The Adventures of Runeterra
Adventure One
"The Start of Fate"
The first adventure takes place in the Ironspike Mountains just outside Piltover, with a kid named Ezreal. Ezreal had just turned nine years of age, and had recently begun exploring the areas between Piltover and Zaun. He had wandered out so far on his exploration that he found himself at the foot of the Ironspike Mountains.
"Is this the Ironspike Mountains I see before me?" said Ezreal
"They appear different from what I've seen in the books that map Valoran".
He began to make his way up the path engraved as it would appear in the mountains, encouraged by his love for exploring.
"It looks as if these paths have been made by man" stated a very curious Ezreal.
As he came to the top of the mountain there was an opening, a large flat area. Ezreal could see over his home town Piltover, as well as Zaun. He then proceeded to turn around he could see over the state of Noxus. It was a horrific sight.
"Noxus one day I shall gather the courage to explore you but for now it will have to wait" said Ezreal.
"The shadows hide you, and the terror you hold is what stalls my progress, just the same with what I have read of the Shadow Isles".
He chose to look on.
"What is this I see now, the terrible sight of smoke" stated a clueless Ezreal for what he was seeing was Ionia.
Ionia had been at War for approximately a year, but Ezreal was too busy exploring during that time to take notice of war.
"It looks like it's coming from the direction of Ionia" said a fascinated Ezreal.
Just then Ezreal heard voices coming up the other side of the mountain; he hid behind rocks that lie just near him. A creature appeared before him; it looked reasonably human but was covered in strange markings, two men followed him they looked like shamans.
"It is in most gratitude that you show me the land on which you gathered your wisdom, thank you Thyn and Juhi".
Ezreal gathered that Thyn and Juhi were the men accompanying this man covered in tattoos.
"It is with most pleasure, Ryze" replied Thyn.
Ezreal could figure out now that the man covered in tattoos was named Ryze now. Thyn then proceeded to say.
"I have been here long enough, Ryze, to know when we are not alone, young boy behind those rocks over there come out from where you hide".
Ezreal was in shock. How did the shaman know he was there? Ezreal began to move out from behind the rock.
"State your business here, child" said Ryze.
"My business?" replied a frightened Ezreal.
"Why are you here?" asked Ryze
"I was just exploring, I love to explore Valoran" said Ezreal
Ryze was still unsure of the child but decided to be kind towards him.
"As do I" replied Ryze "What Is your name?"
"Ezreal"
"Well Ezreal" said Ryze "Shall we talk?"
"I guess so" said a worried Ezreal
And so Ryze, Ezreal and the two Shamans talked.
"So why do you love to explore? Ezreal" said Ryze.
"I've always had a fascination in Valoran and exploring it, helps me learn of it further, I used to learn magic but decided it just wasn't for me" replied Ezreal.
"I myself have learnt magic, and if you give it enough time it becomes second nature" stated Ryze who realised he had more in common with the boy than he thought.
"I've heard of a gauntlet that gives the ability of magic" said Juhi. "It has the ability to bring anyone's natural ability in magic out"
Ezreal was fascinated by the knowledge Juhi was giving him. He had always wanted to go on a large adventure.
"Where is this amulet?" asked Ezreal
"In the Shurima Desert, hidden within one of the many pyramids" replied Juhi. "Many people have died searching for it, as it takes so long to find, but no one ever does".
"How long would it take to get there?" asked an extremely curious Ezreal.
"A couple years just to get to the Shurima Desert, who knows how long to find it" replied Thyn.
"I shall begin preparing then" said Ezreal excited "But I have many other quests to complete prior".
"You will require our assistance, when time has you go" said Juhi
"Let us know when that time is" added Thyn
Ryze decided it was time to continue and for him to take his leave.
"I shall be going, thank you kind Thyn and Juhi for your words of wisdom, it was nice meeting you too Ezreal, I wish you best on your adventure".
"Where are you going?" asked Ezreal
"To Zaun, for I have a friend I need to meet there" replied Ryze.
"Good luck to you Ryze" said Thyn
"Yes, Good luck" added Juhi
"Thank you good friends, now I shall take my leave, goodbye" said Ryze as he began walking off to the path Ezreal had entered on.
"Now, time to decide when best for me to leave for leave for the deserts" Ezreal said to the Shaman.
"It would be best we leave now, while Noxus is busy fighting in Ionia" said Thyn
"But I'm not prepared just yet" stated a worried Ezreal.
"Don't worry we will have to stop in Demacia first, as to acquire knowledge relating to the amulet, Ezreal." Reassured Juhi.
"When shall we head for Demacia then?" asked Ezreal
"In a couple days that will allow for preparation" said Thyn
"I will go and prepare then" said Ezreal ready for the adventure he faced.
"Yes, so shall we" replied both the Shamans in sync with each other and so they took their leave.
Ezreal began to make his way back the way he came. When he arrived in Piltover Caitlyn was waiting for him. Caitlyn had a strong interest in the law and had to know what you were doing at all times. Although Caitlyn is six years older than Ezreal, they are still good friends through the maps that Ezreal has designed assist Caitlyn in her never ending want for justice.
"What have you been up to today, Ezreal?" stated Caitlyn
"Just expanding my maps and knowledge of the surroundings, like any explorer" replied Ezreal, he didn't want to tell Caitlyn about going to Demacia for he knew she would have a say in it.
"I see" said Caitlyn.
After saying goodbye to Caitlyn, Ezreal headed for his home. He entered his room full of paper, maps he had drafted on those pieces of paper and the blue prints that also lay scattered. He began packing them all into a bag and began to prepare himself for the second day ahead. The next day seemed to go quick, and by then it was finally time for Ezreal to meet with the Shamans again. As Ezreal left the house Caitlyn appeared.
"I didn't see you all day yesterday Ezreal, is something wrong?" asked Caitlyn
"No, just getting ready for another exploration around Piltover" replied Ezreal worried that Caitlyn would discover his plans.
"Ok" said Caitlyn
Ezreal felt the stress and fear subside and he began to make his way to the gate of Piltover. Little did he know that Caitlyn was following him.
"I've never seen him carry that much stuff with him before, something's going on" stated Caitlyn as she followed him towards the gate.
"I knew it he's leaving Piltover, which means he was lying to me, well then where are you going?"
Caitlyn followed Ezreal all the way to the top of the mountain; she quickly hid when she saw the two Shamans.
"It would appear your being followed, Ezreal" said Thyn.
"By who?" asked Ezreal.
"A teenage girl" replied Juhi.
"Teenage girl?... Caitlyn?... Oh Oh" said Ezreal who was worried, about what she would say.
"Oh Oh indeed Ezreal!" replied Caitlyn "What do you think you are doing?"
"We were going to go to Demacia" replied Ezreal who thought he was about to be killed.
"Demacia? Interesting…" Caitlyn said with most curiosity.
This is not the response he thought he would get.
"I'm coming with you then" said Caitlyn
Ezreal was in shock.
"What?" he replied.
"Come on then let's go"
And so Ezreal, Caitlyn and the two Shamans began their journey to Demacia, and that is where Caitlyn's adventure shall begin.
End of Adventure One
