Chapter 4: The Recovery

Veitriyx was concentrating for a long time, then he opened his eyes. The surroundings became black and Master Yi and him were floating in thin air. He didn't mind it very much, but he noticed a shadowy figure behind Master Yi. He placed his palm in the direction of the shadow and tried to engulf it in flames. It seemed more annoyed than injured and prepared to strike at Yi. Veitriyx just stood there, realizing that there was no shadow at all. He just sat back down, embarrassed.

"Calm yourself, young one. You need not be afraid of shadows, lest they consume you." Yi said in a calm and dignified way.

"Am I hallucinating now?" Veitriyx asked. "Am I even able to destroy my own shadow?"

"You, you can. But need calmness and an empty mind you."Yi said in a mysterious way, almost like a riddle.

Suddenly, a shallow bowl with water appeared in between them. It had 3 lotus flowers floating on the surface of the water. It was pristine, until suddenly a black smoke emerged from the bottom of the bowl. It corrupted the entire bowl, water and all. It also wilted the flowers on it. The corrupted water started to twirl around itself, almost making a vortex, until it formed a exact replica of Veitriyx. The other Veitriyx stepped out of the bowl and immediately challenged the real Veitriyx to a duel. The dark Veitriyx unsheathed a sword made of a dark steel. The other one had no weapon at all. He concentrated and tried to make a blade out of pure magic. It somehow worked, but he knew if he lost concentration it would disappear. The battle started with both steels touched each other, making sparks come out.

"You are weak, pathetic. You even had your sister killed because of your carelessness." The dark Veitriyx taunted him. "If only you had more power, oh wait, you don't. Hahaha" he laughed while parrying one of Veitriyx's strikes with ease.

"Grr.. How dare you speak to me like that!" Veitriyx shouted, he was boiling with anger.

"You think you can protect Nidalee and the other champions? No. You can't. You are too weak. Ghahaha." he laughed some more as he grazed Veitriyx's arm.

Veitriyx grunted when he was grazed on his arm. His blade dissipated because of his loss of focus. He fell after the dark Veitriyx did a sweeper kick. He put the tip of his blade against his throat, slowly threatening to pierce his skin. He just, gave up. He sat down and meditated in front of him.

"Are you not scared of your impending death?" questioned the dark Veitriyx.

Veitriyx didn't answer. He just kept sitting there and meditated.

"Are you deaf? Can't you hear me?" said the dark Veitriyx, getting annoyed. "Enough of this!" he said and slashed at his throat.

His slash didn't miss, but Veitriyx wasn't hurt in any way possible. Instead, a gaping hole appeared in the dark Veitriyx's throat. The wound gushed out dark liquid. He began to lose his strength and he dropped his dark sword. After awhile, he disappeared. The world regained its color and Master Yi was sitting in front of him, unharmed. The got the sword and gave it to Master Yi.

"Why give it, young man? You've earned it." he said while giving it back.

Veitriyx bowed, "Thank you for your encouragement and wise words." he said.

"I did not do anything. You have done everything. I wish you well now." Master Yi said, while waving as a sign of goodbye.

"Thank you, Master Yi." he said.

He went outside the shrine and was greeted with a warm hug from Nidalee.

"How long have I been in there?" he asked.

"For far too long already." she said, smiling.

"Alright, I'm alright now. Let's head back to the Institute." he said.

"I'm just happy you're alright now." she said while she held his hand and walked down the mountain.

"You better treat her nice Vei. She likes you. She's good and I don't want her to be heartbroken. You better treat her well. Or else I'll come for you." Riven said with a smile, even though what she said was a threat.

The couple went down the mountain and into the town. There they bought different kinds of food. They had enough of the vacation around Ionia and decided it was due time they came back.


So, what do you think? c:

Sorry if its short. It's just a short about how Veitriyx recovered.

I wouldn't want to go to the next "official" chapter without telling you guys what happened.

Leave a favorite if you can. It really encourages me to make more. ^.^
