Running a hand through his red hair, Vician paces back and forth Sylvanas' Private Chamber door. Hearing the door crack open, Vician turns to see Itris with a grim look on her face. "The Banshee Queen is still alive, but is not responding to anything. I don't know what it could be, but at this point, I can't rule anything out."

Vician curses and runs his hands through his hair, threatening to tear it out. "That was the strongest protection spell I have. How the hell could anything happen to her? There is no way that Taniel could break through that. Unless it is someone stronger, and I find that highly impossible."

Rili looks from Sylvanas' door, to her Master and back again. "Master," she begins quietly.

"Not now, Rili," Vician snaps at her.

"No Master," she snaps back, "It's important. I-I wanted to tell you before, but it was never the right time."

Turning onto her, Vician glares at the Demon, "Well, go on."

"Well, we succubi and incubi have this sixth sense. We can tell if a person has an incubus or a succubus on them, that way two demons cannot go for the same person; we get kind of territorial like that." Rili motions towards Sylvanas' door. "Taniel is still in there. I don't know how he got past your barrier, unless he found someone more powerful than you to support him."

"Then that means," Vician mutters, looking down processing this new information. He stops and looks up at Rili, "You knew."

Rili bites her bottom lip, "Yes."

Vician narrows his gaze, glaring at Rili, "You knew this whole time!"

Rili matches his glare, pointing a finger in his face, "You're damn right I knew. Sylvanas was not the only one who wanted you back. I wanted you back!"

Vician shakes his head and walks away from Rili. "Why would you betray me like this, Rili?" He spins back towards the succubus, yelling, "Why didn't you tell anyone about this? What reason could you have?"

From deep inside Rili, she knew the answer. She tries to bury it, but in the heat of this moment, it comes bubbling upwards, until she is screeching at Vician, "Because I love you! You thought that Sylvanas or Kalira was the only one who loved you? Then you're fucking wrong."

Vician scoffs at the succubus, "You don't know what love is. All you know is lust and desire."

Rili walks up to Vician and shoves him, "You don't get to do that! Not after that moment we just had; not after what we almost did in your house. You cannot desire me and berate me at the same time." Rili shakes her head and walks past Vician, heading for the door.

"Where do you think you are going?" He yells after her.

"Somewhere I am actually respected." She turns around at face Vician, "You talk a big game, on how you're so respectful to your demons, but in reality, you're exactly like Tibarn; a stuck up, narcissistic asshole!" And with that, she turns on her heels and walks out of the Royal Chamber, slamming the door behind her.

Growling, Vician does not notice Kalira stepping out of the Private Chamber, having heard the whole fight. He does not notice her until she places a hand on his shoulder gently. "Vician," she says softly.

Closing his eyes, Vician forces himself to calm down, before turning around and facing Kalira. "I'm guessing you heard that," he mutters softly.

Kalira rolls her eyes and gives him a pointed look, "I think half of the Undercity heard that." Vician chuckles at that and looks back towards the door that Rili left out of. Coming around to the front of him, Kalira gently takes his face in her hands, forcing him to look at her, "Hey. I need your mind here. Don't worry about Rili, she's just calming down. But I need you." She kisses his lips gently, "Ok?"

Vician nods his head, "Ok."

Kalira smiles and steps back. "How do we get that demon out of Sylvanas?"

Vician shakes his head and runs his hand through his hair, "If Taniel has someone more powerful than me, there is little I can do. Besides, dark magic only feeds dark magic. That protection barrier is some the strongest dark magic I have. I would have held off Taniel, but I can't defeat him with it."

Kalira shoulders sag, "Then what do we do?"

"The only way to defeat Taniel is to combat him with light magic. I don't know of anyone who follows the Light in the Undercity."

Kalira thinks for a moment, before perking up, "I do."

Standing before the caged Zachery Lancaster, Kalira smiles, "This is the Paladin we picked up in the Eastern Plaguelands."

"What's going on in the Eastern Plaguelands?" Vician asks, concerned.

Kalira shakes her hand, "Something is driving our men crazy in the area, but I'll tell you about it later. Anyway, we could ask him," she says, motioning to the Paladin. "He only knows at little Orcish."

Vician smirks and gives Kalira a sideways glance, "I know six languages, Kalira." Ignoring her wide eyed look, Vician turns to Zachery and speaks in Common, "I am Vician Trannyth and I require your help, Human."

Zachery laughs and shakes his head, "Have you looked in a mirror, Mr. Trannyth? You look pretty human to me. By the way, my name is Zachery Lancaster."

Vician rolls his eyes, "I am Forsaken; my appearance is due to a long series of events, but none of that matters. I need your help."

Zachery scoffs, "And how can I help you, Oh powerful warlock?"

Vician looks around and steps closer to the cage. "Lady Sylvanas Windrunner is currently in a coma due to an incubus called Taniel. He apparently has some powerful backer that I cannot defeat. We need the power of the Light if we are to defeat Taniel and wake up the Banshee Queen. If you are to help me with this, I will grant you any wish you want."

Zachery raises an eyebrow, "Any wish? Even if I wish that you return with me to Stormwind and stand trial for your crimes against the Alliance?"

Vician nods his head, "Yes."

Zachery nods his head, "Alright. I'll help you, but we need to go get a friend of mine. Her power, coupled with mine should be able to do the trick. Would you grant any wish for her as well?"

"Is that a condition for you to help?" Vician asks, crossing his arms.

"It'll be a nice thing to have," Zachery responds, crossing his arms to match Vician.

Thinking it over, Vician sighs and nods his head, "Fine. She can get what she wants as well. Do we have a deal?"

Zachery smiles and nods his head, "Yes we do, Trannyth."
