Once upon a time, there lived a Dark Queen they called Leblanc. She was a young and beautiful woman, but she could not stand if anyone might surpass her in beauty. She had a magic mirror. Many a morning she stood before it, looked at herself, and said:
"Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Who is the fairest one of all?"
To this the magic mirror answered:
"You, my Dark Queen, are the fairest one of all."
Then she was satisfied, for she knew the magic mirror spoke the truth.
One day, the magic mirror's answer changed:
"It is true, my Queen, that thou art fair,
But in Runterra there lives one fairer than thee
She lives in the kingdom of Demacia
She is the one they call Lux Crownguard, she is the fairest one of all."
Upon hearing this the Dark Queen Leblanc was overborn with envy. Day and night she had no peace.
"Lux Crownguard must die," she said to herself.
The Dark Queen Leblanc summoned her best hunter, she said to him:
"Find the one they call Lux Crownguard in the Kingdom of Demacia, take her out into the woods, and cut her throat. As proof that she is dead, bring me her heart. I command it."
The hunter set out to carry out the Dark Queen's orders. He travelled to Demacia whereupon he found the innocent Lux Crownguard. The hunter was awestruck by the beauty of Lux Crownguard.
"Oh you pretty thing," the hunter said to himself. "What a terrible fate must befell thee."
The hunter lured the innocent Lux Crownguard into the woods. He took out his hunting knife and was about to cut her throat when she began to cry, saying:
"Oh dear hunter, please let me live. I will run into the woods and never come back."
Because of her beauty, the hunter took pity on her. "Run away then, and never come back."
As Lux ran deep into the woods, the hunter thought to himself: "The wild animals will soon devour you anyways. I wash my hands clean of the matter."
On his way back to the castle of the Dark Queen Leblanc, the hunter killed a large Poro and took out its heart. He presented the Poro's heart as proof to Leblanc that Lux Crownguard was dead.
Upon seeing the heart, the Dark Queen Leblanc was filled with joy and happiness. She rewarded the hunter with lands and titles, then she commanded the cooks to take the heart, prepare it and serve it with salt and herbs. Then the Dark Queen Leblanc ate the heart, supposing it was Lux Crownguard's.
…
Lux Crownguard ran through the woods crying with tears, she grew terrified for her life for the forest was dark and full of terrors.
At length she found herself before a small cottage. She went inside to take refuge.
When she entered the cottage she found herself face to face with Seven Yordles. At first the small-figured Yordles wanted her gone… but then she explained to them that Leblanc wanted her dead, the hunter tried to kill her, and she spent the entire day running through the woods until she came upon this cottage. Upon hearing this, the small-figured Yordles took pity on her and allowed her to stay.
Lux Crownguard and the Yordles became friends. They held hands in a circle, danced around, and sang many a happy song.
During the day, when the Yordles went to work the mines, Lux Crownguard stayed at home. She cooked and cleaned and tended to the flowers. Lux Crownguard, she did perform her duties as Woman. During the night she kept the Seven Yordles company, whereupon she sang to them many songs and told to them many stories. Lux Crownguard and the Seven Yordles became very good friends.
