After the Duel with the Exterminator we can finally leave Kvatch, it's on to Cheydinhal now.
Although we travel on the main road not many people are there, I guess most of them headed for the Imperial City, well almost everyone headed for the Imperial City.
Chapter 8.
Xyz Burst.
Scroll Cards:
Jack: 2
Leo: 3
Juliet: 3
The next day Leo woke up first, he stretched himself when he looked around Juliet and Jack were gone.
'Woke up early never took the time to wake me up.' He muttered.
Leo entered the big room of the inn were Jack and Juliet were bent over the table they were looking at the cards that formed the clue to find the Legendary Dragon.
There were several books spread on the table, notes were lying everywhere.
'Morning Leo.' Juliet said without looking Jack didn't say anything.
'Well what did you found out?' Leo asked he was still a bit sleepy.
'We think we need to take the cards literally for what they are.' Jack said and he opened a new book he leafed through it.
'The innkeeper was quite helpful, she said we had to look at the cards different ways, taking the card text literally didn't make any sense, and try to make a Duel Puzzle with them also failed.' Juliet explained.
'So we decided to take the prints on the card literally.' Jack finished and he placed the book on the table, it was a heavy red book.
'Daedra or Devil' was the title.
Leo looked dumbfounded.
'This book is forbidden but it seems that Jill left it here the innkeeper gave It to us, and look here.' Jack said pointing at a picture in the book.
'You see?' Jack asked.
'A Strange Door?' Leo mumbled, the picture showed a portal stuck into a rock shaped like a head, in fact the portal was in the open mouth of the head, two more heads were stuck to both sides of the middle head, one head looked peaceful the other looked mad.
'The book said that that door lead to the domain of Sheogorath, one of those Daedric Princes Jurgen Greybeard mentioned.
Juliet said Leo slowly nodded.
'But why these cards?' Leo asked.
'Well.' Jack started. 'We believe that Melchid resembles that door, you see Melchid might be a four-faced Beast but you only see three of its heads, The Dark Door glued to this card must mean that Melchid resembles the three heads of that door.'
Leo looked at Juliet. 'Might make sense but why Brron and Heavy Storm?' Leo asked.
'That.' Juliet said. 'I know, each of these Daedric Princes had a special ritual on a special day to summon them, the one of Sheogorath was different apart from his day you could summon him on any day as long as there was a storm.'
'Leo smiled Heavy Storm stands for that storm, but then Brron...'
'That!' Jack said. 'Sheogorath is known as the Daedric Prince of Madness, and Brron is the Mad King of Dark World, now that Dark World could resemble The Shivering Isles, Sheogorath's home.'
Leo clapped his hands, so what if we manage to find that Strange Door, if it still exists and we can enter, how in the name of all that is holy are we supposed to defeat a Daedric Prince! They are mighty he could crush us!'
Leo shouted.
'I can answer that.' They turned around and saw Jill.
'Seems you found out yourself.' She said.
'What are you doing here?' Juliet asked.
'I just forgot some of my stuff when I was underway here I just remembered a bit about Sheogorath I hoped you were still here so I could tell you but you found out already.'
They all sat down again.
'Now tell us about those Daedric Princes.' Leo said.
'Well in the old age Daedric Princes could roam the world in full power now the power of Tamriel is almost gone they can still come here but then they are almost powerless so they have to adjust to our rules and so combat will be done with Duel Monsters.' Jill said.
James was watching TV when suddenly someone opened his door.
'I DID IT!' James was startled.
'ERROL!' He shouted. 'HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY KNOCK ON MY DOOR!'
Errol stopped short his mouth still half-open.
'What happened to your face?' James asked, Errol's face was more damaged than ever, he was bleeding on several spots, his eye was thick and black.
'One of them got violent, BUT I ADJUSTED HIS BEHAVIOR!'
'STOP SCREAMING ALL THE TIME!' James shouted and again Errol stopped.
'Now Errol explain to me what this is all about.'
Errol smirked. 'This.' He said and he pointed somewhere behind him, James looked behind Errol and the next moment Errol laid on the floor.
a young man had appeared, he wore brown ragged robes, he held a fancy staff in his hand his face was covered by a yellowish mask.
The mask glowed with an unholy light, it was a creepy looking mask, it had some carvings around the forehead, the eyes were just slits and the mouth was closed.
The other two boys were dressed in similar outfits, held similar staffs and wore similar masks.
The robes of the second boy had a dark purple color his mask had a reddish color.
The robes of the third one were darker brown than those of the first boy his mask had a blueish color.
Errol slowly stood up, he wanted to say something but the first boy aimed his staff at Error who quickly shut his mouth.
'The Dragon Priests I take it?' James said and he looked at each of the boys.
'Yes.' The first one spoke.
The other two now also had entered the room.
'Vokun the Shadow.' The boy with the Blueish mask said.
'Krosis the Sorrow.' The one in the yellowish mask said.
'And I am Volsung the Horror.' The one in the reddish mask said.
'I take it you can control your powers?' James asked.
'Yes.' Volsung said.
'And you are familiar with Duel Monsters?'
'Yes.' Krosis said.
'And you can use your powers to create deadly Shadow Games?' James asked.
'Yes.' Vokun said.
'Krosis, Vokun, Volsung you are here to Duel, you will be challenged by Duelists, beat them at any cost, do not shun your shadow magic.'
The three Priests looked at each other.
'We shall enjoy this.' Volsung said.
'How do we know when or where we Duel?' Krosis asked.
'The arena is your choice.' James replied.
'I shall Duel at the Graveyard in the Imperial City.' Krosis said.
'Sorrow there is greatest and so my power is at its best.'
'I shall Duel in the Abandoned House in Cheydinhal the place an homage to The Dark Brotherhood perfect for my Shadow Games.' Vokun said.
'I shall Duel in the Great Forest next to the Imperial City, I can spread fear there most easily.' Volsung said.
Jack, Juliet and Leo had finally left Kvatch.
'So we head to Cheydinhal now.' Juliet said and Jack and Leo nodded.
'Lets go then.' She said and started running followed closely by Jack and Leo.
'Damn I'm in trouble now, COWARD get back here!' Jack and the others stood still.
'Hello?' Juliet shouted, a young man stormed from the bushes.
He wore a brown sweater with brown jeans and black shoes under them, his hair was quite messy.
'You! Have you seen a woman passing through here? Wore mostly pink she stole the key cards from my Deck.'
Jack and the others looked at him dumbfounded.
'Start from the beginning.' Leo said.
'Well I was passing through this forest I started at one of the other points of the island, when I got here it was getting dark so I slept into the forest, suddenly I was waking up a girl was leafing through my Deck, when she saw me she ran away with my key cards a group of Xyz monsters.'
'That is inconvenient, what Xyz monsters did she stole?' Jack asked.
'The Musician Djinn.'
Leo suddenly looked up he opened his Extra Deck Zone and took four cards out of it.
'You mean these?' He asked showing Maestroke the Symphony Djinn, Melomelody the Brass Djinn, Muzurhythm the String Djinn and Temtempo
the Percussion Djinn.
'Why do you have these? How did you get them?' The young man stammered.
'I won them on the cruise ship I was on, you can have them if you like, I can't really use them.' Leo said handing the cards over.
'Wow how do I thank you, I am Norman by the way.' The young man said.
'Okay Norman here is the deal, I want to Duel you to see if you are worthy of those cards, if I find you worthy you can keep them.' Leo said he held his three Scroll Cards in the air. 'I even throw in one of these.' He said.
Normal smiled he added the Djinn cards in his Extra Deck and he picked four Scroll Cards from his pocket. 'Deal.' He said.

The card fell out of his Discard Slot and Norman pocketed it. '...now all my Gagaga monsters become the Level of the monster I removed, and that is Level three.'

'I take it you read the card text of Maestroke.' Norman said. 'I set these and end my turn.' Two reversed cards appeared.
