Thanks for being humored, people -FeralRaziel
So soon thereafter the job started. Kratos and Raziel boarded a boat to Athens. Of course, Kratos brought a couple of women. But Raziel, deciding to wait until he had known Kratos longer, made no attempt to bitch him out about it. The wraith merely sat on the deck, eyeing the statue of Athena interestedly. But he could only be so interested; he'd never been on a boat before. Then it started raining.
Soon after, the boat was slammed against a larger boat and Kratos came flying up on deck. The Spartan glanced at the wraith fleetingly and leapt up onto the other boat. There were splintering sounds among the roaring water. Raziel sat for a bit and figured to go after him.
He meandered through the carnage and death and stopped to look at things here and there. He couldn't help but to appreciate a change of scenery…that was until a giant sea serpent slammed him into the siding with its head. The wood shattered and Raziel found he'd taken a shortcut into the hull.
The wraith looked up, disgruntled, to find Kratos looking down at him. There was a long pause. "What?" Raziel asked defensively.
After much zombie soldier slaughter, they came to the deck of a boat with people running around in circles of fear. A fat man with a key around his neck ran up to Kratos. "Do something Ghost of Sparta, before…!" He was cut off when two serpents burst through opposite sides of the deck and started devouring people.
Raziel was going to laugh, but just then a gigantic sea serpent rose out of the rolling waves. This monstrosity was taller than the mast. It swooped down and gulped up the fat man.
"Didn't we need that key?" Raziel asked.
"The beast must die!" Kratos said and started up the rope towards the crow's nest.
"…Yeah, you take care of that." Raziel said. The smaller Hydra's were snapping at him. He immediately noted the hooks used to move boxes being conveniently placed above their heads. The wraith brought both of them crashing down with a motion of his hands. The serpents squirmed and writhed, but were hopelessly impaled.
Raziel sat on one hook, above a writhing Hydra, and thanked the death of his brother Turel for his telekinetic abilities. "You know, you remind me of another brother of mine." He said into the creature's gills before watching the small dot that was Kratos battle the gigantic Hydra.
Eventually the Spartan somehow managed to get the creature to impale its own little brain on the broken mast of the ship. Its mangled head slid all the way down and came to a rest on the planks of the deck.
To Raziel's surprise, Kratos went to walk into the wide-open maw of the dead Hydra. "You, you're coming with me." He said pointing to the SoulReaver. "That's okay, really." "Just in case!" Kratos shouted.
So there they were, standing in inches of Hydra saliva. "Thank the gods, you came back to save me!" the fat man said. "I didn't come back for you." Kratos said as he yanked on the key around the man's neck. "But…! No!" And the man fell to his untimely death.
Raziel's mouth would've hung open if he had one. "You just killed that guy." He managed to say. "Can't handle that?" Kratos asked as he grabbed the wraith's arm to lead him out of the hydra's mouth.
"Its just that…I didn't think you worked that way is all. Its your quest, kill whomever you please." Raziel shrugged. Kratos gave him a 'That's damn straight' look. They made their way back to their boat and Raziel stayed up top again.
