NA: Hi guys! Afterglow is back. I deleted the story because I wished to change some stuff withtin it. I didn't have much time to write, and Riot kept updating their lore with the introduction of the Vastaya. If you've already read the story, the major changes start from chapter 6.

Prologue

Master Jillian entered the cold room, rubbing his hands to warm them up. Despite the freezing air and the bad weather, his excitation was at its peak as it was always the case whenever someone wished to join the League of Legends. Over the last months, only few people had attempted to join, and all had failed. This time the candidate seemed to be promising, and Jillian was looking forward to evaluating her. The test was about to start when he entered the office. The evaluation consisted in two parts: the first one was made to assess the candidate's mind whereas the second one aimed to test their actual skills. The candidate, who was a your woman with black hair, was waiting for him. Jillian immediately noticed her long white tail and pointy ears. He gave her a smile, and she grinned shyly. He sat in front of her and asked:

"I am Master Jillian. I will evaluate you for both parts of the test. What is you name and where do you come from?"

"My name is Ahri," she replied with a soft voice. "I'm from Ionia."

"How have you heard about the League of Legends?"

"I wanted to change everything in my life. I was told that here I could restart from the beginning."

"This is true. The League is willing to grow. This is why, if you are worthy of joining, you will, regardless of your background story. We will now start the first test. I will ask you some questions, and I want you to reply as quick as possible. Let the answers come to your mind and do not be ashamed of them"

"Alright," Ahri stared at him in the eye.

"The cat and the dog are fighting. Who is right?"

"The one with the longest claws."

"Running or flying, which one is the fastest?"

"Flying."

"The sun goes down. What color is the sky?"

"Fire."

"The sun rises. What color is the sky."

"Blood."

"Fire or blood, which one are you?"

"Fire."

The young girl's answers were fluent and Jillian's eyes sparkled with pleasure.

"What happens when the fire falls into the ocean?"

"It spreads its wings and flies away from the water."

"Can it reach the sun?"

"It has already reached it."

"What is the fire's best friend?"

"The air."

"Why so?"

"The air carries the fire."

"What is fire?"

"A light in the dark."

"Are you the fire?"

"I am the light in the dark."

"Will you fade away?"

"I will only grow brighter."

"Do you want to join the League of Legends?"

"I do."

"Will you lighten it?"

"I will until the sun stops stetting"

A large smile appeared on Jillian's face. Ahri's liveliness was impressive, and her answers were all the more interesting as she grew more confident.

"Very well. This part is finished. I will call you out when the next test is ready."

The candidate nodded and quietly walked out, leaving Jillian with her answers. The second test was usually created depending on the answers given during the first one.

A few hours later, he called the young girl and led her to a large room. A giant eagle was tied to a ring in the ground by its leg.

"This bird has a key around its neck. Your objective is to retrieve it by any means possible."

All the candles lightening the room were suddenly blown out, leaving it pitch black, but Ahri could hear the sound of the chains very clearly thanks to her sharp hearing. She moved forward, and a large ball of arcane energy appeared in her hand, casting a blue light around. The bird became agitated, staring at the human in front of it. It suddenly lunged forward, and Ahri disappeared in a blink, dashing away. A blue light brutally hit the eagle before disappearing, plunging the room into the darkness again.
