Not so far from there, somewhere in the surrounding woods, Lucian was waking up too. Through the leaves, the sun came tickling his face, until he opened his eyes and moved his body to sit against a trunk. He didn't know where he was, nor how he ended up being here. He took some time to feel a little better, and when he heard the river he felt thirsty. He stood up, walked somewhere trusting his ears, and arriving to the source of the sound he took some long swallows of water. And then, he heard a familiar voice. A voice he hated more than anything else, a voice that reminded him the reason behind everything he does, a voice that was still turning his blood to ice whenever he heard it. Thresh. He was here too ! He immediately turned around and hid behind a bush, already focusing on how he could kill his sworn enemy and take revenge on this creature from hell.
He saw a shadow, his shadow. He looked around, found a very sharp stone, and took it in his hand. He then walked slowly towards the one that destroyed his life, behind his back, swift like he always was. He was holding the rock so strong that he was hurting the palm of his hand, without even noticing. Right now, nothing could stop him from realizing the only goal left in his existence. He was about to free himself from all this horrible part of his life, from all these thoughts and nightmares that haunt him every time he closes his eyes…
He stopped. He just heard another voice, with the same kind of ghostly-depth, and as he looked a little further he saw a big horse, and he understood it was in fact Hecarim. That's when he reminded, that he was in a game right before he forgot everything and woke up in this green forest. He also remembered that Thresh and him were on the same team… He felt his heart was breaking, all the hope he had tree seconds before, it was gone. He could not kill Thresh, not during a game… It was written in the rules, and Lucian was not the kind to infringe the rules.
He dropped the stone, his legs were shaking, and he fell on his knees. His mind was a tragic mess, he was fighting really hard with all the thoughts that were coming to his head, and he finally decided to run, as far as he could from this voice and from all the memories inside his heart.
Sejuani knew she was dreaming. She was always having that same dream, again and again, every single night since… she didn't even know when it had started. But now, no matter what she tried to do, every time she woke up she couldn't help but cry.
In her dreams, she is walking along the river with Ashe, in silence, until they reach a waterfall. Remaining silent, they look at the water, at the rocks around, so high, thinking that they have never moved, and that they will stay like this forever…. After a moment like that, Sejuani takes Ashe's hand and starts running to the waterfall, until they disappear under the water… and reappear in a cave on the other side. That's where she uses all the courage she has and tells her rival all the love she feels, she has always felt for her, since the very beginning…
Sejuani woke up in tears, her heart aching and dying just like every morning. But this time, after thirty minutes of sobbing and hate for her own feelings, she open her eyes and looked around.
Everything was so green, so natural, so special ! So… different from the rift.
« What is this place ? » she asked to herself before she remembered her dear companion.
« Bristle ? Where are you? » she called, first carefully, and then more and more loudly, with all the power of her throat, with all her lungs, until she could not breath anymore. But there was no response. Bristle could not hear her. She wanted to cry, again, because it was the most important creature in her life, like a brother, a best friend. She grew up with him, she learned everything with him, and even if he was just an animal, the looks he was giving to his master were comprehensive, friendly and supportive, almost like a real human. Losing him was like losing a part of her family to Sejuani, and even like losing a part of her soul.
She wanted to cry, but there were no tears left in her eyes, her body was sick of crying all the time, and it was totally dry. So, after running one more hour, she decided to let it go, and tried to find anything to drink, eat, or any living soul she could find.
