Chapter 1
Lee Sin let out a deep sigh and laid back on the grass. The Blind Monk was relaxing on a hill by the Institute of War, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the calm summer breeze. This was the peace that he lived for. He took another deep breath and drifted off to sleep. But not so long after he dozed off he woke to a scream. Or so he thought. Bolting to his feet, Lee Sin turned his head to the noise, but it seemed to come from all sides. He moved one way and the cries faded, so he took off in the opposite direction. Eventually the pleas for help became louder, almost like they came from inside his head.
"Someone help, please, I'm losing my grip!" the voice cried out.
Sensing someone above him, Lee clicked his tongue and a got an image of his surroundings. Someone was hanging on the tree above him, her fingers slipping. With a shriek, she fell, only to land in the Blind Monk's arms. As she landed, he was flooded by her scent, and recognized the woman immediately.
"Lady Sona, please be more cautious when you go wandering. I believe all of Valoran would mourn if your angelic music was silenced," the Monk chuckled.
The Maven of the String flushed bright red, both from embarrassment and the compliment. She frantically searched about trying to find a way to express her gratitude.
"Oh, how do I tell him thank you? This is bad, this is bad, this is bad..."
"No need to thank me, I'm just glad I heard your cries for help," Lee Sin replied.
Sona froze and her eyes grew wide.
"You... you can hear me?" she asked.
"Yes, why?" Lee Sin asked, confused. "Why wouldn't I not hear you talk?"
She embraced the Monk before she put his hands on her throat.
"Master Lee... I can't speak."
