[Raziel's POV]

'Our Queens, Our Lord Kain looked upon the small twin bundles picking them up. The twin chick lings still embedded within their cocoons. With one swipe we all witnessed, Lord Kain shred the velvet like cocoons opening up the outer skin. Lord Kain never had I ever seen such…affection towards these small bundles. We all witness, Our Master take off his crimson red cape to cover the small babies. The insignia of Kain overlapped the red and the small newly born Queens. I have heard of such breed of vampire they were known; as Kyropterins the highest rank of breed that could possibly be acquired was called 'The High One', but in this case, only Queens have been birthed by the strongest of vampire. I watched seeing; Lord Kain put the Queens in the stone cradle and summon a human servant to his steed. With intrigue, I continued to watch seeing Kain pull out the Reaver slashing the throat of the ravened hair maiden. The girl's snow-white porcelain skin cut with ease with the blade. Lord Kain summoned another servant who held a silver chalice that, Our Lord used only on special occasions such; as this one.

We all witnessed Kain fill his cup with the crimson red liquid taking a deep drink from the goblet. Kain picked up the young Queens dipping hid cloven finger into the goblet of red liquid. Lord Kain gave the green-eyed Queen her first drink of human blood. The young emerald eyed Queen, We watched her lap the blood up quickly, and as for the cobalt-eyed Queen, she refused the sacrifice. Bewildered at this Kain placed the greed-eyed chick ling down examining his new offspring. The first-born Queen stayed in the crib impassive to all that was around her. While, the second born giggled and laughed…such an eccentric child. For the first time in hundreds of years, Kain actually smiled. My brethren and I looked upon this Queen knowing that she would grow up to be one of extraordinary qualities…'
