"Yes, Your Grace?"

          "Umah has just informed me, that Kain is starting to stir in his sleep.  Since Umah cannot tell Kain exactly where Sanctuary is, I need you to go talk to tapster of the local tavern."

          "What am I to say to say to this tapster?"

          "You are to inform the tapster, to tell Kain "Seek the messenger near the warehouse, for he has news for you."

          "But how will the tapster know it is Kain?"

          "Do not worry about it, there are more pressing manners to attend to, leave now!"

          So, I turned and left, my long black robe billowing behind me as I quickened my pace.  My name is Radmel; I am one of the few surviving members of the Cabal.  "Vorador never gives me the respect I deserve!  Why must I do meaningless tasks, I should be out hunting Sarafan!"  I cursed under my breath

          I arrived on the city streets a little after midnight, the tavern would be closing in about an hour or so.I had to hurry!

          As I was walking along main street I spotted a Sarafan talking to a merchant.  I badly wanted to kill him, but I couldn't jeopardize the mission, besides I'm sure he'll be there when I get back.

          I arrived at the tavern I looked in the window and I could see waitresses cleaning up after the evening's customers.  The tapster was cleaning beer glasses.

          "What to do about those waitresses?"  I then smiled as an idea came to my mind.

          I kicked the door open so hard, that all the candles in the place went out.  I ran inside I could see the outlines of the waitresses, I grabbed them and pulled them outside.

          After I had murdered them, I went back into the tavern, I looked behind the bar, I could see the outline of the Tapster curled up into a ball, obviously frightened by what he had heard.I smiled.

          "Tapster!" I said

          "W-w-where are you!"

          "I am everywhere, I.am the night.I have a message that you must deliver."

          "W-who do I deliver it to?"

          "You will know who to deliver it to. the message is "Seek the messenger near the warehouse, for he has news for you."

          "Y-y-yes alright"

          "Good"

          Light suddenly flooded into the tavern, I watched the shopkeeper crawl under the counter

          A sneering voice came from beyond the door "I know you're there Vampire!  The next times you try to kill someone make sure they are completely dead!

          "The waitresses!  They must have informed the Sarafan!"

          I smiled; now that my job was done I could finally prove that I could handle the Sarafan!  Three armed Sarafan ran in.The battle had begun.

          The tallest one leaped at me, I sidestepped him and grabbed his sword as he hit wall.  As he was standing up I shoved it into his head.  The fatter of the Sarafan gasped as I turned around and locked eye to eye with him.

          "I kill one of your allies, and now you are already cowering with fear!  Sarafan indeed!"

          The feeling of rage and pride was coursing through me, as I started to run toward the scared Sarafan, Time seemed to slow down yet I was still moving the same speed.  This must be my Dark Gift, How I had waited for this moment!

          I shoved my claw right through his armor and into his heart.  I could feel the blood coursing down my arm, Never had I had this feeling; It was the greatest feeling I'd ever known.  The feeling then turned to pain, white-hot pain.  I looked down at my shoulder, and I saw that long steel blade sticking out. 

          I had knocked the Sarafan to the ground.  I could see again, I ripped the sword from my back, and shoved it through its master's chest.

          I collapsed onto the floor.  How did I get my vision back!  How could it be possible!  I started to drink from there corpses, As I drank I could feel my strength coming back, I stood up.

          I ripped the head from the Sarafan who stabbed me, I would show this to Vorador, and get the respect I deserve!

          As soon as I shambled into the Sanctuary, Vorador greeted me with a smile.  "So you've finally returned." he stopped mid-sentence obviously noticing my wounds, he then smiled again "I see you encountered trouble along the way."

          Gasping, I through the head of the Sarafan onto the ground, and collapsed.

          "Vorador he needs treatment!" said another Vampire.

          "Fine, drag him into the bedroom.I think I hear Kain coming now."
