The Execution of Raziel

Barely able to stand for the searing agony inflicted upon him, and unable to take flight with the bloodied remnants of his wings, Raziel was dragged across a rickety bridge to a high cliff. This ground overlooked a swirling vortex, a massive whirlpool at the center of the Lake of the Dead. It was here that Kain condemned those too weak to serve the empire and those foolish enough to betray it. It was here that Raziel would die his second death.

Watched over by the other members of the Council, Raziel was brought to the edge of the stony ground, his meager struggling of no use. It was then that Kain turned his back and with three simple words - "Cast him in." - sealed his unholy child's fate. With one final and terrible scream, Raziel was tossed over by his brothers Dumah and Turel. Offering only howls of agony and a hateful upward glare as the blistering waters scalded abused flesh from bone, Raziel vanished into the oblivion of the abyss.
