It was another day of training for Katarina. It wasn't as good as it was back in Noxus. Or even in Demacia that one time she was there and not completely hidden away to avoid detection, capture, and prompt execution. She cleared her head of the line of thought, knowing bitching about it in her mind wouldn't help. Still, they could've at least made the targets move around.
She reached for her next knife before realizing that she had thrown them all. She sighed, and went to retrieve her knives from the sack of cloth and hay. She was thinking about asking the League if they could spawn minions in for the champions to train on, when she heard that voice.
"Katarina, the Sinister Blade. I've been looking for you for the past hour."
That was weird, as it wasn't even noon. What could be that important? She turned around to confront the voice.
"Riven, the Exile. How nice to see you. Why were you looking for me so early? I must admit, I am curious as to why."
She had met Riven a few times before she came to the League. She was there when High Command decided to form Fury Company. She had also gone on a few missions with the silver haired girl. She was a capable fighter back then, and even more so now that she was in the League. She had spoken with the former Noxian a few times after she joined. She was definitely a different person. Where she was a void of emotion before, she showed a plethora now.
"I have something important to say, but I have a match about now. Please stop by my room after dinner. I will be busy until then, but after words, I have something important to tell you," Riven had grown serious, her face frowning a bit.
Now, Katarina was indeed perplexed. Riven, the only person to desert from the Noxian military, and live, wanted to speak privately to one of Noxus' most famous champions. Wasn't she afraid? Katarina was brought out of her thinking by the sound of another familiar voice.
"I missed you last night at dinner. Off consorting with Garen again, were we?" Swain hissed.
"I was training last night. I have a big match later today, and my muscles have been sore lately, so I figured I would give them a long workout yesterday. In fact, this is really a cool down. That, and I have grown tired of these political dinner meetings with Zaun," Katarina responded venomously.
"Watch how you speak to your new High General, Sinister Blade. Some might call it treason. Anyway, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with the Exile. I hope you know what I'm going to ask you to do."
Katarina knew exactly what Swain wanted her to do. However, she had recently decided that she hated this man. He was smug, cocky, and not fit to rule Noxus. She decided that she wouldn't kill Riven, especially not if this man "asked" her to do it.
Katarina smiled, tricking him into thinking that she would, and excused herself for her match. When she arrived, she was startled at who was on her team.
