This is my first Soul Reaver based Fan fiction. So, please bare with me if
any of the characters seem out of place.
Disclaimer. I do NOT own Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, or any of its characters. I only own the idea for this fic and any made-up characters I decide to add.

Chapter 1- The Reaver Cometh.
The dark clouds above began to swirl with a rage-like manner. A portal at the very heart of the funnel is thrown open and ejects a solitary object like it was vomit. Weaved in flame and lightning, the object falls into the very core of the invested city of New Anderny. Those who witnessed this event would declare the object to be a meteorite that survived the heat of descending into Earths atmosphere, but it was too small to cause any apocalyptic disaster. However, that disaster would've happened instantaneous, whereas the one about to happen, will be a slow process. Very slow indeed.
Pain. A sensation he has grown to accept. But then again, maybe he never had. He found himself lying in a strange metal coffin half full of waste. Raziel would have never seen such filth in Nosgoth. Since he crossed the threshold into the time stream to follow Kain, he now finds himself here. He couldn't recall a single memory before the battle he had with Kain merely an hour ago. It was as though he was reborn as a clean slate... Knowing nothing. But he remembered Kains wicked laughter as he retreated into the portal. Could Raziels former master be somewhere nearby?
"What land do I now travel upon?"
Raziel asks himself as his claws reached the edges of this strange coffin and pulls himself over it. Though he didn't know it, it was no coffin but a simple garbage dumpster, like so many in the alleyways of New Anderny. His blank white eyes scanned his surroundings only to find himself between two buildings that were not recognizable to him. They were made of something other than wood or stone. The structures were made out of material between stone and granite. He looked out into the opening before the buildings and saw many strange carriages go by. How strange... Horses were pulling none of them; yet, they went by just as fast on wheels. Many also had bright lights shining from them, and some even gave out horrible loud noises, followed by human cursing unlike the which Raziels never heard before.
What is a 'Son of a Bitch?'
Raziel ponders as he continues to see the strange machines speed by. He decided that it was too dangerous for him to confront such things. Instead, he drove his claws into the side of the building next to him, and started to scale the wall with the talents he learned from devouring his brother, Zephon's, soul.
However strange this land is, Kain is here and I will plummet through the depths of Hell to find him!
The building was tall. Too tall, in fact for it to be of human design, he thought, but as he looked away and saw many more buildings much like the one he was on now, he thought wrong. The humans here have adapted well here than back in Nosgoth.
In the name of Agrivato...
Raziel gasped as he was in awe at the sight that laid before him. Lights, Buildings and other architectures spanned across the horizon. This was no mere human town. It was a kingdom of sorts. Returning to the wall his claws dug into, he continued to scale up until he was at the very top of the building. It was so high, he felt he was on a man-made mountain. The cold wind whisked across his tattered wings and the soiled cloak he wore over his jawless face.
My God...
He was torn from his thoughts as a female's scream echoed across the landscape. Raziel's attention was drawn downward and in an alley, much like the one he emerged from, were three humans. Two men and a woman they had pinned to a wall. Normally, Raziel wouldn't interfere with human events. But the dark hollows of his mind told him to get information. And since the humans in the secluded village of Nosgoth didn't see him as a vampire, then perhaps these humans will as well. Maybe... Leaping off the ledge, he grabs his wings and glided slowly on a drift of air that would lead him to where the three humans were arguing.
"Come on, Baby. We know you want it."
One of the men grinned. as he held onto the girls red jacket. The other man, dressed in leather like a bike punk, pulled the girls long yellow hair, forcing her head upwards.
"Please... don't..."
The woman's voice squeaked in both fear and pain
"Don't what, pretty?"
The guy in the business suit asked without any intentions of listening.
"Let me go..."
"Don't let you go? Well if you insist gorgeous."
He laughed as he ran his finger along the side of her face and down her throat. Raziel had landed behind them in the shadows and watched what was transpiring here. Humans preying off other humans? This was not right. He looked to his right arm and saw the glowing blue energy that danced around it. He would've smiled if his jaw was in one piece. Throwing his arm outward, the Wraith Blade, also known as the Soul Reaver, extended outward and was ready to drink whatever blood it spilt.
"Come on beautiful."
The biker punk sneered
"Give us a kiss."
"Leave me alone!"
She screamed again, once more trying to pull free from the men, but they held strong. Raziel stepped forward slowly and once he was close enough, he revealed himself to them.
"I would suggest you release the female..."
Three pairs of human eyes turned to see what looked like a blue skinned demon come from the shadows.
"Unless you want your own blood to satisfy your need."
"What the flying fuck is that?!"
The first one said just before a blade of swirling blue energy severed him in half at the torso. Frightened at the creature and the fact that it killed his partner in under three seconds, the biker punk threw the woman to the ground and fled like a dog with it's tail between it's legs. The girl felt herself fall to the ground and she caught herself by her hands. She looked at the creature not far away to see him pulling the rages away from his face and exposing his jawless face towards the dead body. The creature seemed to be sucking in air, but her human eyes could not see the green soul energy he was devouring from his victim. Sheer terror froze her body and though her mind screamed at her to run, her muscles ignored the commands as the creature drew the cloak back over his face and turned towards her.
"Are you hurt miss?"
Raziel asked at the fear stricken woman, who only knelt there staring at him.
"It is not polite to stare miss. I will ask again. Did they harm you?"
When Raziel stepped forward, she finally managed to move, however, she only found herself with her back to a wall and a creature standing in front of her that scared her far more than the two men did.
"W-W-What d-do you w-want?"
She asked, her voice shaking under such fear.
This one speaks as though she had never seen a Vampire before.
"All I want is for you to answer my questions. And I have many."
She tried to step aside, but Raziel knew she tried to flee. He saw this coming. As she turned to run, he stabbed his claws into the wall only an inch from her face and she froze again.
"No harm will come to you if you cooperate. Resist and I may have to force the answers I want from your lips. And believe me, it won't be as a pleasant motivation as the one those two male had on you."
She turned to him slowly, expecting to see a monster there ready to bite her head off. She saw the monster, but no attack came. He did after all, saved her.
"What do you wish to know?"
She asked with her voice sounding less frightened. Finally he was getting somewhere. He withdrew his hand from the wall and stepped back
"What is your name human?"
"Felicia Marks."
"Tis a pleasure to meat you Felicia Marks. I am Raziel."
He greeted with a bow, to which Felicia wasn't sure how to think of it.
"Now tell me Felicia. What is the name of this kingdom?"
"Kingdom? This is no Kingdom. Just a city named New Anderny."
Not a Kingdom?! Just a city? This is too large to be a mere city Raziel then felt his quest to find Kain may take longer than he hoped for.
