Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver - The High Priestess
Beneath the Human Citadel likes an ancient city inhabited
by an evil as great as any posed by that of your Lord Kain.
- The Elder God
Nosgoth was not healthy. Racked by tremors that destroyed the land and altered the flow of great rivers and ancient lakes, it seemed at times as if the planet had suddenly gone mad and decided to kill itself. She knew that was not true, of course, her religion allowing her to see into the future as clearly as her vampire lover Turel with his Chronoplast time machine.
Yet, that left the question of how to repair the damage done by the humans who had refused to accept historical progress and submit to their supernatural overlords. This was somehow their fault--she just knew it--and until she was able to restore balance to the spirit realm and get the Wheel of Fate turning again, Nosgoth and the few like her who remained would be made to answer for crimes not of their own making.
The prisoners came to life as she stepped into the room unguarded, looking up from the floor to see her bare feet, long golden legs, and finally her curvy upper body and stunningly beautiful face. She wore large golden bracelets and anklets, a curved sacrificial dagger that hung from her left hip, and pristine white silk that clung to her firm hips and ample chest but left her flat midsection and legs completely on display, the slightest turn in either direction causing the draped material to shift almost imperceptibly and expose her dark curls and creamy pink femininity to whomever happened to be nearby. The men--for she only used males in this ritual--responded as they were meant to, standing up and staring with widened eyes at the woman they had lived in fear of all their adult lives.
"Please milady, free us. We have families to look after."
The High Priestess of the Vampire Worshippers turned her head in his direction, narrowing her greenish-blue eyes and withering him with but a single glance. Of medium height, the brown-haired human of one and thirty was not only a perfect representation of what the females of her species were meant to be, but possessed of such confidence and intelligence that only the most foolish men dared to underestimate her.
"You have no families now," she said, her clipped words almost a purr. The men pulled against their chains to listen, entranced by her pouty blue-painted lips and matching jagged lines that crossed her smoldering eyes from unlined forehead to delicate cheek.* "You are my prisoners, for as long as I deem it necessary. When you are of no more use to me you will be sacrificed to the gods, and we will make love on your corpses and climax in your warm blood."
Before the men could digest such vivid descriptions of their end, the Priestess turned to the chamber door and snapped out a name.
"Nicola!"
At once the door swung open, and yet another lovely brown-haired woman of medium height strode inside. Seven and twenty, she was the Priestess's most trusted servant and apprentice, chosen from birth and groomed to take over the cabal of Vampire Worshippers when either Kain or one of his remaining lieutenants rewarded her Mistress for a lifetime of good work. Her eyes were much bluer, her body a little tighter, and she was similarly clad in pristine white that seemed more designed to show off her figure than prepare her for the holy work to come.
"Priestess," the younger woman said, bowing her head. "I live to obey."
There was no question of that, seeing as she would have been killed long ago had it been otherwise, but over the eons it had become a form of respectful greeting, like the human knights who saluted one another on the field of battle. The Priestess nodded to show that she had heard the young woman and deemed her worthy of being at her side, then pointed a long finger at the nearest prisoner and barked out a simple but momentous order.
"Apprentice, pleasure that man!"
Nicola didn't hesitate, almost bouncing over to the cage and staring hard at the man within. "Present your manhood, sir. I won't ask again."

Raziel staggered back as the power of Constrict flowed through his body and left him feeling stronger than ever. He fell to one knee, the death of yet another brother, Dumah, invigorating him as nothing could, not even vengeance against those who had cast him into The Abyss so many centuries before.
The Elder God who had resurrected him after an eternity in his watery hell was, as ever, impatient to keep his avenging angle on the move, waiting just long enough for Raziel to recover before pointing him to the next foe waiting to be vanquished.
"There is no time to waste, Raziel. You must return to the human city and use your new powers to explore its depths. Kain and Turel are on the run, but before you can face them and obliterate the vampire menace once and for all, you must remove the evil that provides their kind with fresh bodies to reanimate. Only then can balance be restored and the Wheel of Fate put back into motion."
There came a pause, Raziel taking advantage of the lull to remove a large spear from Dumah's throne.
"Go Raziel! Kill the human whore and free the pathetic chattel from her dark grasp!"

The Priestess watched silently as her lovely apprentice pleasured the man from her knees, a hand pressed to her face and her lips curled back with lust as she admired the younger woman's perfection. Like her, Nicola had been chosen from birth to serve the vampires. The girl was brilliant and brave and beautiful, and had she been just a few years older there was no doubt that their roles would be reversed, Nicola the Priestess and she a submissive acolyte.
The prisoner gripped the iron bars and grimaced while the brunette slowly moved her head back and forth, his impressive size catching the Priestess's attention. Nicola had been pleasuring men her entire adult life, and her expertise showed in the way she used her pouty lips and gleaming white teeth to stimulate his throbbing manhood, the young woman pushing all the way down to the root and using her tongue to tease his scrotum before slowly drawing back and hollowing her cheeks as she sucked.
The mere sight of her apprentice and lover pleasing a stranger was enough to drive the Priestess mad with jealousy, but she was able to restrain her more aggressive passions, tapping into the arousal she felt between her thighs and using it to calm her inner turmoil.
