Hello.
This is a story I came up once. So after finishing my first period's tests, I decided to write everything down before I forget.
Anyways, this is a story about Diana, The Scorn of the Moon and Darius, The Hand of Noxus and their relationship. Of course, this is all made up by me.
I haven't really read Darius's lore that carefully, so he might appeal with a higher/lower rank in this story. Same with Diana.
This isn't my first fanfiction, however, so I respect all critisism.
Lastly, this isn't for too young kids. It was war-related things, drama and adult-romance. So read with caution.
Please review to give me feedback/your opinions!
Chapter One
The moon was full that night. Its bright yet soft light lit up the dark sky, reflecting on the nature, bringing out the figures of the night. Out of the figures of trees and bushes, there was also a silhouette of a young woman.
She was facing towards the moon, armour shining slightly. She held her weapon in front of her, its tip stuck on the ground. She slowly kneeled, bowing her head and closing her eyes.
A quiet melody came out of her lips, filling the night with her voice.
It was a song that her mother used to sing to her, when she was younger.
Her mother sang this, to remind her of the powers of the moon, and the true side of the sun:
"Ask not the sun why she sets
Why she shrouds her light away
Or why she hides her glowing gaze
When night turns crimson gold to grey
For silent falls the guilty sun
As day to dark does turn
One simple truth she dare not speak:
Her light can only blind and burn
No mercy for the guilty
Bring down their lying sun
Blood so silver black by night
Upon their faces pale white
Cruel moon, bring the end
The dawn will never rise again..."
She exhaled and opened her eyes, turning her head upwards, looking at the moon. Her face, as pale as the lunar light, showed no emotion of any sort.
Suddenly, the woman flinched. She quickly got up, took a fighting stance and landed a crescent strike into the bushes. A loud and grunt was heard.
"Who dares to sneak upon me?!" the woman shouted, not taking her eyes of the white dust that remained on the intruder.
The person got up, revealing himself completely. He was very tall, his muscles reflected from the moonlight and his armour seemed heavy and thick.
The woman felt her knees go weak. She has encountered the same person on the fields of justice before, and her experiences were fatal.
Immediately, she dropped her weapon and bowed.
"I-I'm sorry, Hand of Noxus, I didn't recon it was you, sir." She said.
Even though she didn't really side with Noxus, she still had very high respect to its war-leader. The last thing she wanted was him to get angry.
"No need to apologize, or bow." He said, pointing her to get on her feet.
She stood up, her heart beating normally, again.
It took a moment for her to realize that he didn't have his axe with him.
"If I may ask, sir-" she started.
"You can call me by my name, Darius." He interupped."
"If I may ask...Darius, why are you here, unarmed?" Her voice showed a hint of confusion.
He smiled slightly, making her even more confused.
"To hear the voice that I love so much, Scorn of the Moon..." he replied.
Her eyes widened and her mouth gaped a bit. Her mind was struggling, as to why such a person would ever sneak out to listen her sing.
Seeing that she was having trouble with thinking, he explained.
"One night, when it was full moon, I was coming home from a long battle. I was so exhausted, that I stopped walking at rested, taking a seat next to a tree. I heard a beautiful voice, singing a melody just as beautiful. Suddenly, I felt as if my wounds had healed, 'cause I had all of my strength back. I stood up and followed the voice, which lead to you. Ever since that night, I've been coming here every full moon, to listen to your song."
He slowly moved closer to her, his faint smile not leaving.
Her mind was still puzzled. She could feel her heart start to beat faster and her face heat up. She started to shake.
"I-I...I don't know what to say..." she muttered, their eyes meeting.
"You don't have to, Diana." He said, putting his hand on her cheek.
Diana's own hands softly held onto his. A tear fell down her awed face. Darius wiped it off with his finger.
They stayed like that for quite a while, their eyes never leaving eachother.
Darius's strong arms wrapped around Diana, pulling her close. She didn't hold back, wrapping her own arms around him, aswell. They hugged.
"I only wish that I knew that earlier..." she whispered.
Darius kissed Diana's forehead, making her feel as light as a feather.
"Will you keep singing that song, for me?" he asked.
"Yes, with all my heart... And whenever you want me to." She said.
"I'm not asking you that," he said, chuckling lightly. "But I am asking you another thing..."
She nodded, so that he could continue.
"Would you like to join Noxus, and fight by my side?"
"Yes, I would." She replied with a faint grin.
Fighting my his side had been one of her dreams, anyways. But now that she's found out his little secret, she doesn't wish for anything more.
They smiled and tightened their grip.
The two figures held each other through the star-filled night.
To be continued...
