I hope you guys won't be disappointed by this. I'm really trying my best to smother mistakes and error, but after all, I am only human.

Please enjoy :D

Somewhere in the middle of the ocean of words in chapters, I'll try using POV's. It's my first time, don't get mad ;_;


Chapter 6: The Disappearance

They arrived at the Institute of War with numerous High Summoners standing at the entrance. They denied access to Veitriyx and his companions.

"What is this?!" he inquired.

"Have you not heard? There is an order by the High Councilors of the Institute of War that deprives all champions from leaving or entering said place." The gruff-looking summoner near the gate said.

"There has to be another way. We were sent on a mission." he begged.

"Are you Veitriyx of Ionia?" he asked

"Yes, and this is Nidalee of the Kumungu jungle and Ashe of the Freljord." he said.

"The Head Councilor told us in advance of your arrival. Please, step forward and submit to inspection." he replied while taking Nidalee away from him.

He inspected Nidalee thoroughly with a weird looking piece of device with a tiny measurement on it. She was clean. He took Veitriyx and escorted him to a nearby room.

"Wait here, a healer will come to you momentarily." he said, going back to the gates.

He waited for almost an eternity. Worry soon overtook him and he began to slightly panic. Finally, the doors opened. Kayle and Soraka appeared at the door, wearing gloves and masks, and beckoned him to come inside. He was guided to a room with a chair. That's all, a simple chair, or maybe as what he thought. He sat down then Soraka and Kayle immediately examined him, if he was hurt, possessed, or any kind of danger to the very being of the Institute of War. As he sat down, weird instruments of some kind began materializing on top of his chair. A mysterious blue light went from his toe, to his forehead. It showed all his vitals on a floating holoscreen. Kayle immediately immobilized him and got a sample of his mana. She then tried to cross-examine the mana from him, and the mana found nearby the places where the champions were kidnapped, and possibly enslaved. For some reason, it matched. Soraka nodded to Kayle and sent a blast of magic from her hand to his forehead, knocking him out and unconcious.

He woke up in a cell, bound by in rune energy. Beside him were some champions who were too dangerous or presumed as much by the Institute and its summoners. He slid down on one side of the cell, and tried to console, or encourage himself. Days past. No one came. He started to think that he was forgotten, until Nidalee, Ahri, and a couple of summoners arrived at the door to 'meet' him.

"I-i-it.. was. you... all this time?" Nidalee questioned him, started to sob slowly.

"How could you!" Ahri scolded him, trying to make Nidalee feel better by hugging her with one arm.

"B-but why? What m-m-made you do this?!" Nidalee begged, tears flowing down freely.

Veitriyx was silent. There was no answer to this, because he hasn't done it, and talking back would only give them trouble. He finally uttered something.

"Once... once I get out of here, I promise I'll come back to get you Nidalee..." he whispered under his breath.

When he looked as if he wouldn't talk anymore, the summoners made the champions go back, and they locked the door behind them. Another couple of days past. He wasn't given something to eat constantly. It was like he was a caged animal, the one Nidalee and he used to watch, with distaste. He was just staring whistfully into the sky, or ceiling, when suddenly he heard shouts from just outside the corridor. After a few seconds these shouts died out, and the door blew open, revealing Zed, LeBlanc, and a mysterious hooded figure. Based on his first impressions, the figure was lady-like, possibly powerful, but... familiar. The figure muttered something to LeBlanc, she nodded and moved near the cage Veitriyx was in. She held her hand against it and the runes vanished. He was free. The figure took something out of her coat. It was a dazzling hat, the one he used to own. She offered it to him and quickly beckoned him to come. He had no choice, he couldn't just stay back. They walked through the numerous corriders, blasted or burned to bits. Blood stained the walls of some of the corridors they passed. When he arrived outside of the gate, he saw a small army of shadow disciples, possibly holding up an invisible border. Everything that happened inside was not seen outside. Only when they come close, is when they see the destruction that has appeared here. The figure opened up a portal, the portals used to kidnap said champions.

"Y-you! You were the one who conspired against them! But why them?" Veitriyx asked in fear and excitement.

The mysterious lady did not utter anything. She passed through the portal, with Zed and LeBlanc following suit. Zed's disciples suddenly disappeared into the shadows. "I can't stay here. I would be blamed for everything." he thought. And so he got a piece of paper, wrote something on it, and finally entered the portal. The portal disappeared and left a black patch of land on the ground.


Nidalee's POV


I... I couldn't believe what I saw, heard, felt, or touched. It all seemed impossible. H-he? Was he even the perpetrator? No, no! Impossible! He's too good to do such wicked things. But... I saw what I saw. I saw him caged, like the animals... Why..

Ahri held my shoulder protectively, as if Veitriyx was about to pounce on me and devour me like the people he devoured, or possessed. After awhile of the impossible, inevitable truth, Ahri guided me away from the room he was in. I was sobbing uncontrollably. The only person I ever loved, or ever cared for me... is gone. Was it really true? Or was it just a silly fantasy. No, he just can't be! Numerous questions flooded the space my mind had. After a few minutes of her guidance and my sobbing, I finally gave up and just ditched her. I ran to my house, locked it, and sobbed some more on the bed. I couldn't sleep. I was sulking and sad. Life had no more meaning to me anymore. After of what seemed like 5 hours, I heard a knock from my door and just told the person to come in. It was Ahri, ever so happy and carefree. There was a hint of frowning in her beautiful face. She told me about the news, about how the corridors of the Institute were riddled with bodies and blood. How there was absolutely no evidence on who could've done this. I paid no attention to her, until she told me that Veitriyx, the one who I hope still cares and has an explanation for this, either escaped alone, or with accomplices. I sobbed more, tears flowing freely. I cried on her shoulder. She tried to console me by patting my back gently, but it won't help. When it was the time for her to go, I begged her to stay, but she refused. Instead, she gave me a letter. It was on a piece of paper, labelled with my name on it. She told me that she tried to open it, but there seems to be an enchantment none of the Councilors, or Summoners, are aware of. I tried opening it, expecting it to be stuck, but it opened, like nothing ever happened. There it read.

"Dear Nidalee,

I hope this letter sees you in good condition. I escaped, I could not hold liable for the destruction that occurred in this very area. I am now somewhere I do not know, possibly I am in danger. I miss you. I don't know if you could see it, but..."

I tried to read further, but the paper appeared to be torn. The other half's location I do not know. All I know is that. He did not do it. I believe him. And now, I will help him seek redemption.


Awhyy xD My chapters are getting shorter and shorter D: Sorry about that. Please forgive me
