A.N; Greetings everyone! I've decided that I'm also going to start working on a second fanfiction in conjunction with my current one; The Fated Summoner. I'll try to update this one on a regular basis, but I don't think the updates will be coming as often until I finish my first fanfiction. Anyway, this story is told from the first person point of view of an OC, and there will be lemony/explict content as a fair warning (I felt the urge to challenge myself to write a fanfiction with M rated topics, instead of the usual lighthearted, almost-but-not M rated stuff), so if you don't like that stuff and you read it later on, not my fault for not paying heed to the warning (there is a reason this is rated M). Anyway, that's enough of the warnings. Enjoy the story, and please R&R. I would rather like to see/read the thoughts of readers.

- Chapter 1: A beginning and an end. -
"Logging in... Loading..."
I read aloud. I stretched, and took the quick 7 second intermission to lean back in my chair and relax. I gently brush my blue-green tinted bangs out of my eyes, so I can see the home screen. Oh, pardon me. My name is Mellia. Mellia Merrodyne. Interesting last name, isn't it? I have no idea where the hell it originated from. Ah, yes. You must be wondering what is loading up for me? It's the newest game I've meant to play. It's called "League of Legends." Perhaps you've heard of it? Perhaps not. Either way, this is a tale of well... Interesting events. What happens, I warn you now, is not for the faint of heart. There will be plenty of times of where I go into graphic discussion, both through violent actions, language and adult content. I figure I should warn you now, before you read too much into this.
I should probably explain what I look like too. Not very nice to talk about yourself, and have the person you're telling not know what you look like. I have blue-green hair, obviously dyed. My hair falls down my back like a waterfall, similar to how long Irelia's hair is. But a tad bit longer than that, I assume. I have azure eyes, and I'm about... Last time I measured myself, I was about 5'8". I'm also lightly tanned, like Nidalee is.
Anyway, it's October 29th, 2012. Two days 'til Halloween. Yeah, I know, cliché beginning; events happen right before a holiday, etc, etc. Call it cliche if you'd like, but this is a true story of what happened to me. I had the house to myself for a full week and a half as well. My mother and father were off on a relaxing cruise down in the Caribbean, or somewhere like that. So, Season 2's about to end, so I hopped on my account. I was planning on hitting 1500 in Solo queue, as I was at 1460. Only another 3-4 wins, and I was set. I would have that beloved Janna skin for this season. Or, y'know. So I had planned. I queue up in a match, and interestingly enough, there's no queue timer. The champion select immediately opens up. I don't have a chance to accept or decline the match. Before I know it, there's only one champion available on my list.
This is where things get a bit freaky first off. Everyone but I was already locked in. There was no summoner names. There was no champions selected. To me, it looked like I was the only one with a champion selected. On top of that, the champion I had selected... Rather, was only able to choose... Was myself. Yes. I, Mellia Merrodyne, was suddenly a champion of the League of Legends.
"I must have... accidentally fallen asleep in the queue... I was really tired when I came home from school today." I told myself. Yeah, that's it. I had just fallen asleep. This was just a bad dream. No. No it really wasn't. With a blinding flash, and the sound effects announcing that the match had begun, I was pulled into the world of the League. That is. I was forcefully pulled into Summoner's Rift, for a Ranked Match. When I had no idea what the fuck I was doing.
"Gaah!" I shouted, faceplanting onto the spawning platform. I gently stood up, and looked around, blinking uncertainly. This was indeed the League of Legends 5v5 map, Summoner's Rift. I was on the Blue team, and my lord, was this place stunning in my eyes. I turn around, and come face to face with my teammates.
"..? You are... our fifth?" A blue, bald man asks me. He was Ryze, the Rogue Mage. That's who he had to be.
"This must have been a screw up with the summoning... This is rather unfortunate..." A woman, with shorter white hair concurs. I'm presuming that's Riven, the Exile. She takes a step closer towards me, and looks up and down my person. I can't help but feel myself blushing, at both the attention and the woman standing infront of me. I was... Curious about the same gender as myself, but I wasn't THAT curious. What really set me off, was the woman with the rather large sheriff's hat, and beautiful long blue hair. Her gaze pierced through me like her bullets. Her name was Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover, and she was garbed in her Officer skin. She took a few simple strides towards me, and smiled slightly.
"You are my support for this game. Are you fine with this?"| She asked. Everything about her was attractive in my eyes. Her delicate face, her curved body... Again, curious, but NOT that curious. I nod slowly, unable to form coherent sentences, without fear of jumbling up my words. The last person, a man completely garbed in blue... tights? ninja armor? nodded towards me. That must be Shen, the Eye of the Twilight. It was... breathtaking, seeing my team here.
"Thirty seconds until minions spawn!" The announcer called out, as Shen nodded towards the direction of the Blue Ancient Golem.
"Ryze, Riven. Let us be off. I wish to be there, on the off chance they invade." Shen said, as he ran off towards the Blue Golem, wearing cloth armor and five health pots dangling from his belt. Ryze tossed his Mana crystal into the air, and pocketed it as he ran after Shen. Riven merely equipped her cloth armor as well, and took five health pots as well. I looked at Caitlyn, who was just tightening the laces on her boots, and was attaching her health potions to her belt. I was actually in luck; supporting was my best role. I quickly ran over to the shopkeeper, and bought myself a Faerie charm, 3 wards, and two health potions. In a flash, Caitlyn and I had sprinted off towards the bottom lane.
"So, just who are you? I do not recall you being on the Champion roster..." Caitlyn asked me. I could feel there was a bit of disappointment in her voice, as I looked away sadly.
"My name is Mellia Merrodyne. I -was- a simple summoner until recently... And then I became a champion, without any indication. Do you feel like I'm going to let you down?" I asked Caitlyn, as Caitlyn shook her head, and flashed me a charming smile.
"I do not. I feel that you will be a great asset to our team. I haven't the faintest idea what you are capable of, but I suppose we shall find out soon enough. Our opponents are Varus and Taric. Be wary. They will shatter your defenses in an instant." Caitlyn forewarned me, as she set a trap down in the enemy bushes.
"Minions have spawned!" The announcer cried out, as Caitlyn took a few steps back, and stood beside me, near the turret.
"Middle is Ryze against Ahri. Top is Riven against Irelia. The Jungle is Shen against Sejuani." Caitlyn told me. "Their ganking powers are stupidly good. Be wary of Sejuani's-" she began, as I held up a hand.
"Sejuani's mace, that can freeze us all in place for two seconds. I know. As well as Ahri's Charm, and Irelia's true damage from her hiten style. Varus' abilities can also destroy a certain percentage of my health, and Taric can majorly boost Varus' armor, attack damage and ability power." I tell Caitlyn, as the Sheriff smiles and nods.
"Good. You are well informed, at the least. Very well, shall we begin the battle?" She asked, as the minions ran past us.
"Yeah, there's no sense in waiting around!" I say, as I look over my abilities while Caitlyn begins taking shots at the minions. Apparently, my summoner abilities had been converted into lesser abilities. I was able to either help my allies' strength Surge, or I was able to slightly drain my opponent's strength and Exhaust them. I was able to also use a combination of Heal and Clarity, but the cooldown on that was similar to Soraka's base cooldown of 20 seconds. I would also grant a Barrier to my allies... And for my Ultimate, I was able to lock an opponent in place for 2 seconds. They were also silenced for 1.5 seconds after the duration, working wonders on the Ability Power champion...
Minutes passed, and Varus had yet to shoot an ability at Caitlyn. On numerious occasions, Taric had stunned the young sheriff, only to find his abilities did no damage after I healed Caitlyn to full health. I had targeted Varus on multiple occasions with my Exhaust ability, feeling that was a better choice, and allowing Caitlyn to score that Headshot of hers when she needed to.
"First blood!" finally called out across the arena. A picture of Shen and Riven appeared, as Sejuani appeared to be the slain one. Caitlyn smiled, and dropped a trap just behind Varus. Perhaps the Archer had not seen it, but he stepped straight into it, and found himself stunned and locked in place. Caitlyn unloaded her full prowess into the oncoming barrage, landing a perfect Piltover Peacemaker on Varus' chest, as she took aim at his body, with her final ability; Ace in the Hole. I heard Taric flash, attempting to take the bullet for his lane partner. He knew even with his Heal, he wasn't going to be able to save Varus. I held out my hand, as purple blocks surrounded Taric, and locked him in place, while the bullet whizzed past his face and found it's way to Varus' heart.
"An enemy has been slain!" Varus fell to his knees, as Caitlyn took three shots at Taric, one of them being a headshot, forcing him to fall back.
"Excellent job, Mellia. That was a good use of your... Ultimate ability?" Caitlyn asked me, as I nodded slowly. I was still blushing from being near her... Until I saw a pink heart flying at her.
"Caitlyn, watch out!" I cried out, throwing up a barrier around her, as the pink heart impacted her. Mid and Top had called no MIAs, since they last left lane. Caitlyn's eyes widened, as she realized what the late MIAs meant... Varus' fellow champions were pissed that Caitlyn and I had defeated him.
"Bristle, attack!" The Amazonian warrioress, known as Sejuani, cried out, as she hurled her mace at us. I clapped my hands together, as I healed and restored Caitlyn's mana. At the last second, Caitlyn snapped out of Ahri's Charm, and managed to fire her 90 Caliber Net to the right, propelling her out of Sejuani's ultimate's explosion range. I ran to the left, Surging myself to increase my movement speed. I dove for the floor, as the mace just flew over my head. But that wasn't enough to save either of us from the final threat; Irelia. The Captain of the Ionian guard bladesurged at Caitlyn, activating her Hiten Style, as she began to claw and slash at Caitlyn. There was nothing I could do to stop the onslaught. I had no abilities left at this point... Or did I?
Without thinking, I ran at Irelia, holding my hand out. "Exhaust!" I shouted, as a reddish cylinder surrounded her. A massive barrier began to appear around Caitlyn, as Ahri dashed at us, with three fireballs encircling her. What she hadn't remembered was that our Jungler was Shen. SHEN. The master of cockblocking a kill. Shen appeared by Caitlyn's side, and Shadow Dashed at Sejuani and Ahri, catching them both in his dash, and pulling them towards our turret. Shen threw his Vorpal Blade, and marked Ahri as the designated target, as Caitlyn started taking shots at her. I thought we were fine... Until I remembered that I had forgotten about Irelia. I turned to my left only to feel the impact of Irelia's blades impaling my chest. It wasn't enough to kill me, but my lord, did it HURT! Her other two blades dug in my shoulder blades, which is what I assumed to be her Equilibrium Strike ability. I stumbled back, as blood began to flow out of my body like a damned fountain. My vision began to get a little bit blurry. And Sejuani saw this as an opportunity to strike. I turned forward, and the last thing I saw before my vision went black was the sight of a boar charging towards me...
