Chapter 2 - Raziel Arrives - In which, well, Raziel arrives and Kain meets
Vorador.
Blood Omen street had not always been known as Blood Omen Street. In days past it was known simply as Blood Street, the name shortened to 'BS' street. The Omen had been added to the street some hundred years ago by a man named eh, John, I think his name was... quite a funny story really. One day John after a hard day of being a Morris Dancer... well on second thoughts you probably had to be there.
I arrived finally at the end (or beginning?) of Blood Omen Street. For months I had been relentlessly perusing my prey - Kain. Confusingly both Kain and I could use voice over in this story... I mean uh, no... I decided to stop ruining the atmosphere and headed towards Kain's abode.
Of course, Raziel was unaware of the fact that Kain was elsewhere. Kain had just entered the home of Vorador, who stood before him now.
"Hello Kain, I'll tell you what's wrong, And I'll do it all by means of a song, Follow the rules and we'll get along fine I'll even let you around to dine, To feast in the halls down the corridor Here at the home of Vorador.
In this Street we go at night, Red Sky is a Shepard's delight, Here on BO we respect our betters We do not read their private letters Do not make a nosily din Do not rummage in my bin..."
I listened for some 23 minutes and 47 seconds as Vorador continued his pathetic song. Quite what the hell had happened to him to make him like this was unclear. Maybe having your head cut off was even more traumatic than I had thought.
"What are you doing Vorador?. Last time I checked vampires did not sing and dance like cissies."
"Yes Kain, but the years of isolation have damaged my mind."
"You live in a populated street in a populated town in a populated world."
"Oh yeah. But you see Kain, the years of savage treatment, cruel rejection by the humans has made me go insane."
"What have they done to you, Vorador?" I wondered what vile atrocities had been committed on the vampire.
"They made fun of my big ears, Kain."
"What?"
"You're looking at them now, I can see the smirk on your face... damn it I hate them! With their small ears and non-green skin. Stop laughing Kain! Stop it!"
"I'm not laughing!"
"Leave me alone."
I wondered what had happened to the once strong and proud Vorador. Perhaps Mortanius or Mobius had done something to him... or perhaps he really was worried about his ears. I mean, they were HUGE!
Mortanius lay on his bed as the Exorcist prepared to remove the demon.
"What exactly is this demon's name?" asked the Exorcist.
"Hasha-pasha-pisha-something. Look just call him Hash okay? We don't need to get to know him by his full name. I mean, he's about to be exorcised isn't he? I cannot possibly see this failing in any way whatsoever."
Just then Mortanius changed into a huge demon who ate the Exorcist whole. Then he changed back to Mortanius.
"Damn," said Mortanius.
Kain was heading home when suddenly he spotted Raziel standing outside his house. Kain snuck up behind him, folded his arms, coughed, then pretended he had been expecting him all along, when in fact he had believed the little bastard to be gone for all eternity in the plug hole of souls.
"Hello Raziel," said Kain.
At this point both appeared to want to do voice-overs, which almost caused the end of the world. As it was, it just caused a bit of confusion.
I looked at Raziel and wondered why, even though he wanted to kill me so badly, I never seemed to be in the least bit annoyed by it. I mean, anyone else and I would have torn their head's off.
I looked at Kain and wondered why, even though I wanted to kill him so badly, I never did. Why in fact was I standing here about to discuss the matter with him? Why didn't we just fight?
"Raziel please come in to my home... can I offer you some tea?" said Kain.
"None of your tricks Kain. You will die here."
At this point the ghost of Ariel appeared.
"You must kill Kain now Raziel," she moaned.
"Oh fuck off Ariel. It is amazing how you have the ability to talk and NEVER GET LISTENED TO," said Kain.
Ariel went off, tears in her eyes.
Raziel went to strike Kain, but Kain vanished before him. Raziel turned as Mobius walked towards him.
"Not yet, Raziel, not yet... but the time of Kain's undoing is near. Why do you think we have gathered here in this street, all of us? It is destiny Raziel. You shall soon see..."
