“I used to be a vampire. One of the greatest ever, back in the days of Nosgoth when Kain ruled...”
“Sadly, fate isn’t so kind. My life as one of the Seraphan, my death by the very blade I am at the hands of my future self... The constant manipulations of the Hylden, Kain, Vorador, Janos Audrun, and... Mobius.”
“The interference of the latter is why I am here now. I had sucked his soul in a small amount of revenge, and his power and knowledge were mine.”
“Though I had sacrificed myself on the Blood Reaver to MAKE it the Soul Reaver, my sanity forsaken to be my master’s sword... The power of Mobius still ran pure, and the threads of time moved, bringing me with it.”
“When I appeared here, in this place... I was coherent for the first time since before I had impaled myself on the very sword, accepting a fate I had so long denied.”
“I was here because of this warrior, Ranma, whom was then only a boy... And sane because of...”
“HI!”
“Her...”
“Oh, don't be that way, Raz!”
“Raziel!”
“Whatever Raz. It’s because of me, Queen Serenity that you’re here and your mind in one piece!”
“I never said I wanted your help.”
“But you’ve got it, and in helping you, you’ve helped me. My soul went to the very heart of the Imperial Silver Crystal, my Ginzuishou... And it was destroyed, separated into seven beings of pure evil. Your darkness was greater, and acted as a magnet. So in bringing you back to one piece, I was able to bring myself back into one as well.”
“Making the Soul Reaver into a weapon of Darkness and Light.”
“I think the sword looks rather nice with a jewel in the forehead of the skull cross-guard.”
“And I think it looks gaudy!”
“Oh, and a wavy big, black bastard sword isn’t to begin with? What was it, were you vampires trying to compensate for something!?”
“WHY YOU-”
“Can it, Raz!”
“RAZIEL!”
“Right, Raziel. For better or for worse, we’re in this together now, and our powers benefit this boy greatly. I have been able to keep his soul and mind in one piece and you... Give him the power to fight back.”
“...At least we have THAT to agree upon.”
“Definitely Raz.”
“RAZIEL! FOR THE LOVE OF THE EIGHT PILLARS, RAZIEL!!!”
“Sure, Spielberg.”
“...If destroying you didn't mean forfitting my own existence, I would kill you myself.”
“Yeah, being fused into one artifact and then astral-connected to a lovely boy kind of destroys the whole loner thing for you, doesn’t it?”
“...I fucking hate you...”
“And I love you!”
“AAARGH!!!!”
(------)
Setsuna stared wide-eyed into the Gates of Time, occasionally twitching here or there from what she was seeing.
The Ginzuisho was reformed into one artifact ahead of schedule.
It was now also part of a large BAS3, (Big Ass Soul-Sucking Sword).
And it was in the hands of THAT trouble-maker!
There was only one thing to do she had to check on...
