Chapter 6: Beasts Of The Enemy
"They did WHAT!?" A booming voice in the shadows demanded. "Tell me one more time, how did we lose this battle?"
A Hylden lord stood cowering in the shadow of his terrifying and merciless ruler. "U-Um, the blue one with the wraith blade has emerged again."
"I know that!! I made him emerge!! How did they win this battle!?" The shadow roared.
"The blue one, um Raziel, joined the battle. There were just human forces, but their leaders had fought with them. And as the humans tired out, we were attacked by the vampiric forces from the woods. Then, when you sent the demons, we underestimated them, and all were slain," The Hylden lord bowed his head, terrified of what might happen.
"Your mind is not focusing, your to worried of what is going to happen to you," The Hylden lord lifted his head, terror in his usually emotionless eyes.
"NO!!!" But it was obvious what this Hylden's fate was now.
"Elder! Give this so-called general to acnarec and filliage." The voice commanded.
"Yes, sire," The elder emerged from the shadows. The Hylden had had enough, he started to run, but all exits simply closed and he was grabbed by the tentacles and restrained. The elder dragged him, kicking and screaming back into the shadows.
Moments later, he was thrown into a pit, he screamed, and after a while, he hit the bottom. He was still alive, and tried to stand up, but his legs were broken. From behind him, he heard the stirring of something and two pairs of glowing green eyes opened. They were cold, and filled with the desire to do one thing, kill to eat.
"AAAHH!!! NNOOOO!!!!" The Hylden lord drew his sword, and started crawling back to the wall. He was grabbed by a pair of pincers, and pulled back into the shadows.

Raziel waited until nightfall to go anywhere, he was unlike anything anyone accept Kain had ever seen. He wouldn't like the attention of strolling down the hallways and having so many eyes on him. Thus, he would wait until nightfall until Kain came out, walking around with Kain, Raziel wouldn't be looked at as much.
When he met Kain, they talked, and walked. Almost like the days as a vampire, Kain was acting as a friend, not an enemy. Raziel still didn't trust him, however. As they passed the hallways of the castle, they passed a group of mixed peoples, vampiric and human. As they passed, they stopped joking and bowed, Raziel laughed in his mind.
As soon as they were out of their earshot, Raziel said, "You still crave power and leadership, like in the past."
"One who is experienced in fair leadership, isn't a coward, and will be around for much longer than any human, is that not a great leader, Raziel?" Kain asked.
Raziel knew he was right, and dropped the subject. They continued walking, "This battle was a great one, and it's being won helps our side immensely, hope remains, this changed history." Kain said.
"The war is not won yet, Kain," Raziel said.
"I know that more than you do, Raziel," Kain said.
"I suppose you would," Raziel left Kain to his affairs and left for his quarters, not to sleep, of course, but to think. Something he did more than ever lately.
For so long he had been the only one he could trust, but in one simple switch of plains, so much had changed. He was a soldier again, with powers far greater than that of a vampire and even more so, a human.
He did not know what would happen in the near future. But he would have to start trusting others if he was to succeed to his destiny. It appeared he was among those he could trust.
Raziel's thoughts wondered, and the night went on, the war would continue eventually. Whoever was running things would reveal himself eventually, and Raziel would make him pay, for it seemed that it was this thing that was the cause of all his humiliation and grief.
"It will pay for this," Raziel looked down and observed his own torn, deformed body, and his rage grew. "Someday."
Author's Note: Every story needs a duo of non-sentient, mysterious, punishment creatures, so I got myself some, and I like them. Please Review!!!! You guys were good about it the first chapter, but now I'm not getting many. Please!!
