Chapter 10 – Magic trick
#1: This chapter is a recall of what happened before the last chapters xD
What really happened back then before Talon found the specific hidden room was an already forgotten story. The one blowing the wall was Vayne who got missing. The ones responsible for the champions missing memories was Elise who watched all from shadows. Not even a coincidence that Evelyn was from Shadow Isles and she was sharing her information playing nice with the other champions.
"I joined the league to clear the evil." The dark haired woman wearing a long impartial face crosses her arms looking straight to Morgana.
"I will bring you suffering if you focused my people." The dark angel refers to Vladimir, her formal friend from Noxus, so she poses as mad looking at Vayne right through her red haunter glasses.
"Hah. You don`t scare me, evil creature." Vayne seems taller than Morgana, but this thing doesn`t inflect defense in the dark haired angel.
From behind the masked Kayle, sister of Morgana, was watching levitating on her white wings. "You two stop." She said crossing her arms while holding a golden sword. At her legs, invisible, was standing Teemo who looks curious at their fight.
"I know you evil people plan something with this championship!" Vayne`s voice was soar.
"Eh? What do you know, my dear?" Morgana`s voice changes, being more interested in what the vampire haunter will add next.
"Elise is here." Vayne whispers and looks around caught by fear.
Teemo nods in his stealth mood, totally agreeing with the haunter. He makes himself visible and the group notices him. "Satan!" Kayle and Morgana screams in the same time, while Kayle flies aside from him. If her face would be visible, she would be scared to death.
"Satan?" Vayne drops her jaw confused.
"Oh, you are new here. You don`t know nothing." Morgana laughs sadly.
"..." Vayne takes his back crossbow and points it to the yordle.
"No! Don`t ..." Morgana waves hands innocently in front of the crude Vayne who was ready to aim. "He is not ruling the Hell." She sighs in relief when she lowers her silver weapon. "For hell sake..."
"Then what is it about him?" Vayne frowns confused.
"Hello, beautiful ladies and Kayle. I`m Teemo." Kayle tilts head at this statement and Morgana laughs loud her sadness.
This was the link. Teemo stalked around Vayne`s plan. He was there in the darkness when she shouted the sealed wall. It was dark, but she could see his presence. She let him to lift her from the fallen bricks, though she was usually dealing alone with her matters. She convicted to stick the same plan, but they didn`t know that Talon was looking for his own purposes. He was searching for general.
By mistake he got in the dark abandoned pool. He found the holed wall and stepped in. The big door leading to the puppet room was unlocked. He enters.
Vayne got it. There was somebody else entering that room, but it was too late. She let the two intruders alone. She understand that they passed the thin line between the real life and the made up battle camp. As she sees Teemo coming with the red head woman, she didn`t mind her. She very knew the noxian woman will forget things way too easy. She was one of the bad names in the league and Elise wanted her to forget what is really happening. Though she was curious. She knew that Teemo will not betray her secret, yet he took her in.
"She is his sister..." He slowly grabs Vayne`s pants.
"Oh..." Now she understood that Teemo knew who entered in the dolls place.
And when they were already in, Katarina left him heartless behind. Vayne didn`t say a thing, but she was worried for what Talon did.
When the red head was already far to hear them, she grabs him under jaw with hate. "Why did you opened the void?!"
Sona was trying to stop her, but she was weak and also mute.
"Hah... I can`t talk if you... are struggling my breath..."
She lowers the grip, but her anger was evident. "Say."
"I wanted to save Katarina. They are playing with her mind..."
"Elise?"
"Who?"
"Elise is the one ruling over the the league members. I thought you know that!"
"My only reason I joined the league was to find what`s left about general Du Couteau. Then... to protect Katarina." He tries to get up, but both Sona and Vayne stop him.
"There is no need now. The void is open." She sighs and gets up.
Sona`s eyes were fixed on the dark leather woman. She was worried for Talon. She couldn`t carry him out of there. Her fingers curls in his hair powerless and Vayne understands. She knees near them and bears one of the noxian`s arm over her fit shoulder. "I need your help." She said as she lifts him and Sona comes under his other arm, helping him to fake a walk.
"Thanks..." His head was facing the concrete, not able to feel his erect spine.
Le Blanc and Elise were having tea at a small table. Outside the window could be seen the the training camp of the Institute of war.
"So you finally come to see me." Elise smiles crossing her long legs on the chair.
"I was here all this time, but now you can see my real body." She laughs back tapping her nails on the table. "Tea... like in old times." She giggles.
"I`m glad to see the old you, Le Blanc. I have a request for you and Black Rose."
"Yes?"
"There is a certain Vayne who figured it out. She is the most dangerous at this moment..." She is crossing by Le Blanc.
"What is Blood Moon doing then?"
"Blood Moon? We constantly erase memories of the war. Not a big deal, but..." Le Blanc crosses her again.
"You want pace?"
"I want a peaceful Noxus... If they resist, I can instantly kill them and Thresh will collect their souls. It is not in vain." Elise is stopped by Le Blanc`s madly laugh.
"There is no such thing like pace in Noxus. I was born there. I traveled the world to see better places and I couldn`t find anything like home. War is our answer. Let me kill... that Vayne for you." Le Blanc smirks and leaves her seat, moving to the opened window. "Valoran... The magic of the Institute of war is keeping the weather unchanged."
Talon was resting for a week. All this time, Katarina came to visit him as friend. She forgot a lot of things, but he felt like he was related to her.
"Talon?" Her eyes were sad and empty looking over his patched body in the sheets.
"Yes."
"What is between you and Sona?"
"She is the famed musician from Demacia. She is mute, so I trust her to not..."
"Is this all?"
"Y-yes." He finds her questions a little too suspicious, though for his lost memories, he didn`t see Katarina more than a sibling to him. "Why asking?"
"And Vayne?"
"Vayne? That Vayne?" He looks apart trying to remember how she was looking like. Aparently her name sound familiar, but his recent memories about her already faded.
"Vayne... Who is her...?" Katarina dealt the same problem.
Outside Talon`s door, there was a masked man listening. Le Blanc.
