Chapter 2: Somewhere

Lux groaned as she picked herself up off the ground. She almost immediately started shivering as she realized how cold she was. The wind was blowing extremely fiercely, and the snow wasn't doing anything to help with the cold. Looking down, Lux noticed a three inch layer of snow, only disturbed by her footprints and where her body was laying.

The moonlight was somewhat bright, but the light mage (sorry, ordinary mage) decided she needed a little more, so she created a small ball of light in the palm of her hand. It provided a little warmth, but not nearly enough to keep away the freezing winds. As soon as she created it, Lux noticed her mana levels. They were quite low, and without the accelerated regeneration from the Fields, she wasn't sure how much she could do. Maybe a spell or two, but not much after that.

As the light pushed back the shadows, Lux was somewhat surprised that there was one Shadow it didn't. After thinking about it for a few seconds, she remembered that Talon had been right next to her and that it was rather likely that they'd end up in the same place if they had been teleported, which it appeared they had. Her thoughts were cut off as the cloaked figure beneath her stirred.

"Are you alright?" She asked. Despite the fact that he was a Noxian, and that when he was awake last he was trying to kill her, Lux knew she needed to help Talon so they could make it home. She had no idea where they were, and she didn't want to wander in an unfamiliar land all alone.

"Uuuuuwaaaaaaghh" the assassin groaned as he stood up and stretched his arms. "Yeah, just a few kinks." He finished stretching before asking "Do you have any idea where we are?"

"Nope." She replied, a little too cheerful for his generally dark mood. "It looks like there's a cliff into the sea over there, but I haven't checked it out. Actually, I was only awake about a minute before you."

"Great. No idea where we are. Snow on the ground. It was summer when we left, so we might be in Freljord. The trees look like a variant of Yeti pines." He grumbled to himself, just barely loud enough for his fellow champion to hear.

"Olaf once said that his home was always frozen, do you think we might be in Lokfar?"

"Possibly. Or we could be on an entirely new world."

"Either way, we'll have to stick together. As much as I hate Noxians, they'll be able to find us better if we stick together."

"Agreed." Talon reached towards his neckline, pulling out the Item Collar worn by all champions. "Hm. Didn't expect these to come with us." The necklaces were supposed to disappear when leaving the Fields, mainly because their effects were highly diminished. His had a Trinity Force, Mercury Treads, Brutalizer, and Vampiric Scepter.

Lux reached to her own neck, and pulled out her version. Hers held Ionian Boots of Lucidity, a Rod of Ages, and a Hextech Revolver. She also had two sight wards. She wondered if the wards would work outside the League. Probably not, they transmitted to summoners and not champions.

Talon's voice disrupted her private thoughts. "We should follow this cliff. We ought to find some sort of civilization along the shoreline, and I do not wish to spend the night outside in a blizzard." Lux wordlessly got up and followed the assassin as he turned and walked away, a small ball of light bobbing behind her for light.

The pair of champions was nearly silent, even in the snow and brush. It isn't really surprising Lux thought when she noticed the lack of noise outside the wind. We were both trained to be sneaky. As she glanced again and the swishing cloak of blades, she thought about how much she had lucked out with her companion. I could've been sent here with Renekton. Or Malzahar, or Cho 'Gath. At least I can tolerate Talon. I'd be hexing Draven out the ass if he was here!

Unbeknownst to the light mage, Talon was having very similar thoughts. It's a good thing I got stuck with Lux. She's the only Demacian that wouldn't attempt to kill me on sight. Plus, she's silent when she walks. Garen would make horrendous amounts of noise.

It was nearly half an hour before they began to see a light in the distance. Talon turned around to tell Lux to dim her light, but she had already done so. She's good he thought. If it weren't for the fact that we're from opposing city-states, I would've enjoyed working with her. The light now much less bright, they continued on towards the light. As they approached, the light split into windows, with most of it concentrated on what seemed to be the ground floor of a building.

"The building appears to be a castle. It's possible that they don't have any puretech or hextech here, but the lights are too bright and steady to be candles or torches. However, they could be magic." The assassin listed off his observations on the building, before looking expectantly at Lux. The Lady of Luminosity was confused for a moment, but quickly caught on to the fact that he wanted her point of view. Being a mage, it was an advantage over him while spying. The light mage took a tiny bit of her magic, and used it to feel the magic around her and inside the building.

"That's interesting. There's very little magic inside, and what is there is concentrated into seven people. All the others are normal." Lux stated as she ended the magical scan.

"So the light is puretech?" Talon asked. "And what about these magical people?"

"Yeah, puretech lighting. The people have different auras, they look like elementalists. One's got water, one has lightning, one is natural, and there are three clumped together with necrotic auras. The last one is the weakest magically, but it has some kind of different quality to it. All of them have the strange quality with varying strength though."

"So we have seven magicals of unknown training and discipline, mixed with a crowd of normals?"

"Yep. Wait, all three necros and the water are moving together." As soon as Lux said that, a small rectangle of light appeared on the side of the building, and four figures step out. The tallest figure seemed to be pushing them all forward, marching them to the woods.

Lux quickly shut off her light, and pulled Talon back before the group passed not ten feet in front of them. She was horrified to see the long, spike tipped tail dragging behind the man. That certainly wasn't good for the kids. In the moonlight she saw a dark line on the boy's shoulder, who she identified as the water elementalist. The injury wasn't bleeding, but the boy appeared to be in extreme pain. Did that … whatever it is … poison the boy? Once they were all passed, Lux started to creep through the brush, following the strange group.

Talon grabbed on to her leg, preventing her from moving very far. "What are you doing?" he hissed, attempting to be as quiet as possible.

"I'm going to help them." She replied. "I have no idea what that monster is, but it's not going to be any good for those kids. Plus, they're magical. They might be able to help us find somebody who can send us home." Talon's only response was to grunt his approval, and to release her leg. The Lady of Luminosity silently began to stalk after the four strangers, with the Blade's Shadow close behind her.

They ended up following the strangers back to the clearing they had arrived in; fortunately the falling snow had covered most traces of their previous presence. The man with the tail pulled out a small dark object, and spoke into it. Then he started describing some sort of grand plan to the children. The two younger ones, those filled with necrotic magics, didn't believe him. The older one, the water elementalist, seemed to know what he was talking about.

"So, the two kids are orphans, the teen is the 'Son of Poseidon' (whoever that is), and this man, creature, thing is working for someone named the general, who wants to resurrect ancient monsters to take over Olympus?" Lux asked, keeping her voice low to avoid detection. While it wasn't hard with the helicopter approaching, being heard by who she wanted to hear was. Talon nodded, and then as if waiting for some signal, the air and lightning elementalist burst out of nowhere and attacked the monstrous man.

As I get farther into the story, I'll probably have longer chapters. Expect larges changes in chapter length, though I'm going to keep them over 1000 words.

The (sorry, ordinary mage) is a reference to one of Lux's quotes Light mage? I'm just an ordinary mage." I also gave her the ability to sense magic because of her ability to reverse-engineer spells. I'm going to put the links to Lux and Talon's official backstories to clear up any confusion any of you might have.
