Review Response:
Lilith: Thank you for the compliments. My little mind has already written the Prologue and first two chapters to Fire-eyes. Don't worry though. Paradox is the sequel to this and will be coming soon.
Grizzy: I know it's short. Thank you for the cookie! GETCHA BUTT ON MESSENGER! And....*runs over and hugs Rahab*
Raziella D. Reaver: Thank you and I will continue this story.
Chapter 8
The vampires of Nosgoth came close to annihallating the Sarafan forces several times over the next several centuries. Kyria and Raziel's friendship grew into a strong love. Kain was becoming more powerful by the nanosecond with the Soul Reaver at his side.
One particular evening, when Kyria and Raziel were alone, sitting on a high perch above a lake, Raziel showed her something both wonderful and dangerous at the same time. He unfurled his newest Dark Gift, a pair of perfect, batlike wings. Kyria looked ready to burst with happiness.
"Raziel! They're wonderful!" she said as she threw her arms around his neck.
"Thank you. But...Kain must be told." Raziel said with a sigh, knowing the possible consquences.
"You can't!"
"I have to."
"He'll toss you into the lake as a traitor!"
"So be it. It must be done." Raziel said, looking away from Kyria.
"Please...just...don't..." Kyria said as crimson tears, red with the blood of her burning flesh, flowed down her cheeks.
"Kyria, I need to tell you something and I need you to listen. Can you do that?" Raziel asked gently. Kyria nodded. "A long time ago, I was out hunting when I saw smoke rising from a small village on the horizion. I got there only to find that it had been ransacked and burned to the ground. For some reason I searched around for survivors. In the wreckage of one house, I found a small child of no more than 1. She had one blue eye and one was violet. The sign of a shapeshifter. I had no use for a human child, so I took her to a place I knew trained shapeshifters. Unfortuanatly, I couldn't keep my nose out of her life. When the child was about...I'd estimate about 6, I listened at some windows when I heard the headmaster speaking to someone. He was talkng about the village that the child had lived in. How he had worked for the Sarafan and had them slaughter the village, looking for a child that could rival his power and to have her killed. The village was the one I had found the girl in. I checked in on her from time to make sure Larnos had not discovered her presence. On the night of the celebration of her graduation from the academy, I approached her. I attacked her, with no intent for killing her, mainly because I feared that Larnos suspected her. My lure worked. She followed me to the Sanctuary of the Clans and nearly killed me." Raziel said quietly, not meeting Kyria's eyes.
"So...it was YOU who took me to the academy?" the woman asked in disbelief.
Raziel nodded solomnly as he pulled Kyria into his arms...
*******************************************************************************************
The nest morning Kyria watched as her mate had the bones ripped from his wings and was thrown into teh Lake of the Dead, damning him to an eternity of relentless agony. Kyria left Kain's empire forever that day, unable to stay there any longer due to the torment she relived ever time she looked at any place she and Raziel had been together. Less than a year later, Kyria gave birth to a child. The little girl, Nya, had Raziel's dark features and Kyria's shapeshifting abilities. She had eyes of blue and the feral vampire green.
Raziel's legacy lives on...
