Termogent Forest Swamp (Continued)

After Vorador has departed, Raziel considers the information he has just received.

Raziel V.O.:
I had no less reason to trust Vorador than anyone else I had met. In fact, the ancient vampire was the most forthright being I had encountered thus far. If Janos Audron was the key to all this, then I would find him, and Moebius' Time Streaming device would provide me passage.
But first I had to find a way back into the Stronghold, and I suspected I would find the means within the lake's mysterious shrine.

Dark Chronicle - Chapter Seven - The Elder's Warning

After having met the vampire Vorador, unearthed the secrets of the Dark Forge, and discovered more about the ancient architects of the Pillars, Raziel revisits the Elder God in the subterranean Pillars Chamber.

Elder God:
Ah, my wayward child returns...

Raziel:
Having unearthed more than you'd like, I suspect.
What am I to make of these ruins that litter the land, and these images here in this chamber?

Elder God:
Merely the deceits of a failed civilization.
You are being mislead, Raziel.
This ancient race hoped to manipulate the future with these scrawled misdirections.
You must tread carefully. There are dark forces at work in this world, bent on subverting your true destiny.

Raziel:
I have no doubt of that. The question is: am I in their presence right now?

Elder God:
Your arrogance will spell your demise, Raziel. Deny my will, and the arc of your destiny will reach a sudden conclusion.

Raziel:
Your threats are unmoving. Even now I'm beyond your reach.

Elder God: (ominously)
My reach is longer than you realize.
This is a very dangerous game you're playing, Raziel.

The Pillars Chamber (Second Visit)

If Raziel swims past the Elder God -

Elder God:
Do not fail me.
   or Your destiny beckons.
   or Destroy Kain.
   or You would be wise to heed me, Raziel.
   or Tread carefully, Raziel.

Light Forge

In the Light Forge, Raziel finds more images of the winged race.

Raziel V.O.:
These murals left no room for doubt.
These creatures were indeed the architects of the Pillars, and while the images were difficult to decipher, the Pillars appeared to banish or diminish their enemies somehow.

When the Light Forge is activated, Raziel forges the Reaver.

Raziel V.O.:
I plunged the Reaver into the forge and imbued the blade with the elemental power of light.
Thus armed, I now had the means to re-enter the Stronghold and finally use Moebius's Time Streaming device to accomplish my own ends.

Sarafan Stronghold (Second Visit)

Raziel encounters a swordsman and two women soldiers of Moebius's army, blocking the entrance to the main hall.

Swordsman:
To arms!
