Raziel Squared

It wasn't too long before both the Raziel's woke up from their fainting spell. I passed the time by reading my time travel book. Clyde resorted to a game of solitaire.

S.R. RAZIEL: (mumbling in his sleep) ...no, I don't wanna solve another block puzzle... (startles awake)

RAZIEL: (yawns) What the hell is a block puzzle?

S.R. RAZIEL: Believe me, you don't want to know. How did you get here anyway?

RAZIEL: (points to me) Mikoto did it! Not me!

MIKOTO: (closes book) Look, we don't have much time, so I suggest we hurry up and get out of here.

S.R. RAZIEL: Just what are you in a hurry for?

MIKOTO: I told you! It's a surprise! Or rather, I told the OTHER you, which is you in the past, so you should know that I told you already... Woah, my head is spinning...

CLYDE: ...

RAZIEL: (stands up and stretches wings) Too bad the sky is all cloudy. I like to stretch my wings first thing in the morning.

MIKOTO: You've only had them for one day! How can you enjoy flying when you've only tried it once...and failed at it??

S.R. RAZIEL: (studying Raziel's wings) Why are you going around with those ridiculous things? What happened to the super cool bat wings I remember growing?

RAZIEL: I like these better.

S.R. RAZIEL: No you don't.

RAZIEL: Yes, I DO!

S.R. RAZIEL: I'm you from the future and if I say you don't like them, then you don't like them!

RAZIEL: Well, I'm you now, and um... I... It's not fair! No one likes my butterfly wings!

S.R. RAZIEL: Now if I had been wearing those things when I approached Kain in the Sanctuary, then I wouldn't blame him for tearing my wings to shreds.

RAZIEL: Hey! That's right! At least I STILL have wings you, you, ugly head!

S.R. RAZIEL: That's it!

MIKOTO: (stepping between the two Raziel's) Boys! Boys! Calm yourselves! We have a mission to accomplish!

S.R. RAZIEL: What do you mean by 'we'?

MIKOTO: (to S.R. Raziel) You're coming with us.

RAZIEL: Where are we going now?

MIKOTO: To the past.

RAZIEL: But we just left there!

MIKOTO: No, further back! To the Sarafan time!

RAZIEL: But that scary Moebius guy is there!

S.R. RAZIEL: Don't tell me you're afraid of a feeble old man!

RAZIEL: So what if I am?

S.R. RAZIEL: (rolls his eyes) No wonder I was thrown into the abyss...

CLYDE: ...

MIKOTO: C'mon! Let's get going!

S.R. RAZIEL: No! I'm supposed to go kill Turel now!

MIKOTO: Turel can wait!

RAZIEL: (horrified) You're gonna kill Turel? Why would you do that? We're best friends!

S.R. RAZIEL: Why not? I killed the rest of our brothers...

RAZIEL: (grief stricken) It's not fair! I turn into a big mean monster!

S.R. RAZIEL: (snorts) You wouldn't be saying that if YOU saw what our brothers turned into...

MIKOTO: Look, we're going into the past now, long before your brother die. Okay, Raziel?

RAZIEL: (sniff) Okay.

We all close our eyes and I concentrate on the Sarafan dominated era of Nosgoth. When I open my eyes, the four of us are outside the Sarafan stronghold.

RAZIEL: Woah, this place is neat! Maybe I'll build a new fortress for my clan lands here!

MIKOTO: Theoretically speaking, you already have a fortress here.

RAZIEL: What do you mean?

S.R.RAZIEL: Does this have something to do with me once being a Sarafan?

RAZIEL: (shocked) How could a vampire willingly become a Sarafan! No wonder you killed our brothers so easily! I'm telling Kain on you!

S.R. RAZIEL: You're an idiot...

MIKOTO: No, Raziel. S.R. Raziel is right. Before you were a vampire, you were human.

RAZIEL: Well, duh.

MIKOTO: But you were also a Sarafan. And this is where you lived as a Sarafan.

RAZIEL: So, first I was a human who killed vampires. Then I became me, who kills humans. And then I become you (points to S.R. Raziel) who kills vampires and humans?

MIKOTO: Right.

RAZIEL: That's messed up...

S.R. RAZIEL: Well, you better learn to deal with it sooner or later, 'cause it's gonna happen, no matter what you do.

The four of us walked towards the stronghold. It wasn't easy getting through with those annoying sorceress's throwing fireballs at us.

RAZIEL: My poor butterfly wings are burnt...

Anyway, we finally made it into the stronghold. We traveled through those big, long annoying corridors until we came upon a pair of bloody Sarafan corpses in the stronghold garden.
