Fall into the Darkness
Chapter 1: Early morning
It's early morning in Demacia. The birds are flying around outside, singing their morning songs. The young light-mage is lying in her bed, sill tired from yesterday's match. A sliver of sunlight passes through a gap in the curtains, shining brightly against her beautiful face. She slowly awakes, holding her hand in front of her to protect her face from the morning sun. She gets up in a sitting position, holding her blanket close to her body and rubbing the sleep away from her eyes. After a loud yawn, she throws herself back into the bed, and stares into the white ceiling of her room. Suddenly there is a knock on the door. Lux is thinking of ignoring it at first, rolling around on her bed after each knock, but after five knocks she finally decides to get up and answer the door. Sounding slightly irritated she says. "Yes, yes, I'm coming…"
Still in her underwear, she slowly opens the door, and hid herself behind it. She looks out to see her brother standing there; fully armored and with a note in his hand. "What is it Garen?" Lux asks sleepy. "You must get ready at once. We've received a warning that Noxus will attack one of our outposts." Lux stares in confusion, before yawning again. "But…I just got up. Give me a second to wake up. I'll be down in a minute."
Garen rushes down the hallway, signaling Lux to hurry up. She closes her door and sighs, dragging herself towards her bathroom to wash her face with some cold water, then looks herself in the mirror. She sighs again, grabs her hairbrush and starts to straighten her long blond hair. When she's satisfied with her hairstyle, she walks back out to her room and over to her closet. Inside is about a dozen of the same blue jumpsuit, and armor pieces. She grabs one and slides her legs in it, before pulling it up and over her torso. It fits nice and tight around her body, it's like she's wearing nothing at all. She grabs her armor pieces one by one. She puts on the part around her hips, the chest plate, the shoulder pads, the headband, gauntlets and finally the boots. After rushing with putting it on, she looks herself in the giant mirror beside her closet. She strikes some poses to check if she's got it on right. "Looking good." She says and rushes out of her room, almost forgetting her wand. It's in a golden glass case right beside her bed. After retrieving it she looks around her room, like she's never going to see it again. She shakes her head and rushes downstairs, leaving the door to slowly close and slam shut.
Downstairs, Garen is waiting. He's leaning at the wall by the main door, tapping his foot on the stone floor, his arms crossed over his chest, sighing with irritation over his slow sister. Finally Lux comes running down the stairs, and rushes over to her impatient brother. "Took you long enough. Now let's go."
Lux didn't even get to say anything. She frowns and follows her brother outside. The sun is shining brightly and Lux looks around the courtyard. She spots Sona of all people, sitting in the garden not too far from her. She looks like she just woke up as well. The wind starts to blow strongly and the flags of Demacia can clearly be heard, flapping around in the wind. As the wind settles down, Lux walks down the pathway, following close to her brother. "Come quickly, we will meet with the Demacian elite guard at the gates". Lux thought for a moment to herself. "The Elite guard…Is it really that serious?" They get to the stables where two horses, one black and one white with brown spots, are waiting for them. Garen quickly jumps on one horse, leaving Lux with the white horse. She smile and talks to the horse for a bit before her Brother comes over and pokes her with his boot. "We don't have time for that, hurry up!"
"What's with him today?" Lux thought to herself, frowning with irritation, as she jumped up onto the horse and followed Garen. They galloped down the streets of Demacia, the sound of the horse's hooves slamming against the stone road, echoing through the alleyways. The people are cheering for them, as they see the leader of the Dauntless Guard riding past them. They reach the main gate where the Elite guard is waiting for them, led by no other than Shyvana herself. Lux smiled and waved at the Half Dragon, who waved back to her, though it was less energetic. Lux guessed she got woken up early too, and it was confirmed when Shyvana let out a yawn - even though it was more like a roar. Garen stopped and looked apron the dozen soldiers waiting for his command. "Listen closely! One of our spies has reported that Noxus planes to attack one of our outposts! We are to reinforce the outpost and stop Noxus from taking over."
Lux scratches her head. Noxus may be powerful, but for taking over a small outpost seemed rather pointless to her. It's not even in a critical location. Garen continues his speech. "This will be a dangerous mission. The report states that Katarina will be leading the attack. We have a plan to stop the attack and capture her." Suddenly Lux realized. Garen just wanted Katarina captured. Lux interrupts Garen. "But why?" Garen turns his head and stares at her. He lowers his head and shakes in disappointment, like Lux was supposed to know already. "Lux, Lux, Lux… It's really simple. We capture her, interrogate her, make her realize how awesome Demacia is, and finally make her a proud member of the Demacian fami… I mean Military!" Garens eyes shines as he speaks. A comically oversized bead of sweat appears on Lux's forehead as Garen proudly threw his fist into the air. Lux thought to herself "Yeah… Like that's going to happen…" Garen lifts his arm and signals everyone to move out. Everyone starts to walk out the main gate, but Lux stops Garen before he exits the gate. Lux looks worried. "I don't like this… Be careful" Garen just nods and gallops to the front of the group, while Lux takes it slow in the back.
