History Quotes / BrokenAngel

-> ''Tumbling, burning with white hot fire, I plunged into the depths of the abyss. Unspeakable pain, relentless agony, time ceased to exist. Only this torture and a deepening hatred of the hypocrisy that damned me to this hell. An eternity passed and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness. The descent had destroyed me...and yet I lived.''
-->--'''Raziel,''' ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKainSoulReaver''

->''Flight is not a luxury. It is what makes me [[BirdPeople garuda]]. My skin crawls when I look up at roofs that trap me. I want to look down at [[WretchedHive this city]] before I leave it, Grimnebulin. I want to fly, not once, but whenever I will. I want you to give me back flight.''

->'''Raziel:''' I am Raziel, first-born of his lieutenants. I stood with Kain and my brethren at the dawn of the empire. I have served him a millennium. Over time, we became less human and more... divine. Kain would enter the state of change and emerge with a new gift. Some years after the master, our evolution would follow. Until I had the honor of surpassing my lord. ''(Raziel then shows Kain and his brethren his newly grown bat-like wings spread out. Kain then becomes "interested" and walks up to Raziel to examine his wings)'' For my transgression, I earned a new kind of reward... ''(Kain then rips out the bones from Raziel's wings, leaving them as bloody flaps of skin. Raziel cries out in pain, and falls to the ground)'' ...agony.\\
There was only one possible outcome: my eternal damnation. I, Raziel, was to suffer the fate of traitors and weaklings: to burn forever in the bowels of the lake of the dead.\\
'''Kain:''' Cast him in! ''(The other two vampire brethren, Turel and Dumah, follows Kain's order and throws the injured Raziel into the abyss. Raziel, upon being thrown there, screams in severe pain, gradually destroying his body.)''\\

''(Raziel then came back as a wraith, having ghostly-blue skin, skeletal-like features, and lacks a lower jaw that he has to cover it up with his clan banner.)'' The descent had destroyed me...and yet I lived.

'''Constantine:''' If you have to ask, you'll never know. Anyway, as enjoyable as all this is... if you're going to be working for me, you'll have to smarten up a bit. Those wings will stick out a mile, mate. Not to worry, though. You just leave it to your Uncle John.

-> '''Trias, the Betrayer''': I will not be judged by you mortal; not when you have lived the lives you have. Let me tell you of Betrayal: betrayal is cowardice... selling weapons to your adversaries out of fear that they might stop killing each other and turn upon you. Betrayal is refusing to lead by example. Betrayal is letting the Fiends run rampart through the Planes until evil has corrupted all hearts. ''[Summons demons to fight for him]''
