Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Reaver
Chapter 14: Acathian
Raziel and the others ran in the direction of the fortress where the controller of the demons resided. Raziel looked forward to ending the life and devouring the soul of beast that caused him so many deaths and humiliation.
After a day and a half on their course, they reached Vorador's former mansion. It remained untouched, for it was in the middle of the forest, and unknown to nearly anyone. They took shelter their for the night.

"Bring all the security capable Demons out of the other dimension, the Sarafan and Hylden are useless now, dispose of them, now," the Controller commanded. The Black Demon bowed its head and turned to leave.
"The Hylden and Sarafan have proven weak and useless, room must be made for my own soldiers," he said as the Demon servant left.

"We will head north from here for about three more days, then we shall be at the fortress Acathian. The controller of the Demons is there, he is there tie, and when he is disposed of, there will be nothing more to draw the demons back to this world," Kain said.
"Then let us leave," Jalion said.
They left that day, encountering few beasts in the woods on the way there, for most hade been scared away by the Hylden and Sarafan forces. Only the strongest, foolish, and fearless remained, and they proved easy kill for the four warriors.
The third night the four arrived at the fortress, it was a rugged, and decimated. All remaining humans were slaves, and lived horribly.
They reached the gates, and found a moat, and a lifted drawbridge. Kain and Vorador could go no farther, and if Jalion jumped in, he was stuck, the edges were slick, and unclimbable.
Raziel jumped into the water to reach the mud underneath, as previously stated, the Elder increased his power and allowed him to travel through the earth. He reached the bottom, and shot through the mud like water, he stopped, and headed up, hard, he put the Reaver ahead of him and erupted from the ground, ten feet from the Fire Demon guarding the front gate. It saw him, and immediately began drawing breath to roar an alarm to the security of the intruder.
Raziel dashed for him, it lifted its head to roar, but Raziel cut its throat before any sound came out.
He snuck down the hallway, and lowered the drawbridge. They ran across and met Raziel at the entrance to the fortress.
"Be wary," he warned. "The lowering of the drawbridge is sure to gather attention, we must be stealthy."
The others agreed, and took to the rooftops as several Demons of different varieties came around the corner. They spoke to each other.
"The bridge has been lowered," said the Lightning Demon, "alert all guards, there are intruders."
They scattered in all directions, and the four warriors began moving. At a point where they saw no security, they jumped down. To their left was a passage leading to security, but to their right, their was a passageway leading into darkness about three feet in. They elected the darkness, for their were two vampires in the group. Darkness was their territory.
However, certain issues arose just as they ran into the passageway, they were running swiftly, Jalion and Raziel in front, and Kain and Vorador in back. As Raziel and Jalion reached twenty feet inside, then when Vorador and Kain followed, there was a huge green flash, they both flew back.
"No! A Glyph barrier," Kain announced when they stood. "Vorador and I can go no further."
"Kain?" a voice from the darkness asked. Everyone jumped and turned.
"Who is it?" Raziel asked.
"Raziel? My child, it has been millennia," Janos Audron said.
"Janos?"
Author's Note: Well, a turn of events, someone unexpected has returned to the story, but I can assure you, just because they found the guy who has all the answers, doesn't mean the story's close to over yet, no, I plan on going on for a little while longer. Please Review!!!! They are at a low nowadays.
One last thing, for all those looking out for Soul Reaver 3. We don't have long to wait, Eidos plans to display Soul Reaver 3 (that's just a cover name, no one knows what it'll be called yet) around May. Just thought you'd like to know.
