Love Can Have a Blind Eye

Chapter 14

After dealing with the council, they all were happy to be able to live a life with no danger threatened to no one now. Because of that, Yami and Aqua were able to be with Yugi more without worrying about any duties needing to be done. Eblis and his friends kept everything in order for them. A few weeks later, Veeshan came to him, asking for a favor.

-Yami, I wish to ask something of you and your friends.- Veeshan requested. "What is it you wish to ask me, Veeshan?" Yami questioned. -I want to ask if you and your friends if you will come with me and Keara to Norrath. I need your help to take care of someone that has been taking the life of my children every time they are born. I wish to ask you and the other demons to assist me in defeating this vile fiend.- Veeshan explained and he nodded.

"Of course we'll help. You have helped us and our people and you deserve to get help from us as well. When should we leave?" Yami said as they walked through the halls. -Whenever you feel ready to leave. If you wish, you can bring Yugi and his friends as well so they won't have to stay here and watch over the palace for you and your friends. I will grant them power so they will not get hurt by wandering monsters in Norrath.- Veeshan said and he nodded. "Alright. Let's spend a week here so we can get necessary things we need and we'll leave on the first day of next week." Yami said and she nodded.

-If you wish, you can bring Yugi and his friends as well so they won't have to stay here and watch over the palace for you and your friends. I will grant them power so they will not be hurt by wandering monsters in Norrath.- Veeshan offered and he nodded. "Alright. Let's spend a week here so we can get necessary things we need and we'll leave on the first day of next week." Yami replied and she nodded.

-Ok, and while we're still here, I'll grant Yugi and his friends their powers so they can practice with them before we get to Norrath.- Veeshan said as they parted ways.

Once the week was over and Yugi, along with his friends, got their powers, they were off to Norrath. "So Veeshan, what are we going to do to get rid of Venril?" Ryou asked. -Keara will go to the Plane of Hate and confront Innoruuk about the immortality pact he made with Venril. Once he breaks the pact with him, Yami, your friends and the other demons will go and attack him while Yugi heals them from any wounds. I will also lend my strength since he has a very big disadvantage when dragons are around so he will be easy to defeat.- Veeshan explained and he nodded.

They soon reached the outskirts of the remains of the Sebilis Empire, where Venril was waiting. As they got to the gates though, they were greeted by mobs of Froglok Bok Knights, Shamans and Wizards, Myconid Adepts, Priests, Reavers and Warriors, Pox, Leprous and Sepsis Scarabs, Skeletal Barons, Champions, Crusaders, Dukes, Harbingers, and Hierophants and Sebilite Golems, Guardians and Juggernauts. Along with them were two Iksar Necromancers, two Imperial Crypt Guards, an Echo of Sebilis spirit and a Sebilite Protector.

"Looks like he was expecting us." Jounouchi mumbled quietly. -Don't worry, I'll take care of the Necromancers and the Sebilites monsters. You and your friends stay back so you won't get hurt.- Veeshan spoke and they nodded as she and the demons charged into battle with the monsters. The Frogloks, Scarabs and Myconids were easy but the Skeletals proved to be worthy opponents to the demons. With Veeshan, she easily took out the Iksar Necromancers and the Sebilites before she took her positions in protecting Yugi and his friends from any monsters that manage to sneak past the demons as they fought.

After a while, they heard Keara come back and she looked to her. -Did you break the pact of immortality with Innoruuk?- Veeshan asked. She nodded. "He was difficult at first but he finally crumbled under the weight of the matter and cut off the pact with Venril, he's now vulnerable to the demons' advances." she explained and Veeshan nodded. -Good, once Yami and the other take care of these monsters, we'll heal and rest first then head to the castle to take care of Venril.- Veeshan explained and she nodded.

It wasn't long before Yami took care of the last Skeletal Baron while Aqua devoured the Echo of Sebilis spirit, not affected by the stunning magic that was in its Mighty Bellow of Fire attack it tried to cast. The demons were wounded but not much and Yugi took over with healing them. After the wounds were healed and they ate what food they brought with them, they were asleep, Veeshan and Keara keeping an eye and ear out for any sounds or movements that would try to get them while they were asleep.

Inside the castle, Venril watched the battle with rapt attention and was intrigued by the demons' fighting skills. But he was more interested of the seven the stood out from the battle. "Maybe I can use them to my advantage. Since they're here, I know they are up to something. I can imagine it because the dear Mother of Dragons told them about the spell I casted on every brood she has. Well, if they want to get here so soon, I think I should bring them here faster and get rid of them just as quick. I can already tell the pact I made with Innoruuk is broken and if I don't take care of them soon, I will be beaten easily." Venril said before getting up.

"Trakanon, I summon you." he called and a large decaying dragon came into the room. /What is it you want, Venril?/ The dragon asked. Trakanon didn't like working with Venril but he did so just to avoid being killed since he already dodged death once and may not be able to do so again. He was the only dragon that Venril actually could be around without getting angry over the fact he was just that.

"I want you to go out and look for a small group that is somewhere near the empire. You should easily spot them because Veeshan is there with them." He growled in anger at the thought of Veeshan before looking up to the dragon once more. /And what do you want me to do with them?/ he asked again. "I want you to capture the young boy. He seems to be someone who Veeshan is keeping a close eye on. Whether it's because he's the healer or something else, I don't really care. I wish to battle them here and now and provoking them with a prisoner should do well.

"If they plan to attack, use your Banishing Touch to throw them somewhere else. I think I can handle waiting if you have to do such." Venril said and the dragon nodded once more as he left out the room through the large window.

Venril sat back down on the throne and waited.

Trakanon flew over the forested area near the Old Sebilis Empire, looking for Veeshan and the others. It didn't take him long to spot them and he flew down silently looking to them until he saw Yugi. He felt the mix of Cleric and Druid Healing aura surrounding him and suspected him to be the one Venril wanted as a prisoner. With quiet steps, he walked over to him and picked him up. He was about to fly off when Aqua woke up to the sound of shuffling and looked towards him. He spotted Yugi in the dragon's grip and growled. "What are you doing with him?" he hissed. /I'm taking him to Venril. He's wants a prisoner to make your arrival a little sooner./ Trakanon snapped. Aqua growled before he went to attack Trakanon.

Trakanon placed Yugi down and fought with Aqua. The battle went on for a short while until Trakanon knocked Aqua down with his tail and before he could get up, he used his Blinding Fear attack. It didn't blind him due to the magic of the Marr Twins but it was strong enough to stun him but it was only for a short while. Trakanon took the time while he was stunned to grab Yugi once more and flew off towards the castle. Aqua growled as the stun effect wore off and watched as he left. He growled again before waking everyone up and told them what happened.

-I wasn't suspecting this but obviously Venril did something to control Trakanon. Trakanon was the dragon the led the assault on the Sebilis Empire and nearly avoided death. That why he has such wounds on his arms and back.- Veeshan explained. "So, what should we do about him?" Malik asked. -There's no need to hurt him. He is still a dragon and as much as I hate to know he's being controlled and working for Venril, I know there is a way how we can break him free of whatever spell that was cast onto him. I will not have one of my children controlled by that fiend.- Veeshan growled.

"Well, we can't just stand here, we need to go save Yugi before Venril does something to him." Yami said, anger now running through him at the thought of something happening to his soulmate. "I agree. Let's get moving now." Keara said and they all left, heading for the castle.

Zypher: That shall be all for this chapter. Review as always. And don't worry, Yugi will be safe.

Note: For those that haven't played Everquest, Trakanon is a dragon that led an assault on the Sebilis Empire. He raided the cities before taking residence in Venril Sathir's old stronghold. He manage to dodge death and became more powerful from it. Since I've never played it on the PC, I wouldn't know how strong he is and what not.

Since it's AU, if I say he can be controlled by Venril, he's controlled by Venril but he won't be for too long once Veeshan and the others take care of Venril. If you want to know more about him and what his attacks are and does, you can find out more in Illia's Everquest Bestiary.
