Disclaimer – I do not own Legacy Of Kain. If I did Kain would have gotten Umah and Umah wouldn't have taken the nexus stone. I'm not making any money from this fic so please don't sue me.

Author's Note – I'm trying to get to Raziel's execution so I'll try to update more.

Elly McGregory – Don't worry it's not Kain. The great lord of Nosgoth wouldn't spy.

Reactions and Repercussions

Umah's POV

I can't remember much of this afternoon. I know that I fought Lucius and beat him badly; but he hurt my wing. I flew through the halls because I knew I would pass out soon. I would get farther if I flew. I fell and someone picked me up. I think it was Raziel, Yes it had to be. Anyone else would have raised an alarm. He took me somewhere and wrapped my wing. Then he brushed my inner wing with his face and kissed the softest part. It had to be him. No one else has wings, except for me.

I know I should be bothered but I don't feel alarmed. I like the fact that he took care of me. I know he wouldn't hurt me, but I think he is too attached to me. That wasn't a get-well-soon-Mom kiss. That was an I-care-about-you kiss. An I-love-you kiss, not an innocent kiss. I will take it up with him later.

I will not mention the fact that I enjoyed it. I would not betray Kain like that. Raziel is playing with fire and he knows this, so why is he doing it? Kain will be furious enough when he learns about his wings. He'll be livid when he finds out about the kiss. If I mention it, Raziel wouldn't be foolish enough to mention it. Why do I fool myself, Raziel is my favored son, why would I condemn him to death?

Perhaps when I get better I will see Rahab. He can tell me about this time and tell me of Raziel. It would be nice to spend time with one of my other sons. I doubt the others would care if I visited their brethren. Yes, I will see Rahab; maybe I will visit Melchaih as well.

Back to 1st (?) Person

Zephon, the cowardly sneak, had run off into an alcove to ponder this latest puzzle. He would never understand how Raziel; who was not lacking in females; would stoop so low as to kiss that purple wench. Even more disturbing was the fact that she was supposed to be their queen and mother. The hardest part of this for Zephon to accept was that he was supposed to accept Umah. Nevertheless he would have to tell Kain. Raziel the right hand of Kain had gone too far. You didn't touch Kain's women; even Dumah, arrogant though he was, knew that. Raziel would be punished very harshly and Zephon grinned at the thought. He would be the one who had caused his downfall.

Unfortunately for Zephon he didn't know that he was being watched, just as he had watched Raziel. His brother knew that something was amiss; and Zephon was part of it. Turel snuck up behind Zephon and turned him around. Zephon's face plainly showed the fear and loathing he had for being caught. Turel wouldn't let him off too easily; he knew Zephon was like a snake in the grass. Zephon knew it was coming but he hated it so much more for Turel's little changes. Turel slammed Zephon into the wall.

"What are you smirking about Zephon?" he demanded

"Nothing brother." He sneered

"I saw the kiss as well as you and you are not going to tell Kain." He commanded

"Of course I'm not. I was merely thinking about my territory's problems." Zephon lied with an oily smile

"You tell Kain and I'll personally throw you into the abyss Zephon." Turel yelled losing his patience.

He set Zephon down and gave him a good shove to remind him who the stronger one was. Then he stalked off, furious at Zephon. Zephon watched him leave and decided that he would certainly, most definitely tell Kain. But not now, the time wasn't right. The time would be right soon. Maybe in a few weeks, or even a few months.
