Disclaimer – This is the second and last one. I don't own any of the characters. I don't work for Eidos or Crystal Dynamics. Don't read it if you don't like it, Blah Blah Blah.
Authors Note – There will be a plot with Turel. It will have suspense. So if you review I've taken care of it. I have no idea about Zephon's character either so I'm winging it.
Raziel's Daunting Task
Raziel was almost into Melchiah's territory. He enjoyed the way that the wind caressed his wings. He had almost lost them; he had to beg Kain to let him be his messenger. Not that it was a bad task, it was just time consuming. He trusted his clan but he did begrudge Kain's occasional messages. This would be his last flight as a messenger; he had found Kain a group of humans to deliver messages. Not a day too soon, he trusted his servants, but in the event of an attack they couldn't effectively lead his clan to victory.
He saw the tower that was his brother's chamber. He glided into the hallway and ran towards the council room of the Melchihim. The servants knew well by now to keep out of his way. He often brought important news and they were to stay out of his way. The last time he had come one of them hadn't moved fast enough and Raziel had kicked him out of the way. The man had a sore spine for two weeks after that. He pushed the door open and burst into the room.
Melchiah looked up "Raziel what brings you here? Is there more bad news?" "Yes my brother, Turel; has disobeyed our father yet again, we are to execute his clan along with Zephon's clan." "He can't be serious." "Ah, but Kain is brother, he is indeed very serious." "Alright, we will attack at nightfall tomorrow ?" "Yes". With that Raziel left the chamber like a storm wind. He had to get to Zephon tonight.
He took off from the turret and felt the wind against his wings. He would have to be very fast to get to Zephon's before the sun rose. He thought of what he would tell his brother. Zephon had a habit of being a coward and making snares to trap his enemies. They wouldn't have time for any snares. He saw the fortress that was Zephon's sanctuary. He was a bit high up though, he angled downwards and gently circled down to the keep. He ran through the halls and noticed that there were no servants about. That was odd they should be up by now and be preparing for the day. No time to think of that now, he had to get to Zephon. He burst into Zephon's chamber and saw him with a maid who was unconscious and bleeding from the bodice.
"Zephon
we must talk." "Not now I'm almost done with her." "Now
Zephon!" "Alright." and he put the girl down. "It's a
shame for her to die like that instead of in someone's arms.".
She was bleeding onto the floor, Raziel noted Zephon looking at her
bodice. "Zephon, tonight we are to go and destroy the Turelim.
Turel didn't back down we will be reinforced with my clan and
Melchiah's." "Alright. I will be ready." "Good." as
Raziel left, he felt extremely sorry for the maid. Zephon had no
brides of his own and he often needed maids because he drank from
them, or they learned what their fate was. Zephon was a lecher but
he needed love, he was weak in that respect. Who was he to talk, he
had many pleasurable nights with Kain. But now Kain had Umah and he
was left alone. Well, he had a few servants but they were oblivious
to his intentions.
He was almost back to his stronghold. He
hovered down to his chamber and went to his bed. He had to sleep,
for tomorrow would be the battle.
