The Edge of The Coin: The Return of The Darkness

"So Seacia was somehow able to restore Nosgoth?" Turel asked. Raziel and Kain had taken them to the Pillars where they told them of the amazing story. They had listened very intently and hung onto every word that was said. "This story does explain all of the changes, but how can one person have THAT much power?" Turel pondered.
"I don't know, but that is just how it happened," Raziel claimed.
"Perhaps it is best that we do not know," Kain suggested.
"Well I for one am not going to believe it without proof," Dumah said as he turned to face the place where Seacia had been put to rest. But when he looked, she was gone. "What, where did she go??"
"Maybe she grew tired of your arguing and decided to get up and go elsewhere?" Rahab jokingly suggested.
"This is peculiar...I've never known her to do something like this before," Raziel thought aloud.
"And you've known her how long?" Rahab asked.
Raziel slouched a little. "Three months."
"My point exactly. You can't expect to- THREE MONTHS?!??! We've been dead for only three months?!?!?!?" Raziel nodded sheepishly. "You must be kidding...it must have been more than a decade that we were in that...that hell!" Rahab's three other brothers nodded.
"Well, it has, whether you believe it or not." Kain said. "Raziel, any ideas where she may have gone?"
"Not a clue."
"All right. Spli-" He didn't get to finish his sentence as the scream was heard. "I guess that answers our question then!" And they raced towards the direction of the sound.
They turned a corner and saw a massive black shape lifting Seacia up off the ground by her neck. She didn't look conscious.
"Seacia!!!" Raziel shouted as he raced towards her.
"Raziel, stop!!" Kain yelled after him. He was too late to stop as the figure whacked him to the side. Hard. Raziel fell to the ground with a thump. Unsheathing the Soul Reaver from Raziel's belt, Kain took up the sword and slashed through the figure, literally. The black shape gave a pierced shriek and evaporated into the air, dropping Seacia's limp body to the ground. Dropping the Reaver to the side, Kain examined Seacia's neck. On it was the branded mark of a clawed hand. "So he has returned," he murmured to himself, not knowing that the others overheard him when they had rushed to their brother's side. "Take them back to the Pillars. We'll wait for them to awaken there." He said as he picked Seacia up and began walking back the way they had come. The lieutenants purposely lingered behind, speaking to themselves of what Kain had meant. After what must have been thirty minutes, they reached the Pillars where Kain was impatiently waiting for them. Seacia had been laid down in the same spot and the five brothers placed Raziel beside her. They sat down in a semi-circle, their backs turned from the two unconscious vampires.
"Kain, who, or what, was that thing?" Melchiah asked. Kain stared at the ground, unable to speak. Behind them, a mist started to rise from the ground, unnoticed.
"Kain?" Rahab said worriedly. The mist slowly seemed to enter into Seacia's body. Rahab got up and squatted next to his father. "Father, what's wrong? Who was that?" Seacia stood up, but seemed to examine her hands as she spoke, making her face not seeable.
"I...am...reborn......I am...I am..." Seacia looked up at the vampires, who were now staring at her. Their eyes widened with fear of unknowing. Seacia's eyes were red as she flexed her talons. Her voice spoke like that of a man and a womans put together. "Hash'ak'gik."
Oh my goddess, he's back!! AHHHHHHH RUN FOR YOUR BLOODY LIVES!!!!! What has happened to Seacia??? What does Hash'ak'gik want with her?? Find out in the next chapter!!
