Chapter 1: The Wheel Keeps Turning

Authors Notice: Sup everyone this is Dusk Stalker the author of A Devil Hunter Among Ponies(DMC/MLP Crossover), so what we have here now is Soul Reaver Crossover, so for those thinking that I abandoned Dante, I haven't and I assure everyone that the story isn't dead I will go back to it everyone now and then, you have my word, now onward!

What did it mean? Pain...freedom...what rang throughout the Pillars of Balance? What did it truly represent? Why did he not see the true intention of the Sarafan Brotherhood? So many questions but so many hidden answers ran through a vampires mind, but this one particular vampire knew what it meant. His name was Raziel a blue skinned vampire with a brown cloth wrapped around his mouth and huge claws on his feet and hands, was now unconscious, he was once a trusted Lieutenant in Kain's army but now was a Wraith thanks to his leader...out of jealousy and spite Kain ripped his wings when Raziel evolved before his master, to add insult to injury The council which Kain led condemned him to death, making him to what he is today. But now Raziel did the last thing he wanted to do, giving Kain the power to kill his previous master; the Elder God, the ruler of the Material and Spectral Realm.

Knowing Kain succeeded at defeating the Elder God brought some peace to Raziel as he was floating inside the Reaver, but did it truly bring peace to Raziel? He kept pondering in his conscious mind as he was floating, noticing the emptiness of the void. Raziel hated Kain for what he did to him, but somehow was thankful enough to bring a small amount of closure knowing that Kain was the Savour of Nosgoth and Guardian of the Pillars. Raziel could only look back on his feats in a cold manner, the Hylden's death, Moebius the Guardian of Time, Janos. But the one that stuck out the most was his execution and the vampires who did it were his brothers, Turel and Dumah, the very brothers that fought beside him in the Vampire-Hylden War many years ago.

But that was in the past and he didn't like remembering that time, the only thing that mattered was the death of the Elder God and that was that. The only thing that Raziel could do was still be the Anchor of the Soul Reaver and giving his power to fuel the blade, the only fate that was in store for him.

" Raziel..."

Raziel woke up as he got into position as a green blade exited out of his right hand, the Wraith Blade, the spiritual form of the Soul Reaver when it was destroyed, was now bound to Raziel and it was his only companion in his journey despite it being a non sentient blade.

"Raziel..." He heard the voice again shaking it out of his head and concentrating on finding the source of the voice, he turned around to see a small orb of light in front of him, he was ready to strike but set his Wraith Blade aside as he quizzically examined the orb of light.

" I am real Raziel...you have nothing to fear from me." The voice sounded angelic and Raziel could feel warmth spread out through his body.

" Who are you?" Raziel asked, the orb giggled, "you could supposedly say I was one of the first 'soul' in the Reaver."

" Are you from the Spectral Realm?" Raziel questioned the ball of light.

"You could say I am not from Nosgoth or any of the realms."

" Speak clearly spirit, I have no wish to fight or deal with your petty greetings." Raziel said slightly irritated.

"Patience Raziel, all will be answered right now." The orb said, Raziel could only sigh in defeat at this as he crossed his arms and listened intently.

"Now then, I am from Nosgoth but not from any of the realms that are known, I come from a realm above Nosgoth, something the Elder God refused to acknowledge."

" How arrogant of him ." Raziel said, " I should have questioned his motives when he was all to willing to be my ally all to easily."

"I am not an agent of him or Moebius, you can say I am an angel."

" An angel hm?" Raziel could only chuckle at that angels never existed in Spirit form, and the lie this one was telling was that it was definitely from the Spectral Realm. But he pushed that theory out as they were both trapped in the Reaver.

"Yes please believe me I have not come to torment you or punish you for what you have done in the past." The orb said in a reassuring manner.

" Then why have you come? I thought the Reaver never allowed anyone form in unless stolen or taken from their bodies."

" I attached myself to you right when you gave your soul to the Reaver." Raziel could see some logic in that and it was possible for such spirits to do so at will. Raziel could only wonder why this spirit came, he could never see spirits as they were always corrupt and traitorous on the spot, the silence of the void wasn't helping with his concentration either as he finally decided to break the silence with one question, " Why are you here?"

" I am here to give you a second chance at life." Raziel couldn't believe what the spirit said to him, a second chance, why would it be so sudden it giving him a second chance? The weight of the answer was enough for Raziel to doubt he could get a second chance, the only thing making sure of that was the fact that he couldn't die, despite his sacrifice to the Soul Reaver. The orb seemed to think so as it felt the self doubt in Raziel, " I know this may be a giant...revelation, but it is not a jest I came here to lead you to a second chance."

" And what do you want in return? I don't want to serve another master and be used as his little puppet for its own pleasure." Raziel stated, the statement was a blunt as a spiked mace piercing through armor that the orb of light seemed to flinch a bit at the answer, "You don't have to give me anything, I have seen your life fully Raziel. You could never live with what you done."

" I seemed to have done that just fine when I killed Moebius at the Pillars or my brothers in a manner of speaking." Raziel had no regrets when the Sacrifice was happening, and he never regretted that action.

" I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about the betrayal of Dumah and Turel." That hit Raziel right at home, he could never get over that.

"So do you wish to have that second chance?" The orb asked, " I won't leave this place take as much time as you need, but I must give you this warning if you make this choice, their is no going back."

Raziel pondered at the deal, their was something behind it, no matter how well the spirit hid it there was something else behind it. But for this case, it was sudden, " I wish to have the second chance, but one question, who are you really?" The spirit seemed to taken aback from the question as it laughed, " Why I am nothing more then a harmless emissary sent to give you the offer, nothing more." Raziel rolled his eyes at the answer from the spirit as a large door appeared and a bright white light was issuing from the door, Raziel stole one last glance at the spirit as it motioned for him to go ahead as Raziel took his first step through the door wondering what was on the other side, the spirit gave one goodbye, something Raziel never expected to hear.

"Have fun."

As he gave one last gaze towards the spirit, a thought came to him, the wheel would never end....

Unnatural.

Changeling Hive

Dark mountains surrounded the area as it jagged peaks tore through the dark storm clouds as it protected the most prize possession it could ever hold, a tall twisted black hive rose past the horizon as lightning bolts were hitting the surrounding area, from each bolt a black stream was entering the hive or leaving it, up close they were all black with blue eyes and insectoid wings, each one bearing its fangs at this weather and their atmosphere. But one thing managed to stand out of the darkness, a flash of lightning brightened the area to reveal a monstrous figure kneeling on the ground, a little bit fatigued from his trip.

The figure went by many names, but the name that stuck out the most was the Hylden Lord, the once feared warrior of Nosgoth and the stalwart wall that halted Kain's advance in the past. The warriors appearance remained the same since his defeat at the hands of Kain, but the only thing that was broken was his pride and honor; but what did it matter, he could take his revenge he could finish Kain off no matter what, that's what he told himself from his escape from the Demon Realm. The Hylden Lord got up as he checked his surroundings, he expected the gates of Meridian to be in front of him, but the only thing he could see was the dark hive of the changelings. Slamming his fist towards the ground from this revelation was an embarrassment to himself, first it was Kain who defeated him, then him losing the Soul Reaver.

All of that was gone because of Kain....Kain...Kain...Kain..Raziel..Kain..

"KAIN!!!" The Hylden Lord's power was beyond what he could imagine as quakes rocked the whole area of the changelings territory. He could only look down in punishment and anger in his defeat and remembering the intervention of Janos Audron , until he heard buzzing; he looked up to see a small surprise. A whole circle of changelings as far as the eye can see hissing at the Hylden Lord, ready to defend their territory. But he didn't care, the only thing blinding him was his lust for vengeance; he concentrated a small amount of his energy into his hands, what came out of them was something equally surprising.

"It seems I have learned a bit from the Reaver and the one thing it shared with me," two blades came out of his hands, but they weren't just regular blades, but false Soul Reavers, powerful, but still false as the day he tried to wield the true power of the real Soul Reaver. He readied himself for combat as gust of wind brushed past his leg "Is that their is more then one ." A small grin started to appear as the first changeling charged forward.

Everfree Forest

The forest was quiet and dreaded by the public nearby, feared for its unnatural abilities, the plants and clouds moving all on their own, dangerous beast gracing every tree and nook it could find. Howls from each of the beast echoed throughout the foliage and the clearings of the forest. But it was silenced by bright light appearing at the center of one clearing and a figure gliding through, he landed neatly right in front of the portal as he slowly got up. The bright light behind him dimmed down to nothing as Raziel took in his surroundings.

"Alot like the forest near the Pillars." He could smell the dew from the grass radiating off the ground, the howls of the creatures inhabiting this forest were almost welcoming to Raziel. But what he felt deep down inside, this was like a third death to him, it was like his wheel was nothing more then jammed right at the last ends of his life. He saw so much not even the Ancient Vampires could understand, the purity of sight to see what they praise.

That was what he gave Kain, he wasn't his enemy, nor was he ever going to forgive him, but he was always from what he was at the beginning...his right hand.

Suddenly he heard rustling as he summoned the Spirit Reaver a pale blue glow illuminating the clearing," Come out...Now!" Raziel was no stranger to enemies appearing from nowhere, and just striking at the moment when they would was almost a second nature. What came out of the bushes, almost made Raziel tumble back, a zebra with a mohawk came out of the bushes observing Raziel up and down, gold earrings were hanging from her ears and the same with her neck except they were around her neck.

" Be calm my friend in blue, I have not come for you." the zebra spoke up. Raziel was now almost in a state of shock as he dismissed his blade.

"What in the Scion's name?"

Changeling Hive

The Hylden Lord threw the last changeling body off the one of the false Soul Reavers as he observed the battlefield seeing nothing but a near pond of the dead. He looked up towards the hive and continued forward, but suddenly he felt a familiar stab of energy, he turned around towards the dark horizon and took in the energy. The scent was familiar, and it seemed his vengeance would come sooner then expected....the scent of the spawn of...him. As soon as the Hylden Lord was about to head off in the direction of the energy...

" WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BABIES?!" The voice sent up a large breeze towards the Hylden, he barely looked over his shoulder to see a very angry changeling, but this changeling was very different; her wings were larger then the other's and the horn on her head was jagged and evil, holes graced her legs and the teeth she bore was nothing more then just daggers, her sickish bluish mane seemed to get in the way of her eyes. Her eyes were welled up in a waterfall of tears as anger seemed to seethe from every fiber of her body.

" ANSWER ME WHO ARE YOU!?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BABIES?!" She was outraged, even beyond that as the Hylden Lord titled his to the side and grinned, raising both Reavers, ready for combat.

" I am your worst nightmare ."

Their I go again speaking to myself, now then character wise coming in one of them is on my list( Big thanks to Fanskapet for the suggestion) But so Far its Turel that is on the list. Onward to the next.

Raziel staggered back a bit taking in the sight of the zebra, yes he had seen some creatures that could scare a mortals flesh off, but this actually took everything that he ever encountered into one giant ball and then reality throwing it in his face. He resummoned the Spirit Reaver and was in a combat position; the zebra could sense the uncertainty of Raziel and took a few steps forward, “Be calm my tall blue friend I do not wish for this to end in mischief." Raziel still had the Spirit Reaver up. The zebra took a couple steps forward, not even fearing the Spirit Reaver or the fact that Raziel was in fact the first creature...or whatever he was to ever exist or appear in Equestria.

“Where am I?" Raziel asked, the zebra chuckled a bit, Raziel could sense no weapons on her now; battle was the only thing that filled his mind. He had his doubts about the guises of enemies, but his posture seemed to be slacked up a bit, alert but calm in the face of a possible trap from a Sarafan or Hylden.

“You are in Equestria." the zebra said, " And I am Zecora my blue friend, may I ask what your name is?"

"Raziel." he seemed to be a bit apprehensive of giving his names.

“Such a strange name for a strange creature."

“The feeling and thought is mutual Zecora." Raziel said, Zecora managed to let out a small giggle, “Indeed Raziel, for it is the same."

“So where am I specifically? Raziel asked his grasp on the Wraith Blade still loose but still firm enough to strike.

“You are in the Everfree Forest Raziel," Zecora explained,” For the dangers are not just small some can even be really tall."

“I have seen dangers in the four realms, it won't be surprising to see something I have faced and killed." Raziel said with a bit of fire inside of him.

“Indeed now then Raziel, what are you? Raziel thought it was fair, a question for a question, what was the harm in telling her what he was.

“I was once a vampire, the first born to be created by my master Kain, but..." Raziel froze the betrayal was enough for him to freeze up, " I became this....wraith, an undying spirit, a reaver of souls."

" I see." Zecora nodded, " So you are a reaper and a shepard?"

" To a point.

“Something is troubling you; please tell me I can swear to you your past is your own, and that I have no right to tell what is foretold." Somehow he could sense no lies in her, no dishonesty, no betrayal...nothing. Raziel dismissed his blade as he sighed, whether it was worth to tell his past to an unknown talking zebra he just met for about two minutes. But, a second life was a second life despite it being a direct insult to someone's life at times.

“Shall we talk about this at your house first...if you have one?" Zecora nodded at this and led the way through a thicket of bushes, curious to know what was ahead...

If it really was a trap or not.

Changeling Hive.

The big changeling was thrown backwards towards the mountains wall, struggling to get up from the blow from the Hylden Lord. He could only look down at the determination of this...whatever she was; her spirit was enough, despite the pain she was in. He took a few steps forward, the false Soul Reavers dragging debris in a canal, killing intent in his eyes. The light from the sky seemed to penetrate the dark clouds to show the pale sheen on his armor, the flames surrounding his head were intensifying.

" You are something...a being capable of not staying down when in defeat ." The Hylden Lord pointed out.

" Y...you...y.ou-."

The Hylden took in his surroundings and he looked towards the horizon, barely seeing the light from the sun penetrating the dark clouds; but it was quickly swallowed up as soon as that light made contact with the ground. He turned his head towards the changeling.

"Your name...what is it?"

"C..Chrsaylis....why do you ask my name." grimacing a bit from the pain she was dealt from the Hylden Lord;

"Let's just say you can be of some use to me."

" T...Then what is your name?" Chrysalis asked still afraid of the Hylden Lord, he thought back to his name...but he decided one name to disgrace the name of the vampires.

"Janos." lying about his name was one thing, but this was the exception as he took one last gaze at where the horizon was, " And you can be at least some use to me."

"One way or another."

Zecora's Hut

" Hmmm...simple and rustic." as Raziel gazed upon Zecora's home, " You live out here all by yourself?" Zecora was glad that Raziel seemed to have let his guard down and was opening up a bit in conversation instead of him being to tense and ready to strike at a moment's notice. Her hut seemed to have eased Raziel's guard as the masks adorning the outside of her hut were beating down on him, though she could see he seemed a bit...tense.

" Yes I do." Raziel seemed a bit confused on why she was so happy to be alone, but Zecora seemed to know what was on his mind, " My friends always come to visit from the town of Ponyville." Raziel sneezed at the name and looked a little bit confused on if the spirit really was serious or just torturing him about giving Raziel a second life.

"Ponyville? So Zebra's aren't the main population here?" As they both entered her hut to see a brewing pot filled with clear blue liquid which Raziel assumed was water, and more mask adorning the walls of her hut, on the ceilings were potions dangling from strings or ingredients ready for one who brews some elaborate remedies. Raziel took notice that some of the items here were from wherever she came from as Zecora pulled up a pair of small chairs, Raziel cautiously set his rear, rocking back and forth a little to see if it would hold his weight. He never expected kindness from where he was from...why was she so sudden in accepting him all of a sudden?

" No it isn't." Zecora said with a small accepting grin.

" So you aren't from..." Raziel was trying to remember what she said in the forest.

"Equestria...no I wasn't born here my blue guest." Zecora said.

" I see."

" But come Raziel for tales shall be weaved, please tell me yours if you please." Zecora said, Raziel sighed as his head drooped down.

" Where do I begin?"

Sanctuary of the Clans

Raziel could see through the dark tunnel, five beings in a broken circle looking forward to see the one man that became deified. Raziel remembered that all of them were once mortal, including his brothers and all of the council, he could see all of them Melchiah, Zephon, Rahab, Dumah, and Turel; the one missing slot was his and his alone. Raziel looked up to see Kain, the one man that he served for a millennia, the one vampire he would never dare turn his back on as Kain was sitting in his throne among the Pillars of Balance.

Kain leaned forward in his seat to see Raziel walking towards the center of the circle, he could see Raziel looking left and right at his fellow council members and then kneeling down to Kain and bowing in respect. But that wasn't the end of it, Kain could see something poking out from behind Raziel as it struggled out, then he saw another appear from his right side. And then all of a sudden, he could see the one thing he never expected...wings, Raziel, the first born, received the Dark Gift, surpassing everyone that stood in this room.

Kain looked shocked at this sudden revelation but then uncertain as he got up from his throne and walked towards Raziel. Raziel could stood up for his master, uncertain of what Kain would do to him, Kain gently touched Raziel's wing and then went to his back examining both of them, Raziel flinched a bit at the sudden touch on his wings. Kain suddenly was full of anger...Raziel couldn't sense it as he kept his wings out.

But all of a sudden he felt them being ripped from the bone and pain hitting him like tidal wave, and blood covering the drooping wings, Raziel looked up to see the bones of wings in Kain's hand as he looked up at Kain...knowing what his reward was for surpassing him...he felt himself grow heavier and heavier with every second before he would fall to the floor...stripped...embarrassed.

Weak.

Lake of the Dead

Raziel felt himself being dragged as he could see Kain looking down at the green whirlpool below the cliff, Raziel could feel the eyes of the other members of the council. He could see the two brothers...his own flesh and blood carrying him by each hand, he could feel the pull of the wind that resonated from the whirlpool and the sorrow it left. Raziel contemplated it all...his reward was damnation itself...for many years of service he was to be thrown like trash into the Lake of the Dead. Kain past both Raziel, Turel, and Dumah, no feeling in his soul but anger and wraith itself; All of a sudden Kain stopped, Raziel hoped that his master was going to change his mind.

"Cast him in." All hope of it was extinguished on the spot as Turel and Dumah lifted Raziel up, and with that moment of betrayal, threw him in watching him fall to the depths of the lake and watching his body swallowed by the maelstrom below. Raziel could feel his flesh being burned to the point that even the dead would beg to die again as he was falling to the depths of the pit. Time seemed to have ceased as he fell to the very bottom of the lake.

It seemed time would forever be his captive at the bottom of the abyss, but something’s can never be held by time. Raziel felt life...different, but full of life. Raziel got up from his slumber, changed and fatigued from the pain, he got up with glowing blue eyes and his lower jaw gone from where he first bit his first victim ever, he examined his body to see that the once flesh he had when he was a vampire was now withered and blue, the only thing that remained the same was his cape that held his clan's symbol was the only thing that seemed to be intact as he threw it over his jaw...not knowing what to think.

"Raziel..." Raziel turned around to look behind him to see a thick wall of darkness hiding the disembodied voice, he could see nothing...except more darkness...until the disembodied voice confirmed his suspicion, muttering the three words he never heard muttered from any being's mouth.

"You are worthy."

Zecora's hut

Raziel finished with an exhale, " What was revealed to me was the Elder God...the being that ruled over the Material and Spectral Realm, he willingly offered his aid in my quest to kill Kain." Zecora seemed intent on taking every word, interested, worried, and sympathetic for Raziel, majority of her was horrified at his fate, " But some offers are better left unsaid to anyone, some offers are shrouded by a darkness which no one can imagine."

Zecora didn't understand a lot of what Raziel said, she couldn't get over the fact of the audacity of what Kain did to Raziel. He seemed to have sensed her thirst to press on even when not looking, " It is a story for another time Zecora."

" I...I had-." She couldn't think of anything to say that she couldn't speak normally or in a rhyme. But it seemed fate had intervened at a time which none could think.

" Zecora are you home?" Both their heads turned towards the door, Zecora took a peek through the window to see a lavender unicorn with a purple mane and a pink streak running through not only her mane but tail as well, a five pointed star was on her flank as she knocked again. Zecora stole quick gaze towards Raziel, who nodded, Zecora opened the door.

" Well hello Zecora." the Unicorn greeted her, the door obscuring Raziel, Zecora allowed Twilight in hoping for Twilight to be surprised...but as she turned around,

Raziel was gone.

Authors Notice: For the Hylden Lord, I couldn't call him that forever, Chrysalis will find out sooner or later he isn't Janos. For those that played all the LoK's, let me know if I missed any facts haven't played the game in a looong time. Don't be afraid to comment I won't bite ya.

And sorry about Zecora and if I put her out of character, its my first time bringing her in.

Chapter 3: Imprisonment

Authors Notice; So to those who played LoK, Raziel will be equipped with Spirit Reaver(It does work in the Spectral Realm and I think the Material Realm, I am not sure.) I will be bringing up some history from Soul Reaver 1 to Defiance as best I can.

Spectral Realm (Equestria)

"I know you Raziel, you are worthy."

The echo of the Elder God rang through his mind as he stayed on Zecora's bed examining the familiar dull blue environment of the Spectral Realm, he could smell the spirits roaming in here. Some were floating around freely. Some of them seemed happy to be alive, he could see them gliding out the window but he could also sense Zecora and the other pony conversing among another. Raziel waited for the time to strike as he went out the window of Zecora's house, hearing the beats of their voices resonating throughout, it seemed, a little clearer then usual. Raziel waited and waited until he could feel the other energy leave the house and continue on its path back to wherever it came from.

Raziel knew he would have to...the wheel must turn, he needed to feed, his hunger for souls was almost starving. He needed something, but luck seemed to have favored Raziel, he heard a transparent roar as he looked to his side, a manticore was prowling the area claiming its territory in the Spectral Realm. Raziel got up and summoned his Spirit Reaver, ready to feed as he leapt up the Reaver in hand, and the Manticore noticed this and got ready to defend its territory.

"How Foolish." as he came down with the Reaver and cleaved its head clean off, their was no blood...but a sense of loss as Raziel took the wandering soul from the Manticore, he pulled back his cowl to reveal a light blue pit as the soul went down the vortex, "An easy Kill." He felt rejuvenated, he felt he could return to their Realm, but the question was if it was the Material Realm...if this really was a Material Realm, but he asked himself if he truly could? Raziel decided to take the chance as he prepared himself to move himself into the next realm. Wondering what could come of the forest once returned to that realm...

So much to do.

Everfree Forest

Twilight was cautious during her walk, sure the path made was as safe is it could be, she remembered the Cockatrice and decided to hasten a bit in her steps to return home, but the trip was worth it to not only see Zecora and have a nice little chat with her that was always worth it, but the minor reason was for ingredients for a special tea Zecora introduced her to. Twilight checked her saddle bag to see that all the ingredients were accounted for as she hummed to herself a familiar tune as she made her way out of the forest.

She could hear footsteps behind her, she turned on the spot to see nothing but an empty path to Zecora's house, and the forest didn't seem to help with the atmosphere as she returned on her path back to her house. The footsteps returned but they seemed to return in pairs as Twilight stopped in the middle of the path, her whole body shaking at the situation she was in. She could see yellow feral eyes in the darkness bearing down on her, around her was not only one pair of eyes, but four more around her in a three hundred and sixty degree angle, she was to afraid to even prepare a defensive spell, much less move as five shadows bolted out of the forest and surrounded her.

Their bodies were made of wood, but the structure was a wolf as Twilight immediately recognized them as Timberwolves. She didn't feel any bit relieved it wasn't a bigger creature, but Timberwolves were extremely formidable in a pack. Each one of them in flawless synch, circling her waiting for that opportunity for a feast. The one behind her decided to strike, knowing she couldn't do anything to protect herself... she could be fear managed to grab a hold of her...nothing would help her right now.

Suddenly, she saw a blue being in front of her, skinny and walking on two feet. But what surprised her the most was that the first timber wolf that lunged at her was floating in midair as she could see a pale blue mass piercing through the Timberwolf's heart. The being threw the timberwolf off the blade as he ripped a greenish orb out of the air and swallowed it. The being turned to other Timberwolves in the circle, ignoring Twilight's look of surprise.

Twilight noticed the figure's look, he had what looked like a scarf wrapped around his lower face, he had tattered shawls on his back and massive claws on his hands and feet. His torso seemed to be missing a large chunk around his lower torso; but what caught Twilight's attention was the blue energy coming from his right arm, mesmerized by the fact it had a massive amount of magic surrounding it. The next Timberwolf charged with a ferocious temper, the being turned around and the blade on his armed changed to orange (Flame Reaver) as he fired a solid projectile at the timberwolf (Reaver Bolt) as the creature immediately incinerated at the impact of the Flame Reaver's Bolt, the being changed his blade again back to the Spirit Reaver to cleave another as he ripped the soul from the air and fed on it. The last Timberwolf was a little bigger then the others, an Alpha of the pack as he could tell.

Twilight was stunned at the fact that he was doing so much damage, but she didn't pay much attention as her full attention was on the creatures Reaver. The creature didn't pay any heed to her still as his attention was on the Alpha wolf.

"If your pack was this easy to kill, then you must be to." Raziel thought as the alpha wolf was suddenly above him, Twilight wanted to shout for him to look out, but Raziel just stood their as he dismissed his Reaver. Suddenly as fast as the wolf dived, Raziel took a few steps forward and held out his arm, clothes lining the wolf right in the stomach, keeping him up with just his strength, with his other hand he stabbed it right into the Timberwolf's back and ripping the soul right out of him, causing his whole body to disintegrate. Raziel proceeded to feed as he moved his scarf, and a dull green aura surrounded him as the Timberwolf's soul was consumed.

(Battle Over)

" Strange I did not have any trouble with these abominations." Raziel said to him, still not noticing Twilight gaping right at him, " A bigger question is why do I not feel fatigued? I should have been so when I phased into the Material Realm...or whatever this realm is." Raziel shook his head as he continued walking, he did notice the unicorn in the first place, thought he could lend a hand and make an impression.

But it seems some kind impressions somehow are...misinterpreted. Raziel suddenly felt something hit his back, and suddenly he felt drowsy as he fell to his knees, his vision blurred as he tried to maintain focus. He turned to the purple unicorn he saved only to see her horn glowing and coming closer to him.

" You...little..." Raziel collapsed to the ground as Twilight looked him over once slowly from his head to his feet, she prodded his side once and took out a scroll, somehow she felt very bad for doing that to the being even though he saved her; but what was she to do? This was a new creature...and somehow she knew one pony that could know what it is. She took out a scroll and pen and wrote down the name...

Dear Princess Celestia

Hour later
Canterlot Dungeon

Raziel woke up feeling not any worse then what he had been in Nosgoth, he scratched his head remembering that purple unicorn that shot him in the back. Raziel then suddenly felt some resistance on his right arm as he looked down to see that it was chained. Raziel gave a sigh and clawed the chains as they fell to the ground with a multitude of clanks echoing throughout his prison. He finally could see what was in front of him, bars, steel at best to keep what was inside out of the outside world, he couldn't see any light beaming through behind him, nor anywhere to be exact. They had hoped to imprison him somehow, so he decided to play their little game, he sat cross-legged as he closed his eyes. This was almost as sudden as going through to the past and killing not only his mortal brothers, but his once former self as well, he played that game like an obedient puppet, just as the Hylden planned.

Raziel could hear clop sounds coming down the hall, from he could tell in the puddles outside his cell, no guards, how strange. Just then the steps came closer as they suddenly stopped right in front of his cell, what surprised Raziel was that the only thing their was a tall white pony, her mane had three colors blue, pink, and green. Her eyes were a light shade of magenta and she had wings and a horn to boot, on top of her head was a small delicate golden crown. Raziel shook his head, " And now they have monarchies, I don't even find this surprising."

" You talk?" the white pony asked, Raziel nodded, " You think I was mute or didn't speak your language?"

" Yes." the white pony answered

" Then you are wrong as you can see I speak fluently." Raziel said, the white pony took a few steps closer to the cell, " Well since you can talk, may I ask your name and what you are?"

" I should tell you my name? After what one of your...citizens did to me and shot me in the back after I just saved her life that I should give you my name freely." Raziel stated.

" Twilight didn't know what to do in that situation, I apologize on her behalf I know she would never mean to do it." the white pony said, defending her student.

" It seems the forest is more hospitable and comforting than here where your student shot me in the back and you cage me." Raziel said.

" Well...we needed to know if you were hostile and if you had any intent to harm anypony." Raziel froze at that last word, 'anypony' why did the spirit send him here? But quick as he is, he regained his composure, " Well," Raziel threw both his arms up, " I don't have any intention, still don't."

" Well then...may you please tell me your name?" The white pony asked.

" Seem's won't you come off the subject until I tell you?" Raziel asked earning a nod from her, Raziel sighed, " Very well then, my name is Raziel, I am a Wraith, a soul stealer if you would call me that."

" What is Wraith exactly? What are you?" the White pony asked, Raziel sighed, " A question for a question, I answered your first one, now who are you?"

The white Pony forgot to give her name as she giggled a bit, "Pardon my manners Raziel, I forgot to introduce myself when I first came down here instead of asking questions immediately."

"... Your name." Raziel refreshed what she was going to say.

" Well my name is Princess Celestia, I am the Ruler of Equestria and I raise our sun." Celestia said.]

" Well that is not surprising...to a point." Raziel thought to himself.

" Now then...what are you exactly?" Celestia asked, eyeing Raziel from feet to head.

" I was once mortal, then a vampire, the first born of the Sarafan Inquisitors and the ruler of our strongest clans, as by the will of Kain." Raziel put it short and sweet, Celestia's head was now jumbled to this point, Sarafan? Kain?

" As the answer to your second one which will be of where I came from, I hail from Nosgoth as a wraith for the Physical, Material, and Spectral Realms." At this point, Celestia was now lost at Raziel's answers as she cleared her throat.

" It’s perhaps better if we talk about this out of your cell don't you think?" Celestia proposed.

" A first agreement, what will this world yield, and one more thing..." Raziel then phased through the bars of the cell like water ripping through the currents, as he entered the boundaries of the hall it made Celestia jump back a bit as Raziel looked up at her.

" I could have done that anytime I want." Raziel said, Celestia was going to ask but decided on a more comfortable place to ask...

“Please follow me then."

Sorry for the grammar errors and I hope you enjoyed the chapter:)

Chapter 4: The Bewildered Ruler

Authors Notice: For those that ask who my favorite out of the two is, Kain one hundred percent, but Raziel is badass to no matter what.

Changeling Hive

"I can see this is where you rule?" The Hylden Lord took in the room, the only thing he could see that was a little throne what looked like a obsidian like material, he wasn't sure on the type or the cause of the throne if she didn't have any subjects to rule, courtesy of the Hylden Lord. Chrysalis could only watch as 'Janos' examined each little crack in the room, his hand gliding on her throne, but she could see that it was deforming, becoming even more twisted to what it was as two arm rest shot out of the now complete throne, the Hylden Lord sat down as he put his head on his right hand.

" So...you are changeling am I right?" Chrysalis seemed shocked by his response, she never told him (or it) what they were and what they were capable of. 'Janos' had his gaze fixed on Chrysalis waiting for her response, his fingers twiddling on the arm rest of the throne, the two reavers didn't seem to be in sight of Chrysalis as she nodded, nervously she was about to ask, but 'Janos' held a hand up.

"The Reavers told me, the blood of your children were sufficient enough to provide me with the information necessary to know what you are." The Hylden Lord leaned a bit, " And it told me you yearn for vengeance." Chrysalis perked not feeling woozy or nervous, but angry and confident at the word vengeance.

" Those ponies costed me everything! The power of love from those ponies!? IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE." Chrysalis was so outraged at that moment, that she was almost foaming at the mouth from. 'THOSE PONIES' she called them, they ruined everything from the very end and it all started with the lavender pony, from the defeat of her babies all the way to her downfall at the hooves of Candence and Shining Armor, it was all nothing but torture to her mind, clawing at every fiber of her body and soul, yearning for it, lusting for that chance to rip through them all. 'Janos' could sense the anger radiating off her, and leaned forward a bit more.

"What if I could tell you...I can give you the vengeance you so desire?" Chrysalis perked up beaming at this bit of news, as she was about to speak, 'Janos' held up a finger, " But it will take time...if you are willing to postpone your anger." Chrysalis nodded as she flew out of the hive, knowing what was on 'Janos's' mind. But the Hylden, tapped his fingers on the arm rest of the new throne; She would live for a useful goal for two plans contemplating in his mind. One of course minor in its essence, a bit of vengeance was on the side if the signature was correct and his suspicion was correct.

And 'Janos' knew one vampire to help him accomplish this goal, he would be more of a pawn or a second in command if he was able to bring him here.

After all...a mortal cult worshipped him.

Canterlot

As much as the servant's and guards were use to guest in the castle, in which they were all to happy to help them, they weren't use to the creature Celestia brought to the castle and releasing him (from what everypony heard) and chatting with him. The guard were probably more tense about the situation, more so then their usual duties; Some of the ponies gathered near the throne room window to see Celestia chatting it up with Raziel, Raziel seemed a bit adament about this whole situation, he was waiting for the chance of any hint of betrayal and ready to strike if it happened.

But so far nothing, no indications of backstabbing him, no orders to kill him, no sudden attacks from behind him or in any other general direction for that matter; just Celestia asking questions.

" Raziel?" Raziel snapped out of it, he suddenly realized he was outside and could feel the sun's warmth hitting his blue skin, he didn't want it to stop, but Celestia seemed to think different.

"Yes?" Raziel answered.

" Is something wrong?"

" No just some events back home that have been troubling, and the present event that brought me here is a little uncomfortable if you will."

" How so?" Raziel wished that question would never come up, the only main reason was it would be complicated to explain to her about some of the things he had encountered; so far he had told her what he told Zecora in the forest. Somehow he expected shock and in which in turn he was right, but she didn't know what he carried when he transformed to a Wraith. Raziel somberly replied, " It would take to long to even tell you from the beginning."

" I see." so Celestia decided to change the subject, " Apart from what I witness, do you carry any other abilites?"

Raziel knew that Celestia was going to ask that, so he sighed and held out his arms, " Finish me now." This took Celestia by surprise, never in Equestria's history did somepony ask willingly to kill themselves, she never thought it would happen in her life or anyone else, she still looked stunned as Raziel suddenly held out his hand and to an even greater surprise to Celestia, a tall marble spire was levitating behind her, no aura was surrounding it, she suddenly felt a strong breeze brush her back and turned to see an impaled Raziel not showing any resistance, or hesistation as he gazed into Celestia's eyes to see a look of pure horror dawning on her face.

Raziel waved to her as he disappeared in a thin vale of green mist, Celestia was absolutely stunned and tears were starting to leak down from her eyes, the ponies watching inside were stunned and some were actually happy to see that he went away, knowing that Raziel's presence was more disturbing then welcoming, Celestia could sense some of the happiness of his untimely demise as she turned on the spot towards the ponies at the window, angry at all of them in which they all responded with regret and sadness knowing they angered their beloved ruler.

Suddenly she heard something crunching of dirt and stone being clawed through, she turned around to see a rotting hoof break out of the ground, gasping around the small area as it tried to find a good place to hold on, the next hoof popped out but it wasn't as dead as the other as it used the momentum of both hooves to pulled itself out of the ground and stumbled forward. The pony was ancient as his armor was dull then most ponies she had seen in any history book and the ponies cutie mark was two crossed wings with flames around them. But beyond the looks, the pony was dead and much to Celestia; she was literally on the verge of throwing up and pissing at the same time, but all that fear suddenly disappeared as she saw the pony's body turn to ash and a fully healed Raziel standing before her.

She couldn't believe it, Raziel was now alive standing on his two feet before her and both his arms crossed as he shook his head. The ponies on the inside...

Well all of them were shocked, appalled, and horrified at this action, but what was going on inside their heads was way different.

Raziel could only look at Celestia, still the look of shock on her face as he rubbed his head, a small migraine( which he never felt for a long time until now) was banging around his skull, " That is a curse of mine, I can possess the dead and use their life force to come back to this plane, it is unsuspecting," Raziel digressed about it, " But it does carry advantages." Celestia started taking it all in, but was still horrified at the moment," But that is only part of it." Raziel looked at Celestia with sorrow in his eyes, so much weighing him down from seeing his clan deformed to mindless beast, seeing Nosgoth changed, and finally witnessing the destruction of one thing that was almost considered holy to him, the Pillars of Nosgoth.

And finally Raziel dropped the ball, one big ball that he never told her or Zecora.

" I can't die."

Celestia gasped looking at the blue wraith as he continued, " and the only weapon that could kill me has consumed me...a relaxing lift off my shoulders, but it brought me to this world." this piqued Celestia's interest to the heavens as she tried to gather her composure, " And what was that weapon called?" Raziel looked at her as he summoned his Spirit Reaver and held it to her, no hostility intended on her.

" The Soul Reaver, a blade that not only kills, but rips the soul out of you no matter how many you have in you." Celestia could sense that magical energy around it, it was incredible the amount it was putting out that it could eclipse Star Swirl's magical energy ten fold.

" This is only my Reaver, when the physical Soul Reaver broke, the blade appeared in the Spectral Realm to me as it bonded to me." Raziel explained, " When I-." Raziel paused, he could remember what he did when he entered the Chronoplast, how he found out the truth when he had the true shell of the Reaver in his hands.

" Is something wrong Raziel?" Celestia asked, worried that she thought she may have gone a bit to far.

"Eternity is relentless Raziel." Raziel could remember those words Kain uttered, those words struck him, but he seemed to shrug it off as he turned his head to Celestia, " It is nothing."

Celestia didn't buy it, but she respected his wishes nonetheless, as he was talking she was thinking of something that was on her mind; their were two reasons for it though.

" Raziel...I don't mean to burden you more with what I am about to say, but I must ask you something."

Changeling Hive

Chrysalis flew back into her throne room as she was done with rounding up the rest of her children, satisfied at the job she did. But what she saw next didn't compare to what would haunt her for quite sometime, still sitting in the throne was 'Janos' looking smugly at what looked like a dark gooey puddle in front of the throne and in the middle, was a skeleton standing up like it was alive, thin streams of that black liquid forming what looked like a dome as the skeleton was writhing from in it. The skull was something Chrysalis couldn't live it down, the skull was crying in pain as some of the liquid entered its right eye socket and left out of its left. Chrysalis was to afraid to say anything so she silently left her hive, hoping he wouldn't notice her.

"It will be soon...you shall get the vengeance you so desired." 'Janos' said, the way he said it made Chrysalis worry that she may rushed in a bit to fast with him about her personal vendetta against Equestria, but she went on to ponder her thoughts as she left; but the only thing that was on her mind was the skeleton, out of the corner of her eye she could see the skeleton kneeling down, still in pain...the screams piercing through her skull.

For the first time in her whole life;

She finally knew terror.

Ponyville

Clouds were starting to come in courtesy of the Pegasi weather patrol in which the schedule today was rain, despite the cloudy weather bearing down on the tiny town, the denizens were still enjoying the cool weather for the moment before the rain came in and poured down on the village, some were rushing to get last minute things on their list before they went home and relaxed with their families or just relax alone.

" So what's coming up for friday's weather?" One pegasus pony asked to her co worker as they were moving another cumulus cloud to the clump that was forming over Ponyville.

" Well..." She stopped as she felt something above her, right above her was a chariot with two royal pegasus guard and knowing what that meant her lower jaw immediately dropped. She nudged her friend and co worker and gestured for her to look up waiting for their beloved princess, but what they saw made them horrified enough to stop flapping their wings as they saw a figure falling and the chariot flying away, as the figure came closer the two pegasus ponies took a peek from inside the clouds as the figure passed.

The only thing they could see was the shawls of the creature passing by, as they went through the grounds and back to the ground below, the figure landed neatly on the ground kneeling down, some ponies came out of their houses to see the figure as it got up slowly. They could see had blue skin and a brown scarf around his lower jaw(His clan's cape in other words) the lower part of his body was gone as the ponies eyes wandered to his claws gracing both his hands and his feet. The creature with his eyes scanned the area to see nothing but a tiny circle of ponies surrounding him, from what he could sense...

Well they were scared, the word he was thinking of was uneasy but that would be the understatement of the day for him, the creature sighed as he crossed his arms and held tapped his feet,

"Three...Two...One."

Canterlot
An hour before Raziel's arrival in Ponyville

"You wish for me to do what?" Raziel could not believe what he was hearing from Celestia's mouth, yes being dropped in this world was one thing, sentient animals he could live with; but going to a village to meet up with his attacker? Out of the question one hundred percent in his mind, he would rather face his brothers again then deal with this, come to think of it he would have rather returned to the forest and probably talk with Zecora a little, from what he could see she was in the same position and even though he only met her for a short time he seemed a little bit comfortable around her.

But not even close to being truly relaxed.

" I know this seems a bit forward and a bit...well...difficult for you to do accept." Celestia said, somehow she knew Raziel would react like this and she was lucky to prepare for the worst to come.

" You believe me going to this place would truly enlighten me? You honestly think that your student would personally apologize for that little action she did in the forest? " Raziel while calm, had that sudden outburst of anger, thousands of years he bottled it up only letting some out in his journey. He held on to it the first time he saw Kain when he arose from the Spectral Realm? Of Kain desecrating a Sarafan Priest? Of him going back in time and Scion help him how many times he had to break the rules of time stream to stop his fate but having it played out again?

Those bits of anger were to name a few of those instances, Wrath was poison to oneself even if Raziel drenched himself with it during his time as a lieutenant as he was thrown to suffer in the lake.

" I believe it would be better to hear the apology from her mouth instead of mine and to your anger, but I know that isn't the only thing bugging you Raziel." Celestia explained.

" Yes the fact I am not from this world and the fact your village would throw me out." He really hoped that the outcome would happen...he really did once he arrived and he would be all too happy to oblige.

" Please Raziel give it chance, Ponyville is home to some of the nicest ponies you will ever meet and I urge you to just give it a chance, just one chance, if you don't like it there you can come back to the castle or wherever you choose and I won't ask you to go back for good." Celestia could understand Raziel's position, but the fact that he was rejecting the idea outright was unbelievable and almost mythical to her. Sure it was nice to hear someone reject an idea at times from her and the fact that most ponies here who would hear her idea would immediately agree with it, it was almost suffocating.

Raziel on the other hand sensed a trap, the only thing he knew was force and betrayal and hearing a plead in Celestia's voice raised his suspicions. Never in his life had he heard someone as his time as a Wraith ask nicely, it was almost foreign to him. Raziel literally stabbed himself with one of his claws as he was massaging his head, he sighed not believing he was going to say, and honestly it would be almost the last thing on his list of things that would be said.

" When do I leave?" Celestia smiled at his answer and levitated a note to him and a small piece of paper, " Now if you wish to." Celestia said leading Raziel to the chariots.

" Scion...what have I got myself into?"

Ponyville
Present time

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" screams were exploding everywhere around Raziel as he closed his eyes with his arms crossed. Even though it didn't bother him, it still felt like his ears were bleeding.

This is what he exactly expected as he could see Pony's dashing away in a cloud of dust on a path leading out of town, he could see the cloud of dust grow smaller and smaller as the distance between him and them furthered. Raziel sighed as he said the one thing that pretty much simplified this situation.

"Called it." Raziel said to himself reading the small slip of paper that Celestia gave him, scanning over the instructions over and over again.

"A giant tree....library inside...not even surprising." Raziel thought to himself as he calmly walked the streets of Ponyville, seeing more ponies curious to find out what the commotion was, met only the same reaction as they ran out of town before Raziel could look up. "As expected each of them runs from me, the sight must be horrendous." Raziel said to himself as others who weren't in the general area were also curious to what caused the screaming, but as usual, they either ran out of town or ran into their houses and boarded the windows as the tips of nails started appearing on the outer walls.

" I have been here only a minute...interesting." Raziel sighed, he kept walking down the street until he finally had enough walking as he decided to go on the roofs. He went to one house on its side that had its windows boarded up, eyes could be seen through the boarded windows as Raziel rammed his claws through the wall of the house and climbed his way up, each one creating moderate sized holes for the ponies inside to see. As Raziel made it to the top he could see clearly a giant tree in the distance, but he could also see the tree had windows, shadows moving back and forth on the ground floor and a tiny silhouette of someone on the top floor.

" It seems like that is my destination."

Ponyville Library
(Outside)

Raziel landed right in front of the tree, and to his amusement it did seem to be roomy and warm, but to his lack of taste it was a trap nonetheless; that was his theory though. Raziel passed the sign and held his hand up and froze, he could leave and pretend Princess Celestia's order did not exist, he was a paradox and in a technical terms didn't exist when he killed himself, so how could Celestia know and what was to stop her from trying to make him? But he decided to play with fate as he knocked on the door a couple times.

"I can't believe I am doing this." Most of the enemies he fought and killed knew he was there, but this was truly foreign altogether doing something so casual as knocking on a door. The door opened as Raziel looked down to see not a pony, but a small purple dragon with green spines and green eyes looking up at him. Raziel itched his head and took a deep breath, but before he could say anything, someone spoke from behind the dragon and judging from the volume of the voice, it was just coming downstairs.

" Spike whose at the door?" A voice behind him said.

" Ummmm." The dragon was trying to take in Raziel's body and in his mind trying to find the right words to describe him. " Well you got to see this."

Or that would have been simpler.

"Ugh Spike you know its rude to describe a p-." Raziel then finally could see the voice and low and behold it was the same purple unicorn he saved in the forest. The pony froze at the sight of Raziel, and Raziel knew what the outcome was going to be.

SLAM!!!!

The door slammed right in his face and the purple unicorn was running upstairs a trail of dust behind her, Raziel on the other hand...was actually glad of this situation as he turned his back on the library and was walking towards the outskirts of town, he knew it would be nigh impossible for what the princess was proposing and the prospect of seeing this world just came into Raziel's mind. But as soon as Raziel was about a step away from the library door, the door creaked open to reveal the same small dragon.

" Sorry about that." the dragon said, Raziel turned his head to the dragon and sighed, " It would seem your hostess is not in the terms of welcoming someone isn't she?"

" No that's Pinkie Pie's job." The dragon stated with a grin.

"What in the four realms and the pillars name is a Pinkie Pie?"

On the summit of a mountain

Somewhere on an unknown summit, a Pink earth Pony sneezed as her whole body blew up like a balloon and shrank back down to her regular size as she landed neatly right on the summit with a blue bucket at her side and snow inside the bucket, an impish but playful smile adorning her face.

" OH GOODIE A NEW PONY!" Her voice echoing around her.

Back in Ponyville

Raziel thought to himself about this world, the name being one of them, many things were being questioned in his mind, but this was one of the many hundred.

" So have you bumped into her?" The dragon finished as Raziel snapped out of his train of thought he shook his head, as the tiny dragon gave a surprised look then, but it seemed to slim down to a grin though.

" Well it is a surprise she doesn't know that someone new has come to town, she usually welcomes everyone to Ponyville."

"An honor which shall remain impossible to achieve."

" I guess." Raziel shrugged his shoulders.

" But anyway...I'm Spike what's yours?" Raziel was caught off guard, why was this young lizard so welcoming to him?

" Raziel..." Raziel was a bit reluctant on giving his name to just anyone, more or less to someone that knew the same purple unicorn.

" That's a weird name...but I'm glad someone finally arrived in town that isn't a pony, don't get me wrong I like all ponies but it almost becomes...well crazy." Spike said with a bit of pep.

" Yes well," One hand Raziel really didn't care, but on the other hand, " It seems I am supposed to give this to the one called..." and this was the moment that he felt like he wanted to throw up as he said with a slowly with the air that someone was judging bad food and didn't want to say anything rude. But with Raziel, it was almost impossible, " Twilight Sparkle." he finished as he gave the scroll to Spike who gestured for him to come inside. Raziel could see not even surprising to him was the fact the room was full of books, shelves laden with a load of books as Spike went up the stairs and creaked open a bit of her lavender mane was protruding from the door with a purple eye peeking down at Raziel who was admiring the collection.

He always had a thing for knowledge but not as much as Kain, but still he was impressed more or less with the collection of books then the prospect of meeting a dragon.

Just suddenly he heard hooves coming down the stairs to see Twilight edging slowly, letter in the air and her pupils shrinking, this thing saved her and she just stunned without any provocation is what it said in the letter and to add to that the reason for Raziel coming to Ponyville. His green eyes met her purple eyes as they kept staring at each other, sweat was leaking down the side of Twilight's face as Raziel's still remained emotionless.

" Your name is Raziel...right?" Twilight asked, still nervous that she was almost face to face with the wraith she attacked, a wraith that saved her life to add to the nervousness.

" It is." Raziel said.

" Ummmm..." Twilight was itching the back of her neck as Raziel crossed his arms and tapped his feet waiting for her response, Spike on the other hand went out to finish what Twilight had for him outside her home. Raziel could feel the tension from her and it was nearly back breaking to anyone else. He gave a soft sigh and itched his arm,

"This is going to be awhile."
