A random idea came through my mind while I'm currently handling several characters for role-playing on Twitter. Here it is! First fiction of 2019. Maybe this is the only one, because I'm making this as a several-chapter story. PM me if you need the username of the characters below via Twitter!

Across the Ancients and Runeterra

Introduction to the story:

Imagine Dota 2 universe and League of Legends universe co-exist. The northern hemisphere of an Earth in a parallel universe is known as the Runeterra, while the southern hemisphere is known as the Ancients.

There is a strange rule between the hemispheres, although Runeterra and the Ancients are located within the same planet. There is an invisible barrier that is drawn across the equator, and is being called by the name of "Meta Barrier", where the residents of the Ancients (mostly referring to the heroes) cannot visit the Runeterra, and the residents of the Runeterra (mostly referring to the champions) cannot visit the Ancients.

Until one day, a random monkey passed through the barrier and eventually ended up flirting with the Vastayans…


Character introduction and the summary of their stories.

Sun Wukong, the Monkey King (Ancients & Runeterra)

Once a dominant king in the Ancients. He spent 500 years being buried under the Five Finger Mountain as a punishment of trolling at the heaven where Gods including Zeus living, before being rescued by a monk. Since then, he followed the monk to the Journey to the West, in order to get the ultimate knowledges of the Buddhism. Once his mission was complete, he spent the next decade as a wanderer, yielding his Monkey King Bar and riding a cloud to travel across the Ancients, making friends with the ladies and fighting with other heroes. He even had a row with the spider by the name of Arachnia.

Then, his life changed when he travelled towards the Meta Barrier.

"Everyone can relax… The Monkey King has arrived." He announced his presence into Runeterra.

Now residing in Ionia, he has his furs and face slightly altered, but he retains his playful and talkative attitude. And he is famous among the Runeterra residents as he always brings items from the Ancients, providing the fact that he always transverse between the Ancients and Runeterra. Flirts with ladies especially Ahri the nine-tail fox, but he is still a beyond-500-year-old virgin. He loves to watch drama happening between the champions as the champions are more active compared to the heroes, so he would bring the popcorn along with him. Rumor says that he has an infinite supply of popcorns.

Xayah, the Rebel (Runeterra)

"I'm just an ordinary girl. An ordinary girl with an infinite supply of death quills."

A Vastayan Lhotlan in her mid-twenties, she loves to explore the magical place. She has built a cabin in the middle of Ionia forest after she had lost connection with her mieli, Rakan once. Xayah once explained that they had lost connection just because Rakan insisted to bring her flying around, and accidentally let go of her hand, causing her to fall hard, and Rakan was never been seen after that.

While in the middle of searching her mieli, that would cost her everything. She spent efforts to build the cabin, all by herself. Meanwhile, she was willing to get humiliated (especially by the guys who are pleasure seekers as well), and eventually she dated with a Darkin titan named Aatrox briefly. He trained her how to fight, and she would grant him a Valentine's date in return.

Her life was back on track when she found her mieli eventually, while the titan bowed to leave and thanked her for being his accompany. Now, the two love birds reunite again and they are seen always together at that cabin. The cabin is no longer belonged to Xayah; it belongs to the love birds.

Lanaya, the Templar Assassin (Ancients)

Possessed of a scientific bent, Lanaya spent her early years engaged in meticulous study of nature's laws-peering into grimoires of magic and alchemy, recreating experiments from charred fragments of the Violet Archives, and memorizing observations of the Keen recordkeepers. Lanaya went through the books available from the history of the Ancients to the modern technologies founded by Boush the Keen Tinker. Throughout the years, she found a new wisdom - the Templar, and she vowed to protect the faction no matter the costs. "The mysteries cannot protect themselves," and that's the motive she had until now.

As she dived back into the sea of knowledge inside the Violet Archives, there was one book that caught her attention. The North. Added by the fact that Sun Wukong, the Monkey King had vanished into the north and Tresdin, the Legion Commander was the last hero who had spotted, and even picked up a conversation with the Monkey King, Lanaya's curiosity tickled and she investigated into further manners, by investing her time into learning stuffs from the said book.

She read and decipher the book without a sign of breaks until one day she finally collapsed because she was tired, and something mysterious happened onto her...

Slark, the Nightcrawler (Ancients)

The fish was adopted by one of the Slithereens of the Dark Reef, by the name of Slithice, the only daughter of the Slithereen Guards of the Dark Reef. Slark named himself while he was just a kid, and learned several surviving skills from the Naga Siren. But then, the Slithereen guards found him, accused him of being an unauthorized resident of the Dark Reef, and eventually he was being sent to the Dark Reef Prison, the most infamous prison under the sea of the Ancients.

The young and naïve Slithereen spent weeks in the prison, and his first day was the worst of his life. He was imprisoned with his dying father who left him in front of Slithice's house right after he was being delivered from his deceased mother. And for the rest of his prison days, Slark had to eat his father's flesh while trying to join the inmates who were planning for a jailbreak.

And the jailbreak occurred. Slark was the sole survivor. He stole the Silver Edge shiv, and swam towards the surface.

As a sea creature, he can pass through the Meta Barrier easily without altering his appearance. He is friendly with the trickster yordle Fizz and the Shuriman Emperor Azir. He is currently dating with Gondar, the bounty hunter, although Slark goes for ladies as well.

"If I'd known I'd end up here, I'd have stayed in Dark Reef Prison."

Neeko, the Curious Chameleon (Runeterra)

Another young Vastayan lady from Ionia, Neeko much resembles a chameleon, but she hates anyone who addresses her as a lizard. Shapeshifting and mimicking are her hobbies, and she is no stranger to Nidalee, who shapeshifts into cougar as well. Unlike most known Neeko right there, this Neeko is pretty straight; she doesn't sway for girls, although the curious chameleon has several friends of the same gender.

"They cannot handle me."

Neeko likes to refer herself in the first person (unlike in game), although she refers herself from the third-person perspective sometimes. She likes to make new friends and learn some new stuffs (including what happened in the tent with a random Vastayan).

Not much details about her as Neeko lives in the most remote area of Ionia you could imagine, but she is one of the most talented Vastayans you could ever imagine. But, her talent is the best weapon when it comes to the war within the Summoner's Rift. Infamous of being a temporary doppelganger, Neeko always confuses her enemies by disguising as her wounded ally. Then, with a pop blossom, the enemies will be stunned – and probably, slained – for sure.

One fine morning, she came across a Vastayan, who did mention about the barrier. The curious chameleon had her question marks popped on top of her head about the barrier. Perhaps she could find some interesting creatures beyond the barrier? Maybe, there's another Neeko behind the barrier? Neeko never knew until she would ask her friend to travel together, to solve her questions.

Tresdin, the Legion Commander (Ancients)

A well trained soldier, Tresdin is pretty serious about every war she is in. What makes her being a more serious soldier is when she is now the legion commander of the Bronze Legion. War after war, her blade went blunt over time, but her strength increases over time, and her experience of reading opponents' minds and slaining them to their feet increases as time progress too.

"There is still strength in this land. I can feel it." Every time before the war, she said this to herself. Every time when the legion scored a brace over the battlefield, she said this to herself. But, what if the legion lost? Despite in exchange of her army's life, Tresdin could still say the same sentences all over and over again. Overwhelming the odds is her motto, and the only reason she stands tall in every battlefield, despite the fact that she is the only lady who possesses much strength among the other heroes of the same class. Hobby? Dueling, enough said. When the horn starts, she will go one-on-one with her target, and only the winner stands tall.

Recently she heard about the Meta Barrier, along with the existence of Runeterra. She was too busy within her Bronze Legion, and that showed her dedication towards the war. Now, new challengers arise, and she is currently seeking the best way to make every champions of Runeterra bow down in front of her.

Rakan von Dragonus, the Skywrath Charmer (Ancients, then Runeterra)

Once by the name Dragonus, the skywrath spent his 30 years at the Ghastly Eyrie. Until riots occurred. His lover Shendelzare caught her last breath as she was abruptly banished by her sisters. Dragonus was in despair, and he vowed to forget the tragedy happened to him, but at the same time he wanted to help her to revenge. After buried his signature staff along with his lover's body nearby, Dragonus flew to the north, and used too much of his magical ability and spells just to bypass the Meta Barrier.

Stumbled across the lands of Runeterra, he would gather himself within Ionia – the same place Wukong is in.

Throughout the years of staying at Ionia, his appearance had drifted away from what he should be, eventually he made friends with some unknown Vastayans until he can now retract his wings into a cape. He started to walk on ground, although his gesture was awkward.

How he got the name Rakan? That was a suggestion from Wukong. But, he knew the existence of doppelgangers and imposters, so he insisted his original name.

"Forget about the past, I'm here to wipe my sorrow away. Dragonus was my name, and Rakan is my name. Rakan von Dragonus, in full."

While he was still exploring the northern hemisphere, Rakan von Dragonus had little thoughts of settling down because he was constantly mourning his deceased lover. He needs allies to fight along with him, restore his magical abilities, and one day, he will come back as a real skywrath, taking control of the Ghastly Eyrie, and maintaining his diplomacy with the allies from the Runeterra.
