Blood Omen Lane
Chapter 1 - Welcome to Blood Omen Lane - In which Kain arrives and meets some old friends...
Blood Omen Lane, often referred to as 'BO' Lane, had a long history of unusual activity. Centuries ago, it was a regular occurrence for the sky to open up and eat people. Decades ago, a band of mercenaries arrived in the town and were all brutally murdered by a sweet-looking young girl. Weeks ago a normally mild-mannered man sent an old woman down the wrong road to the Post office. And seconds ago, the vampire Kain had arrived.
I surveyed the street and began my usual voice over. Strange that none of the inhabitants had come out to greet me. Perhaps though, it would have been stranger if they had, since no one was expecting me.
"I've been expecting you, Kain."
Kain looked around and saw his old enemy Mortanius.
"You... what are you doing here?" asked Kain coldly. "And why are you much more... alive than when I last left you?"
"I came back using the dragonballs and I live here Kain, as do you now," said Mortanius. "You see Kain, destiny has brought us both here. Soon a cataclysmic series of events will..."
"Oh piss off Mortanius. I want to get settled in my home quickly. I have important plans for the evening."
With that I walked past Mortanius and proceeded quickly to my new home. Yes, I had important plans... Buffy the Vampire Slayer was coming on and I did not want to miss it. I looked at my new home - number 13. Unlucky for some, ha ha ha ha.
However I had rather intended it to be unlucky for those around me rather than for me. As I entered a large section of the roof had fallen on my head. Good job I was a vampire, or else I might have died yet again.
Mobius sat in his home thinking evil thoughts. 'Kain... Raziel... nasty death.... buttered scones....' he thought to himself. For now things were not going in his favour. Vorador owned the only scary building on the street leaving he - an evil villain - in a nicely decorated house. Fully furnished! A clean bathroom! And Kain, accursed Kain, had the skill of voice over he longed to possess. Soon though, yes soon, the tide would turn. In the meantime he put on a Limp Bizkit CD.
Kain heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. If it was Mortanius there would be hell to pay. It wasn't.
"Kain, I knew you would answer. I can see the future, you know," crooned the Oracle of Nosgoth, Mobius.
"Didn't I kill you?" asked Kain.
"Come Kain, everyone in Nosgoth comes back from the dead."
"I cut your fucking head off!"
"Yes, Kain, but now I am undead."
"What, are you a vampire or what?"
"No, Kain, I am a leper."
"Lepers aren't undead! Look, what do you want? You are interrupting my... special time."
"The signposts mark the path to hell, Kain. Your path!" With that the Oracle walked away. Kain peered his head outside and noticed a whole bunch of big signs pointing in the same direction and saying things like 'This way to hell' 'You're heading the right way to hell', 'Please visit hell, this way!'
I decided that things probably were not going to advance much if I did not follow the signs. After all, that generally seemed to be the way things worked. I could in previous adventures have gone home and had a cup of tea or something, but for some reason things didn't seem to work like that.. I sighed and followed the signs.
As Kain walked down the street two young boys came over to him.
"Hey mister, who are you?" said one of them. Kain rather felt like ripping the boys' throats out, but held back. It would perhaps be impolite to do so on his first day here.
"I am Kain."
"Kane? WWE's Kane?"
"No not that Kane..."
"Wow, so that's what you look like without the mask!"
"No..."
"You don't look quite as strong in person though..."
"Listen you little shit I am not a wrestler I am an evil vampire and I have every intent on murdering every human on this street and I will start with you if you don't get out of here right now!" snapped Kain.
As the little bastards ran home I continued my journey. As I reached the end of the journey I saw a rather large house that could perhaps be considered frightening by some but not quite "hell" I should imagine. I walked to the front door. I did not knock. I entered and prepared to confront what lay inside.
