Sorry this took a while, been really busy getting everything ready for finals and moving back home from Campus. Anyway, here is Quinn's
Chapter 1
She was sleeping peacefully, the dawn hadn't quite yet broken over the trees…when something fluffy sat on her face. Seluna Rossignol's eyes snapped open just to see a wall of white fur. She gave a laugh and sat up, pulling a small white kitten off of her face.
"Now, Ghost, what have we said about you sitting on people's faces?" she scolded teasingly.
Ghost gave a loud mew and then proceeded to start purring as Seluna scratched under his chin. An indignant hooting sound caught her attention and Seluna looked towards the window at the young owlet sitting on it's perch.
"Good morning to you too, Athena," Seluna smiled, getting out of bed and gently stroking the owlet's feathers, "How's the wing?"
Athena gave a slight ruffle of her feathers, showcasing the bandage across her right wing. Seluna and her sister Evelyn had found Athena lying in a ditch nearly half dead and with a broken wing. They brought her to the vet only to discover that Athena had been shot down by what looked to be a BB pellet and left for dead. Seluna, Evelyn and their parents, Suzette and John, took the little owlet and were nursing her back to health currently.
"Seluna? Are you up?" came her mother's voice.
"I'll be down in a minute, Mom!" Seluna called, getting dressed before walking over to Athena again, putting on a glove and stretching her arm out, "Want to come?"
The owlet gave a slight chirruping sound and hopped onto Seluna's outstretched arm. The young woman gave a smile and began to walk down the stairs, nearly tripping and falling over Ghost and the assorted art materials lining the staircase.
She walked into the living room just to see her mother sitting at the large picture window, painting the sunrise as it began to bloom over the sky.
"What do you think?" she asked, looking at her daughter, revealing the smudges of paint on her face.
"I think your face had a little too much fun with the paint," Seluna grinned, making her mother wipe off the paint…but only smudge it more.
"I meant the painting,"
"It looks good," Seluna told her mother, examining the piece, "Looks almost life-like,"
"Good!" her mother beamed, "Exactly what I was looking for,"
She turned back to her work only to stop and turn towards her daughter again.
"Weren't you and your friends going hiking today?"
"In a couple hours," Seluna dismissed, "Chris and Joy will be here around ten,"
"As long as you're back before dark," her mother told her, "Your father's coming home tonight,"
Seluna gave a bright smile, her father, John, was an engineer and it was rare when he got to be home since he traveled around a lot. But she got to see him, and that's what made her happy.
"I'm going to get ready," she told her mother, "Let me know if you need anything,"
"With your sister at a friend's house, we won't have to worry about getting her up," her mother chuckled, "She's quite the little bear, isn't she?"
"You have no idea," Seluna shuddered before walking back up to her room and getting everything packed for the hiking trip later today.
"You're late," Chris teased as Seluna made her way towards the trailhead, "We almost left without you,"
"Sorry, had to save Ghost from taking a nosedive into the toilet," she started, "He's a curious little bugger,"
"The toilet…seriously?" Chris snorted.
"He snuck in when I was brushing my teeth," Seluna protested.
"Sure, whatever,"
"Come on," Joy tried, "Let's get going before it gets too late. We want to get back before dark, right?"
"Why, you afraid of the dark?" Chris teased waggling his fingers in a spooky manner.
"No," Joy growled, smacking at the offending digits, "But I'd like to see where I'm going,"
"And my dad's coming home tonight," Seluna told him, "Mom wanted me home before dark so I could see him come in,"
"Fine," Chris grumbled, but he gave a wry smile as he playfully tapped Seluna on the shoulder, "You're it! Come get me!"
"Chris!" Seluna groaned, but gave chase, Joy following not far behind.
After a few minutes of chasing the boy, Seluna and Joy managed to catch him, laughing breathlessly as they all plopped down on the ground.
"You'd think I'd learn one of these days not to run with a heavy backpack full of hiking gear," Chris groaned, thunking his head against a tree trunk.
"You got a few minutes to rest," Joy told him, "Then we're going on,"
"Wha…why?!"
"Hey it's your fault for running off," Seluna smirked as Chris glared at her from over the top of his water bottle, "Don't you glare at me, you know you're the one at fault,"
"Free country," Chris mumbled after swallowing, "I can glare at who I want,"
Seluna gave a wry smile as Chris tipped the water bottle upwards…and gave it a gentle tap, making water spill down the front of it and making Chris yell in indignation while Joy and Seluna both started laughing.
After their impromptu break, the trio continued on their hike, trekking up to the vantage point that Joy had found a couple weeks ago and was nearly impossible to get to…hence why all of them had climbing gear in their backpacks.
When they finally reached their destination, they all tiredly set down their backpacks. Chris flopped to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust in his wake and making Joy cough while Seluna walked towards the edge and gazed at the stunning view.
"It's beautiful," she smiled.
"Told you," Joy replied, "I found it not too long ago and I thought you two needed to see this. It's really pretty at sunset,"
"I bet," Seluna nodded, taking out her camera and snapping a picture of the panorama, "Hey, can one of you guys get a picture of me in front of here?"
"Sure," Joy smiled, getting up, "Since Chris is about dead on his feet…"
Said boy let out a groan, making the girls laugh.
Joy took the camera from her friend and steeped back.
"Get as much as the scenery as you can," Seluna instructed.
"You might have to take a little step back," Joy suggested, "Or to the side, I can't get the river behind you,"
Seluna gave a nod and did so. Joy snapped the picture…right as a nasty gust of wind blasted down the mountainside and pushed Seluna, sending her screaming off the edge.
"SELUNA!" Joy shrieked as Chris shot up and over to the edge.
"I'm…I'm ok," Seluna's faint, shaky voice stammered from below them.
The wind had knocked her off the edge she'd been standing on and onto another one, just a bit below.
"O-Ok!?" Chris sputtered, "Seluna…do you not see all that blood?"
He started to climb down, slowly and carefully, until he reached his fallen friend.
"Hey, Joy! Grab the gear and get down here…'specially that first aid kit," he ordered, gently inspecting Seluna without touching her as Joy picked her way down, "Got any gloves?"
"No, but I've got plastic bags…"
"That'll work," Chris nodded as Joy dug through the backpack and pulled out two plastic bags.
The young man put the bags over his hands and carefully examined where the blood was coming from.
"Ah…" Chris blinked, "Seluna…I think your leg's broke,"
"How do you…" Seluna mumbled.
"You think?" Joy demanded, "Chris, she's got bone sticking out of her leg!"
"Ah…ok, ok, so Dad's a medic in the army…he told me what to do…what was it…" Chris mumbled.
"Shouldn't we set the bone?" Joy deadpanned.
"We're not medics," Chris told her, "This isn't the movies, we could seriously hurt her if we tried that. Anyway, let's see…ah…we need to make a tourniquet,"
"How do we…" Joy asked right as Chris pulled out a pocket knife and sawed off part of his shirt before tightly winding the strips around Seluna's leg.
"Now, Joy, I need you to stay with her, keep her awake while I go look for some sticks.
"…Sticks?"
"We need to make a splint so we can get her down the trail," Chris told her, "She's lost a lot of blood…if she goes to sleep, she might not wake up,"
"I'll keep her awake,"
Chris dashed off and Seluna weakly turned her head towards Joy.
"He's…acting really mature,"
"Well…you are hurt," Joy told her, "I've heard a lot of people do that when that happens,"
"You're not…freaking…out…" Seluna mumbled, her eyes fluttering closed.
"Ah ah, you stay with me," Joy ordered, shaking Seluna awake, "I might not be showing it, but I'm freaking out on the inside,"
"I've got it!" Chris yelled, coming back onto the scene, "Alright, Joy, hold her still…'cause this might hurt,"
He pulled out two long, sturdy sticks and placed them around Seluna's broken leg. He started to cut more strips off his shirt and then began to tie the sticks to Seluna's leg, creating a very study splint.
"Now what?" Joy asked.
"I'm going to cover the wound really quick…and then we're going to carry her down the cliff," Chris told her.
"We can do that?"
"Mhmm," Chris mumbled as he took the gauze and treated Seluna's leg, "There's a path off this ledge that leads back to the main trail. Sorry, that's what took me so long. I was scouting ways to get her off this place,"
He carefully picked Seluna up and, with Joy's help, walked down the mountain. It was a long trek, the sun had fallen and the moon had risen, barely shining behind the clouds by the time they made it to the main trail.
"It'll still take us about two hours to get there," Joy reasoned, "We should make a fire and keep her warm,"
"You're right," Chris agreed, "No doubt they're looking for us,"
"I'll get it started,"
"You?"
"You're not the only wilderness expert here," Joy teased, digging through her backpack and pulling out a lighter, "Plus I've got this,"
Chris gave a laugh as he stayed with Seluna and Joy gathered what they needed for a fire. Joy was quick and soon, a small fire was crackling before the trio.
"So…tired…" Seluna mumbled, leaning her head against Chris's shoulder as the trio huddled to keep warm.
"They'll be here soon," he reassured her, "And we'll get you to a…"
A sharp crack sounded off, making Chris and Joy freeze.
"What was that?" Joy whispered.
"I don't know…" Chris replied.
"Go find out then!"
"Me? Why me?"
"Because you're the big strong wilderness man!" Joy hissed.
Chris swallowed slightly, grabbing a hefty stick and standing just inside the firelight's circle…
Right as a park ranger walked into the light.
"Oh thank God!" Joy cried, "You found us!"
"Seluna's hurt bad…she needs a hospital," Chris told the ranger.
"Don't worry," the ranger reassured them as he came to Seluna and assessed the damage, "We'll get her taken care of,"
Seluna tiredly opened her eyes, taking in the white walls and pristine sterility of the room around her.
"You're awake!" came her mother's voice, making Seluna's tired gaze land on not only her, but her father, Evelyn, Joy and Chris.
"What…" Seluna started.
"Chris and Joy deserve medals," her father told her, "They carried you down the mountain when you broke your leg…it was very extensive damage. It could have been worse,"
"…What do you mean?" Seluna asked, trying to sit up…just to see that her leg was gone just below her knee.
"You could have lost your whole leg or even your life," her mother told her, "Chris and Joy saved you,"
"The tourniquet took it," Chris explained, "Seluna, I'm sorry…but it was the only way to keep you safe,"
"And even with that it's not working all the way," Joy said, sadly, as she bowed her head.
"…What?"
"We couldn't keep all the infection out," Joy explained, "We took too long to cover your wound,"
"The doctors didn't catch it until it was too late," her mother started, "They…"
"They say you don't have that long to live, Miss Rossignol," a male voice started, making the young woman look towards the door at a man in a dark suit and fedora, "My name's Andrew Summers…I work for Riot Games and I have a way that'll save you, Seluna,"
"And what would that be…" Seluna asked warily.
"Well…" Andrew started, "As I said, I work for Riot, creators of League of Legends…you're familiar with it, yes?"
Seluna nodded.
"I play Quinn a lot," she admitted, "Joy, Chris and I play all the time,"
"What I'm offering will save your life…but there is a price to it. Not money-wise, but time-wise,"
"And what is it?"
"We've done this quite a few times and saved the lives of many people such as yourself," Andrew told her, "What I'm offering will save your life, but you'll live on as a Champion of the League. One such Champion has Chosen you, to become you and you become her,"
"You know how crazy you sound?" Seluna asked.
"I know," Andrew chuckled, "But maybe this'll change your mind,"
He walked towards the window and opened it…right as a large, blue and gold, feathered form hopped up on the ledge. Seluna's eyes widened as the amber gaze of the regal bird's landed on her. The Demacian Eagle hopped off the ledge and onto the bedside table, nuzzling Seluna's cheek.
"You've been Chosen by Quinn and Valor, Demacia's Wings,"
Seluna reached up hesitantly and Valor butted his head against her palm, letting the smooth feathers slide under her palm as the smell of wood smoke, grass, and sky filled her nose. She gave a soft smile, not even looking at Andrew as she replied.
"I accept your offer, Andrew Summers," she smiled…and to her, it looked like Valor did too.
Next, Seluna gets acquainted with Quinn and then gets thrown onto the Rift with Cira and the other champions.
For you people wanting Chosens, here are my requirements:
What Champion
Character's name ( 1st and last)
Age
Family?
Physical Description
Personality
Why were they picked by the Champion?
How did they become the Champion(why did the Champion choose them and what were the circumstances that made the Champion choose to bond with the character? *doesn't have to be tragic accident, but I still want to know why they're the new Champion*)
You will have one month to get me a description of your Chosen before the Champion goes back into the pool. You can have multiple Chosens (my requirement is that they are related/know each other) Limit is 3. I CAN decide whether or not I will use your Chosen, I'm pulling the 'My story, my rules' card. If I see that someone has a very good reason for that Champion, then I will show preference for them mainly because it's easier for me to write.
