PROLOGUE

As Raziel enters Kain's palace  which had been raised upon ruined Pillars of  Nosgoth, he notices his bretheren standing and waiting in shape of circle bearing their clan signs on their shoulders.The palace was big, and the throne room was built at the very circle of Pillars, which had been enlightened by the sun. As Raziel approached Kain had been surprised and was curious about Raziel's change, Raziel evolved bat-like wings. He kneeled in the circle and proudly spread his wings. All eyes were set upon Raziel, yet Kain did not seem impressed. Kain stood up from his throne, and was walking slowly towards Raziel, leaving his enhanced and vampiric looking sword on his throne.

Raziel narrating while all above is happening: "Kain is deified. The clans tell tales of Him. Few know the truth. However, His contempt for humanity drove him to create me, and my brethren.

I am Raziel, first-born of His lieutenants. I stood with Kain and my brethren at the dawn of the empire. I have served Him a millennium. Over time, we became less human and more …divine. Kain would enter the state of change and emerge with a new gift. Some years after the master, our evolution would follow. Until I had the honor of surpassing my lord."

Kain approached Raziel, while gazing upon Raziel's wings, Kain touched them with his claws like he had never seen anything like it in his life. Moments later, Kain rips his wings apart. Raziel fell on the ground from the pain he had been given. Raziel's bretheren were confused, doing nothing but standing still.

Raziel narrating while all above is happening:"For my transgression, I earned a new kind of reward… agony. There was only one possible outcome - my eternal damnation. I, Raziel, was to suffer the fate of traitors and weaklings - to burn forever in the bowels of the Lake of the Dead."

Raziel was later dragged by his brother Dumah and Turel to the edge of the cliff, he tried to resist but was weakened by the horrific pain.

Kain came, had a look upon the lake, and said "Cast him in!"

Dumah and Turel threw Raziel in the lake, Raziel screamed in mid air until he fell in the water which had burn his skin and ended his life slowly.

Raziel narrating while all above is happening:"Tumbling, burning with white-hot fire, I plunged into the depths of the abyss. Unspeakable pain… relentless agony… time ceased to exist… only this torture… and a deepening hatred of the hypocrisy that damned me to this hell.

An eternity passed, and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness. The descent had destroyed me… and yet I lived."

Raziel came to life he realized that he was at the bottom of the lake, horrified by his corpse looking body, he found his old clan sign on cloth next to him, and wrapped it around his upper body to hide his mouth, Raziel's intestines and lower jaw were destroyed, water burned his skin off, his muscles had change color in blue and his ripped wings were still connected to his back, or what was left of them. Suddenly, he hears someone or something saying "Raziel, you are worthy!".
