Forgotten Memories: Part V
By Ryoken
We approached the time chamber, the cracks on the wall obvious to the farthest of observers. Kain had no trouble turning the wall into rumble with his power. As we entered the chamber, I could only hope that Kain knew how to operate this contraption. He placed one clawed hand on the switch and extended his other out to me. I grasped it with the same kind of trust that I had one shared with Kain long ago. The room blurred around me when Kain turned the switch. The past went by like a second as we plunged into the near future of Nosgoth. We emerged outside in the swamp, but it was more gloomy than I remembered. The device seemed to have worked and we were at our destined time. Kain signaled for me to place my hand on his shoulder and the second I did, we were inside the Sarafan stronghold. Sometime I must learn how to transport myself around Nosgoth. It most certainly was better than walking and battling my way through vampire hunters all of the time. Instead of heading deeper into the stronghold, Kain entered the room at back of the chapel that we now stood in. That was when I saw it. The soul reaver, broken in two.
"This is the chapel of Sir William the Just. You remember my tales of him, do you not?" I merely nodded. I felt compelled to the physical blade, to take hold of it. I approached the blade and, as if my hand had a mind of it's own, I grabbed the handle of the it, and it began to leech the energy of my soul to restore itself. Kain merely stood and watched me as I grew weaker by the second. Before I reached oblivion, the Soul Reaver stopped its feeding and released me. "Now you have the tool that you need, Raziel. Our journey resumes. We must find Moebius and quickly." He rushed onward into the stronghold and I did my best to keep up with him. We reached deepest part of the stronghold and Kain stopped, allowing me to catch a second wind. We searched the room, but there was no sign of Moebius.
"Damn you, Moebius! Where are you hiding?!"
"Am I not clearly out of your reach, Raziel? I knew you and Kain were coming long before you did. As I can see, you are much smarter than I thought you were, my little blue assassin. No, I won't kill your human self. It would only ruin my fun. Now be gone! You will not find me here." Moebius's last words faded away and I could only wonder what Kain's next move was to be. But when I looked around, he was gone. Leaving me here to battle my way out of the Sarafan stronghold, now was he? Passing through the huge doors in which I had gained entry, I sighed and began my tiresome fight against the slayers once more and left the reaver behind.
