Disclaimer – I do not own Legacy of Kain.

Elly McGregory – Yeah I wanted it to be a bit different. I didn't just want it to be another retelling of Raziel's fall, I wanted it to be more seductive and more gradual. The added betrayal doesn't hurt either.

Author's Note – Sorry if I made Dumah too noble. I've never played Soul Reaver or Soul Reaver 2 so I don't really know what they're like. I've only read about them from other author's fanfics.

Sins Of The Son

Two weeks later

Umah knocked on Kain's door, waiting for the master vampire to open it. He would glare at the unfortunate visitor before he would realize it was her. She heard his steps and the removal of the mahogany door revealed his face. He looked tired; but that was quickly covered up by the sudden light in his eyes. That light that shone for her and her alone. She gazed into his falcon's eyes and smiled serenely.

He swept her into his arms and hugged her fiercely. Umah's knees turned into water and she was suddenly so grateful for Kain. If Kain wasn't there she would have fallen to the ground. She wouldn't have had it any other way; his arms were her paradise. She kissed him and looked deep into his eyes. So deep that he was certain she could see his very heart and everything in it.

"I have missed your company Umah." Kain said

"And I have missed yours Kain. I have been healing and you have been working so hard. We haven't had time for each other." Umah said

"We will have to change that." He remarked "How has your healing progressed? How were you injured?"

"I had been fighting with Lucius in the sparring chamber. He struck my wing and left a deep scratch in the middle of it. The healing is almost finished and will leave no mark on my wing." She informed her lord

'That is very good, as are your affections." He answered with a smile

She kissed him and wrapped her wings around him as he kissed her deeper. There was no way that the emperor of Nosgoth was getting away from his empress. Her feathers were brushing lightly against his neck and his fangs found her tongue. His hair obscured her vision as he drew her blood. Her blood was the sweetest crimson mead that he had ever had. She was wine and fire, yet honey and spice; an enticing combination. So enticing that he was tempted to drain her of all her blood.

He withdrew his fangs as she moaned in pleasure. The punctures quickly healed as the amethyst skinned vampire opened her eyes. Kain held her and she rested her head against his chest. He closed his eyes and took in her warmth and her scent. They stood like that for aeons until Umah folded her wings. Reluctantly she stepped away and noticed the night's end. They had both been awake for over a day. She looked at Kain and noticed how tired he looked.

"My lord would you spend the day with me?" she purred

"Of course my queen.' Kain replied

Meanwhile

"I cannot believe that our mother would allow such a thing. Surely she would have run to Kain by now and told him of our sibling's transgression." Dumah stated

"But she hasn't and it is our duty to see that our insolent superior is punished. Our lord will thank us for shedding light on this matter.' Zephon replied

"Raziel will only get a slap on the wrist before our lord returns his attention to other matters." Dumah retorted

"But it is our duty to inform Kain. Raziel would undermine us if we had done such a thing. So must we undermine him. Think of it as revenge for his meddling my brother, it is just sweet revenge." Zephon cajoled

"I cannot deny your logic, but Raziel will fall and it will be the cause of much rage and grief. I cannot forgive myself for what we shall do." Dumah stated

"Then let him fall.' Zephon replied with a smile
