Chapter One - Kain - The Sarafan StrongholdDark Chronicle - PrologueKain V.O.: We are reminded of past events, of Kain's empire, and the execution of Raziel, his first and greatest lieutenant. We see how Raziel became a reaver of souls, and how he pursued Kain through the Chronoplast portal into Nosgoth's history. Kain V.O.: A cloud of bats come together on the roof of the Sarafan Stronghold. Kain materializes from them. The full moon is rising behind him. Kain begins his infiltration of the building. Kain V.O.: Kain passes through a gate in mist form. He chuckles quietly, then kills a guard. Kain V.O.: Kain drinks the guard's blood from the neck. He lets the body drop, wipes his mouth, and continues. Kain V.O.: Kain pauses to let two Sarafan pass by, overhearing their conversation. First Sarafan: Second Sarafan: First Sarafan: Second Sarafan: Kain V.O.: The Sarafan StrongholdKain finds himself in the prison of the Sarafan Stronghold. A woman, chained to a wall, captures his attention. She screams, terrified. Female prisoner: Kain: (stroking her cheek) Female prisoner: Kain V.O.: Kain kills whomever he wishes, and destroys a fractured wall to leave the prison. Kain emerges into a narrow courtyard and encounters a lone Sarafan archer. Sarafan Archer: Kain uses telekinesis to impale the Sarafan on a wall spike. He then examines the area. A water channel runs through it. Kain V.O.: Kain finds a door, sealed and marked with an image resembling the Reaver's skull. Kain V.O.: Kain tests his idea, but the barrier remains intact. Kain V.O.:
Kain enters the main hall of the Stronghold. A portcullis slams down behind him, sealing the door. He pushes at it for a moment with his foot. Kain V.O.: In the hall, Kain finds an artifact - the Balance Emblem - mounted on a pedestal. The door shuts suddenly, and he is confronted by two Sarafan Archers. First Sarafan Archer: Second Sarafan Archer: When the Sarafan are dead, Kain claims the artifact. Kain V.O.: Kain's thoughts are interrupted as he is attacked by a group of Sarafan. Sarafan: Kain: Kain defeats the Sarafan party. He examines another door, sealed with a blessed barrier. Kain: He is able to destroy it. Kain makes his way to the chapter house (the Oroboros room), and deals with a few more Sarafan warrior-priests there. He examines a strange sealed doorway. Kain: Dark Chronicle - Moebius Gains The Upper HandKain finds Moebius in the depths of an underground cavern. The Time Streamer has his back to Kain, and he is talking to a standing stone (marked with his infinity sigil), presumably conversing with the Elder God. Kain stalks forward cautiously, drawing the Reaver. Moebius: Moebius addresses Kain, slowly turning. Moebius: Kain strides purposefully towards Moebius. Kain: Moebius: Kain: Moebius: Kain: (angrily) Moebius activates his staff, and Kain drops to his knees. He loses his grip on the Reaver, and clutches at his chest in agony. Moebius: Kain makes a great effort and reaches toward the Reaver, but he fails to grasp it. Moebius perches himself on one knee in front of Kain, within easy reach, were it not for the staff. Moebius: Again, Kain tries for the Reaver. Again, he fails. Moebius: Moebius stands. Moebius: Insultingly, Moebius nudges the Reaver closer to Kain with his foot, demonstrating his control of the situation. Moebius: The Time Streamer turns and walks away. Moebius: Moebius pauses and half turns back to Kain. Moebius: The door seals behind Moebius. Kain, now recovering from the effects of the staff, rises slowly. Shades appear to confront him. Kain V.O.: Underground CavernKain defeats the Shades. Kain V.O.: |
