Blood Omen The vampire Vorador

Kain se adentra en el bosque Termangente…

Kain (vo): The black forest reigned here, its kingdom rarely invaded by those that live in the light. But it was called home by this mysterious Vorador.

Legend told of a time when VoradordefeatedMalek of the Sarafan. If such a man did exist, then he could perhaps be the key to defeating the Ward.

Más adentro, en el pantano…

Kain (vo): Strange that Vorador would choose a dwelling so perilous to him. The swamp could only offer a vampire hazard and pain.

Ya frente a la mansión de Vorador…

Kain (vo): Vorador's keep was hidden deep within the Termagent forest, nestled amongst vines and creepers that clung desperately to its dark weathered stone.

Kain entra y admira el lujo del que hace gala la mansión de Vorador…

Kain (vo): The luxury with which this Vorador surrounded himself was impressive. His wealth would shame the haughty nobles of my former court.

Kain sigue observando las el lujo del que hace gala la mansión…

Kain (vo): That this vulgar display of fortune remained undisturbed was a testament of fear's dominion over greed.

En un balcón de una habitación adyacente…

Kain (vo): The darkness was soothing and in the distance, sharp and sweet, came the scent of spilt blood.

Kain dirige su mirada hacia una de las esclavas de Vorador…

Kain (vo): Their charms were almost visible through the gauze of their clothing. Yet beauty such as theirs delivered only death. For these wereVorador's pets, nothing more than beasts, slave to his will and the easy prey he provided.

Vampires, all of them, held in thrall by one stronger still.

En otra habitación, Kain encuentra humanos encadenados a la pared…

Kain (vo): Vorador's pantry! A vampire's feast! Like cattle awaiting slaughter, men and women dangled from the rusted hooks upon the dungeon walls, blood and viscera frosted the dirt and stone.

The abundance nearly overwhelmed me. For blood is the life…

En otra sala muy diferente Kain encuentra humanos que han sido torturados…

Kain (vo): The room I had entered had but one purpose - the torture and execution of human beings for the sadistic pleasure of its engineer.

Blood was splattered on every surface. The dread and agony of victims past still echoed through the lethal walls. A symphony of terror and agony filled the air. Then, from amidst the cacophony of screaming souls came the perverse laughter of the Vampire himself…

Kain (vo): And upon the wall, scrawled in blood, were the words: Manus Celer Dei.

Avanzando por la mansión, Kain encuentra un libro sobre un pedestal…

Kain (vo): Amongst Vorador's possessions, I found an ancient chronicle:

Long ago, vampires grew in such number as to capture the attention of the Circle. The Order of the Sarafan, or the Angels of Light as they were called, was instated to counter the menace. Thus, the Vampire Purge began.

Controlando a un humano, Kain observa los telares que adornan una habitación…

Kain (vo): The tapestries wove a tale of chaos ignited, an orgy of fire and pain. Undead beings, with rotted skins caked with sulfur and ash, beckoned at me through a burning abyss. Their tortured stares were a testemonial to the price of weakness.

Their fate would not find me. Yet blood calls to blood.

Por fin, Kain encuentra a Vorador…

Kain (vo): In the bowels of that black forest I found something worse than Hell. A vision of what I was becoming…

Vorador: It's not often I see one of our own, especially one as young and foolish as yourself. Nonetheless, drink. Drink deep and indulge your gift.

Kain (vo): Gift? Pah! Vorador thought my curse a blessing. That we were gods and that mortals offered their blood as sacrifice so that we could enjoy our supernatural powers.

And somewhere deep inside my new self I knew he was right. That mortal dreams were prayers. Prayers to us - begging for our power.

I pondered this as the decadent old fool prattled on about his past; a boorish account of how he defeated Malek of the Sarafan and took his vengeance upon the Circle of Nine for supporting the Sarafan's holy war to exterminate us…

Vorador: After slaughtering six of the sheep I defeated their pathetic little shepherd - Malek.

Since then our kind has not bothered with the cattle, except to feed. And I suggest you do the same. Meddling with the affairs of man can do us no good. Sarafan witchhunts are much too tedious to concern ourselves with. Am I understood Kain?

Kain asiente tímidamente con la cabeza…

Vorador: Good. Take this ring. If you ever need assistance it will summon me. Despite your youthful arrogance, you amuse me, Kain - it would be such a pity to lose you to the Abyss.

Now be gone!

Kain abandona la sala donde se encontraba…

Kain (vo): My visit with Vorador only strengthened my resolve. His power uncontested by mortals, he had fallen to another enemy. Decadence has claimed itself many a great warrior.

Tras salir de la mansión, Kain reflexiona…

Kain (vo): And so I left that place, with clear knowledge of what sort of monster I would become if I let my curse consume me, and with an ally for the future.
