arrived back in their own time, the landscape was shaped exactly the same, though now it seemed no where near gloomy, what with nature surrounding every nook and cranny. With every step, Kain spoke of what he wished to speak to Seacia of.
"I had been thinking of your brothers, Raziel, earlier at the abyss, when a voice spoke out to me. I have no idea who it might have been, but it said that Seacia had the power to resurrect every one of your fellow vampire brethren from the abyss, whether or not they had been cast in. I would very much like to see whether this is true or not, would you not agree, Seacia?" Kain asked.
Seacia pondered this short story for a mere second and then nodded. By the time he had finished, they reached the abyss.
"I suppose I could try, though I have no idea as to how I would go about doing this," she said. Raziel and Kain stood a good distance as she floated into the air and stayed directly above the center of the swirling waters that used to be that of Kain's execution grounds. She knew that if she just let go of herself, that her body would know what to do, though in her mind, she hadn't the slightest idea. All she thought of were the faces of Melchah, Zephon, Dumah, Rahab, and Turel, though she had only seen them once or twice in her small vampire lifetime. Her arms crossed her chest without a touch and she closed her eyes. Then she uncrossed her arms and leaned backwards a little. Five purple bolts of lightning came down from gray clouds that hovered above her in the sky and they landed on the small patch of ground that stood over the abyss. Within the minute, the bolts were gone, and their place, stood vampires, all five of them.
"R-Raziel...? K-Kain-n? What has happened? We're...we're alive...sort of," Dumah asked, dumbfounded. Amazed, neither Kain nor Raziel could answer him. Raziel finally snapped out of his delusion and embraced his younger brothers in happiness and joy, gratitude towards seeing them that he had not felt since the old wars. Confused, the brothers began to bombard Kain and Raziel with questions, not taking notice of Seacia. "How did you do this?" "What has happened to Nosgoth?" "You've both changed back into your younger states, how is that so?" were only a few of the questions they wanted answers to.
"Please, please, enough questions," Raziel laughed as he pleaded. "The answer to all of your questions is right behind you," he said as he pointed at the sky. Seacia was not there.
"Seacia?" Melchah stated, looking at the ground. Raziel pushed past his brothers to see Seacia lying on the ground, unconscious.
"It must have worn her out," Raziel chuckled. "Come, dear brothers. There is much to tell you of," he spoke as he picked Seacia up in his arms and they followed Kain and Raziel to the Pillars of Nosgoth.
Behind them, the swirling waters of the abyss seemed to slow down and gradually churn the opposite way. "Sssssssssssssssseeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccccccccccccciaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," came a voice. "Your desssssssstiny awaitsssssssss with meeeeeeeee," and the voice spiraled into insane laughter as it died away.
MUHAHAHAHAHAHA, I didn't think I could write that good!! ^_^ Who is this voice? Why did the abyss change directions? What do the newly re-arisen vampires think of this new Nosgoth? Find out in chapter two!!
