Hello my fellow Fictioneers. Ryan here. Y'all know what i'm gonna ask of you first, and that is to please review my story. This is a pilot that i'm starting. I personally think there are too little Nami fics out there, so here is my take on it. I am not sure how far I am going to take this story, I might lift it all the way to M rated and if I do, i'm not sure if i am going to put it in this same story or post it as a separate fiction with a link in the head or footnote in this story. i am looking forward to reading your feedback and please do tell me if i should carry on with this story, try at another one or completely stop writing FF in general.
I would like to thank Winkleson for reminding me to mind my spacing a bit better and improve on my originality a bit (I hope it is now more readable for you, but just for you i did include Diana in this story ;) ). And WhisperMeYourThoughts for encouraging me to keep on writing.
Here are all the lores. You might want to check them out if you are completely unfamiliar with the background stories of Nami, Leona and Diana:

She looked around, somewhat disturbed, as the smell of blood and spell burnt flesh wavered through her nostrils. From the bush ahead she could hear a blood curling scream, which she immediately identified as Vayne's, followed by several battle cries originating from the throats of several enemies.
An ominous voice announced "Shut down!"
"You should run Nami, you know that they will likely head for dragon after that ambush, and guess what you just warded."
The arrogant voice of her summoner echoed through her mind. She took one last glance at the bush before turning around and summoning a tide on which she could float away. It was only routine really. Although Vayne was a good lane partner, she would often get too audacious and charge into hopeless fights.
God. She hated her summoner today. None of them, including this one, truly used her ability to stall any initiative that the enemy team might have. Mentally grumbling about her current disposition, she arrived at the nearest turret and started to recall.
The rest of the match went off without any significant events. Despite several kills being made on her, Vayne was too fed and she carried the team to victory in less than half an hour. Stretching her aching limbs, she exited the fields of justice and made way for her quarters.
As she crossed the main summoning hall, she ran into the person she had been intending to speak to earlier that day. After the previous four dreadful matches she decided against looking for her today and instead do it tomorrow, but why not take the little things life gave to you, right?
"Hey, I was meaning to speak to you today."
The female summoner looked up from the scroll she had been reading.
"What about?"
Nami took a medium sized shimmering globe out of the hilt of her staff and held the abyssal pearl up to the summoner's face as she replied.
"You had promised me that you would dig through the archives and see what you could find out about the moonstone, Reya. Every day I spend out here more of my people are dying. I need to find it as soon as possible."
The summoner silently handed over the scroll she had been reading. Nami took it, briefly held it and returned it to the hands of its owner.
"You know I can't read, do you?"
The summoner looked at Nami as if she had just announced she wanted to become a hextech mechanic before slowly unrolling the scroll again.
"Right, well, we have scroll that describes every exchange between your people and ours so far since the end of the Rune War. This on its own is not very surprising, because magicians have been keeping records of a lot of special occasions. What is however special about this scroll, is the fact that is was not written by magicians, but by those who you call the 'landwalkers'."
Nami was about to interrupt the summoner for wasting her time with this utterly useless information.
"AND, the last entry details an event that might explain why this generation's landwalker did not show up to the cove earlier this year."
Now the summoner had nami's attention alright. Seeing nami's facial expression change clearly gave the summoner some much needed reassurance.
"The scroll describes that the moonstone was always retrieved from a secluded temple on mount Targon, a good week travels south from where we are now. We once knew the priests and priestesses there to be friendly and loving people, unlike their surrounding neighbors. If you want to know more about that you should go ask Pantheon or Leona, they are form the tribes that live on those treacherous slopes. As you are no doubt aware, the Solari have some… issues with worshippers of the moon. As you might have guessed, moonstones come from moon temples. The Solari laid waste to the place many years ago, killing most of the Lunari in the process. The abandoned ruins have last been visited by Diana in her quest for knowledge about the moon, but she told me that the only things that remain of the shrine are some archways and a large heap of rubble, surrounded by skeletons on pikes, the tattered remains of their robes slowly swaying in the wind."
Nami looked rather pensive for a moment.
"Thank you, Reya, for digging up all this. If I may ask one last favor, where do you think I should go next?"
The summoner tugged the scroll away in a pouch slung over her shoulder.
"I would suggest you either go speak to Leona or Diana. Since you can't read, digging up more information about the shrine in a library will prove difficult for you."
Nami bowed to the summoner before setting off towards her room. Still mulling and musing over the information that had been given to her, she was completely unaware of the person she was about to collide with.
The sensation of being run over by a small wave, however refreshing, was not really something that Alex was used to. The finned creature that had run him over was still completely unaware of him as he got back to his feet and took in the sight of the destroyed scrolls he had been working on all day.
"Hey!"
The mermaid turned around. Taking in the sight of the soaked figure she first giggled, looked in amazement, then looked rather shocked at what she had just done.
"Sorry! I really didn't mean to run… wave… you over."
Alex had to admit that she looked kind of cute with her big green eyes and pale skin.
"It's okay. I have to get the water out of these scrolls before the ink starts to run and they become unreadable. I really should get changed too. I'll get going again."
She looked at him, her face contorting into a quite comical complexion, but said nothing for a short while. Right as he was about to turn around she spoke up.
"I'm Nami by the way…"
After a brief exchange of names, just as Alex was about to leave, Nami spoke up again.
"If there is anything I can do to make it up to you, you will let me know right?"
"Of course I will… Tell me something, I have not seen you before, how long have you been here?"
"I joined the league a few months ago, but I am rarely summoned for lower ranking games and whenever I am people really don't use my full potential. More experienced players do seem to have developed a liking for my skillset though. Tell you what, why don't you summon me tomorrow."
"Sounds like a solid plan Nami, but I really do need to get going."
With one last greeting Alex was off. Nami had to admit there was something different about him.
Well , that was it people. I would like to remind you all who have time and want to see frequent updates on this to review and thank you for flying RyanAir (bad pun, i know). Peace out.
