Chapter 1: A powerful ally
"I am the last Pillar. The only survivor of the Circle of Nine. At my whim the world will be healed or damned. At my whim...."
The pillars started crumbling, so was Nosgoth fate chosen by Kain, the Guardian of Balance.
"Once I embraced my powers I realized Vorador was correct. We are gods -dark gods- and it is our duty to thin the herd."
This was what Kain had told at the Pillars as they crumbled. He left abruptly, holding the Soul Reaver in his right hand, leaving Ariel with tears. His mind was set, he would conquer Nosgoth and make it the land of the vampires. He teleported back to his Sanctuary which he had organized into a decent place to live in for the moment and sat on his desk with a map of Nosgoth. Several thoughts ran in the mind of the vampire as he was seated. He remembered when he arrived at the town square just in time to see Vorador's head on the guillotine. Vorador looked over the crowd of cowardly humans sadly one last time, before the blade crashed down, and the executioner held up his severed head like a prize for all to see. Moebius then pointed him out of the crowd, and rallied the townspeople to attack him. Before that time, he valued still human life for he would only take blood to live on another day, but that day was the day his hatred for humans was set.
Kain: If only I had never saved this town, Vorador and the other vampires would still be here...
Kain remembered what Vorador told him when he was in his Mansion.
"Meddling with the affairs of man can do us no good. Sarafan witchhunts are much too tedious to concern ourselves with. Am I understood Kain? "
Kain: Vorador....I must painfully agree that you were right all along.
Kain took out the ring Vorador had given him, he held it for a while and then realized that he actually was angered by the fact that Vorador was dead. It was then his mind was set, he would resurect Vorador from the dead, after all...it wouldn't hurt him to have the most powerful vampire on his side when he conquers Nosgoth. Kain took the Soul Reaver in his right hand and walked out of his Sanctuary. He knew not where he could find Vorador's body, but he did know he might be able to resurect him with the Heart of Darkness. Kain took the form of a bat and flew out towards the stronghold in which Vorador and many other vampires were executed. He flew past Stahlberg over the destroyed statue of William the Just. He entered the ruined stronghold. Kain landed in front of the stronghold and turned back to his normal form. He could still smell the blood he had spilled, humans and beheaded vampires were on the ground, and finally after a bit of searching, Kain saw the corpse of Vorador. He picked up both parts of his body that laid on the ground and stepped out of the stronghold. He spent days walking West, past Elbezir's mansion, past the mountains, then down to the Termagent forest. He entered Vorador's partly destroyed mansion, it did not take long for him to be noticed by one of the vampires of the mansion.
Kain: You! Come here...
The vampire walked hesitantly towards Kain.
Vampire: Is this....Master Vorador??
Kain laid the body on the floor along with the head next to it.
Kain: Yes, I see you hid well while your "Master" was taken away and killed, you should be dead for your cowardice, but you will serve a purpose. I have the Heart of Darkness with me and I think it can be used to resurect Vorador, but I know not how to use it on a beheaded vampire.
Vampire: I think I have an idea on how to do this. Help me carry his body to a table.
Kain carried the body by himself along with the head.
Kain: I need no help carrying him, show me where you want his body to be taken.
The vampire led Kain towards a large wooden table which was in the hallway.
Vampire: I will be right back, I need to use stiches.
Kain walked around, once again amazed by the wealth Vorador possessed. Maybe resurecting Vorador wasn't such a good idea. He could use Vorador's mansion for himself, sure it was a bit destroyed but it was still a beautiful place and he could keep his wealth, but the return of the vampire took him out of these thoughts.
Vampire: Master Vorador taught us that the Heart of Darkness puts life back into vampires, blood is the life therefore it must put blood back in a bloodless body, so we need to close up and holes in which the blood may leak out.
The vampire used stiches to stick Vorador's head back on his neck. After an hour of meticulous work, Vorador's body looked whole again. He put an equisist redcollar around his neck, it accomodated with Vorador's red outfit. He then placed the Heart of Darkness over Vorador's head, squeezing it gently, old blood poured out of it and dropped down Vorador's mouth. His body emmitted a red glow and Vorador opened his eyes slowly. He rose up and looked around with a bit of a struggle due to the stiches.
Vorador: What happened?
Vampire: My Master you are back!!! You have no idea how glad I am!
Vorador barely listened to the vampire, he ripped the collar off his neck and looked in a mirror, he saw the stiches.
Vorador: What is this?!!
Kain walked towards Vorador, taking his attention.
Kain: Can you not remember?
Vorador turned to Kain and a shocked expression could clrearly be read on his face.
Vorador: Kain?
Kain: In person, now answer me...You can remember me but you can't remember what has happened to you?
Vorador closed his eyes for a second and slowly had flashbacks, humans storming inside his mansion, his mistresses screaming and being taken away, his capture, his last look at a crowd of humans cheering on as he heard the sound of a deadly blade coming down on him. Then the sight his head could still see despite being cut off his body, the crowd screaming in delight and the last sight...the humans going after Kain.
Vorador kept himself up with his arms on the table, his knees felt weak for a moment but then regained his composure.
Kain: I can see in your eyes you remember.
Vorador turned to his servant.
Vorador: Take off those stiches, I have already healed.
After a few minutes, the stiches were taken out and Vorador's neck fully healed. Kain walked to Vorador and stood next to him as Vorador stepped towards the destroyed door, he looked at the Termagent forest.
Kain: I owed you this favor, you are not in my debt, nor am I anymore.
Vorador: Why did you save me, Kain? I know you...you are young and ambitious, I also know you are not the kind that would save someone without any selfish purpose. That's how many vampires are...don't think I blame you for that, but I want to know the truth.
Kain chuckled.
Kain: You really are the father of all vampires, Vorador...you know me better than I thought. Well you are right, I brought you back because I need your help, but that was not my original intention, I wanted to bring you back just because you didn't deserve to die back then, but I do need your help in my conquest Nosgoth.
Vorador: Conquest of Nosgoth?
Kain: I have the Soul Reaver now, I have destroyed the pillars and destroyed the Circle of Nine. This work is now ours for the taking. All we need is to raise an army of vampires and make Nosgoth mi...ours!
Vorador chuckled, seeing that Kain just wanted Nosgoth for himself, but that did not bother him..Vorador simply wanted revenge and as long as Kain's plan involved the death of humans and a world without oppression for vampires, then he would fight.
Vorador: Very well, Kain...I will help you. Turning humans into vampires is a long process though.
Kain: We have all eternity...but let us begin now.
