*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Voice of The Dead
My musings were interrupted by a chocked noise.
I spun around, summoning the Reaver immediately, meeting..
Nothing? It was obvious that something was amiss, that or my eyes and ears deceived me. No, that was not it. I glanced around at my surroundings then wished I hadn't. All I was greeted by were the impaled forms of long dead vampires.
A choked cough, "H-Help. Me."
Or maybe not quite so dead as they would have liked. I approached the minute forest of spears and stakes, towards the weak voice.
"P-please.." There was a ragged intake of breath. I turned to the source of this. It was a female vampire, barely alive. Crucified, by the cruel hands of the Sarafan. She turned her face to me, and I could not help but feel pity for her. She had been innocent, all of them had. What had these vampires done to deserve this??
"I shall help you child, but answer me this, if you can. Did you see anyone pass this way recently?"
She breathed in as deep as she could, then spoke on a failing voice, "Yes s- sir. Another vampire of a sorts passed through h-here."
To the Pillars. Well, at least I knew the likely whereabouts of Kain. There were not too many vampires that could walk with ease about the land.
"Did you see any of the Sarafan pass by? Did you see any at all, in the distance?"
She grimaced. Maybe mentioning the Sarafan was not a very tact idea. However, I needed to know.
"T-They did n-not pass me b-by, sir.. They passed i-into the East.. I-I saw not where." She gasped, and if she could have, she would have doubled over in pain. Again I pitied her. Not a feeling that usually stirs within me.
"Thank you child. I shall help you as best I know how." So I helped her. The only way to do so was by killing her.. She did not feel a thing.
I walked on a little way, trying with all my might to ignore the dull pain still. So, the Sarafan had opted to go North via the sea. Very wise, and very safe. Well, it seemed that I had a long way to go yet. Over the land. Joy.
I continued on towards the pillars, but soon I was faced with a small dilemma. The path eventually led to a set of stairs, and where in the future there had been a bridge.. There was no one now. I just knew that half a wing was going to cause me big problems. Here was the proof. I could try.
I gripped my good wing, then tried to hold out my second, soon letting go. It was,.. Tender to say the least. I sighed. More climbing, it seemed was in store for me. I leapt as far as I could over to the opposite wall, digging in my claws as soon as I hit. It was not easy going. Most of the rocks over hung, and were rather slippery. Damn the waterfall.
After a while of scrabbling, slipping and climbing, finally I cleared the face and approached the gates to the pillars. Taking note of the drained corpses, I walked forward into what would become the seat of Kain's empire.
"Show yourself. I know you are here."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jessie: Bweh! Okay another chapter. Hoo boy. Now I have to try and deal with a dialogue heavy scene with Kain.. Ooooh I can't wait. AND I can't find my notes!! AAARRRGGH!! Anyone want to give me any ideas as to what the hell I could do?
Chibi-Vash: *mutters about careless authoresses who lose their notes* She needs help. Really.. In more ways than one..
Jessie: Little git!! Come here!! *jumps at Vash*
Chibi-Vash: *squawks and runs*
Duo: cdffjgtrt,tlpupumtr *TWEEEEEEET* (Translation: Here are those shout outs for all you reviewers. Be right back, just gotta sort out those two cases.)
