The sun shone over the horizon, filling the room with radiant light. A small body could be seen shifting around under the covers of his small, purple bed. Slowly, he stretched his cramped-self upwards, letting the sheets fall and revealing himself to be the one and only ninja yordle, Kennen, better known as the Heart of the Tempest. He rolled out of bed and as he started doing his morning exercises, which consisted of various quick workouts to kickstart his metabolism, his mind was focused on the day ahead. He just got inducted into the League, where the best of Runeterra gather for many reasons, of which his was to protect Ionia. Later in the afternoon, he will be moving into the Institute, his new 'home' away from the Kinkou Temple. A room had already been constructed for him, so all he had to do was to pack his personal belongings to take there. There wasn't much stuff that he had anyway, so packing would not take too long. He removed a small carrier from his closet and began placing some clothing and weapons into it. At the very bottom of his cupboard, Kennen removed his most valuable procession, a photo album of his past before he joined the Kinkou Order. Everyday, regardless of how tired he was from training or a mission, he would leaf through this book that contained many happy memories. Seeing these pictures would relax him, especially those that contained his best friend. When he was young, Kennen played with the creme-coloured yordle whenever he got the chance, always eager to show off his agility and speed to him while playing tag. Sometimes, they would go to the forest and play hide-and-seek, with Kennen losing most of the time because the latter could camouflage into his surroundings with ease. Eventually, they had to part ways as Kennen pursued his dream of being part of the Kinkou Order while his friend stayed in Bandle City. Looking at a selfie taken of the two of the covered in dirt after another round of hide-and-seek, Kennen sighed deeply,"Teemo..."
Finally finishing what was left of his small luggage, Kennen changed out of his night clothes and into his ninja garb, tossing his laundry into the bag. "I'll just wash them later at the Institute." He thought. Then there was a knock on the door. "Kennen! Breakfast is ready!" A female voice rang out. Immediately, Kennen jumped up and began jogging to the dining room. Despite all the years of eating her cooking, he still couldn't get enough of Akali's appetising cuisine. Even before he entered the room, a delightful aroma wafted through the air, tickling his senses. He was then greeted by Shen's emotionless tone, already halfway through his bacon and eggs. Akali also acknowledged his presence, except in a more motherly way. "Took you long enough! This is going to be your last breakfast from me since, at the Institute, we will have no personal kitchens. So, I made a special one today. Enjoy!" Kennen gladly obeyed as he took his seat and began tucking into the meal before him, savouring every bite. After finishing up, Akali took their plates to the sink while Shen and Kennen went off to fetch their luggages. Later, the trio met up at the entrance of the Kinkou Temple, luggages in tow. "So how are we travelling there again?" Kennen curiously asked. Akali looked down at him, replying,"the summoners are going to create a portal that will allow us to instantly travel to the Institute. They are a bit late though." Just as she finished that sentence, a glimmer of light shone from within the doorway to the Temple, slowly expanding until it matched the size of the doorway it covered. One by one, they stepped through it, feeling like they were passing through a sheet of cold water.
After squinting for a moment, Kennen's eyes finally adjusted to the brightness of his new surroundings. He was in a intensely lit place that was slowly dimming. People in purple robes surrounded them, their hands still glaring with arcane magic. "Welcome to the Institute, Kinkou Order!"
