Did you like the cliffhanger? Yes? or nah... (P.S. Sorry I couldn't include Darius and Lux! I wanted to, but i think 20 champions is the perfect even number... but let me know if you think 22 champions is okay...)

Chapter 2

The Baron's tail snaked out beneath the ground and cut through the earth like it was yogurt(don't ask why, just let it be yogurt). As if it had a mind of its own, the tail lashed out and wrapped itself around Quinn, who let out a scream that had been settling on her chest for the past few seconds.

Acid bubbled at the Baron's maws, hissing and spitting at Talon, who was glaring at the tail. He threw a dagger with quick precision. A squelching, sinking sound was heard as the dagger sunk into the Baron's purple skin. Shrieking, the Baron dropped Quinn, who landed in Talon's waiting arms with a ffump.

Without waiting for her to recover, he began to run, as the Baron let out a barrage of green acid spitballs, making the water sizzle and steam on contact. It's tail stretched out in one last attempt-

"Rgh!" Talon grunted as he leapt over the tail, kicking it away. Making it out of the river, he stood with Quinn in his arms, panting slightly. His arms unconsciously tightened around the Demacian woman, causing her to squeak and blush.

"P-put me down!" she let out a umph as Talon obliged, letting her fall unceremoniously on her butt. "Not like that!" she complained, but he took no notice as he sat himself down awkwardly.

Quinn sniffed the air. It smelled like burning clothes and...blood? She patted herself down, making sure she had no burns from the Baron's acid. No. She turned towards Talon slowly.

"Talon, are you h-"

"No." he returned bluntly without letting her finish. "You Demacians are too caring to be strong." Huffing, Quinn scooted closer to him defiantly. "Let me see if you have any burns," she repeated. "I smell burning clothes and blood." Realizing that he would not be able to defy the purple haired woman, he sighed and grumbled, "Whatever."

Blushing as she looked him over, her eyes traced his abs and muscled arms. Shaking her head, and trying to dispel the heat on her face, she said, "Let me see your feet." Talon hesitated. "Let me see your feet! Would you stop being so proud for one minute and let me help you?" Quinn grumbled. Sighing again, he exposed his feet.

Quinn gasped. They were red and angry, blistering and bleeding. "How-" "Don't you remember that there was acid in the river?" Talon spat. "Water doesn't just wash away the acid immediately, you know."

With her mouth shaped in a silent, "Oh", Quinn managed to get out, "Put you feet in the clean river water. I-I think I have bandages in my quiver." Talon raised his eyebrows but stuck his feet in the fresh river water. He hissed slightly, but stood still.

Rummaging through her arrows, Quinn found a small roll of bandages at the bottom of her quiver. Squatting down, she gently lifted Talon's left foot. She wrapped the white fabric around tightly until all red blistering skin was covered. She grasped her small hunting knife from her hip and cut the fabric, tying it off. She repeated this on his other foot with just as much, maybe even more, care.

Glancing up, she realized Talon was staring at her. "W-what?" she mumbled. Talon looked at the sky. "It's getting light," he said. "You should get back to your Demacians." He was right. The sun was rising and she had to get back to Jarvan and the others fast.

Standing up, she began walking away. "Don't strain your feet too much," she called. "Meet me here again tonight so I can replace your bandages."

Twisted Fate twirled his cards around his fingers, leaning on the side of the dragon pit. He was alone, and he liked being alone, unlike all those years ago when-

He shook his head, sighing.

Plop!

He lifted his head as he saw nothing, but a ripple in the water. It could be the scuttle crab, or maybe it was-

"Fate." a female voice rasped, invisible, near him.

His heart twitched, just a bit, when he remembered back when she used to do this.

"Evelynn."
