Jealous.

Shyvana was jealous, she realized. She was used to being ignored, being feared. She was used to being alone, but still she couldn't get rid of that feeling. She wanted a companion. Not just anyone, she wanted someone who didn't look at her with fear, who wasn't ever going to leave her. This primal urge was clawing at her very soul, the need to have a mate. Not just any mate… she wanted a woman.

Some men were brave enough to face her, but all the woman couldn't even look at her. She was terrifying in their eyes, a beast. This awoken a dark desire inside her, to capture one of them and break them. If they wouldn't give her any love, then she would just take their love. She imagined it all the time; with her strength, it wouldn't be too hard to kidnap one and tie them up. But they wouldn't be tied up in any regular way; their arms and legs bound, a rope would circle around their breasts, emphasizing them, and their lower regions would be bond in a provocative way as well. The rope would circle around their hips and be looped in a way that went down their ass and up their crotch. There would be a knot in front of it, of course so that every time they moved, it would rub in such a way…

But she couldn't kidnap a Demacian. Despite the looks she got, she was still grateful to them for giving her a place to live and an arena to thrive, the League of Legends, but every day, her dark wants became stronger and stronger. She thought of every single way imaginable to make someone her slave, someone who begged to be with her and craved her touch…

She then came to a solution. Kidnap a Noxian. This was perfect for her. She wouldn't be betraying the trust of the Demacians and she could fill out every single fantasy she had wanted. But it needed to be someone stubborn, because it would be so much more enjoyable watching them slowly lose their will until they become nothing more than a sex slave. Someone who wasn't stubborn and would give in too easily wouldn't satisfy her desire.

The answer as to "who" came, quite literally, to her.

On one particular evening, she saw a hooded figure walking the streets of Demacia, in a hurry. She thought it was very suspicious, so she followed the hooded figure all the way back to her house… Not because the figure had the curves of a woman and was all alone, just because she was suspicious, is what she convinced herself. Of course, if she was up to no good, then Shyvana could kidnap and punish her for the sake of justice…

The house of the hooded woman was pretty secluded… it was farther away from all of the other houses and was surrounded by trees, like something you would see in a horror story, but not nearly as eerie looking. When the woman entered the house, Shyvana walked silently up to the house and peeked through the window on the door. The woman no longer had her hood on, revealing her identity.

When she saw who it was, Shyvana grinned, unable to contain her excitement at how perfect the situation was. A house secluded from society, and a Noxian woman… Whatever her reasons for being there, she was defiantly not welcome in Demacia, Shyvana thought, so she would be prepared for the consequences of hiding here.

She didn't know why she was there, and she honestly didn't care. Shyvana knew that she would capture Katarina and completely break her will…

Katarina, in the comfort of her hideout, sat down on the couch in the living room. She knew that she needed to keep a low profile, being in enemy territory, but even the events leading up to her being there had taken their toll.

Still, for me to be working with a Demacian… Jarvan no less, Katarina thought.

The events that had taken place at Kalamanda were revealed to have been orchestrated by the league itself. Faced with such a truth, both her and Jarvan became outraged to the point where they agreed to work together to bring these fact to life. After finding the evidence they needed, Jarvan needed to make preparations to announce their findings of the treachery the league had done. He had said it would take time to explain the situation to those he trusted, as well as sort out how they would go about telling all of the people, Demacian and Noxian alike, the truth.

He said it would take a week or two. What a pain it is, having to avoid so many people and sit around doing nothing for that long. I have no choice, however. Such an act as purposefully causing war between Noxus and Demacia cannot be overlooked.

With that thought, she sighed as she continued to wait.

To wait, and wait, because it needed to be done.

"Welcome, how… can I help you?"

The store owner paused mid greeting, probably out of fear or surprise, as Shyvana entered her store. Her voice didn't falter however; it just paused for a short second.

"…This is a store for adult toys, right?" Shyvana asked, looking around in her stern look, but still showing some curiosity to her new environment.

"Yes. There should be a nice selection of items to enhance you and your partner's love life that can only be found here." The clerk said a matter-of-factly.

Shyvana gave a quick glance at the clerk and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Well, I was a little surprised, but you came through the door just now, didn't you? You're a customer like anyone else, so why should I be afraid… right?"

Shyvana nodded, accepting her answer, and proceeded to move further into the store.

"Um, are you looking for anything in particular?" The clerk asked.

Shyvana turned to face the clerk, and stood in silence.

"…"

"…Are you ok?" The clerk asked.

"This is strange, I know what I want to do, but I'm not sure what I need to go about it…" Shyvana murmured aloud.

"Ah, I see. Well, what do you want to do with your partner then?" The clerk asked.

"Make her my sex slave." Shyvana said without flinching.

"I…I see. So is it an S&M fetish or something more along the lines of hypnotism fetish?"

"…Pardon?"

"…You don't know what I mean?"

"No, I don't"

The clerk made a slight chuckle at this, and then asked, "Do you want to completely dominate your partner through physical or mental means?"

"Physical, but what do you mean by mental?"

"Mental domination is when you have complete control over your partner's mind. When you have mental dominance over your partner, they will be unable to disobey you whatsoever and will be constantly aroused. They can't help but feel excited because of the power their partner has over their minds and they know they can only obey, which excites them further."

"That… actually sounds incredible, but can you really give anyone the power to do that?"

"You misunderstand. Naturally, there are some who have the power to control other people's minds, but most of us don't have that liberty. That's why hypnotism exists, as a way for anyone to gain mental dominance over their partner. The basic idea is that you use an object, a pendulum or crystal that distorts light, which catches your partner's eyes, making it easy to look at, and when you swing it in front of their eyes, they will follow it and slip into a deep trance. There's no powers involved, however, so how can such a thing happen? Simple, it's your partner that does all the work! Their belief in the concept of hypnotism or in your powers in turn makes them relinquish all of their control willingly! Deep down, your partner's inner feelings of submission will be brought out without them feeling embarrassed and their desires to be dominated will put them in a deep, arousing trance where they can relinquish all control to their partner! It's such a wonderful outlet!"

Shyvana just stood in silence as the store clerk passionately went on with her explanation. When she finished, the clerk, realizing how she just preached a fetish full-heartedly to someone, turned beet red.

"I take it you like hypnotism." Shyvana guessed.

"Ah, no… I just, um, think it's wonderful that people can let their purest feelings for the other loose without any form of restraint. I don't have any preferences when it comes to the method as long as it enriches someone's love life." The clerk finished, blushing even more when she admitted that.

"…What's your name?" Shyvana asked, thinking this was the longest she spent talking to a person in a while.

"My name? It's Karla. I'm the owner of this store. Very nice to meet you, miss Shyvana." Karla said, still red but getting over her embarrassment.

"The owner, but aren't you a bit young to be running a store, especially this type?" Shyvana asked, unsurprised that her name was known without her introducing herself.

"Twenty is still acceptable I think. Besides, there isn't really any other store like this in town so I figured I could make a living from selling all of these wonderful things." Karla said.

"I suppose business must be good then, being the only store?"

"…"

"…"

"I have plenty of ropes, and how to guides on tying your partner as well as-"

"Are you really trying to change the subject by promoting your items?"

"I'm poor as dirt right now." Karla said while looking at the ground in a depressed state.

"Come to think of it, this store hasn't been around for too long, has it?"

"It took me almost all of my money to buy the store and stock. Looking back on it now, it was a little bit reckless."

"Well, what's done is done. What were you trying to sell me again?"

"Cured rope, how to tie your partner books, handcuffs, collars, whips, chains, gags, masks-"

"That's a lot of things."

"-piercings and needles, body lotion, aphrodisiacs-"

"Stop, I think I get it. How much is the rope and how-to book?"

"There's more than one of the how to books and I need to know how long you want the rope."

"Give me what you think is appropriate for getting started."

Karla nodded and made her way around the counter to the shelves. She walked to the respective sections of shelves and came back with a rope and two books.

"These two books are good for starting out with a few basic ways of tying as well as some recommendations for other books if you like a specific way of tying your partner." Karla stated.

Shyvana glanced at the books titles briefly before saying, "How much is it all together?"

"The rope is one silver and the two books individually are 15 bronze per book. It comes to 1 silver and 30 bronze coins." Karla explained.

"Hmm, isn't the rope a bit expensive?" Shyvana asked.

"I chose the one that would last the longest and it's a decent length. If you want something cheaper though, I can grab another one for you."

"No, that's fine. I'll take what you recommended."

Karla walked behind the counter, placing the items on it, while Shyvana put the total amount of money on the counter. Once Karla took the money, Shyvana grabbed her items.

"Thanks for your purchase, please come again." Karla said in a professionally warming way.

"Hmm, I might just do that." Shyvana said, walking out of the store.
