Shen approached the council. A group that made up the high ranking summoners of the League, those who ran the Institute of War. His pace was quick, though he was not particularly excited or overjoyed to be getting a request from the League, it was his duty, and he fulfilled his duties without question.
"Greetings Shen, we're glad you made it on such short notice." One of the summoners echoed.
"Let us be swift in our meeting, elders. I prefer to not waste time on common courtesies." Shen replied, he never was one for small talk. It was not out of rudeness, rather the fact that he felt that time wasted on pointless conversation was time that could be used to complete his objective more swiftly; therefore, more efficiently. However, Shen was not aware that the task ahead was far more delicate than anything he had previously tackled. This mission would take time, effort, and patience.
"If that is how you would have it, then let us cut to the chase. I'm sure you're familiar with one of our more recent additions to the League, Ahri. Would I be correct in assuming this?" The elder said, with a clear sense of concern in his voice.
"Yes, I know of her. She has indeed made quite the reputation for herself in the short time she has been with us. What matter is she that you need me to get involved though?" Shen said, clearly questioning in what way this fox was related to him.
"I will not sugar coat this. She has been troublesome to us. Seducing summoners and champions alike, causing civil war amongst those who roam these halls. She must be put to a stop, her rampage has caused enough internal damage to the League." The elder was at this point speaking in an assertive tone, serious about the matter at hand.
"So? You want me to deal with her? There is a catch though, I'm quite sure of it." Shen said.
"Yes indeed, this will be a time consuming mission for you, Shen. You are to escort Ahri around, you must not lose sight of her, make sure to keep her tame. You are the only one we could think of who would not fall victim to her wiles." The elder began rubbing his temples, his head pounding from the trouble caused by a single woman.
Without even acknowledging that he accepted the terms of his assignment, Shen disappeared from the room without a sound. Somehow though, the elders knew he would pull through.
