Chapter 4: The Kian Empire
~~~Nosgathic Pillars~~~
"Master Kian, I have news of Turel." Kian turned around and he looked even less human or even vampire than Kain did. He looked like a cross between Vampire and a Demon. "Well speak Tural, what is the news of Turel?" "Turel is dead master." Kian just smiled and said, "Excellent all of my fathers Lieutenants are dead, except for Raziel. He will come to us seeking out you father!" Kain just appeared out of the shadows and said, "Yes, he will Kian. He will come, because of that blasted elder. I think you should let your children evolve now. It will take a six months journey by air. Even they can't fly that long." Kian just smiled and went to the Nasgothic pillars and sat in his thrown. Kian had kept his empires land in perfect health. Not letting it become like Nosgoth. "I will call all my sons here at once father and you will do the same in Nosgath?" "Yes, Raziel has changed though, he will not look like his former self. Now I suggest that you also inform your children that all from Nosgath, that aren't human or vampire are not welcome. I have disbanded the Sarafan brotherhood in Nosgath." "Yes, father it shall be done. You Turalem, Domahem, Saphronem, Razelem, Raheebem, Warlackem, go get your clan leaders here now!" The six vampire fledglings left immediately for their respected homes, to get their masters. 'Now I wait and see what their next evolution is. If any of them have evolved before me or further than me, I will destroy them by casting them into the flaming abyss.' "Master you have summoned me?" "Ah, yes Domah, I have summoned you, but we will wait for your brethren." "Yes Master." They waited for a little bit longer when Raheeb, Warlack, Saphron arrived. They went to there respected areas without bothering there master and waited. A moment later Tural arrived and went to his respected spot and waited. A few minutes later Razel arrived and bowed to his master. "Now my children let me see your new gifts. I will start with you Raheeb." "Yes master. If you will follow me I will show you my new gift." "Very well, come my children let us see what Raheeb's new gift is." They followed him to the lava pools and Raheeb dove into it. "He has committed suicide, master!" "Just wait and watch Domah." Then Raheeb surfaced out of the lava pool and walked onto the land. "I am now immune to lava master." "I see, you will be spared, seeing how as I am immune to fire. Lava is merely liquid fire. Now Tural you will be next to show us your new found gift." "Yes master, I will show you here." Tural merely went into the shadows and came out with no one seeing him. "I can blend into my surroundings, except for that of light surroundings. I can only blend into dark areas." "Interesting, you have newfound stealth abilities. Warlack you are next. Show us your new found ability." "Yes master." So Warlack looked at the sky and opened a hole in the clouds and a beam of sunlight hit a fledgling and it burned to death. "I can manipulate the weather of Nasgoth, master." "I see, this can prove to help our race very much. Saphron you are next." "Yes master." Then Saphron spread his arms wide and he walked through the gate in the material realm. "I can go through gates in the material realm." "Quite interesting this is. Domah you are next." "Yes master." Domah's skin began to cover itself with a thick rough armor like skin and then he grew horns out of the armor like skin. "I can cover my self in armor and I can climb any kind of cliffs and walls." "Interesting, how about your newfound gift Razel." "Yes master." Razel kneeled and then spread two sets of wings. Then he stood up and waited for his master's reaction. "Grab him Domah and Tural!" They grabbed him and tied his wings against his skin and waited for their master's order. "Follow me." They followed him to the sacrificial cliffs and waited for the next order. "Cast him in!" They threw him over the cliff and listened to him scream as he it the flaming abyss. But the screaming ended all to soon as he was rescued from the flaming abyss. "Master what do we do now?" "We do what we should of done years ago and do what my father did. We're going to reshape Nosgath into our own image. Shape your clan areas into what you wish. You will each be given new areas if you wish."
~~~Flaming Abyss Hidden Tunnel~~~ "Hold it right their Raziel! What do you think your doing?" "Look Vorador we came here in less than two weeks! Now look there on the cliffs. They're going to cast him into the flaming abyss! Just as I was, all because he grew wings before his master did! Just as I had, Vorador!" Then they heard a scream of agony. "Ah! Forgive me master! Forgive me!" Then Raziel jumped into the air and flew into the flaming abyss, just skimming the surface. When he reached the area that Razel was thrown in at he reached down and pulled him out of the flaming abyss. Razel had fainted and his lower half of his face and burned away. His body was still semi- normal, but would have to be healed a little bit. Vorador soon joined him in there hiding spot. Two hours later Razel's body, with the exception to his lower jaw was healed. "Uh, where am I?" "You will be okay, stranger. Your lower jaw is gone, but the rest of your body made it. Oh, half of your hair was burned away as well." "Who are you?" "My name is Raziel, last of the Razielem." "I am Vorador, I was healed by Raziel as well." "Raziel! Vorador! How can this be you were both killed!" "Yes, but I was brought back in a different form. I resurrected Vorador by healing him where his head was cut off and by pulling a stake out of him." "But how were you restored to your present form then?" "An angel of the Lord himself restored me. Now what is your name?" "My name is Razel of the Razelem. First Born son of Kian, son of Kain himself." "Then your master and I share a common feature. We are both son's of Kain." Raziel sneered as he said Kain's name. "Yes, that would make you my uncle, would it not?" "Yes, but call me Raziel, I don't like being called uncle." "Okay, Raziel. So what do we do now? My clan is probably wondering what happened to me." "Your clan is of no concern to me. My concern is Kain!" "Then you will need to go to the Nosgathic Pillars. Kian waits there. But you will need the ability to pass through gates to get there." "I can do that." "But how?" "My youngest brother Melchiah could pass through gates. But I'm restricted to using it in the spectral realm." "Well my brother Saphron can do it in the material realm. His clan territory is on the other side of the abyss. But you have to get the ability to withstand lava though. You have to defeat Raheeb for that. But before him you have to defeat Tural so you can get advanced stealth abilities. But before him you have to defeat Warlack so you can flush him out of hiding. His clan territory is to the east in the Plains. Then Tural is in the Black Eden, which is on the north side of the abyss. Then you can go west to the volcanic area of Nosgath, so you can face Raheeb. Then you can go to the southwest side of the abyss to Saphron. But on the way to the pillars you have to pass through Domah's territory and you can receive stronger skin, like armor only thicker and more natural. Then you pass through my territory and then the pillars. So you can face Kian and then Kain." "Very well lets go!" "Raziel are you sure we can trust him?" "I don't trust him period Vorador, but if you must know. The moment he double- crosses us I will kill him. Razel do you know where the home of the mythical ancients is?" "Yes it is where the pillars are, why?" "No reason, but what about the Sarafan Tomb here?" "Yes, but that area is forbidden, to all but the master and his father."
~~~Kian and his sons~~~ "My remaining sons, Razel is gone. But now we have a problem your Uncle Raziel as come to Nosgath. I want you to show him no mercy! If you are defeated then so be it. But one shall take your place in defeating Raziel! Now go to your respected clan territories and I will remain here or I might go to the Chronoplast Gate Room, in the Aracle Caves." So they disbanded and went to their homes and Kian stayed. "Raziel will come my son and your children will be defeated, but your future will be decided another time." That's when Kain hit his son across the head knocking him out and he took him to below the pillars into his personal chambers and sealed the door and then breaking his sons crest which opened the door to the out side. He then went to the Pillars and waited. 'Soon Raziel, we will meet again and then we shall see who is the stronger one of us. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!'
~~~The Flaming Abyss/ Warlack's Clan Territory~~~ "Now which way do we go first Razel?" "We head east to Warlack. He as the ability to manipulate the weather." They set off on the journey to Warlack's Clan Territory. Along the way the saw a vampire that looked like a fuzor. It had the face of a tiger with huge fangs, the chest of a Thunder Demon, the arms of Warlack himself, legs of a Turelem, and a tail with spikes on it. It was fierce looking and its tail was deadly. It was in a human village and the humans weren't even afraid of it. "Why aren't the humans afraid of that vampire?" "Because the Sarafan brother hood was disbanded along time ago. Vampires and humans have lived in peace for over five hundred years. Why what's it like in Nosgoth?" "The humans are afraid of the vampires and have isolated themselves in an underground city only accessible by the Rehabem, who could withstand the water." "Really Nosgoth is that bad?" "Would we be attacked if we entered the human village here?" "We would be more likely to be asked to be quests of honor for the human chief." "Then lets go." So they went straight towards the village and the humans noticed them and sent word to the chief that there were three new vampires. "Welcome vampires to the human village known as Warlack's Pride! We would be honored if you would join us for the festival tonight." "We accept human chief and we will introduce ourselves at the festival tonight." "Very well, but what's wrong with your friend here?" "Nothing is wrong with me, I'm from a neighboring empire." "Really this is truly an honor! Which empire are you from?" "I've come from Nosgoth." "Nosgoth! But we thought it had collapsed into the abyss!" "No the new Balance guardian restored the balance and Nosgoth as been restored. I am looking for a certain vampire, perhaps you know of him?" "Possibly who is this vampire you are looking for?" "His name is Kain, my former master." "Kain! Yes I've heard of him he lives in the mountains of Nosgoth doesn't he?" "Not anymore." "Oh, well we keep an ear open for his name." Two hours later, the festival had started and everyone vampire and human alike were dancing and having fun. There were even some cocoons that were opening with newly evolved fledglings. "Now ladies and gentlemen, vampire and human alike, our three guests have decided now is the time for them to introduce themselves!" "My name is Razel leader of the Razelem." "What an honor Lord Warlack's eldest brother has decided to visit us." "Actually I'm on my to see Warlack himself and decided to have some fun while I'm here." "Oh, well all the same, now what about you two? You look pretty old there, how old are you?" "I am over ten thousand years old, and my name is Vorador, first vampire ever created." "Wow, Vorador, the first and oldest of all vampires. Now how about you?" "My name is Raziel last of the Razielem. First Born of Kain's sons and lieutenants." "You are Raziel! Wow what an honor Raziel, First Born of Kain's sons and lieutenants!" The night went on, while everyone was having fun a messenger from Warlack arrived and found the chief and explained that the three guests were wanted for breaking Master Kian's laws. "Ladies and gentlemen, vampire and human alike, our three guests are wanted criminals! They have broken Master Kain's laws and have disgraced us! Get them so that they may be turned over to Master Kian!" The villagers then attacked Raziel, Razel, and Vorador, trying to capture them. That's when they climbed the roof of one home and took off flying. They landed about a mile outside of the village and took off on foot. "I thought you said, they wouldn't attack us Razel!" "So kill me, I was wrong, besides Kian has made us wanted criminals!" That's when a Warlack jumped out of the tree and landed in front of them. Raziel called the Soul Reaver forth, and then killed the Warlackem. "Tell us how to get to Warlack's palace faster!" "Alright all you have to do is fly, but then you'll have to land out here again. Besides its right over that wall!" "Why didn't you say so! Lets go see this Warlack." So they flew up to the top tower and landed on the roof and Raziel used a force blast on the roof making a huge hole. Causing it to cave in and there in the door way stood Warlack. He was huge. He had just come out of his cocoon the day before. "Welcome Razel, I see you survived the abyss. Ah, I see you have brought Uncle Raziel with you and his companion. You won't leave here alive though." "Don't be so sure Warlack; your other uncles did not survive me. Kain wasn't even a match for me. He ran from me three times before I finally came here. I will devour your soul before I leave here tonight! Or you can surrender your abilities to me! The choice is your Warlack." "You are a fool if you thought I would surrender that easily. You won't even survive the night!" Then the battle began Raziel saw him throw a fire bowl at him. Raziel put the Soul Reaver in it and it became the Fire Reaver. Raziel slashed him with the Reaver and it burned him, badly leaving a scar on his arm. "Ah! You'll pay for that!" With that he launched lightning at him and it struck dead on and knocked Raziel down. "Ah! That hurt, but it will take much more than that to defeat me."
~~~Nosgathic Pillars~~~
"Master Kian, I have news of Turel." Kian turned around and he looked even less human or even vampire than Kain did. He looked like a cross between Vampire and a Demon. "Well speak Tural, what is the news of Turel?" "Turel is dead master." Kian just smiled and said, "Excellent all of my fathers Lieutenants are dead, except for Raziel.
