Chapter 7: Assassin
The next morning, Raziel decided the attention he received would have to be ignored, he needed to train for the next battle, he knew something new would be revealed.
He trained in the gymnasium, and he did get attention, his fellow warriors just stared at him, and returned to training themselves, though. It wasn't until nightfall when something happened.

At night, Raziel was familiarizing himself with the many halls of the fortress. After about an hour, he heard distant cries, only barely understandable, "What the- Aaahh!!. . . "
Raziel ran down the hallway to assist his allies, and when he reached the area where the voice was, the area was drenched in blood. The body of the vampire sitting by the wall, and there were impaled claw marks through his heart, and slashed all over his torso, it was sickening. Raziel stepped back.
"What is this?" He said. He heard the echoing of clashing blades near him, he ran further. As he reached the battle, he found none other than Kain, standing ready, and looking around the room. Raziel began to step forward, Kain looked at him in horror.
"Raziel!! Jump!!!" And as He did, he saw a hand come out of the wall.
"What?" Raziel turned and landed a safe distance away. The thing Kain had been fighting revealed itself. He was all black, but his eyes, no pupils, but a shining light, much like Raziel's, but bigger. His shoulders went to spikes, but he had the basic build of a Hylden. His weapons, they were different. They started just below his elbows, and acted as a small wrist guard, but covered the tops of his hands as well, and three long blades protruded from the hand cover on each guard. That was how he killed the vampire.
"What sort of vile creature would you be?" Raziel asked. The creature looked at him amusedly and answered.
"I call myself Spirit, I am an assassin, sent to kill the one behind you," Spirit answered.
"I can understand that, but why are you here? Who sent you?" Raziel asked.
"He was sent by the one controlling the demons," Kain said. He was still ready. He had encountered Spirit before, and he seemed to get stronger every time. His newest ability was moving through solid objects.
"Ah, then we should capture him, and find out what we need to," Raziel said.
"Don't get confident, my master was right, you smell different, this should be fun," he laughed, and leapt at the wary Kain, and the confident Raziel.
Raziel guessed quite well that Spirit only wanted Kain dead, so he knew that he would pass through him. As he did, Raziel jumped back, and slashed down. Spirit, stopped abruptly and crossed his blade to block the Soul Reaver. As he did that, Kain ran around him and jabbed the material Soul Reaver at Spirit.
Spirit jumped back, and slashed at Raziel's arm, cutting it and revealing the bright blue contents of his inner body. He stared at the wound for a moment, astounded at what he saw. Kain rushed forward and landed a wide gash in his chest, Spirit jumped back and hissed.
He grabbed his skin and pulled it together, and it healed instantly. He jumped into the air and threw six knives at them, Kain and Raziel dodged, and when they looked up, Spirit was gone.

"Master, as you guessed, the one, Raziel is very strong, and works well with Kain. Once again, I could not kill him," Spirit said.
"It is alright, my assassin. You have failed before, and you know not to give in. We simply need to equip you with more abilities. But know this, we are going to unleash another assault on their forces, we win this one, for the elder, acnarec and filliage, and you will join this battle."
"I understand, and what demons will we use?" Spirit asked.
"Well, first we will attack them with the Sarafan and Hylden, and when they get overconfident, we will send in three thousand Lightning, Gas, and Acid Demons. And if somehow, they are overcome, then we will send in five Fire Demons, and five Black Demons, to finish the rest of them off."
"I will inform the ranks," Spirit said, and disappeared.
"I understand I will join this battle?" The elder asked.
"Yes, you may use whatever method you wish to win, now go," the dark ruler sent him away.
Author's Note: It appears there will be more action soon. Thanks for all the Reviews, but don't stop. I'm sorry about the wait, I've been really busy lately. I hope I can work faster in the future. Later.
