Prologue

The Void. No one truly knows what it is. Well, those few who even know of it's existence that is.

Some people say it is evil incarnate. In the opinion of others it is, like it's name suggests, truly nothing. And some others again insist that it is simply another world.

But they all aren't fully right. The Void is much, much more than that.

Let me explain it with the metaphore of the wise men and the elephant:

Once upon a time there was a king. He had five advisors. Everyone of them was wise, intelligent and smart. But they also were all blind. One day the king heard of a mystical beast; the elephant. He wanted to know what it looks like, and thus he sent his advisors to find one. The advisors did so and, after a long and tiring journey, they arrived in the country of India. They were brought before the ruler of the country and asked their request. They were granted to see, or rather touch an elephant to don the information to their king. Each one of the advisors examined a different part of the animal.

One touched the legs, another the ears. Then one did the same with the elephant's trunk, another one sat on its back and the last one got to grip its tail.

They all were delighted and sped to their home in order to enlighten their king. But when they arrived in the royal palace and told the king what they had experienced, they argued about who of them was right. One claimed an elephant was a tall grey beast that resembles a pillar made of muscle. Another one denied that and said an elephant was like a pair of two big, leathery sails that can move at will. The one who got a grip on the trunk insisted that an elephant is a kind of snake that can utter loud, trumpet-like sounds. Another one said that an elephant was a vast mass of thick, leathery skin and muscle, easily capable of carrying a grown man, and the last one told the king that an elephant is just a tiny worm with some hair on its head.

But despite all the disputes and arguments the king just laughed. His advisors stopped and were confused at his amusement. They asked him what was wrong and he told them this:

"I thank you, my loyal advisors. Thanks to you I now know what an elephant looks like. It has legs that resemble pillars, big ears and a long nose that can produce the sound of a trumpet. An elephant is big in size with a vast, strong back and it poesses a small tail with some hair on its end."

The king, contrary to his advisors, was wise. He didn't insist on just one aspect; from the very beginning he saw a much bigger picture. And it is all the same with the Void. You need to see it in a bigger picture. A much bigger picture.

But what is this Void exactly?

The answer isn't quite simple. In fact, it is particularily difficult to explain anything about the Void. It is a lot of things, you see, not just one of them. We don't know much about it, but it is certain that the Void is a place. The Void is a dark world, the space between the universes. It fills the great nothing between the dimensions and holds them in line. It is like the thread that sewed the entire fabric of reality together.

But the Void is not just one thing. It is a place, a whole world of it's own, alright, but this isn't everything about it. The Void is alive. It is a giant, living dimension of its own, constantly changing, adapting and evolving. It seeks to consume and assimilate everything that it can get a hold on.

Despite what people may think the Void is not a passive spectator. It constantly tries to consume and get stronger. And this leaves lots of questions. Questions I am afraid no one is able to answer.

Why does it try to consume everything?

How does it do that?

Will it ever stop doing this?

But what we do know for certain is that everywhere where the Void or any of its inhabitants for that matter interacted with the other universes great things happened. Often brutal, mostly horrendous, rarely good. But they were always great, oh yes.

Also, despite what its name suggests, the Void is not an empty place. It is alive in its very own sense. And like every living being it has children as well. They are twisted and wretched and by no means anywhere near normal but they are the offspring of the very Void itself. These creatures are called "Children of the Void" or mostly just "Voidlings" or "Voidspawns". They are huge in numbers, often huge in size, monstrous looking and always, always, deadly. Their only purpose in the beginning was to adapt and consume and to spread the void everywhere they go. And they still do this until today, albeit much more inconspicous than in the beginning. It's the reason why so few people know about the Void: Either they don't witness its actions and stay ignorant of its existence (what you do not know you do not miss after all) or they are killed and devoured immediately by a Voidspawn upon discovering it.

In the Void there is only one principle: "Survival of the fittest". Only the strong and smart survive, while the weak and dumb are getting devoured and consumed by their kin. In the Void there is not place nor time for love, pity or anything like this.

Anyways thats the normal way of life in the Void. You fight, you win, you evolve, you fight more, and so on until you either die or manage to escape into one of the outer universes.

But there are also beings from the outer dimensoins who gazed into the Void, interacted with it, survived that encounter and ultimately changed. These select few who are strong enough to not succumb to its alluring call are granted extraordinary powers. This strength is not determined by physical or spiritual or even magical strength. No one knows what makes a living being fit to resist this dark callings. it is an unkown mystery why there are people who can harness this twisted and unholy powers.

For everyone could become such a being. an emmisary of the Void, if you want. Be it a simple animal, a normal father of a normal family, plants, or even a helpless newborn. The Void doesn't seem to care. It only seeks its own gain and has its own twisted purposes that we normal humans can't even begin to comprehend.

One thing tough we do understand about the Void:

It never, ever does something without an ulterior motive.

Never.

A/N (!important!):So, this was the prologue for my story. Its a rewrite of "Son of the Void", which was my very first fanfic-attempt. I admit it was kinda messy and without structure, so I really had to do something about it. And thats how this rewrite came to be. But now, the important part:

As you might have noticed, my take on the Void of League of Legends is a bit different than the actual canonical version. Essentially my idea is this:

The Void is a giant, semi-conscious Universe of its own. The rules of reality, physics and all this stuff do not exist there. Or better, they don't work all the time. The caves in which we see Kai'Sa in the comics for example are just a tiny part of the actual Void.
