The Star guardian and her Darkin


Screams filled the air as the battle raged on Freljord.

Screams of pain, screams of anger and screams of fear all became one strong sound of war. And none could appreciate the song of battle more than Aatrox, the World Ender.

The darkin laughed as he grabbed a soldier by head before crushing his skull and spilling blood and brain matter onto the ground below. This is what he lived for, to end all things. This was his gift to mortals.

Aatrox felt a sword stab him on the back of the leg, it barely left a dent but he wasted no time in turning around and slapping the creature that had dared attack him with all his might. The human exploded into a viscera of gore that showered his companion in his remains. Aatrox glared at them, daring them to come closer and try to finish what their companion had started. Ten warriors approached him, blades, shields and axes ready.

The strongest Darkin grinned and brandished his own weapon, his prison, his anchor to this world. The sword stabbed the closest person in the gut. Aatrox wasted no time and jumped into the air bringing his weapon down onto his enemies. Blood and armor flew everywhere, making the darkin smile at the marvelous job he was doing.

Aatrox was going to search for more victims but suddenly a spear stabbed him in the shoulder. Aatrox immediately became wary, that had hurt. He looked around in anger trying to see who had dared to hit him. Soon enough his answer came from the heavens.

A foot slammed down onto Aatrox's jaw making him stumble back into the ground. It was shattered Aatrox thought annoyed, he tried to retaliate but a spear logged itself into his eye making scream in anger. He swatted blindly but to no avail there was nothing there but corpses.

Aatrox scoffed, that would have to do. He slammed his hands into the pool of blood and used it to heal himself. When he was done draining the ground of blood he was met with the helm of something he despised.

One of the aspects of Targon, to be specific the aspect of War.

"PANTHEON!" Aatrox screamed making the ground shake bellow him. Pantheon seemed unfazed by the ferocity of his opponent, he merely threw another spear at Aatrox.

This time the darkin swatted it away, his hatred fuming inside as if he were a volcano. Aatrox yelled and charged at him his sword striking against Pantheon's shield. Pantheon pushed him back and tried to counter attack but his opponent was faster. Aatrox grabbed the spear and snapped it in half, the splinters digging into his skin. Pantheon flinched as Aatrox's boiling blood splattered against his skin, but he needed not to wound the enemy, simply distract it for long enough.

With his godly strength Pantheon pushed Aatrox back and smashed his shield against Aatrox's face. The Darkin groaned in pain but he didn't stop his assault, he brought his sword down on Pantheon making him raise his shield which gave Aatrox the opening he needed. With a left hook he smashed his fist against Pantheon's helm dropping him to the ground.

Aatrox laughed "You disappoint me Pantheon, but no matter you will die like all the rest" he gave Pantheon a smirk that showed his giant teeth but to Aatrox's surprise Pantheon smiled back.

"War is not won simply on brute strength Darkin" was all the aspect of War said before Aatrox's world became one of pain. He screamed as he felt himself being torn from this reality once more.

His eyes grew wide as he felt himself being thrown back into the sword. Aatrox started to panic.

"NO! NOT BACK THERE!" he screamed as he tried in vain to remain whole, his body was starting to destroy itself. Parts of him fell to the ground as he screamed in agony. His vision started to blur but he managed of catch a glimpse of the one that was causing him pain. He screamed in rage.

"ASPECT OF CHANGE! I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!" was all he could cough out, his time was up and he knew it. With one final pained growl Aatrox was trapped once more in the sword. He started to hyperventilate but managed to calm himself down. Someone would come he knew it. He would possess the host and start anew. He just needed to get stronger, he had been so close…

"I know you can her me" the voice of Pantheon echoed in his prison. Aatrox tried to do something but he couldn't he was at the mercy of his captors.

"When we heard of the death and destruction you were causing, Targon couldn't simply turn its head, Zoe and I have trapped you, but the question remains; for how long?" he said.

If he could have Aatrox would have laughed, indeed soon he would break out of this prison and kill them all!

"So we came up with a way to get rid of you for good"

Aatrox felt unease creep its way into him once again, this was bad. He needed to get away, but he had no legs. He had nothing. Aatrox was helpless.

"Yeah" came the nervous and saddened voice of Zoe "You hurt people you're mean so I… well we… if you really can hear me I'm sorry"

Aatrox started to hyperventilate again, this was bad, really bad.

"You will be thrown into the Void, I pity you monster, I hope they will be able to end your suffering" Pantheon said quietly.

Aatrox felt a rift of dark energy appear all around, he struggled but soon he fell into the deepest abyss there was nothing there. Nothing but pain and fear. For not the first time Aatrox wished he could cry out for help. But he knew none would answer his screams.


Lux huffed as she exited school. Small tears already forming on her eyes.

She got it, she was the new kid around the block. But Ahri didn't need to remind her almost every minute of the day. She heard Janna call out her name but she was far too tired to deal with a scolding from her too.

It seemed everyone wanted to tell her what to do, from how to live her life to how to be a leader. She was capable and she would prove it!

She just didn't know how.

Lux arrived at her home and slammed the door shut, no one would care. There was no one home as usual. Her family was not home like always and she found herself staring into the darkness of her home. A thin layer of dust was starting to cover her furniture.

For not the first time she felt the feeling of loneliness hit her full force. No one cared about her, she thought as she prepared some sad looking ramen for one. The silence was unbearable.

She wanted to scream!

Lux finished her meal quickly and ran quickly upstairs ignoring all the chores that she had been ignoring for the last week. It was too much for her to deal with.

She just wanted someone to stand by her side, to be there for her. Not to judge her or tell her what to do, but no one seemed to get that. Not even Jinx, her closest friend, stayed for long. She just came and went as she pleased not giving a damn of those she left behind.

Lux changed into her pajamas and then curled up in her bed and enveloped herself in blankets and pillows. Lux stayed like that drowning in her thoughts and sorrows until she felt a small rumbling in the yard.

Lux whimpered and reached for her staff, why her?!

She ran downstairs and pointed her staff at the empty yard

"Who is there?!" she yelled trying to sound intimidating.

As intimidating as a teen in her bright pink pajamas could be. Lux answer came when a literal portal opened in her yard making her scream in panic.

"I have no back up, I'm so dead!" she said out loud as the first creatures started pouring in. Lux did her best to destroy them one by one with her staff but soon enough they started to get dangerously close to her.

She tried to run but one grabbed her by the leg and started to drag her into the portal. Lux screamed in panic as another creature took her staff form her, with no options left she started to grab the grass in a futile attempt at trying to stop the creatures.

She felt something heavy land next to her, Lux looked up and saw the intimidating sight of a massive sword. With no other options she reached to it and held it tight. And then everything went black.

Lux blinked a she stared at her new surroundings, an empty pit of darkness surrounded her making her tremble she raised her hand to her face and noticed that she was the only visible thing in this empty void.

The ground bellow her shook making her fall to her knees. "Have I died?" she asked out loud to no one in particular as her eyes started to tear up. She felt another rumbling in the dark and she flinched.

"Not death" a deep voice answered all around her, Lux glared and prepared herself for battle. She might be scared out of her wits but she was still a Star Guardian! She would not go down without a fight.

"Who is there?" she called out surprised at how brave she sounded compared to when she was on the yard a few moment ago. There was silence for a moment before another rumble shook the ground.

"My prison, my pain and my grave, you are here where everything ends" was the reply making Lux raise a brow. The voice was still answering her location. Well as cryptically as it could do it but at least she was getting some form of answer.

A loud crack filled the air and a scream of anguish followed soon after.

"Are you all right?"

"No, I'm being torn apart, death… is not here for me, but a fate far worst awaits me, broken and with no hope of coming back to the world"

"You mean you will stay like this forever" Lux asked horrified, at the prospect of someone being alone like this.

"Until all things cease to be"

Lux gasped and shook her head, she put a hand on her chest and took a decision.

"Can you see me?" she asked as another crack echoed in the air.

"N-no…"

"Then open your eyes wide, I will get us out of here" she said with conviction a pressed both of her palms together. She closed her eyes and searched for the power within.

Lux let out a scream and shot out a beam of starlight that illuminated the air around her.

"Can you see me?" she said as she looked around only for her eyes to land on a monster out of her worst nightmare. The creature grinned at her, its sharp teeth reflecting the light.

"I see you" was all it said as it lunged at her.

Lux screamed as its claws tore her shoulder and blood erupted from the new wound. She tried to fight back but it felt as if she was being torn from the inside out.

"Please… stop" Lux said as she felt as she was going to faint, but before that could happen a final resounding crack echoed in the air and she hit the ground hard.

Lux groaned as she wiped out the grass out of her mouth.

"Grass?" she wondered and looked around. Shattered metal was all around her as the creatures of the dark dragged it away to the portal. The other where starting to advance towards her.

Lux looked around for her staff but one of the insect was carrying it away to the portal out of option she prepared herself.

Her attention was drawn to a large piece of the shattered sword. Without thinking she grasped it ignoring how it cut into her skin. She charged into the enemy as anger grew in her heart. With a war cry she didn't think she was capable of making she stabbed the first creature that came close to her.

Noticing that previous downed enemy had returned the creatures once more flocked towards her. Lux didn't feel fear anymore only anger, she knew that something was wrong with her but at the moment she didn't care she only cared about saving her home from these THINGS!

Lux stabbed anything that close to her without even noticing it she had started to carve a path close to the portal, she grabbed her wand from the mouth of the creature before starting to stab it in the head over and over again.

She heard the portal close and she was left alone with only the corpses of the creatures around her.

"What just happened?" Lux asked herself as her vision started to blur and sounds around her started to sound distant. With wary feet she made her way inside the house. Her stomach emitted a sharp pain that she hadn't felt before.

Out of instinct she moved to the kitchen and opened the fridge, she grabbed a cold pizza and started to stuff her face with it. Her animalistic instinct took over and she bit and swallowed as fast as her hands and mouth allowed her too.

"LUX!" she heard someone scream at her right and she blinked a few times barely making out the outline of both her and Ahri's team.

Lux blinked at them before taking another bite of the cold pizza "Hi didn't see you there"
