Tristain Academy of Magic
"Good work Miss Kirche! Now please take a seat." An old man said to a busty Red haired student, Kirche gave a smile to her teacher and went to take her seat, taking a small glance to a pink haired girl. The girl was called Louise Francoise Leblanc de la Vallière, or Louise for short, and right now…
She was scared.
Now don't get her wrong, she didn't show it to her classmate, after all, they would laugh at her face like always, that's why she has a rule that she would always follow.
The Rule of Steel
Since she was little, she would follow that rule, to not show weakness, but today was different. Today was a very special day for the second year's students from Tristain Magic School; it was the day that they would get a Familiar, a creature that would be bonded with you.
Now there wasn't a problem for most mages.
…
Louise wasn't most mages
She was a failure as a mage, for some reason she couldn't cast any of the elements, not fire, not wind, not earth and not even water! She was called "Zero" by her peers, and she hated it. Oh she hated it SO MUCH, but they were right, she was a failure.
BUT!
She would not show weakness! Today was the day that she would cast a perfect spell! She WILL get a beautiful and wise familiar!
"Did everyone do the ritual?"
"Miss Louise hasn't done it Professor Colbert!"
"Oh you damn cow!" Louise thought with anger. She could perfectly say that she didn't do it!
…
She was only waiting for everyone to leave.
"Oh! Miss Vallière, please come forward! Don't be shy!" Colbert encourages her, he knew of the reputation of Louise, and he couldn't help but feel pity for her. She was from a very well-known family, and being known as the failure of said family was really bad.
Louise only gave her teacher a nod before going to the summoning circle "All right Louise, you now the steps, you now the words, you can do this!" Louise thought to herself. When she got in position she started preparing, all the while she could hear the whispered the other nobles say behind her back
"Why is she even trying?"
"They should just expel her and be done with it."
"I am seriously getting worried for my health, one of this day I will explode like her magic."
The whispered continued and Louise was getting madder. With gritted teeth she started chanting.
"My servant that existed somewhere in this vast universe, my divine, beautiful, wise, powerful servant, heed my call, I wish from very bottom of my heart and add to my guidance and appear!"
BOOM!
A huge explosion came from the site, covering the ritual circle with smoke.
"Arg! That was bigger than normal! Louise just quit already!" A blond boy said swiping away the smoke from his face and his girlfriend. Everyone started shouting at her, and she only looked at the floor.
She failed…again.
"Silence!" Colbert order to the insulting noble, "If you really are nobles then act like it! Miss Vallière, I am so sorry for this, but it seems you failed the-"
"Beware the depths…" A very deep voice said, making everyone tense. Louise slowly turned to the ritual circle to see through the smoke tow glowing orange lights, the thing that unnerved her was that the glowing lights were really, REALLY high. After a moment of silence a HUGE piece of armor moved forward, it was easily about 8 feet tall with and ship anchor resting on his shoulder, the most disturbing fact were his eyes, glowing orange eyes were seen through the helmet of the armor but the face was covered in darkness.
The Giant Knight turned to look at all the students making them squirm and soon his gaze turned to Louise.
"Did Louise the Zero just summon a knight?"
"No, he can't be a knight; it looks more like a diving suit, a big one."
"Yeah, and also he doesn't carry a sword! But I got to admit he should be pretty strong to hold that anchor like nothing!"
"HA! Louise summoned a sailor! A commoner!"
With that comment the pink haired girl eyes went wide, something that the Giant noticed. She…summoned a commoner?!
"Oh no…everything but that! Professor Colbert! Could I try the ritual again? I refuse to have a commoner as my-!"
"You…are not Jenny…and yet you sound like her…" The deep voice of the Giant interrupted her and the students' laughter, that voice, it sent chills down her spine, and what type of language was that?
Colbert only cleared his voiced "I am sorry Louise, but you need to finish the ritual, you know the rules. Now go on! We are wasting too much time as it is." He proclaimed, Louise only looked at him for some seconds before closing her eyes in defeat, turning to look and the giant she motion him to kneel, since she couldn't even get near his head.
The giant did as he was told and looked at her; with closed eyes she started muttering the binding ritual before kissing his helmet, the giant stood up immediately and before he could said anything he started grunting, grabbing his right hand everyone saw the runes being written on his hand, soon it stop and the giant turn to look at Louise with anger in his eyes.
"Very good Louise! You have completed the ritual perfectly, if you wouldn't mind, could I see his runes?" Colbert asked her, she could only nod, while not the familiar she wanted, she did succeed, something that made her smile.
Colbert got near the giant, before he could ask for his hand the giant spoked. "You…Don't know what you just did" His deep voice explained, looking directly at her eyes "You are not Jenny and yet… you look like her…she knew what I am, but do you?" He questioned "Girl…you are in the deep end now…" With that said he grabbed his anchor that he left on the floor and heft it on his shoulder, walking slowly up to Louise he looked down at her and finally said "While you are not her…the resemblance is very similar…and seeing you hurt would be the same as seeing Jenny hurt…I will be you armor child." Going on one knee he looked at her pink eyes with is orange ones "My name is Nautilus, the Titan of the Depths…and if anyone hurts you…they will fear the oceans weight." He said it with a protective voice, Louise could only nod, and she didn't realize that everyone had left except Colbert.
Colbert got worried with that speech, he has seen many threats of death when he was a soldier, and the speech that the giant, Nautilus, just said was like a threat to anyone that dared to hurt her, being physically…or emotionally. He looked at the right hand of the Titan and memorized the runes before dismissing Louise with her familiar; he had much work to do.

Nautilus was looking at his surroundings, while he has seen castles in Demacia he still was in a little awe at this type of construct, but there were these annoying small doors and annoying looks in this place, all the children gave him look of surprise or disgust, why? He didn't know, but like Fizz and Nami he didn't cared. Soon Jen- "No…not Jenny, someone else" got in front of a room, she opened the door and went inside, Nautilus noticed that the door was smaller than the other ones, so with some shame, the Titan CRAWLED through the door and even then he got stuck. Hearing some grunting Louise turned to look at the door to see why her familiar was making those noises.
"…"
"…"
"Are you kidding me?" Louise said with a deadpan look on her face, to be honest it was kinda funny, seeing a 8 feet tall diving suit stuck on her door by his waist and Couldn't get out was funny as hell. With more grunting she heard Nautilus muttered.
"Come on, if you could get out of Morgana stun you can get out of this pitiful door!"
After thirty minutes, Nautilus finally got out of the door…while making a huge hole, courtesy of his anchor. Louise eye started to twitch; she didn't know what to say, after all, it was his size fault, not him. With a sigh Louise turned around and pointed at her closet.
"It's late, dress me!"
…
…
When she didn't hear anything she turned to look at the Titan only to see him looking at the window, seeing the two moons made Nautilus shake his head in amusement.
"Diana would love this place" He muttered, he knew he wasn't in Runeterra anymore, but he knows there are other dimensions, Zilean was kind enough to explain him about parallel dimensions, he was one of the few champions that was neutral with him, and Diana was one of his true friend, being also ignored and hated by some champions, unlike Illaoi that has something to do with the portal that took him
"Diana? Who is she?" Louise asked getting what she assumed was a surprise look from him; it was very difficult to know what expression he has with that suit of his. Shaking his head Nautilus turned around and started walking through her new door.
"Hey where are you going Familiar!" Louise asked with anger, she hated being ignore and her stupid familiar had done it TWICE!
"Forward…" He responded, gaining a confused look from the pink haired girl.
"Forward? What do you mean by that! And who gave you permission to leave my room!" She demanded, the Titan stopped and turned his head slowly to look at her, it doesn't matter how many times she looked at those eyes, they will always sent chills down her spine.
"The endless march…I can´t sleep for I had to find the guilty…when I found them I didn't drag them down…until they pay there is no rest…but I can't find them now. Since I am your armor, I will march forward, looking for people who would try to penetrate your armor to destroy the new bearer of the depth…" Nautilus finished, before turning around and continues on his way through the giant hole on her room.
Louise stood in shock and confusion on her face, "The endless march? New bearer of the depths?! What do you mean by that familiar?! Come back here or you will not have breakfast tomorrow you stupid Familiar!" She shouted only to receive silence in return, with a snarl she turned around and went to change; he would learn his lesson tomorrow morning.

"Forward, Forward…" Nautilus muttered under his breath looking at his surroundings, he didn't have his anchor since left it at the girls room "Didn't even ask for her name, the elder said something about Luis, no, that is a male name, hmm…" The Titan started talking to himself trying to remember the name of the tiny girl, so much in thought that he didn't realize that he got the attention of two nobles.
"What is that thing Sir Guiche?" A female voice said catching the attention of Nautilus, turning around slowly, he set his sight on a blond flamboyant boy and a brown haired girl, the blond boy gave him a disgusted look and turned to the female.
"Oh don't worry about him my dear Katie! He is only a big sailor, a commoner! Now, sailor! Go back to the Zero and leave us alone at once!" Guiche proclaimed, Nautilus only turned his orange glowing eyes at the blond idiot, making him shake a little, but he could see that he tried to be strong for the girl. Now that he remembered…this fool was in the place where he was summoned with a drill haired girl, in that time they looked to be together. Is this kid two timing?
Nautilus only grunt and turned around and moved forward, making Guiche release a breath of relief, those eyes were scary, and looking at them just unnerve the noble.
"Are you okay Sir Guiche?"
"Let's forget about that commoner my dear Katie. Now, where were we?" He said lovingly making Katie blush.
"Oh Guiche…"

That boy was really annoying, he was really tempted to use Riptide to kill the little bastard, but he had more important matters to attend, like exploring the castle. While he was walking he felt someone bump into him, hearing a small "eep!" he turned his gaze to the floor to see a woman with an outfit of a maid, with black hair and blue eyes. She was rubbing her behind, apparently she fell down pretty hard. Feeling bad Nautilus offered his huge hand to her. When the maid saw his giant hand she paled and when she looked at the source of said hand she almost started to cry.
Siesta was so doomed! She was only going to clean some clothes that some nobles asked to be cleaned; she didn't have any intention to crash into a knight! And not one so big! He could easily step on her body like nothing!
Nautilus was losing his patience and decides to give her some encouragement.
"I am not going to hurt you girl." He said in what he hoped was a soothing voice, pretty difficult with a voice as deep as the one he has. Siesta could only blink in confusion and after some hesitation she took his hand, surprisingly for her, the hand wasn´t cold as she thought with that armor, it was surprisingly warm and caring.
"Are you okay?" The Titan asked the maid, shaking her head with a small blush, making Nautilus curious as to why; she gave him a shy smile.
"Y-Yes milord! It was my fault after all! I wasn't paying attention!" She said, Nautilus got more confused, Milord?
"Milord? You think that I am important? Girl. I am not what you think I am, my name is Nautilus, The Titan of the Depths and you are?" He asked her, Siesta eyes went wide with surprise, he wasn't a knight? Now that she can see more clearly she could see that it was not armor what Nautilus wears, it was more like a diving suit, and she heard something about that from some nobles.
"Oh! You are the familiar the Miss Louise summoned right? My name is Siesta" She asked, Nautilus nod, happy to see that she gave him the name of the pink haired girl. He then turned his gaze to the floor, seeing a mess of clothes on the floor and an empty basket he realize what was her intention. The Titan went to his knees, surprising her, and started collecting the clothing.
"Oh! It is not necessary to help me Sir Nautilus!" Siesta exclaimed, but The Titan didn't pay any attention collecting the last piece of clothing he offered the basket full of clothes back to the maid.
"There is no problem, now if you wouldn't mind I need to go forward" Nautilus informed her, making her confused.
"Forward? Well if you want…I can make you company?"
…
Company?
Nautilus orange eyes went wide, it was the first time in his life (Well, the life as the Titan of the Depth) that someone offered him to make him company in his journey. With a siple nod he marched forward, with the maid on tow.
While following the Titan Siesta decided to ask him some questions to know him better, the rumors that the noble said weren't very nice, and seeing him in person made those entire rumors lie.
"So mister Nautilus?" Siesta asked, she received a grunt that told her he was listening, "Do…Do you have any stories to tell? I mean! If you don't want to tell me it is alright!" She quickly said. Nautilus only gave a small laugh and suddenly stopped, making Siesta almost crash again with him. Seeing the beautiful night Nautilus slowly sat down on a nearby fountain, the maid saw his hand motioning for her to follow, leaving the basket nearby she sat down in front of the giant.
Nautilus looked at her and saw curiosity, a lot of curiosity "Hmm…what can I tell her? My journey through revenge? My time were I met that fish and Marai? No…I know" Taking a deep breath, he started talking…
"Let me tell you the story…the story of a League with legends…"

HA! What an ending! This chapter was done way faster because I didn't think of any fighting scene; it was more of how Nautilus takes his new surroundings and introducing Louise. The next chapter will take more time, since I will need to see how to beat up Guiche :p
Please remember to tell me if you want Louise to be paired with someone, well, if you even want romance in this…
That would be it for now! Please leave a review about what you think, it fills me with motivation!
See you soon!
