Suprising Guests
Yugo and Adamai only intended to use the Eliacube and the Dofus to learn more about the Eliatrope race. Their surprise was great when a portal opened and two Eliatrope males fell through. Both of them looked to be in terrible shape like they had just left a battle.
Yugo groaned softly as he pushed himself up. Chibi cooed in the bag that the Dofus was just in. Grougal laid on top of his brother's head. Yugo gasped with surprise. "Gro-Grougal's dofus! It's hatched! Adamai." He spoke with excitement as he looked at his dragon brother. "Adamai!" Adamai stirred softly and groaned as he pushed himself up. "Wow! I wasn't expecting that! Grougal and his eliatrope brother Chibi, they're- they're so cute!"
Yugo laughed gently at his brother's reaction and watching Chibi and Grougal. Qilby groaned softly, causing Yugo to gasp and look over at the two eliatrope males. The one in green held his head and looked back at Yugo. Wide sky blue eyes met curious brown eyes. "Ugh... whe-where am I...?" Qilby muttered. He groaned softly as he looked back at Yugo and Adamai. It took a few seconds for his eyesight to focus and when he realized who he was looking at, he let out a shout of fear and fell away from Yugo.
The eliatrope in green held out a hand towards Yugo. "Yu... go..." He whispered softly before collapsing first. Adamai would pick up the bag containing Chibi and Grougal and went over to the Eliatrope in green to see if he was alright.
"No! Augh!" Qilby could only stare in fear at Yugo. "Calm down! Nobody wants to hurt you!" Yugo exclaimed. He then laughed gently. "Yugo? Is it really you?"
"Um... Yugo... I-I'm Yugo. And... who are you?" Yugo had stood up by now and started to walk towards Qilby. "Are you an Eliatrope?" Qilby could only stare in fear before he finally collapsed.
Gentle humming filled the room as an Enripsa worked on healing the Eliatrope with Silver hair. It had been about a week since their arrival and the smaller male had yet to wake up. Sadida vines bound the male's wrists and were tethered to the ground. His hands were covered with gloves as well to prevent him from creating a portal and attacking upon waking up...
A Sadida guard stood nearby, keeping watch as the Enripsa worked her healing magic.
The Eliatrope started to shift. He had been changed out of his ruined clothes and dressed in a tan shirt and brown pants. Yugo and Alibert had the room cleared of people when they mended the Eliatrope's unusually shaped hat.
The Enripsa blinked and pulled back after she was done checking on him. The Eliatrope's eyes opened to reveal sky blue eyes. "Welcome to the world of the living." The Enripsa smiled gently. "How long have I been out?" The Eliatrope asked. "About a week. The Eliatrope King, Qilby, woke up just a few days before you did." She said gently.
Mikhail's eyes narrowed. 'King? Don't make me laugh you old traitor...' He thought to himself. The Enripsa blinked and the guard prepared to defend her. "Ah. May I ask what he has said about me that has required my hands to be bound?" He asked her, keeping his tone neutral. "He has told us that you have turned traitor and attacked him." She spoke calmly. Keeping an eye on her patient.
'Oh really? Well, it's no use arguing against her... Qilby was the first to wake. He was the first to talk to them... I wonder what other lies he has filled their brains with...' He thought.
"Ah. My traitorous apprentice has finally awoken." Came an all too familiar voice from the doorway.
"King Qilby!" Exclaimed the Enripsa. The Sadida guard would snap to attention. "Thank you, Karina for healing him. Could you two please leave us be?" Qilby asked them. The two of them nodded and bowed before leaving the room.
"Qilby." Hissed the male, pulling at his binds. Qilby would walk over to the bed and rested a hand on the bedridden Eliatrope's Haven Bag. "I am quite sure you already know this, Mikhail, but there is quite a bit of Sadida and Cra guards surrounding this room. Attack me, and you will find yourself trapped inside your dofus." He patted the Haven Bag a few times, smiling at Mikhail. "I'm sure Chlorophi wouldn't appreciate seeing you again so... soon after our freedom from the White Dimension."
Milhail continued to glare at Qilby. "What do you want, Traitor?" He hissed. Qilby's sneer grew wider. "A chance at letting you roam... semi-freely. I know how much you hate being trapped in one place, Mikhail." He gently kicked the vines keeping the Mikhail in place. "If you accept my offering, you will have to stay by my side or with at least 4 guards of my choosing."
Mikhail clenched his gloved fists tightly. Qilby smirked as he watched Mikhail struggle with the decision. The Eliatrope's fists tightened before finally releasing after a few minutes. The Eliatrope sighed in defeat. "After a long time spent fighting, I'm not surprised to see that you have given in so easily." Qilby smiled before he tied a bracelet onto Mikhail's wrist.
The younger Eliatrope blinked in confusion. "We are scientists, my apprentice. You are not the only one capable of creating new ways to harness Wakfu." Qilby waved as he walked to the door. "Oh. And I already told the Sadida king how great of a lyre player you are. I'm sure he would love to hear you play for the court."
Mikhail looked at the opposite direction, quietly fuming in anger. Qilby smirked. "In about an hour or two, the royal tailer will arrive with a change of clothes. Karina has already finished healing your injuries. I'll ask the guard to release you as well. See you later, little brother." Qilby chuckled softly before he left the room.
Soon after, Mikhail could feel the vines release his wrists. He pushed himself up into a sitting position and took off the gloves covering his hands, sighing softly. A small smirk of his own then crossed his lips. "You may have everyone wrapped around your fingers now, Qilby... but soon your treacherous ways will be made known..."
