Kain Settles the Score

Kain (vo): This artifact seemed as though it was made for that unusual lock. Now the door could be opened.

Kain observa la estatua en honor a Malek situada en el patio interior de la fortaleza…

Kain (vo): Malek, the great Sarafan warrior. I had met him before. His sword and shield seemed to have gone astray.

Agarrándolo por sorpresa, Kain interroga a un soldado Sárafan…

Kain: Tell me - where can I find your master?

Quickly – Moebius is – ?

Soldado: …in the tower…

Kain: Good.

En una habitación situada en el interior de la capilla se halla el escudo de Malek…

Kain (vo): Malek’s missing sheild. I hated to restore his dignity, but I would need to return this to his monument before I could progress.

En otra estancia exterior, Kain consigue la espada de Malek…

Kain (vo): Malek’s sword belonged in his right hand. However distasteful this errand was, I would return it to its proper place.

Una vez devueltos los dos objetos, Kain puede proseguir su camino…

Kain (vo): The way to the tower now lay open before me. I looked forward to finding Moebius, and resumng our conversation.

Kain encuentra otro trozo más del emblema para la Segadora…

Kain (vo): Curious. This artifact, joined with the relic I discovered earlier, appeared to be but one fragment of a larger emblem. This shard was endowed with elemental Fire, enhancing both the Reaver and my telekinetic powers.

Kain accede a la estancia de Moebius…

Moebius: Here you are at last. I see you found a fragment of the Balance Emblem. This will be of even further use to you - if you can find the other three. Now, shall we - ?

Kain: Yes. Let us continue our conversatio- but on a somewhat different footing. Now, what do you have to tell me, Moebius?

Moebius: You cannot kill me. We both know that this is not how - or when - I die.

Kain: Death is not the only possible outcome.

Moebius: Your delusions of fulfilling the Vampires’ foolish prophecies have badly distorted your judgment. And Raziel is not what you think.

Kain: You dare imagine what I think?

Moebius: So you prevented Raziel’s soul from entering the Reaver. Do you believe for a moment that by this you have averted your fate? Or his? Or that of Nosgoth itself? Your manipulations are pathetic.

Kain: Yet Raziel retains his free will. And that’s what frightens you, isn’t it, Moebius. You cannot see his path, and so you cannot control it.

Moebius: –And neither can you. Yes, Raziel is shrouded from us, but we see the ripples of his potential actions. And every path he might choose leads to the same outcome: He will kill you, Kain. In sparing Raziel, you have written your own death sentence.

Kain: You still have not answered the question I came to ask: Where is Raziel?

Moebius: He is not, in a true sense, here. Not now.

Kain: Don’t try my patience, Moebius. What have you done with him?

Moebius: He is contained. In time, it may be safe to release him. His destiny must be completed - he will enter the sword. But until that time he is dangerous – far more dangerous than you could understand.

Kain: And your incontrovertible evidence?

Moebius: The answers are plain if you know where to look. Go west of the Pillars - there you will find a testament written in stone.

Acto seguido, Moebius se esfuma, dejando sólo a Kain…

Kain (vo): But stones, too, can lie.

Saliendo al balcón, Kain observa los Pilares a la distancia…

Kain (vo): The Pillars of Nosgoth stood pristine against the horizon. To the west I would find the enlightenment Moebius felt I lacked.
