Chapter 1: The New Champion
"Well… this is it." I whispered to myself as I walked through the several gates and checkpoints of the league. Today was the day that I was revealed as the newest addition to the League of Legends, the newest champion. Although it was only a reveal and I would not be allowed to take place in matches until two weeks from now, I was allowed to socialize with the other champions and spectate their matches. I was extremely nervous having to be around all these people and creatures that I have only heard stories about. I began to lose myself to my thoughts of my past that would become my lore that the summoners would know about me.
I was alone for most of my life…being from an Ionian village that was raided by Noxus. My family died in the invasion…my mother died holding me in her arms to protect me from a Noxian sword that pierced right through her chest, slowing saber enough so that it wouldn't penetrate through my own skin. Her final words to me being: "Stay beneath me and wait until the invasion is over… I love you…my son…" Those ten seconds felt like ten separate eternities. Her voice was hardly a whisper as she gave me her last words of her life.
I wanted to cry so bad as I waited for the one sided battle to finally be over. My mother's blood dripping onto my white clothes eventually dying it red. After I heard the Noxian army continue onwards, I decided to wait one more hour just to be sure that my mother didn't die for nothing. I thought about my father who was some distance from the village protecting an ancient and sacred place, just as I would one day when he can no longer stand guard. It was my family's bloodline that was trusted to protect the ancient evils that spawned from the ground there. Maybe he was still alive, I thought to myself. At the rate of screams that I heard during the invasion, I would be happy to know that any of my former villagers would still be alive.
However, as I uncovered myself from my mother's corpse, I would discover that not one of my old neighbors would still have a beating heart. Before I would go to see my father, I dug a small hole in the ground to lay my mother in. "Father will understand." I said before I began to bury her as I cried. I would not allow the flies to swarm her body even though if my dad was still alive he would want to see her one more time.
I finished burying her and wiped my tears as I began my way to my father's post. I would not allow him to see me cry. My father was the strongest of our village and I wouldn't allow myself to disappoint him by showing weakness. After some time it began to get dark, but I had to find him if it was the last thing I did. I took the final step up the hill where I would often visit to keep him company just hours before the slaughter that happened.
What I saw made my heart sank as deep as the pit that my family was trusted to guard. My father was nowhere in sight. I immediately thought that the worst had happened. I sobbed and howled before I stopped to think what my father would think of my current state. I once again wiped my tears. That was when I noticed something: there was no corpse to be found. I looked closely to what I thought was my father's blood before I realized it was a different substance that hissed when I got closer to it. "He could still be alive!" I said to myself. My father was strong. There was no way he would have been killed so easily. And it was then I pledged myself to find the murderer of my mother and kill her in the name of revenge just as I knew my father most have done, the pledge that I made so many years ago. But after searching and training for years I could not find the Noxian who made my life a hell, and I searched for my father. It was then I heard of the League where It was very possible that he could be a part of them. My father was the best archer in all of Ionia.
I was so lost in my own past that I didn't even realize that I was about to walk into another person…no not a person…an ape. "AHH! Hey you better watch where you're goin-...wait… aren't you the new champion?" He asked me. "Yes, I apologize for not paying attention to where I am… I am just very nervous." I half lied to him. He then smiled at me and extended a hand that I happily took. "My name is Wukong, and its no problem. Everyone is nervous on their first day." "Thank you, please call me Thev." I replied. " Thev, huh, well I've heard weirder names than that one. Lunch is soon why don't you join me? Where are u from by the way?" he asked. I smiled knowing that I just made a new friend "that sounds great. I am from Ionia." When I said this Wukong became very excited. "Perfect! You can sit at the Ionian table with us!" he then grabbed my hand and dragged me to what I expected was the cafeteria.
After we got out of the line to get today's meal, a sandwich of your choosing, we sat at a table full of other champions that were from the quiet lands of Ionia. Everyone was chatting with one another except for one which caught my eye. "Who is she?" I asked Wukong. "Ha, under her spell already, huh? That's Ahri." He answered me. "Under her spell? I just thought she looked lonely over there all by herself." I said. Wukong sighed, "yeah ,she usually sits by herself. She used to drain men of the life essence to become more human. You see she used to be a fox until one day she found a dying mage and when she drained him of his essence, she became about half human and extremely beautiful, as you can tell. So she would lure men with her looks and then drain them until she eventually became fully human. However one day she stopped and joined the league, although no one knows why exactly. When people found out the viewed her as a whore who used people to become stronger, but I always felt bad for her. She doesn't have very many friends, just a few from different factions." I had heard of the story of a fox that dreamed to become human before during my travels, but I thought that they were just stories. "Do you mind if we sit by her?" I asked him. "Sure you can try, though she usually just pushes people away." I thanked Wukong and we when to sit across from Ahri.
When we sat, Ahri looked up at us, almost surprised that someone would want to be seen near her. "Hello Ahri" Wukong said. "Hey Wukong. Who's this?" she said. I decided that i should introduce myself. "I'm Thev, the newest champion. I just got here today." I nearly stuttered as I noticed her shining golden eyes that made me understand by what Wukong meant when he said something about her spell. She stared at me directly in my own eyes for seconds before she realized she looked away almost looking embarrassed. "Hi Thev." She stated and then immediately looked away. It was silent for a bit before I spoke up to break the awkwardness. "So these are all the champions from Ionia? Looks a lot smaller than the other tables." I said as I noticed the Noxian table and Demacian tables were almost full. "Well they're more of us. A lot of Ionians seem to like being alone for whatever reason they have. A good friend of mine named Yi just likes the quite so he can meditate. Others like Zed and Syndra I would have no clue, nor would I like to know." Wukong informed me. "I see," I said as I thought I might try my luck. "I have to ask a weird question," I stated. "Is there an Ionian archer in the League?" Both Ahri and Wukong gave me a questioning look. "I can't think of one." Wukong said. I was about to sigh just as Ahri spoke up. "I know of one. His name is Varus. Why do u ask?" I gasped from a mix of joy and relief. He was here. I looked at both of them before announcing the reason to my unusual question. "Varus …is my father."
