Chapter 3: Stories
Raven simply stood there, staring at this creature, mouth agape. Kardol, exspecting this kind of reaction, just sat there in the sofa, staring right back at her. After staring what seemed like an eternity, a sudden clicking sound, followed by the racket of a cannon charging up was heard inches from Kardol's head. "Dont. Even. Blink." Cyborg said. His body's auto-repair systems fixed his broken arms the best they could, giving him acess to his cannon once more. Then he aperently snuck up next to Kardol, eager to blow his brains out. Kardol didnt even turn his eyes to Cy and spoke. "Tell me, how good are you with that gun?" he asked. "Right now, it doesnt matter, freak." Cyborg relied, just waiting for Kardol to give him a reason to fire. Kardol, still looking at Raven, smiled. "If you want to kill me, kill me. I wont try and stop you. But if you do, you'll never know why im here, will you?" This casued Cy to lower his weapon by a few millimeters. "Cyborg..........please." Raven's soft voice uttered. Cy looked at her. Her face was full of concern. After hesitating for a moment, Cy finally lowered his cannon, however he didnt change it back.
The other Titans were getting back up as well. Star was unharmed despite the fact her head was pounding. Robin hadn't sustained much damage and got up with ease, rushing to aid Starfire. Beast Boy, however, didnt move at all. He remained lieing there, looking like a overcooked chicken on the 4th of July. Robin and Starfire gave him a look of dread. "Dont worry, he's just stuned," Kardol said, "I only shot a fraction of my power. I had no intetion to kill anyone today." Cyborg looked at the chared BB, then back at Kardol. "You call that stuned?" he asked angrily. Kardol finnaly broke his gaze on Raven and looked at Cy with a taunting smile. "Imagine what would happen if i gave all my power." he said. Cyborg, annoyed, sat down across from the beast, holding his cannon close. Robin and Starfire sat in the loveseat next to Kardol. Raven remained standing.
"Right, i guess i owe you all an explination." Kardol finnaly said after a long silence. "As i said, im here to protect Raven......from our father." Raven looked at him with questioning eyes. "How did this happen? I thought i was His only child." she said. "You thought wrong." Kardol replied. "Look, its like this:"
"My name is Kardol Mokames. I was born 957 years ago in a realm of warrior people known as the Kohr. The Kohr loved to wage war, wither it be for land or just the thrill of battle. They loved to fight. That was their greatest weakness. One day, they encountered an enemy that they couldn't defeat, and being stubborn as they were, suffered unneeded casulties. Father saw this as a golden oppritunity. He came to the Kohr leaders, and promised to help them defeat this new enemy. In exchange he would marry any Kohr female he desired. He chose my mother....."
"Father married my mother and she bore not only me, but my older brother, Kardak." He paused for a moment to let Raven take in another shock. "Both Father and Kardak treated my mother like scum, ordering her to do any task they wanted, even beating her. My first few hundred years of life were not pleasant." Raven, along with the other Titans, couldnt help but feel sorry for Kardol. Starfire even attempted to give him a hug, only to be shot down by a ice cold look from the beast. "Anyways, Father didnt keep up on his end of the bargan, and the Kohr lost to thier enemy. He along with Kardak left my mother and me to be persecuted by our own people. Evenually they banished us, and we were forced to live in the harsh wilderness of our land. My mother evenually died of sickness, and i wondered the world alone for 500 years. Recently, Father found me, told me about you, and struck a deal with me: I find you and bring you to him...." he seemed to drift off. Raven blinked a few times. "And? What would you get?" she inquired. Kardol looked at her, fear in his eyes. "My father is a horrible demon, and the Gods didnt bless me at my birth. I have his evil in me. He promised to rid me of it." Raven looked down. Guess some things run in the family she thought. Kardol picked his story back up. "I knew how good he was at keeping promises, so i bluffed. I promised to find you, but i had no intention of bringing you back." Raven couldnt help but smile at him.
"Thats why i have to protect you." Kardol said, "It wont take long for Father to figure it out and send his asassins after us." He slumped down and sighed. Everyone remained silent for a few minutes. Raven finally spoke up. "Well.....thank you.................brother." she said softly. Kardol looked at her and smiled, then looked around at everyone. "I guess I need a place to stay......" he said hessitantly. Cyborg stood up and put his cannon away. "Hey, man. Any bro of Raven's is a friend of mine." he said. Robin noded in agreement. "Oooh, i welcome you, brother of friend Raven!" Starfire said, finnally able to give Kardol a hug. After quickly pushing her off and standing up, he looked around. "Um, there should be an empty room a few floors down." Robin said. Kardol noded at him and headed towards the elevator door. Raven watched him as he entered and started down without saying a word. Everyone turned thier attention to her. She looked back at all of them. "I need to meditate." she said and flew off to her room.
The Titans stared at each other as Beast Boy finnally woke up. "Ugh....what i miss?" he said grogily.
