Rose Among Black Thorns
Act II: Unbirth[Raziel's POV]
Many months have passed since the day the golden haired goddess came to our Sanctuary. Kain on the other hand was in somewhat of a trance; as if his mind was somewhere else. The weeks passed and still Our, Lord Kain was acting if he was expecting something to occur this day. Alas, something did occur that night two cocoons were left on Our, Lord's throne. Kain had a smile on him as he picked up the two cocoons with both of his clovened hands rocking them; as if they were babies. Up to that day the cocoons remained in two stone cradles where they sat beside me, Lord. The cocoons never left Kain's sight; as if he was a mother bird protecting her egg. A day when Kain had left the two cocoons unattended one of my brethren, Dumah made a wrong mistake getting close to the cocoons. Dumah as foolish as he was came closer to the cocoons touching the outer layer of their shells. Feeling movement from within, the soft shells; for all of our bravado we all knew what it meant. Dumah's punishment would exceed beyond the quota of Kain's wrath.
Kain did indeed return seeing Dumah near the cocoons on that day Dumah was punished severely for touching the cocoons. Days after Dumah's torture Lord Kain called me to his chambers, approaching with the utmost caution seeing him looking out the window; as he held watched over the two eggs like cocoons.
[End of Raziel's POV]
"Raziel…you may come in…," Kain.
"My Lord you called?" Raziel had asked.
Kain had turned around holding the two cocoons; as both were glowing. Raziel looked at the glowing cocoons amazed. The sight was a sight to behold even for a vampire like him. Kain put the cocoons on his bed as he turned to face his right hand. Raziel bowed; as Kain nodded for him to get back up.
"Raziel take these cocoons to the throne room call the brethren and my other daughters the time for the birth is upon us," Kain had ordered Raziel. Raziel had bowed and smiled taking the two cocoons carefully into his arms leaving off with them to the Sanctuary of the Pillars, where the Council and Kain's other daughters were waiting at. Raziel couldn't help, but stop to stare at the glowing cocoon's that were in his hands. Raziel could feel movement from within the shell. The cocoons indeed had something growing inside. Something that Kain had guarded with his life for the past couple of weeks. The skin of the cocoons began to move rapidly; as they pulsed. Something inside was trying to get out, Raziel began to run to the chamber of the Pillars where his brothers sat with their blood mates. All of the Council had stop to stare at him as he walked up to the stone cradle in the middle and place them both gently inside. Kain arrived looking over at his ever growing brood, Kain smiled.
Raziel took his seat as he and all of the vampires looked upon the cocoons. The entire court was in awe, fledgling that stood guard even stopped to stare; as Kain stood near the cradle waiting to receive the thing he wanted most. All of a sudden the sound of the ripping of skin of the cocoons and the cries of two twin female chick ling kyropterin vampires…
