Chapter 1 : The Blade's Shadow
It was a dark place in a disgusting environment, there was always this foul-smelling floating in the air. The people living here were criminals, killers, rapist, but mostly thieves. Yes, the slums of Noxus were definitely not a place where someone would like to live, but it's not like the people who came from it had had a choice, most of the time they were here because they didn't have money, they were orphans, or because they were search by the noxous guards or assassins for a crime they made once and the slums were the perfect place to hide. Maybe the best place to hide, but not the safest, in the slums more than anywhere else in Noxus, the motto 'Only the strong survives' were put into practice and you could always see some dead bodies lying on the streets, even though most of the time the dead bodies were tossed in the sewer.
Talon knew more than anyone else that the life in the slums was not an easy one. He lived there alone since he was born, probably abandoned by his parents when he was born or maybe they have both been killed. He didn't really care though, he was happy not having a family to care for 'love, care, family makes you weak and weakness makes you dead'. He had once, had a friend named Kavyn, they used to steal food together, but many times because of Kavyn's incompetence to respect the original plan, Talon almost got caught by Noxian guards or the shopkeeper, and one day after Talon almost die because of Kavyn, he decided to kill him with some daggers Kavyn stole on the same day. And since, Talon promised himself to never have any friends or feel anything.
With time, Talon ended up being agile with his daggers, he handled them with precision, they were like deadly companions for him. Now, when some guards tried to arrest him, he simply killed them. One day, ten guards were after him and it didn't even take two minutes for Talon to kill them all.
But after a while, Talon's murders, started to make some noise in the High Command of Noxus, Swain himself didn't like it, it gave a bad image of Noxus knowing that one filthy street rat could kill a unit of high train guards, so he decided to put a reward on the boy's head. The only problem was that nobody knew who this boy was, neither what he looked like. The only thing they knew was that he wore a purple hood that covered his face, and for the name, well the press already took care of that mystery by calling him "The Blade's Shadow". Swain put a 10 000 $ reward for whoever would bring him The Blade's Shadow's dead body, 'See how long you're gonna last now, street rat' Swain thought with an evil smirk appearing on his face.
However, Swain was not the only one who took an interest for the boy, another man with a long coat and pepper and salt hair found an interest in the boy, but not with his dead body, no, he wanted him pretty much alive 'Oh ! Yes, I have some big plans for you Blade's Shadow …'
