Hello friends! Thanks for clicking on this story!

This is my first story, but please, don't hold back with your criticism. I'd love to hear what you think I could do better or what you think was quite good already.

This story will contain male x male shipping, so if you don't like that, you shouldn't read it.

And now without further ado, here is the first chapter of changing one's life:

It was just another day. Another day where I was sitting in the same chair, near the same desk and I was reading the same letter. I don't know how many times I have read this piece of paper already... Maybe 100 times? 200 times? Maybe even 500 times. I don't know. I've stopped counting after the first 20 times. And I don't even know why I am reading it over and over again. It's not like the content of the letter will suddenly change if I read it multiple times. But I do it each and every day.

Maybe I hope that someday I will finally have an epiphany. That I know what to do. But it never happened. I still don't know if I should just do it or let it be. And I'm getting sick of thinking about it every damn day. But I also can't just ignore it. I decided to read it one last time for today and then do something else. I don't know what I'll do, but everything seems to be more productive...

„Dear Vait,

we are happy to inform you that we have decided that you should become a Champion in the League of Legends.

Another Champion in the League has told us about you and suggested that you should join the League. So we decided to observe you for a little while and we were pleasantly surprised. Your skills seem to be worthy of that of a Champion.

We would be honored if you would join us, but you can also reject our offer if you think that the League is no place for you.

Of course you can also write us back if you have any questions regarding this topic.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely

the League of Legends recruting team."

The League of Legends... Some people would do and give everything to be in the same spot as me. And don't get me wrong! I'm very much honored that the League thinks that I am worthy of joining them as a Champion. But still... I can't just join them... I have a duty.

Most people wouldn't think that a person like me would get an invitation to join the League. And I can't blame them. I look like a normal Yordle. I have little to no fighting experience and I don't have any magic skills. But I do have another special skill! I'm an alchemist. Now, normally this would not get you into the League, obviously. But I seem to have something inside me that makes the potions I brew significantly better than the same potions others brew. I can make healing potions that can heal any kind of wound in a few seconds. Or potions that make the person that drinks it much stronger for a short time. Or even a potion that turns the skin of the person that drinks it to stone!

I've tried to teach other people brewing the potions just as I do. But not one of the potions was as good as mine. They were much worse actually.

I lost count of how many people asked me why I'm not just joining the League. That I would make a perfect addition with my strong potions. That all the yordles would cheer for me and that I would make Bandle City even prouder.

But I do have a reason why I'm not joining. Like I said, I have a duty. I'm helping people that are sick or hurt in all of Runeterra. There are only a few places that I have not yet visited. I've been to Piltover, Shurima, Demacia, Ionia... I've even been to Zaun and Noxus. People all around the world write me, asking me to come to them to help them treating a patient. And I happily do so. I just love seeing the happy faces people make after I helped them.

This is also one of the reasons why Bandle City is never in war with anyone. Everyone knows that they would lose a powerful ally if they attacked us. So I'm one of the reasons why Bandle is as peaceful as it is.

Those are the reasons why I can not simply agree to joining the League. I would not have enough time to help everyone that is in need of my help. And that alone is something that keeps me from accepting the invitation.

I sighed and stood up. I've thought about this way too long again today. I decided to take a quick look in the mirror before deciding that I want to do with the rest of the day. When I looked into it I was greeted with the same clueless face that I've been seeing in there for weeks. I hate that face. It is the same kind of face that I made when I was much younger. It was time where I also did not know what I wanted to do. Then, when the first people came to me and wanted my help, I thought I finally knew what my destiny was. The next time I looked in a mirror the expression of cluelessness was gone and instead there was an expression of confidence. I knew this was what I wanted to do! And thankfully I could do this for a long time without worrying about anything else.

But when I first read the letter my expression changed again, and I hate it! I just want that confident face back.

Suddenly I heard a sound. Someone was knocking on the door. Since my parents weren't home I decided to open it. The other Yordles always find it funny when I tell them that I still live with my parents. But considering that I travel most of the time, it made little sense to me to have a home of my own. Once I opened the door, I saw that the cause of the knocking was a little girl. She looked exhausted and had small tears in her eyes.

„E-excuse me mister... Are you Vait?" I heard the exhaustion out of her voice. It looks like she just ran quite the distance.

„Yep, that's me. Now calm down a little, yes? Is something the matter?" I tried to calm her down before we continued.

„P-please, I need your help! My friend is hurt and he doesn't talk to me and I'm scared and I don't know who else could help me!" I looked at her with a reassuring look.

„Don't worry! I'll quickly get my potions and then you will show me where your friend is, okay?"

She just nodded and then I ran to get a few of my healing potions before I joined her again.

We ran quite the distance before we finally reached our destination. There was a small boy laying on the ground. He didn't move at all so I suspected that he was unconscious. There was blood coming out of his head and there was a rock with some blood on it besides him. I wondered what happened here, but pushed that thought aside. The boy was more important now! First of all I checked if he was still breathing. He did, so I opened one of my potions and poured the contents of it on the injury. It only took a few seconds before the wound closed. I smiled and grabbed the next potion. This time I opened both the potion and the mouth of the boy, because he has to drink this one. After I helped him drinking it, I stood up and looked at the girl.

„Okay, now it should take a few minutes, but then he will wake up and he should feel totally okay!"

„R-really? It is that easy?"

„Yep, but that doesn't mean that this should happen again. Who knows if I am able to help again next time? Now, could you maybe tell me what happened here? I am quite curious."

She looked down ashamed. „I-i don't know..."

„Hey now, you can tell me! I can tell that whatever happened, you didn't want it to happen. So I promise that I won't get mad and that I won't tell anybody else, okay?"

Then she looked up again „Really?"

I just nodded and then she began to talk. „W-well... My friend wants to be one of the scouts when he is old enough... So he asked me if I could help him train a little. He wanted me to throw rocks at him so he could train dodging. It worked for a while, but then he was distracted or something and I hit him straight on the head. I really didn't want this to happen..."

I smiled „Hey now, that's not your fault. But maybe both of you should try using something else if you want to train dodging. Rocks aren't really the safest method."

„Yes, you're right mister Vait... Sorry that I have bothered you..."

„Oh no, you did not bother me. I like helping others, so it's okay!" Right as I said that, the boy slowly opened his eyes and looked around, slightly confused.

„Where am I? What happened?" The girl immediately ran towards him and helped him up.

„Oh Len! I am so happy that you are alright! I accidentally hit you with one of the rocks and then you got unconscious and I didn't know what to do and then I ran to get help from mister Vait and he helped you get better!" He still looked confused and I just laughed a little.

„Haha, maybe you should slow down a little. He doesn't seem to be quite awake yet." The girl suddenly ran back to me and hugged me tightly. It felt a little awkward, but I didn't want to push her away.

„Thank you so so much mister Vait!" She looked at me with a big smile and continued talking „I now know what I want to do when I get bigger! I want to become just like you! I want to help people who need help and I want them to come to me so I can help them! And that's all thanks to you!"

„Hey Nina? Can we go home for now? I'm kinda getting hungry..." The boy was standing by now and looked at the girl

„Sure Len! Let's go!" She walked to him and they started walking away, but then she turned around once more and waved towards me „Thank you again mister Vait! I'll never forget this!"

I stood there for quite a while, even after both of them were gone. I was very surprised by the words of the girl. Did I really... Inspire her?

I think I did... And then it suddenly hit me! I inspired her! Yes, that's it!

I ran back to my home, almost as quick as I ran with the girl to her friend.

When I reached it, I immediately went to my room to read the letter one last time. I know that this is the last time because I now know what I have to do!

„Yes, that's it! I finally know what I'll do!" I looked in the mirror... The face filled with confidence was finally back. And I couldn't be happier.

Thanks once more for reading this far! I really appreciate it! And special thanks goes to HeartRemedy who helped me with this story. I probably wouldn't have uploaded it without him! (Go check him out! He writes amazing stories!)

I know this chapter was not the most exciting, but I do hope that this will change in the next few chapters.

Have a good day, friends!
