***AUTHOR'S NOTE***
Hey guys, HoneyBadgerDC here! I am so excited about this new series, which is a spin-off of 'Adventures'. This took a lot of effort and imagination to write, and I really hope you enjoy it!
Btw, the first part is from chapter 17 of Adventures, but deal with me please, I didn't want to leave newcomers out of the loop. For those of you that have not read 'Adventures', this character, Serylda, is the daughter of the main character, Summoner Jay Badger, and Sejuani. Serylda just turned twenty, and hasn't met her father before, except for when she was first born.
Thanks for checking it out! REVIEW AND FOLLOW AND WHAT NOT! This chapter is kinda sad, but it's important to tie everything back together.
I hope you enjoy!
-HoneyBadgerDC

Serylda shivered, she had been raised in the cold, but this was unlike anything she had ever done before.

She thought back to the conversation she had had with her mother only this morning.

All her life, she had been lead to believe that she had been given to her mother as a gift from the Freljord, a mystical child birthed by the woman destined to rule, and fathered by the northern winds and frozen tundra.

She bit her lip, she always did this when she was agitated.

She raised her hand to the wooden door, it was shaking.

"Get a hold of yourself, you've killed ursine rogues unarmed, you've slain Ice Wyverns with nothing but a shield, you can do this" She scolded herself.

She knocked, weakly at first, but then louder.

"Coming!" a strange, accented voice called.

Serylda watched as the door opened, and a tall, thin, dark haired woman came into view.

She looked like she was in her early 30's, though Serylda knew this wasn't the case.

"The miracles of vigorous workouts and a touch of make up here and there" Her mother always said.

"Uh, Hi" Serylda greeted her, bowing her head, "Are you Mrs. Fiora?"

The woman looked her over for a second, silent.
Finally, after a minute, she smiled.

"Yes, I'm Fiora, you must be Serylda. Sejuani told me you were coming" Fiora chimed.

"Mom actually gave notice? Wow, she must be changing in her old age" Serylda laughed.

"Your mother is two years younger then me" Fiora said, narrowing her eyes.

Serylda's eyes widened and she gulped.
She relaxed, however, when Fiora laughed.

"Aha, don't worry sweetie, my kids say the same things about me all the time" Fiora said, grinning.

She then opened the door wider.

"Come in, please, Jay- Summoner Badger, is in the backyard" She said, quietly.

Serylda nodded, and walked inside.

She looked around the house, it was nicely sized.

The walls were a tan color, and there were hextech light bulbs everywhere, giving the interior a bright, cosy atmosphere.

She followed Fiora, she couldn't help but notice how well shaped the woman was.

"Wow, no surprise this was the woman that cost mom a tooth" She thought aloud.

"Your mom broke my jaw with that punch, I went to the hospital immediately after that happened. To be honest, I didn't even think I hurt her, the fact that I got a tooth brings me so much pleasure" Fiora replied, not turning around.

Serylda couldn't see it, but Fiora was grinning.

Finally, they came to the back exit, and Fiora opened the door.

Serylda stepped outside, they were in a decently sized, fenced in backyard, in it was a swing-set that looked like it hadn't been used in years, a hammock, and medium sized shed.

"He's in there, I'll uh... I'll leave you alone." Fiora said, and walked back inside the house, closing the door behind her.

Serylda shuddered again, but placed her right foot in front of her.

Her feet felt like lead, but she pressed on.

She couldn't help but notice how different this little suburban area was from where she grew up.

She smiled as she felt the grass brush against her ankles, while she enjoyed her palace back in the Freljord, she also liked the places where the weather was warmer.

As she walked up to the shed, a sense of dread seized her.

"What if he doesn't believe me? What if he doesn't like me? What if he's mean?" She wondered, her mother hadn't said anything about her father, with the exception that he apparently was really good in bed.

Serylda gagged at the thought of her mother sleeping with someone.

She raised her hand to knock on the shed, she felt tremendous force in her knuckles, as though someone was trying to stop her.

Pushing through it, she knocked, hard.

"Yeaaa hello? Fiora?" She heard a deep, masculine voice ask.

"Uhm, no, I'm not Fiora" Serylda replied, worriedly.

"If you're not Fiora, who are you? If that's you playing a prank on me, Esmerelda, I am going to force you to watch old League matches with me" the voice chuckled.

Serylda smiled, the League's organization system had completely changed, they were barely even needed anymore.

After the Void invasion, the various city states had formed an alliance, on the off chance that outside forces came again, they would be ready.
Demacia and Noxus, two cities who absolutely detested eachother years ago, were now the best of allies and trade partners.

"Alright, I'm coming" The voice said.

She heard various objects being moved and put down, as well as something glass break.

She giggled slightly when she heard a quiet "Shit... this is why I shouldn't own a fish...".

She stepped back when she heard the latch on the door shift, and watched in anticipation as it opened.

A large cloud of saw dust spilled out, hiding the figure from her sight.

When it cleared a little, however, she gasped.

Before her stood a massively tall man of middle age. He had long, brown, spiky hair that fell to his shoulders.

He was dressed in a collared polo shirt, with tan slacks and was wearing brown dockers. His face was partially obscured by a mustache, and short beard, although she could see his temples, his eye brows, and his eyes.

She gasped when she saw his eyes, specifically, his left eye.
His pupil was slightly distorted, just like her own.

The dust finally cleared, and she watched as his eyes fell upon her.

She saw them widen, she inhaled sharply, "Moment of truth" she thought.

Summoner Jay Badger looked down at the young woman in front of him, she was beautiful.

She was dressed in an outfit he hadn't seen in a very long time, it's original wearer had long since swapped to wearing heavy armor.

As he moved up from her feet to her face, he couldn't help but notice how well developed her body was. Between prominent abdominal muscles, strong arms, and (He's still Badger) large breasts, there was nothing more obvious, this was Sejuani's daughter.

"Serylda!" He said, happily, "I haven't seen you since you were a little girl, how are you-"

He stopped speaking when he got to her face.

She had a fierce stare, and lightly shaded pink lips. Her skin was of an olive-complexion. and her silver hair flowed out from under her helmet.

What caused his loss of words, however, was her left eye.

It's pupil was slightly distorted, making it larger then her right eye's. A small black trickle ran from it to the base of her eye.

"Uhm.. Hi.." She whispered.

Serylda looked up at the man in front of her, unsure as to what to say.

She wasn't sure what caused his lapse in words, or why he was just staring at her like this.

"Uhm.. Hi.." She whispered.

She watched, amazed, as a tear left his eye.

"I'm not really sure how to tell you this, but... apparently, according to my mother, you're my father... I'm your daughter." She managed to say.

She saw his lip tremble.

What happened next caught her completely by surprise.

He loomed over her, his visage intense.

He moved close to her, and embraced her in his arms.

She felt tears well on the edges of her eyes as she hugged him back.

She silently thanked her namesake for this.

She felt him pull back, and looked up at him.

His large, green eyes had water streaming from them, there was a goofy smile on his face.

He placed his hand on her cheek, she was surprised by it's warmth.

"Heh." He chuckled, then choked on a sob, "Heh, heh" He said, and hugged her again.

He held her close to him for a minute, rubbing his hands on her back.

"Serylda..." He whispered.

"D.. Dad..." She whimpered.

He held her out by her shoulders, smiling.

"You're the spitting image of your mother" He said, grinning ear to ear.

"Mom told me today that I look like you" She replied, smiling back.

"Well, no wonder you're gorgeous!" He responded, laughing.

She giggled, they both still had tears coming out of their eyes.

"I'd like to spend some time with you" He said, warmly.

"I'd like that too, Serylda week has just started, would you like to visit the Winter's Claw's camp? Mom asked me to ask you to come." She said.

Her father smiled, "I'd like that, the last time I went to Sejuani's camp was the day you were born, it was a really great time."

He snapped his fingers, and a portal opened a few feet away from them.

"Wow, that's impressive" She said.

"Perks of being a master summoner" He replied, smiling.

Taking her hand, they began to walk into the portal.

"Wait, is Fiora okay with this?" Serylda asked.

"Don't really care, I know she trusts me. Perks of being an honest, faithful husband" He replied, his smile getting bigger.

Serylda smiled, her family was going to be together after all this time.

Serylda exited the portal, and was surprised when she looked around.

She was back home, at the Winter's Claw camp.

Around her, people were singing, dancing, drinking, eating and being merry.

The second they saw her, however, they stopped what they were doing, and cheered.

"Now, Now, no applause, no applause! I'm not that great! Just throw money!" Badger yelled, cheerily, throwing his arms in the air.

The citizens laughed at Badger's joke, and returned to what they were doing.

Serylda looked at her father, he had an enormous grin on his face.

She hadn't even known he had been here before, and he looked like he was right at home.

"Hey, Olaf! Been awhile! Still haven't died yet, huh?" Badger asked the warrior as he walked by.

"It has been indeed! I also did in fact die, But Soraka revived me! I was so angry, but then I realized that I did in fact die a glorious death! I'm now over that craze, I look forward to sharing the story with you later, Badger!" Olaf replied, puffing his chest.

"I'll hold you to it, buddy" Badger said, smiling.

Serylda looked at him, bewildered.

They continued to walk, until they heard the roar.

"ROAARRRR!"

The crowd went silent.

Serylda looked around, fearful for attack, she hadn't heard a sound like that since she fought an ursine.

After a second, she saw what made the sound, it was rushing towards them.

"Don't be afraid, Dad, it's just Volibe-" She trailed off as she saw a mischievous smile appear on his face, and watched in awe as he bolted towards the bear.

Volibear jumped off the ground, his arm and paw outstretched, his fangs bared.

She saw blue magic appear in Badger's hands as he leapt into the air.

Her eyes widened when his right hand met Volibear's, the force of their blows creating a wind wave, and a thunderous BOOM.

The snow around them went flying, blurring vision for a moment.

When it settled, however, Serylda thought her eyes were going to pop out of her head.
"Best high five yet, Voli!" Badger said, shaking the Ursine's paw.

"I disagree, it was second best! The best was when we ran from opposite ends of Runeterra and met!" Volibear roared.

"You actually ran that far? Dude, I walked twenty feet to the bar at the corner, and waited for you to show up!" Badger replied, grinning.

The two laughed heavily.

Serylda smiled as she saw Volibear embrace her father.

"I have missed you, my friend" Volibear rumbled.

"I've missed you too, buddy! We gotta get drinks soon!" Badger said, his grin growing wider.

Volibear smiled, and nodded.

"But you're paying!" Badger continued.

"I'm a bear! I have no money!" Volibear responded, laughing heartily.

Serylda thought her dad was going to cry, he laughed so hard.

"Anyways, I'm going to see Sejuani, I'll catch up with you later, Voli" Badger said.

"Sounds like a plan, Summoner Badger." Volibear replied, and walked off.

Badger walked back to Serylda's side, he was grinning heavily through his beard.

"You know Volibear?' Serylda asked, stunned.

"Yup, he and I used to be League partners, back before the champions were digitized." Badger answered.

Serylda nodded, Jayce and Heimerdinger, two of Valoran's brightest minds, had created a machine several years ago that made it so that champions no longer had to be summoned.

Summoners could just put special helmets on their head, and control digital champions from there. This was done due to many League champions growing bored with the political issues, as well as many complaining about phantom pains.

"Shall we continue?" Badger asked.

Serylda nodded again, and lead him on.

Serylda looked up at the familiar palace gate, carved into the ice.

Badger looked up at it, stunned, he hadn't seen this before.

"Sejuani's been busy" He whispered.

Serylda smiled, "You have no idea" She said, lead him further..

She stopped in front of the entrance, and greeted the guard.
"One moment, I need to go speak with my mother before you enter" She said, and walked inside.

Badger watched her go, and watched the guard's head turn to follow her.
He glared at the guy, he knew that look, he had given it to many women during his younger days.

"Eyes straight, buddy" He said.

The Guard turned to him, and laughed.

"Come on, let me have a little view, I'm stuck here half the day" He joked.

Badger rolled his eyes, irritating the guard.
"Don't roll your eyes at me, old man" The guard growled.

Badger smiled, and uttered several incantations.

He snapped his fingers, causing the Baron Nashor from Summoner's Rift to appear before him.

"REEEAAAAAAHKKK!" It roared.

The guard cried out in terror, and ran down in the road.

Badger snapped his fingers again, the Baron disappeared.

"They always fall for that." He mused as Serylda came back out.

"Come on!" She yelled, grabbing his hand, "Mom is really excited to see you!"
Badger grinned.

They entered into a large corridor, massive pillars of ice holding the ceiling up.

Badger smiled when he saw the figure sitting at the end of the enormous hall.

She was dressed in various furs, and wore dark blue armor on her shoulders, chest, arms, abdomen, and legs.

Her helmet now had two horns, her old one now rested atop Serylda's head.

Badger smile grew larger when his eyes came to her face.

Her chin-length silver hair stuck out slightly from under her helmet, it gleamed in the rays of light that shined down on her.

They had continued to walk while he looked her over, and were finally only a few feet away when his eyes met hers.

His green eyes stared into her icy blue ones, she returned his gaze.

"Summoner Jay Badger." Sejuani greeted him.

"Queen Sejuani." He replied, smiling warmly.

"It's been awhile" She said.

"Six years, if I'm correct, and even then, that was only for two hours." He answered.

"And what a magnificent two hours it was..." She mused.

"MOM!" Serylda cried, embarrassed.

"What?! Our old friend group met up!" Sejuani yelled.

"Well, some of us did..." Badger corrected her.

"Mmm.. You, Diana, Fiora and I..." She purred.

"MOM!"

"Chill out Serylda! We got some food and talked!"

"It was hard to talk, your mouth was pretty full."

"DAD!"

"What?! We had pizza! Your mum loves pizza!"

"I'm a pizza whore" Sejuani agreed.

"Not just for pizza." Badger cooed.

"OH MY GOD I'M LEAVING!" Serylda cried, and walked out.

"Good! Bring us back some snacks, preferably something that includes tomato sauce, bread, and cheese!" Sejuani shouted, hungrily.

She and Badger laughed as she left the room.

"It's so good to see you!" Badger yelled, stretching his arms wide.

She leapt from her throne and jumped into his grasp. He grabbed her and spun her around.

"I've missed us spending time together! I haven't heard the term 'Auntie Sejuani', in almost 10 years!" She laughed.

He held her at arms length.

"Sejuani, you haven't aged a day! You look amazing!" He said, his smile broad.

"You too! I expected you to look like Ryze! But wow, I like the beard!" She replied.

"Well after you have kids, you stop caring about facial hair" He mused.

"Lucky for you, men have it easy" Sejuani teased.

They went quiet for a moment.
Badger looked at her face, studying every feature.

"Your Daughter looks exactly like you" He whispered.

"Our Daughter looks like me..." She corrected him, her tone changing.

Badger sighed, time to get the elephant out of the room.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked.

"Tell you what?"

"Sejuani..."

She turned away from him, "You won't like the answer" She said, sadly.

"I think I deserve one, after twenty years without knowing" He responded.

Sejuani looked back at him, she seemed both sad and angry.
"What do you deserve, Badger? I'm the one who raised her, I'm the one who taught her everything she knows, what exactly do you deserve?" She growled.

"Don't attack me here, Sej, you're the one who didn't tell me the truth!" He yelled.

"That wasn't my fault!" She barked.

"Whose was it then? Because it sure as hell wasn't mine! I gave you warning that day, but what was the line? "DO IT OR I'LL CUT YOUR FUCKING BALLS OFF"?, was that the line you said?"

"I was caught up in the lust of the moment!"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I HAD A DAUGHTER?!"

"BECAUSE FIORA TOLD ME NOT TO!"
Badger stepped back, stunned.

"Fuck." Sejuani growled.

"Fiora... Fiora knew?" He asked.

She sighed, and motioned for him to sit down.

He snapped his fingers, and two chairs appeared, facing one another.

"Do you remember the day that I first said I wanted to be called 'Auntie Sejuani'?" She asked.

"Yeah, I remember you kidnapping Esmerelda and taking off on Bristle, how is he by the way?"

"Bristle's a fat piggy, he's getting older now" She replied, "But that's not the point. That day, I told Fiora I was pregnant with your child, the girl you know as Serylda. Fiora and I agreed not to tell you..." She said, sadly.

"Why? Why would you not say anything? You've never cared about what anyone else's opinion before, why would you go along with Fiora's idea?" He inquired.

She smiled sadly, "Because with all the shit you had been through at the time, the last thing you needed was something else to trouble you and... with your marriage still being new, and you having the twins, you were so happy... I couldn't do anything to hurt that."

"Sejuani..."

Serylda entered the room again quietly, but quickly hid herself when she heard her parents talking.
she watched from the shadows as the two embraced.

Sejuani held Badger close, he returned her hold.

"Jay... I have a question to ask you, I want to know... Twenty years ago, if Fiora hadn't been pregnant, if I had told you everything, would you have come with me?"

Badger looked at her, sadly.

"Sejuani, you know I can't answer that question, because no matter the answer, everyone would be hurt" He replied.

"I know... I'm sorry... I just..."

She buried her head in his chest, shaking all over.

Serylda watched, amazed, as her mother trembled, she had never once in her life seen her mother cry.

She was also surprised at how Sejuani was acting, she had never seen her mum show this much affection to a man before.

"Jay, I don't think I've told you this before, but I was, am, in love with you..." Sejuani whimpered, "I've always loved you, I've never stopped".

She opened her eyes wide when he kissed her, his warm lips meeting hers.

She closed her eyes, and smiled, memories of the past flooding to her.

Just as she was getting into it, however, he broke it off.

"Don't stop..." She whispered.

"I have too, I'm sorry." He replied.

"Why?"
"I won't lie to you Sejuani, I've been in love with you for years as well, I originally thought it was Nocturne, and then I thought it was just sex, but I honestly feel a strong emotional love for you. If I start now... I won't be able to stop. I'm sorry, though, because as much as I love you, Fiora is my love, she is my everything... she got in my heart first." He said, sorrowfully.

"She doesn't have to be those things... you could stay here, with me, we could close off our connections to the outside world, you could drink and tear up the town with Olaf and Volibear, you and I could spend the rest of our lives together, you could make up for all that lost time with Serylda, you could..." Sejuani's words were starting to fade out as her lip trembled.

Badger wrapped his arms around her tighter, holding her as close as possible.

"I'm sorry." He whispered as she sobbed.

Serylda felt tears stream down her face, her mother seemed so pained, her father so compassionate.

She couldn't help but wonder what these two were like all those years ago, her mom in her prime, (though according to Sejuani, she was in her prime every day, even when giving birth).

She watched with pity as Badger separated himself from her, and walked a few feet away.

"Are you going?" Sejuani asked, dignified, sniffling and wiping the tears from her eyes.

"For a little bit, I will be back soon, but there is something I have to deal with." He replied, not looking at her.

Serylda watched as Badger disappeared in a flash of light, leaving her mother alone.
She watched in sadness as her mom buried her face in her hands, her body trembling.

"Mom..." She said, walking over.
Sejuani didn't look at her, but kept her face down.

"Go away, Serylda" She said, pained.

Serylda ignored her, and hugged her.

"I don't want you to see me like this, weak, broken, hurt. These are things I've taught you to never show anyone. Please let me wallow in my own misery." Her mother continued.

Serylda ignored her, strengthening her embrace.

"You're not weak, Mom, you're stronger then anyone, allowing yourself to be sad isn't a weakness, it's a strength, it's what separates us from beasts" Serylda cooed.

"You've been spending too much time with Udyr." Sejuani chuckled through her tears.
Serylda smiled, and held her mother closer.

The two remained still like that for a minute, not knowing that Badger was watching the whole time.

He sighed, and silently teleported away.

Badger reappeared in his backyard, he hadn't even realized it, but he had been gone for sometime.

Walking in his house, he could smell food.

Making a right at the door, he moved into his dining room.

Fiora sat at their table, chatting idly with Esmerelda and Jason.

"Jay, welcome back, you've been gone for hours!" Fiora greeted him.

He glared at her.

"Jason, Esmerelda, could you please give your mother and I a minute?" He asked, though they could sense the agitation in his voice.

"Uh, sure dad" His son replied.

"Okay, I was about to go anyways, I'm going to Fang's block party, is that okay Dad?"

"Good idea, Jason, go with her."

"But I was going to-"
Badger smacked his hand down on the table.
"GO WITH YOUR SISTER, NOW." He roared.

They looked at him, shocked, and quickly left the room.

Fiora looked up at him, for the first time in her life, she was actually scared of him.

"Why?" He asked, seething.

She sighed, and picked up a napkin, wiping her mouth slowly.

He slammed his palm on the table again, causing several dishes to smash.

"GOD DAMNET FIORA, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I HAD A DAUGHTER WITH SEJUANI?!" He screamed.

"You're shouting." She replied, sarcastically.

"You're damn right I'm shouting! Do you have any idea how batshit furious I am right now? I just had to console Sejuani and try to begin learning about my daughter!" He cried.

"She's not your daughter, Esmerelda is, that girl is nothing but a mistake you made, a stupid mistake you made when you were young and foolish." Fiora retorted.

Badger looked at her, his eyes narrowed, he looked pained.

"Who are you? Do you hear yourself right now?" He asked.

"I'm your wife! Your wife who gave you two beautiful children! Your wife who indulged in all sorts of stupid activities with you and your friends! Your wife who let you fuck some slut from the Freljord after you cheated on me with her! Your wife who gave up her status as a Demacian Noble to marry a low class Summoner!" She barked.

She covered her mouth, she hadn't meant to say that.

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean that" She whispered.

He glared at her, his anger rising.

"Yes you did, you meant every word of that! May I point out, Mrs. Perfect, that you didn't give anything up? I come from an insanely rich family, I'm also one of the strongest Summoners alive today! We aren't low class, we're top of the line! I'd also like to say that you cheated on me with an ACTUAL slut with nine tails! May I also point out that our little party before the wedding was YOUR idea?! And, by the way, THEY ARE YOUR FRIENDS TOO. That girl is not a mistake, no child is, there is a reason why she was born, while I may not have intended to bring another child into this world, that girl is still my daughter, and how dare you refer to her as anything but! Now, I ask again, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I HAD A DAUGHTER?!"

She looked at him, "Isn't our family good enough for you? Why do you need another one?"

Badger twitched, "Oh my fucking god, Fiora, just answer the god damn question!".

"I didn't tell you because at the time, I didn't think you could handle the stress of it!" She shouted, angrily.

He continued his angry glare.

Her face softened, and she looked at him pitifully, "Then, after years of you not knowing about it, I didn't think it was that big a deal. You, the kids and I were all happy, we had no worries, why introduce something negative? Everything was happy. Then, today, Sejuani tells me that it's time. I protested, but she was adamant. I never expected her to tell you that I knew, however..."

"Fiora, I don't believe that's your reasoning, you know I'm stronger then that" He replied.
Tears streamed down her face, "I don't want to talk about this anymore" She murmured.

"No, we're talking about this now, I want to hear your real reasons for not telling me" He responded, calming down.

As angry as he was with her, he hated the sight of his love crying.

Before he could react, she jumped on him, tackling him to the floor.

He looked up at her, she looked down at him, her lip trembled.

"I... I was afraid... for my own happiness" She admitted, guiltily.

"Why? Why would that have affected you at all? It just would've meant a few extra trips to the Freljord for me" He replied.

"When I spoke to Sejuani after knocking you out that day, she told me that the only reason you asked me to marry you was because I was pregnant, she claimed that, if I hadn't been, you would've gone with her. I'm not going to lie, I had been thinking of that myself, wondering if that was part of it..." Her eyes welled up with tears again, she hugged herself closer to him, "I was afraid that you'd pick her over me, I was terrified that if you found out you were having a daughter with Sejuani, that our family would be over before it started..."

"Fiora..." He whispered.

He felt her body shake.

"I'm so sorry Jay, I'm so sorry to have made you this angry, this hurt, to have lied to you, I'm so sorry, but I love you so much I just couldn't risk losing you" She sobbed.

He remained quiet for a moment, his hand on her head, his fingers running through her hair.

After a minute, he spoke, much calmer then before.

"Fiora, you're my eternal love, you're my soulmate, you're my other half, you're the person I love above all others..." He said.

She smiled through teary eyes.

"But this... this has hurt me, deeper then you know, I feel deceived, I've always been honest with you, even when I thought it would cost me you, I was honest. I... I need some time to think..." He continued, getting up.

"Jay, please, let's just... let's just talk and, I don't know, just please don't go" She whimpered.

"I need time to myself, Fiora" He said, walking away.

"I love you..." She whispered.

He didn't respond as he opened a portal to the Freljord again, and disappeared, leaving her to sob on the floor.

Sejuani sighed, she hadn't expected to react like this.

She was laying on her bed in the dark, wearing only a bra and underwear, her armor tossed aside on the floor.

She twitched when she heard a sound to her right.

Grabbing a dagger out from under her pillow, she spoke.

"Whoever's there, show yourself, or get ready to die" She growled.

"Your threats are pretty empty to me, Sejuani" a familiar voice replied.

"Jay..." She whispered.

A candle flickered to life, revealing Summoner Badger to her. He looked angry and upset.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, covering herself with a blanket.

"I told you I'd be back, this just took a little longer then expected" He answered.
She sighed again, and placed the knife on her bedside table.

"You know sneaking up on me is a bad idea, right?" She inquired.

"Whatever. You're going to sleep early, I remember you used to be the party-all-night person in our group, It's only 6:30"

"I'm tired today, it's been a long one."

"I hear that."

"Where did you disappear to?" She asked.

"I went to talk to Fiora" He growled.

"Oh..."

"Yeah, didn't end well, I don't think I've ever been this angry at her. I mean, how could she not tell me this? After all this time, how could she keep this to herself? What else is she keeping from me?" He asked, sorrowfully.

He looked at her.

"You were the victim in this, Sej, this was completely unfair to you, it was unfair to me, but you were the most affected" He said.

"No, I wasn't, Serylda was."

She jumped slightly when he punched the wall.

"Damnet! My daughter is twenty years old, and I don't know a thing about her! Fiora has robbed me!" He yelled, angrily.

"I wouldn't have done that, in her place, I would have told you... I only didn't tell you because I didn't think you'd be happy with it..." Sejuani whispered.

Without replying, he lay down next to her.

He pressed his hand on her cheek, and looked into her eyes.

"Jay..." she whispered as she kissed him.

He didn't return it, but continued looking into her eyes.

She retreated, slightly, hurt.

She was then shocked when he pulled her to him, his lips locking with hers.

"I would've given everything for this..." She thought as he ran his hands over her body.

As she kissed him, it occurred to her that he both tasted and smelled strongly of alcohol.

"Jay, you're drunk" She said, pulling back.

"No, I'm not" He replied, moving towards her again.

She returned his kiss, but then pulled back, father then before.

"What you're doing right now, hurts more then everything else..." She said.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"You're drunk, it's the only reason you're doing this. We both know that tomorrow you'll regret everything, and we'll have a repeat of what happened years ago, only this time we won't have Nocturne as a scapegoat."

"Sejuani... I'm not doing this because I'm drunk, I'm doing it because I love you..."

She smacked him hard, there were tears in her eyes.

"I want to believe that, you have no idea how much I want to believe that. I want to hold you and kiss you and make love to you, I want you to stay here with Serylda and I forever, but I know that you love Fiora more then I. I know that you'll be miserable in the morning and then break your back to make it up to that stuck up snob. I know that you won't stay with me, I know that it will only result in more alienation. So please, please just stop." She whimpered, she was trembling.

He looked at her, and nodded.

He got up, and began to walk out.

"But you don't have to leave, please just stay with me... even if it's for five minutes or five years, just please stay..." she whispered.

He turned to her, and nodded again.

Getting back on the bed, he put his arm around her, holding her close.
"Tell me about our daughter" He asked.

She smiled sadly, taking his hand in her own.

"Well for one, while she looks like me, she has your personality..."

Serylda yawned, it was almost 2 AM in the morning.

She had been out and about, drinking and dancing with friends, engaging in bar fights, kicking ass and taking names, this was her favorite time of the year.

As she turned the corner in the small hallway to her room, she paused.

The light was on.

She quietly opened the door, and peered inside.

In it was her newly found father.

She blushed when she saw what was in his hands, a small, stuffed animal version of her mother's boar, Bristle. She had owned it since she was an infant, and still slept with it. It was comforting to her.

She smiled in remembrance at the time in her childhood that her friend, Volstagg, the son of Ashe, had taken it and made fun of her for it.

She had beaten the snot out of him, taken her toy back, and then proceeded to call him a wimp.

"Nowadays the perv just goes for whatever part of me he can reach" She growled.

She smiled, slightly, Volstagg was an idiot, but he had always been a loyal friend. Besides, it was kinda nice to have a guy after her, even if he was stupid.

She continued to watch her father for a minute.

He seemed lost in thought, holding the toy in his hands.

It took her a second to realize that he was crying.

"Uhm... Dad?" She asked, walking into the room.

"Oh, Serylda, I'm sorry, I uh... I was looking for you and found this room, I only meant to stay a minute, but..." He fumbled on his words.

"It's okay, I just got back from some partying" She said, smiling.

He wiped his eyes on his sleeve, "Serylda week is a lot of fun, my friends and I used to come here every year for it." He replied.

"So, why are you holding Mr. Piggles?" She asked, gently taking the stuffed animal from his hands.

He laughed a little at the name, "Because I haven't seen this toy in twenty years" He answered.

"What?"

"I made this for you, as a present to your mom. This is made out of Bristle's soft undercoat. My friend Genesis and I brushed him for a good three hours to get the amount of hair we needed. He was not a pleasant piggy either, he tried to eat Genesis! It was hilarious, albeit terrifying!" He chuckled.

Serylda's eyes widened, her beloved toy had been a gift from her father?

He chuckled again, tears were in his eyes once more as he began to speak.

"I've missed so much of your life, I never got to take you to school, or play dress up, or chew you out for spending too much time with a boy, or do any of the things a dad is supposed to do" He said, sadly.

"Well, you didn't miss that much. I was homeschooled, the only dress up I played was with armor, and, believe it or not, the only boy I hang out with is a total moron, I only spend time with him because it's a good way to keep the peace in Freljord" She replied.

"And the fact that he's cute enough to get attention isn't bad either" She thought.

"Haha, you're definitely Sejuani's daughter alright" He responded.

She sat on her bed, he followed.

"Serylda" He said, quietly.

"Yeah?"

"Tell me about yourself, your life" He requested.

"That'll take awhile"

"I've got all the time in the world".

She smiled.
She placed a pillow on his lap, and lay down.

"Well, I just turned twenty, I'm really popular around town, and I've already killed three Ice Wyverns" She began.

"Three? Your mother and I barely managed to kill one together!" He replied, excitedly.

"That's because mom doesn't understand that you aren't supposed to fight them head on, you've gotta use stealth."

"Your mother doesn't know the meaning of 'stealth'" He chuckled.

She laughed, and continued.

Sejuani woke up, and looked around.

Jay was gone, a small indent on the sheets marking where he had been.

She looked to her right, the rays of daylight were shining in.

She got out of bed and threw on a robe, she didn't really care about looking lazy, the only people who would see her were Serylda and, if he was still here, Jay.

Walking to Serylda's room, she knocked on the door.

No response.

"Serylda?" She called.

No response.

She cracked the door open, and peered inside.

At the sight she took in, the biggest grin crossed her face.

Badger was laying on the bed, sleeping. A story book was held loosely in his right hand, his left arm was wrapped around Serylda's shoulders, with his hand resting on her head. Serylda was also passed out, her arm around her father, a smile was on her face.

Sejuani smiled, and quietly closed the door.
