Prologue

Darkness was devouring him. There was no escape, no way out of this realm of eclipse. He was levitating in the dark sea of oblivion...he felt so weak...

And in this dark world, where he was forced to be, here were a thousands of souls that Soul Reaver has taken since it was made...souls that HE has taken...

They were flying around him, whispering words of misery, of pain. The acid green light was enclosing them; their faces wried with an evil smiles...they were trying to discourage him, to end his enternal fight. His fiery eyes closed, he tried to ignore the voices of his victims...

"Raziel...redeemer...how it comes you ended here...in this hell, where you send us to..."

"You´ll be prisoned here forever, Raziel...time doesn´t mean anything in here..."

"Redeemer...let go...your defiance is useless...let go..."

"Surrender, demon...as the time flows, you´ll become one of us...why that reluctance?"

Raziel. The redeemer of Nosgoth. The messiah. They called him many names. But why? Just to torture him, to tell him that when he saved Nosgoth, he doomed himself. Forever.

And when he wanted to let everything go, suddenly, like a pure daylight, the kind voice spoke to him.

"No. Don´t give up, Raziel. This is not where your destiny leads to..."

His eyes opened. Panting, Raziel tried to find out who said it. But no one was in sight. Was it just an ilusion?

"Who are you?" he asked, hoping that it wasn´t just another dream.

"You will be free soon, Raziel...the day of redemption is nearing...I can promise you that..."

And with that, the voice faded, leaving him alone. But the souls weren´t taunting him anymore; like they realized that he won´t join them. He felt their hate, their anger. However, he didn´t know what to think. Should I trust that voice? Isn´t it just another way how to torture me? And altrough he was afraid to believe it, he felt the presence of something new...of hope.
