So today I was going to the new hearing of the release of the next game in one of my favorite series.

Legacy Of Kain.

I went to the place where you would expect to see a con of sorts, I’m ecstatic I couldn’t wait to play this game in such a long time.

On my way to the hearing I encounter a man selling stuff.

The man in question was wearing a Blue suit with a red tie and a white fedora.

‘This guy gives me the creeps.’

Most of the stuff was just junk or other wares, but what caught my eye was a ‘Very’ particular sword.

“Excuse me.”

I get the man’s attention and point to the sword

“May I see that?”

“Why yes.”

He went and grabbed the sword and handed it to me.

‘It’s actually quite heavy, thought it would be made of plastic.’

I give the sword a few good swings.

“Feels real.” I say with a hint of surprise.

“That’s because it is, down to the finest detail.”

I chuckled.

“You can get in Serious trouble for bringing a real weapon to a Con Center.”

The strange man only chuckled back.

“It’s not gonna be here for long.”

“You suggesting that I’m gonna buy it.”

The man smiled.

I take a look at the blade, then back to him.

“How much?” I asked.

“$290”

“Eeshh, Sorry no can do.”

“Are you sure?”

I sigh.

“As much as I would like to, it’s not in my budget.”

The man hummed in thought.

“You know what, take it, it’s a bit more troublesome than I thought.”

“Seriously?”

“Sure.”

I smiled.

“Thanks not common for generosity these days”

“No…it isn’t, that won’t be the only gift you’ll receive.”

Now that made me suspicious.

“How so?”

I only got a crooked smile.

I felt the blade shift in my hands, and an uneasy feeling.

My arm grew cold to the point it started to ache.

“Have fun.”

I felt an overwhelming surge of cold air as the world shifted around me, reality seemed to change as I was left in total darkness and emptiness.

My body collapsed as it grew cold, my heart suddenly ceased function as if I was dying yet still breathing.

‘The Reaver it’s…’

My hands holding the sword jerked out while I was fighting for control.

Then in one quick motion…the sword stabbed me in my stomach and feasting on my blood…and soul.

My mind swam in the sudden change in events…I couldn’t fathom the pain I am in.

‘The sword….It’s killing me.’

I felt myself weaken bit by Agonizing bit.

‘I’m…going to die on my knees…with a blade in my body…’

‘I-I can’t fight it…I…NO…I Have to…’

I started to pull on the Reaver blade the pain was too much.

‘I….Must…Fight.’

“GHAAAAAA!” In one big push I felt the blade leave my body and hit the ground.

My world went black.

<________________________________________________________>

The sound of dripping water woke me from my unconsciousness.

“What happened?”

I felt nothing…no pain, no heartbeat, nothing…except a hunger…one I have never felt.

I rise to my feet and take a look at myself, somehow I can see in this darkness.

“I’m…pale…and this hunger…what is it?”

‘BLOOD~’

A voice in my head screamed at me.

‘I MUST HAVE BLOOD!!!’

It kept screaming.

‘Wh-what Have I Become.’

A roar escapes my throat…it a beastly cry.

My eyes dart to a creature in the darkness, I Pounced on the rodent and sink my teeth into its flesh.

I felt the blood leave its body and into my own, then as quickly as I grabbed the rat I dropped it, horrified at what just happened.

The voice started to subside.

‘I-I…’

The realization hit me like a truck.

“I’m a Vampire.”

My mind swam in questions.

How

When

Why

And Who.

Then the recent chain of events started to catch up to me.

The Man in the suit…

I have heard of cases of people disappearing at cons…but I thought it was just a ruse or just a regular occurrence of a lot of people in one place so the likeliness was higher than most expect.

Fury Boiled inside me, an anger that made it hard to focus, taking a breath I relax…not much I can do about it right now.

I look around my eyes able to see in the pure darkness.

‘I’m not at the hearing…I’m in a cave.’

In the distance I see a familiar object.

‘The Reaver.’

Rising to my feet again I walk to the sword…and hesitantly pick it up.

I could feel the power of the Reaver…plus another.

‘This is the blood Reaver…but it also leached my soul…so…that means.’

I try to feel for the power inside but to no avail…at least not yet.

A few seconds later a flash of pain reaches my skull.

There was a presence of another power…but it wasn’t accessible to me at this time.

‘Well I can figure this out later.’

I somewhat instinctively put the sword on my back and it stayed in place, realizing what I just did gave me a short pause.

‘That’s Odd, but convenient.’

Taking another look at myself I notice I’m still in my normal clothes, reaching into my pocket was my phone…it worked…but had no battery life gauge.

‘What the Fuck is going on?’

I would have to figure all this out later, making my way around, I find the cave entrance…one problem though.

“Daylight.” I reach my hand out and quickly pull it back as the sun burned like hell.

‘I suppose water does the same…this is gonna be a long day.’

Sitting down I wait for nightfall.

Author's Note

Authors note: First off I know that the beginning seems a little rushed but I want to make this different than Most displaced stories, on that note I won’t spoil too much but if you don’t want any just skip the next sentence.

My plan is to skip a big build up at the beginning for my character, instead I am gonna use other characters to find out bits and pieces of my characters history like myths, legends, notes, and actual documentation throughout the story much like how Raziel found about his history later in the series.

Another thing I want to do is introduce a new concept called Ancients, the Ancients are displaced that are sent to a further timeline beyond Celestia and Luna thus being older than the both of them.

I hope you all enjoy.
