Dawn at the Wild Rift (Book IV)

Chapter 19

(This chapter is dedicated to JaeJennyJaneBio)

Narrowing her sight at the twin-braided and talkative brat, Evelynn hisses, "Shut up. I ain't talkin' to you."

However, when she returns her sight to Talon, her sweet smile curves on her lips and she lovingly looks at him. She takes a few steps towards her and runs her hand on his right shoulder blade.

"We should get a room for ourselves," she whispers, sending shivers down Jinx's spine upon hearing her. She shudders just by thinking what would happen and shakes her head to drive away her wild imagination. She knows too well that every man she lures in with her beauty ends up dead.

"Err, horny Evelynn, that doesn't work on pretty boy," Jinx interjects, earning herself another glare from the woman.

Talon, this time, brushes her off. He knows how dangerous Evelynn is. However, for her to come and visit at such a time of day when the sun is still up and shining, something serious must have happened. He leaves Jinx for a while and takes Evelynn to the Du Couteau mansion to discuss whatever news she brought.

"So you wanna go for it in this large hall?" Evelynn giggles, her silver eyes glowing while licking her lips. Her hands lie flat on Talon's chest but before she could even touch him any further, the assassin grips her head and pushes her away.

"What news did you bring?" he asks. Evelynn pouted at him and crosses her arms.

"Boo... you're so boring," she mumbles. She crosses her arms and didn't want to speak unless Talon gives in to her lustful habits.

"You can have as many men as you want later. Just spill what you came  to talk about. As you know, I do not have the luxury to waste time dealing with your tantrums," Talon says. His gaze is sharp and stern that gives no room for Evelynn to play hooky.

She rolls her eyes and and clicks her tongue. For her, the souls of a thousand men still weigh no much value compared to Talon's soul. If she could only have him for herself, she'd be more than satisfied.

"Fine," she retorted. This time, it is her turn to look at him with a sharp gaze. A grin forms on her lips and states, "We have unwelcomed visitors."

Even though there is no further information about the unwelcomed visitors, Talon comes to realize what Evelynn means. His forehead wrinkled in confusion.

"How did they manage to open the portal?" he asks. One of the reasons why they wanted the Black Dragon to reappear was to open the gateway back to Runeterra. Talon searched for years if another portal exists on the side of the Land of Dawn but he never found one.

Nevertheless, it still doesn't change the fact that they are proceeding with their plan smoothly. It is only a matter of time before they could open several passages going to Land of Dawn. And before their enemies would realize it, the warriors of Runettera will conquer them.

"Not that it matters. Form a group so you could have a bit of fun with the guests," Talon states. It would also be a good idea to send Jinx over so she could go berserk but she is to guard Hanabi.

Talon dismisses Evelynn but before he could turn his back on her, the demoness pounces on him and plants a deep kiss on his lips.

"That should be enough compensation of you sending me away," she snickers before stepping away. "But if I come back with the heads of those visitors, just a kiss wouldn't satisfy me, pretty boy."

Talon didn't take her seriously though. He heads back to Sett's tavern and decides to let Jinx free. With their unexpected visitors just around the corner of Runeterra, it would be problematic if they find their way to Noxus. Hanabi should remain hidden from then until the next red full moon to come.
