- Kain
- Thirty years hence, I am presented with a dilemma – let’s call it a two-sided coin.
- If the coin falls one way, I sacrifice myself and thus restore the Pillars.
- But as the last surviving vampire in Nosgoth, this would mean the annihilation of our species. Moebius made sure of that.
- If the coin lands on the reverse, I refuse the sacrifice and thus doom the Pillars to an eternity of collapse.
- Either way, the game is rigged.
- Raziel
- We agree then that the Pillars are crucial, and must be restored?
- Kain
- (weary)
- Yes, Raziel – that’s why we’ve come full-circle to this place.
- Raziel
- (incredulous)
- So after all this you make my case for me. To end this stalemate, you must die so that new Guardians can be born.
- Kain
- The Pillars don’t belong to them, Raziel...
- On “them,” Kain gestures derisively, indicating humanity in general.
- ...they belong to us.
- Raziel pauses briefly, absorbing what Kain is saying.
- Raziel
- (disgusted)
- Your arrogance is boundless, Kain.
- Kain
- (chuckles softly)
- There’s a third option - a monumental secret, hidden in your very presence here. But it’s a secret you have to discover for yourself.
- Unearth your destiny, Raziel. It’s all laid out for you here.
- Raziel
- You said it yourself, Kain – there are only two sides to your coin.
- Kain
- Apparently so. But suppose you throw a coin enough times...
- ...suppose one day, it lands on its edge.
- Kain dematerializes, leaving Raziel standing in the clearing alone.
