"What…?"
An ordinary afternoon. Coming home from academy, sitting on the front porch, watching people walk by - nothing seemed interesting… That is, until someone caught her eye.
He was standing in front of the manor gates. A complete stranger, but for some reason she felt connected to him immediately; it felt like she had met him before, and was a very important person in her life. Something about him made her heart race: the worn clothing, the short stature, the golden hair that covered half his face, but most distinctively the huge gauntlet he wore around his left hand. At the time he seemed preoccupied with something, though she couldn't really see what from where she was sitting.
"What..?"
Repeating the phrase once more, she stared intently at the person. Before she knew it she had stood up, and was walking towards the gates.
No! What are you doing? Stop! He will notice...
She tried to control her body, but all the reason in her brain seemed to have been drowned out. Soon enough she found herself pressing her hands into the iron bars and gazing intently at the mysterious person.
As if finally noticing her presence, the person looked up, and for a fleeting second her eyes met with his, before she quickly looked down and broke her gaze. She felt her face starting to burn. His eyes were the colour of rich sapphire blue, unlike the plain, boring blue in hers. They were not like anything she'd ever seen before. Her face burned hotter at the thought.
The person stopped about a meter from the gate. Unsure of what to do, she started to panic. Come on, think of something to say!
"I-Is there anything I can help you with…?" she asked tentatively, talking more to the marble walkway than to him.
From the corner of her eye she saw a smile form on his face, before he parted his lips and replied.
"You must be Lux of the Crownguard family. Yes, in fact, there is something you can help me with. The name is Ezreal, by the way."
A/N: Phew, a new story, finally! This one is going to be based on the game League of Legends, and unlike the last one I intend on this one being quite long. Once again, I'm sorry if I upload slow, but that aside, please enjoy! (Next chapter should be out by tomorrow, should).
