Hello again, hello and welcome, come on come in take a seat, your just in time for the next part of the story, now if I remember correctly….
Kirran, one of the top summoners in the institute stood examining the screen over and over and over again quickly rewinding, to try to see just what had happened, who had been there, who had stolen from them, who would be bold enough to steal from the institute of war, He paid close attention to the hooded figure as it turned and walked away, it's face shrouded by the darkness of the watching area, all that he could make out was a long streak of blonde hair jutting out of the hood. He rubbed his chin.
"Just who are you?" he spoke to himself.
"Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness Kirran" Kirran turned seeing Miss Fortune enter the room.
"What took you so long?" she smiled and giggled.
"Oh you know me, I love to keep'em waiting" he glared at her.
"Your tricks don't work on Miss Fortune, you'd do well to remember that" her face went from cheerful to straight.
"How could I forget" Nearly no man could resist her charms, Kirran and Gangplank were the first to be able to resist her and she hated it.
"Now do you have anything for me?" she sighed.
"No unfortunately"
"No, No, what do you mean no!"
"I mean I don't know anything, I've looked everywhere talked to everybody who might have seen the hooded person, nothing like they've suddenly gotten amnesia, or they just so happened to look the other way when they approached". Kirran punched the wall nearby.
"Damit, Damit, fine I'll up your payment if you can just find out who that is" he spoke motioning towards the screen
"Look everywhere, talk to everyone, I don't care just find this person!" Miss fortune smiled.
"If my payment is going up, I'll look everywhere and anywhere!" She turned and left, Kirran looked at the screen, he needed to find this person, to be able to do so much, with so much as no one noticing, he needed that power, more than anything.
Sivir's P.O.V
Sivir clutched the ceiling beams tightly as Kirran left, god he was obsessed, she gently let herself down, and went over to the console, erasing the data stored on it and anything else that had Eminita in it. As Azir ordered, he didn't want anyone finding out who she was. She hit a few keys and was about to purge; however the door creaked yet again. She shot up back into the rafters clinging desperately to the beams; she looked down to see…Malzahar?
He approached the console, hitting a few keys and bringing up the footage.
"Yes…Yes I knew it…it just had to be" he inserted a disk and began a data transfer. Sivr quickly darted to the next rafter when her grip began to weaken. Malzahar didn't notice.
"Yes…I'm coming for you Emmi, I'll find you, please just wait a little longer" he purged the data once the download was done and left, Sivr fell to the ground once Malzahar was gone, she sat up rubbing her face, Azir wasn't going to like this.
The next day
Azir's P.O.V
Azir stepped towards the Carriage, Eminita at his side she was well disguised, behind them was Nasus he gripped his axe tightly, there were many JoJ journalist snapping pictures of them; no doubt they would speculate a lover or some other kind of nonsense.
"You shouldn't be so tense, they'll notice it" Eminita's voice was calm and soothing it relaxed him with ease. He nodded. Once they reached the carriage Azir opened the door allowing Eminita to enter before him, he then entered followed by Nasus; Sivr had gotten in before them it had seemed.
"Well, glad that nonsense is over with" a small slot opened up and the driver spoke.
"Where to my Lord" Azir smiled.
"Home" the driver nodded and the slot closed, they took off.
"Home….Azir do you mean" he nodded.
"Indeed, it is time for us…to return to Shurima, time to go home" Eminita wasn't sure how to feel about going back to the place she abandoned, but she would try it was the least she could do.
For the first part of the journey it was just happy conversation and the occasional game, it was a good thing Sivir had a deck of cards with her. They played poker and blackjack as well as a number of other card games, during the games that involved gambling Nasus seemed clueless.
"Read it and weep" Sivr played a straight with a smug grin. Azir sighed folding as did Eminita however Nasus had no idea about how the game was played.
"Um….I have; these cards" he showed his hand showing a royal flush, Sivir's grin disappeared and both Azir and Eminita began to laugh.
"Um…did I do well?" Nasus asked sounding very confused. The rest of the ride was a mix of sleeping, card games and just talking.
Sometime later
"Emmi, come on Emmi time to get up" Azir shook Eminita who stirred and awoke; she quickly sat up and stretched. Fate protested as she did, she gave the cat an apologetic look and stroked his fur.
"We there already" Azir smiled.
"No not quite yet, this is as far as the carriage will take us" she looked out the window to see buildings. She stood and left the carriage squinting at the midday sun, it was quite a nice day, Nasus stood nearby a large crowd gathered nearby not straying too far from the group or too close to the carriage, none brave enough to approach Nasus or Azir, however Eminita noticed that Sivir was missing.
"Azir, where is Sivir?"
"This was once her home, she has gone to find us a way to get to Shurima from here" she nodded slightly, she smiled.
"Then this is a perfect time to explore, we have both been gone for so long, let us see what the world has become while we slept" Azir could do little but go along with her, they walked along the winding roads of the city, the hot sandstone under their feet, they then came along to a large market place, bustling with activity people rushing back and forward buying and selling, it was a pleasant sight. Azir stood next to her his armour shone brilliantly in the sun, Nasus stood behind them tense as ever as he stood guard.
"Come Azir let's buy some things!" she gripped his hand and ran off towards a stall; this one was selling trinkets and jewellery.
"Ah hello there, miss might I interest you in some fine desert jewels?" Azir sighed, seemed as if they'd be here for a while.
Sivir's P.O.V
Sivir sighed as she tried to bargain with the merchant.
"Listen I understand you've got to make a living somehow, but that price is just too much" the merchant shook his head.
"No, No, No I can't go any lower, not even for a Champion of the League"
"You'd not only be providing for a League champion, but the Ruler of all Shurima"
"Bah Shurima, a dead empire, oh sure Azir may be back, but that doesn't mean a thing"
"And I'm sure you've heard of the riches hidden away in Shurima"
"Yes and I've also heard what happened to the last person who tried to take from the Shuriman tombs, I've no intention of becoming like Cassiopeia" Sivir sighed and bid Farwell to the merchant, it was clear she would get nowhere with him, however as she went to leave she heard a voice.
"Um…Excuse me Sivir?" She turned to see a relatively well dressed young man, he seemed to be a Traveling merchant, but she was in no mood for signing autographs at the moment.
"Ugh, if you want an autograph or something, then I can't help you" he flinched.
"Oh, no, no, no I-I heard you arguing with the merchant back there, and well…I'm sorry to pry but, would I be correct in assuming you're going to the ancient city of Shurima?" She glanced around before answering.
"Say that I am; why would you be interested?" The Trader caught on quickly.
"Well if you were, then I'd propose you travel with me and my Caravan, we need some protection from the desert bandits, and I've always wanted to see Shurima, plus you'd be paid for the escort" Sivir rubbed her chin.
"Well If I was, then you'd know I'm traveling with others"
"The more the merrier" Sivir smiled, seems as if she'd found a way to get to Shurima without it costing them anything, she smiled.
"Very well, but you would have to talk to the other members of the group about it, come with me" he smiled he seemed exuberant at the prospect.
"O-Of course, lead the way"
Azir's P.O.V
Azir sat at a table, resting his head on his hand Nasus sitting next to him a steaming mug of coffee in his hand, Eminita sat not too far from them as well with her mug, Azir looked down at the vile black liquid before him.
"It looks horrid…."
"Its good trust me" Eminita spoke in a convincing tone, Nasus smirked and chuckled, Azir had seen him and Sivir drink this coffee before, and the ones they had weren't as black as this one.
"Why is it so….black?" Azir spoke sticking his finger in the liquid and stirring it a bit.
"Would you like some milk with it?" Azir seemed surprised at the prospect.
"Um…okay" Eminita called the waitress and got some milk for them, after pouring it in Azir's coffee he picked up the mug, sniffed it and then took a small sip. Azir coughed on it, as the bitter liquid ran down his throat.
"Ack….gods it's bitter" Eminita sighed.
"Well then we'll put sugar in it, how many?"
"Um…two?" She grabbed two small satchels with the words Sugar written on it, tearing them open and putting them in the mug. Azir stirred it again before taking another sip, it was marginally better than before.
"Oh wow, this is good" Azir spoke taking a large swig from the mug.
"Easy Azir, no need to down it all in one go" Eminita cautioned him, Nasus just smirked as Azir drank the coffee, Azir then examined their surroundings, as the passers-by seemed amazed that two League champions were drinking coffee in a small café.
Meanwhile
Kirran's P.O.V
Kirran sighed as he pulled the bucket of meat behind him, feeding the various void-lings they had was hardly a job for a summoner like him.
"Alright you mangy animals feeding time" he went past the cells tossing various chunks of meat into them, then he reached Renekton's cell…it was empty, as well as Xerath's.
"Oh gods" He ran off to raise the alarm.
Xearth's P.O.V
Xearth moved through the flowing field of grass, behind him was Renekton, being coaxed along, by the same small ball of light he had summoned a few days ago, they would have realised that they had escaped by now. He looked up towards the sun.
"I'm coming for you Eminita"
