It was morning when Raziel next awoke; he had finally been able to get some sleep, even after the vividry of his dream.
The sun was spilling in through his black and red, archaically velvet curtained window, and though it didn't cause him to combust like it would many others, he was still no fan of direct sunlight.
He closed his eyes and rubbed the sleep from his face.
He opened his eyes once more and looked around his room.
It was a large room, almost the size of a large entertainment room, his closet at the far end and his bed against the window closest to the door.
His entire house was carpeted heavily with a thick lush carpet, gray but lustrous in texture.
Throwing his legs over the edge of his bed and standing up, he walked down to the other end of the room to his closet, pulling the sliding door open, he slowly picked out today's attire, he was still wearing his cloak as a method of clothing, but let it slip when he started to sort through his other garbs.
He was standing there naked, and with no reason to be ashamed, for one he was alone, and another he had never had a complaint about his manhood, though not being repulsively enormous he was still larger than average, measuring in at close to 10" but he was in no way at this moment exited like that, and so his true size was somewhat masked.
He decided on a dark brown leather breast plate and a black pair of leather pants, and as always he wore his crest, and again as always he chose the same cloak, he smiled slightly at this fact as he reached over to pick it up from the floor and placed it into the pile on the bed.
After stretching he started to assemble his garments upon himself, beginning with his pants pulling them over his legs slowly.
"Damn these are tight, when was the last time I wore these?" he said pulling a little harder this time.
After managing to squeeze into the pants he placed on his breast plate and cloak, finishing the look with his studded arm guards, on either arm.
He walked out of his room down the hallway, making note that he hadn't eaten since two days the previous, and thought that he should probably catch a peasant or two to replenish himself.
He opened the door to the kitchen and walked in, going to the coffee maker on the bench next to the sink, and turning it on at the wall, he then reached bellow and opened the cupboard and grabbed the coffee beans, then placing then into the correct slot, he added water into the pot and switched it to percolate.
Taking in a deep breath, "mmm that coffee smells great, I wonder what brand it is" and checking the packet, read aloud " Deep Roasted Vienna, huh, I'll have to buy some more of that".
He went to the door opened it and grabbed the newspaper from the step.
The Daily Chronicle.
"Hmmm lets see what's happening in the world," he said staidly
"2 dead in west Nosgoth blah blah blah turn page new mayor blah blah blah ooooh the funnies" he smiled, looking at the comics page.
(5 mins later)
"Ha ha ha he heh ehe hahahaha hehe eheheh, sigh that phantom, what mischief he get into" the winged vampire remarked as he placed the paper into the middle of the paper and got a cup out of the cupboard, and placed it on the bench.
Still snickering, he began to pour the coffee into his cup and added two sugars and a quart of cream to the mixture, and stirred lightly.
Sitting back at the table he sipped at the coffee and crossed his legs in a fashion so as to hold the paper open in his "lap".
He continued through the paper until he had finished his coffee and placed it into the sink.
He then set about going over to Kain's mansion to discuss some business.
