October 27th, Institute of War, Champion Dorms,
Dear Journal,
The Halloween party is coming up! I don't want it to be the same as last year! I was too scared and nervous, but I certainly won't repeat the same mistake this year!
This all began when Noxus decided to join the Institute of War's Halloween celebration to commemorate 4 years since the establishment of the League of Legends, and they are doing it again! Of course, Demacia was also invited to take part. But that's not the point. In order to make the night memorable, the Institute of War held a ball, at midnight of course, and invited each of the Valoran nations to send their couples. This was intended to create a friendly atmosphere where rival nations can be at ease, and each nation's champions can enjoy one of their few days off and not worry about politics and war. This year is going to be the 5th Year Halloween Celebration, and I heard that the Institute was going to add some new attractions. I can't wait to finally take a day off!
Well, last year, it was not enjoyable for me. Most of the champions that attended the ball were already couples. There were the really popular ones; such as Garen and Lux, as well as Katarina and Darius. There were some less popular ones, but still known, such as Varus and Lulu, and Shen and Akali. There were even some that were unexpected, like Soraka and Urgot, Yasuo and Vi, Leona and Corki, Pantheon must be raging so hard at that one.
Then there's me. Just me, a Noxus assassin, stylish, but no one notices. It seems like most of the champions that attended were already paired and ready for the ball. Of course, like any celebration, there are a handful of champions that don't seem to enjoy any celebrations at all. Champions and like Renekton, Nasus, and Azir are only there to represent their civilization of Shurima, although Azir seems particularly drawn to the Freljord Cryophoenix Anivia, not sure how that one is going to end up. Then there's her. Of course, it just had to be.
Demacia's prince; Jarvan the 4th, is always busy with his state matters, so the prince never attends a voluntary meeting, much less a celebration. The same goes for our Noxus High-Commander Swain, although I'm not sure what Swain has to do since he doesn't go to many meetings. Anyways, not wanting to be outdone, Jarvan sends, of course, his whole royal guard of champions to represent him. What has he to fear? Afterall, it is implied that Noxus and Demacia are at a temporary peace at the moment, especially during this celebration when aggressive actions from either sides will be met with frowns and disgust. Well the prince is most certainly busy with more than just state matters, rumors say that the prince has many fan girls, champions and citizen alike, the most notable being Shyvanna the Half-Dragon. The best part is coming up.
Among those fan girls, some whom the prince may never notice, is my crush. Yes, I do have a crush on a Demacian. I know it is forbidden to have a crush in Noxus, especially on someone from Demacia, but Halloween is a day when everyone can forget their political differences. Anyhow, I have my eyes set on the one and only Grand Duelist, you guessed it! I've been watching Fiora ever since she entered the League to fight for Demacia, and for anyone who picks her as their champion.
Just like myself, Fiora was wandering alone during the celebration last year. She looked a little sad, as if not sure what to do. Many summoners and champions alike asked her for a dance, but she politely declined them all. I was trailing her pretty well, assassin skills are best for stalking, regardless of the intent. Anyhow, Fiora didn't dance with anyone last year, but it pained me to see her walk off by herself into the night. She didn't even walk with the rest of the Demacians. I, of course, didn't have the courage to do anything but watch.
But this year I will change. This year, I'll make sure that I make Fiora happy. 4 more days, just be patient.
