[Pov Emeroth]

400 years earlier.

I was on the cliff that serves as a terrace in my hiding place, and as I watched the full moon my thoughts went to the older vampire, let's just say he was my boss in the great war against demons I showed you in the paintings, however while I was thinking of him, I wondered what he really wanted if it was that future of wars that there were then it was what he wanted, in truth I know and I knew it was not so, never wanted what was happening, but it was happening.

But I couldn't stop him anymore, I couldn't intervene, the truth is simple I'm not a good leader, I was just an archer and I really believed in my boss's ideals about sacrificing myself to get something, but by now I was the past I could not intervene on the future, obviously the future there were only rumors of a certain "Kain" who wanted to take all the legions of Nosgoth and form his empire.

In truth for me to hear that news was like finding the meaning of why I never set myself as a new leader, Of course I could, but I didn't want to rely on innocent people who were ready to follow the umpteenth decerebrate ready to fight on battlefields just for a ridiculous land, obviously not everyone thinks like me, and so I was going back to my lair when I heard the steps of a march, then I decided to move away from my safe haven to follow the noise of those steps.

And there I saw a legion of vampires, from above they looked speckled, while then once landed in the middle of the trees and hiding me they became people, maybe hundreds, your grandfather had managed to gather some from everywhere, it was strange we're usually a very individualistic race, but at that moment watching all the vampires march under the same flag and under a charismatic leader it was something that made me think of the old days, And while I knew it was dangerous to go where they were going, I ignored the danger and followed them hiding in the middle of the trees, as I continued to follow them.

What you need to know is that Kain was a very ambitious man, and most likely he didn't care what the price was, and whoever followed him on that march didn't care if that was his victory or death, would give anything to fight in order to pursue that vampire's goals.

Anyone who had placed himself among his goals would have been wiped out and would have died, and often even the Sarafan order was the obstacle that stood between him and the conquest of Nosgoth; The Sarafans were an organization of men and women fighting vampires who had sworn as "Santa Missione" to exterminate all vampires in Nosgoth.

but even if they were an army they were only human, they could not defeat a legion of vampires, although it was better not to underestimate, because they were able to stand up to a vampire in battle, but I was aware by logic that Meridian would fall, in fact after a while in battle appeared a legend, I recognized him by his long snow white hair, the soulreaver in his hands, reminded me of a mural I saw in my youth the name was "Prophecy" in fact even in my mind that vampire reminded me of that hero, and even his skills in battle.

Kain was above a mere human warrior, and even for the Sarafans it was virtually impossible to kill him, would surely have broken through the walls of Meridian at that pass.

But unfortunately the new generations tend to forget the ancient enemies of the past, which can reappear and change the fate of a battle, or even if such fortunes could remain unchanged, the second option unfortunately was not the choice for the fate of Kain.

General Hylden, that was the name of the threat that changed the fate, Calling himself Sarafan Lord, he led those humans in that battle, that being had enchanted those humans with its infamous magic, and had made them strong enough to stand up to vampires, it was he who maneuvered the reins to kill us all, and I was so hoping that the soul-reaver would kill him that Kain would win against being, But it was not so, perhaps it was other infamous magic that had launched for the battle or the arrogance of Kain who believed the reavrt was unbeatable, but no blade hit that infernal creature, who wounded your grandfather and threw him in a hole covered with oil.

Kain looks at each other when the demon orders his subjugated humans - Fire! - and then it opened when the fiery arrows touched the oil trap of the pit of flames, so they renamed it, Kain burned inside and cried out with all his might even his mind cried before he lost consciousness.

that was the price to pay for your grandfather, for his good conquest, for his arrogance, no weapon is invincible and he learned that night on his skin, of course I was shocked that the hero of such an ancient mural had been defeated and as I calmed I heard the Sarafans kill the vampires who were escaping from the battlefield, only in the end when they retreated and I no longer perceived any human I jumped out, as I was standing in front of the vampire show, their copycats were dangling in midair, others were on the ground with their limbs popping up wherever the smell of their blood covered the air, the torment of my nightmare was remembering my brothers and sisters in that situation, I watched as I ran in panic that no one saw me, i ran to the pit of flames, panicked feeling fragile and weak, but my goal was to save that unfortunate, of course I went to see inside the hole, and I saw Kain's body burning slowly, So I pulled out my artifact, a bow enchanted with the magic of water, I aimed for the flames and tried not to harm Kain any more than that trap had done and extinguished the flames and threw myself into the smoke that didn't allow anyone to see that dark and dark background.

I thanked myself for being a vampire, my increased eyesight was able to locate the shape of the body and even managed to approach, after which I could see how horribly emaciated it had become, it looked like a mummy with pieces of black flesh and pieces of red flesh, some pieces were also pink, his skeleton was covered only with skin so well visible, his eyes sunken fortunately his eyelids were still there, but his lips had disappeared and the animal teeth appeared, a little gray and blackened due to the fire, The clothes, armor and the boots were attached, it was like seeing a little boy badly fed and that he was losing his life.

His luck was in that heart that was still beating even if slow, I immediately gently took that body in my arms no matter how horrified I was and thinking that he was also dead, but desisted when I felt that heart beating, Of course, I teleported to the nearest place to my hiding place and then entered with Kain in my arms.

I was quick to remove his armor and use telekinesis to hold him up while I prepared the bed on which to put it and cure it, I gave him as a first meal my own blood using a piece of my skirt as an emmostatic string, And I poured blood upon his breast, hoping that I might be able to heal him more quickly, but I could not feed him only and only of my blood, but his physical condition kept me for a whole month by the side of the bed where he lay to feed him I had no medical bandages to cover him even less a blanket that I had not used on the table where I created the bed, so I bet everything on the blood I would give him to survive.

Anyway, after the month, I started hunting again and little by little I got close to Meridian, I even managed to enter it obviously using a passage that only I knew, I found myself listening to a conversation in which we talked about what had happened, That's when I found out that the vampire I rescued was named Kain, and that's what I heard from the voices, obviously after that I captured the human I was aiming at and used him to take a bowl of blood and pour it on Kain at that moment.

at that moment I knew that I could kill him at any time, but something inside of me told me that I should not have done so and that it was better to allow him to live obviously I listened and I never went back with that thought, In fact, my concern turned to the time it took us to recover from what had passed, I spent whole days at that bedside and even nights when I did not hunt for him, I infused my blood, until after a couple of years had become a mannequin, Now you could only see the teeth and bones, but it remained very emaciated, and in that period that returning to Meridian I heard the voices of the father of all vampires Vorador, They said he was alive, and they saw him, and the thing that made me celebrate was when I found out that he had created a race of vampires, and the last one was that he formed a resistance, Of course, there was no better news for the younger vampires and Vorador to have a better plan to cure Kain, and I was convinced of what I had only to seek for the resistance called the Cabal, And in the end hand Kain over to them I obviously didn't know if it would be easy or not.

In fact, I organized myself by passing under the sewers of Meridian, and while I wandered around in that area I noticed something, strange characters, they were two men but then I identified them were hylden were setting up a machine, they called it "glyph" Of course I knew what it was, I didn't think twice about killing them with my bow and then breaking the machinery to allow escaping vampires to escape from that place without creating that barrier that could repel them and create problems.

hen I went on and when I went out into the low-lying city I observed what crime scene was, obviously great to hide certainly no one could suspect, I was able to see a Cabal lurking around the area and I studied like this for weeks in order to give him Kain, but unfortunately I realized late that I was not the only one to follow that girl, in fact in the middle of the second week that I followed her, I saw something fast heading towards her, and then I saw him fall and a silhouette stand Forward to the headless body, forward to the head of the vampire, who hit her had turned I noticed that it was a long-haired black vampire kept in a ponytail, and how not to notice that red uniform, but I cursed mentally when I realized what he did, I had to start all over again.
