Then he remembered his promise to Galio. He immediately turned around and dashed out of the Institute, grabbing a large shield from the armory. When he reached the edge of the hill that the institute sat upon, he tossed the massive shield down, and leapt on top of it, using it like a snowboard. As he flew down the hill, he heard a shout. As he looked around, trying to locate the owner of the shout, he saw Master Yi, The Wuju Bladesman, dashing down the hill, swiftly approaching him from behind. Volibear roared a greeting.

"Hail Yi, how are you on this beautiful night" roared Volibear, narrowly dodging a tree.

"Hail Volibear, I am feeling mighty thirsty" grinned Yi

"Hahaha, to the Pentakill Inn" laughed Volibear, using a bent tree as a ramp, sending him flying through the air. Master Yi leapt after him, coming to light gently Volibear's shoulders. Volibear laughed, and aimed towards the Pentakill Inn. As the hill slowly flattened out and turned into cobbled streets, the shield started jumping and bouncing, heading straight for the Pentakill Inn.

"This is going to hurt, isn't it" asked Yi

"Yea, probably" replied Volibear.

"Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" the board hit a rut and stopped, launching Volibear and Yi into the air. Yi clung to Volibear's head as they bowled through the door of the pub, flying into the wall. Volibear pulled himself pulled himself up onto the bar.

"Pint of something strong" grinned Volibear as he pulled himself up to a seat on the bar. Volibear glanced over at Master Yi, who was stumbling around, shaking his head.

"Better make it two" he chuckled.

As the night wore on, more and more champions appeared, taking up more spots at the bar. Around midnight, Gragas made an appearance, bringing his homebrewed spirits, and starting a drinking contest. Ten minutes and fifty drinks later, only Gragas, Volibear, and Ashe were left. Ashe was holding her own against her two much larger opponents. Before the waitresses could bring out another round, Gragas pulled out a small barrel.

"This here be my special brew, this'll keep you warm all winter" he chuckled, whilst calling a waitress over

"Just mugs ma'beauty" grinned Gragas. When she had brought the three mugs over, he poured each of them a small glass. When asked why only that small of a glass, he laughed.

"This here drink will knock you off your feet" giggled Gragas, handing Ashe and Volibear their respective mugs. They all raised their glasses, and tipped them up. Gragas finished and tried to slam his mug down, but missed the table, tipping himself onto the floor. Volibear and Ashe finished at the same time. They set down their mugs, careful to not copy Gragas. Volibear and Ashe stared at each other, as the world began to spin. While they sat, the table decided to stand up and walk away, and the floor grabbed them and pulled them down. The last thing Volibear remembered was a giant purple monkey, flying past his head. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yi, grinning like an idiot, and shouting something. Volibear shook his head and tried to hear understand what Yi was saying, but all that he could make out was a dull roar. Volibear concentrated, trying to pull his mind back together. Eventually, he started making out parts of words,and the dull roar sharpened into a chant.

"Volibear! Volibear! Volibear!" The rafters shook as people pounded their drinks and boots on the floor, table, and anything else sturdy they could find. Volibear stared at Yi, looking for an explanation.

"Ashe dropped like a rock the second she had a sip. You were the last one standing" shouted Yi, pounding him on the back. Volibear grinned, before falling backwards again. After a round of butterbeer, Volibear, Yi, and Ashe stumbled out of the Pentakill Inn, giggling.

"Oh my god" giggled Ashe, "Did you see Graves, that was the funniest thing I have ever seen"

"Oh, you mean when he was hitting on Vi" chuckled Yi "'Hey babe, wanna see my other gun'"

"Hahahaha" roared Volibear "I feel bad for the Innkeeper, he has to replace that wall, and all those mugs"

They all giggled drunkenly, stumbling towards the Institute, causing a mighty rucuss. When they reached the doors, Volibear opened them slowly, sneaking in, and letting Yi and Ashe in.

"Good night Yi, Ashe" whispered Volibear, stumbling towards his room, using the massive pillars as supports. When he reached his room, room 95, he pressed his paw against the massive orb in the center of the gilded frame, opening the doors with a whisper. He stumbled, practically falling, into the room, where he landed on massive mattress, covered in red velvet. He rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling, thinking. Before he understood what had happened, it was morning, and there was someone pounding on his door. He hauled himself up out of bed, and walked to the door, pulling the massive handles, and flinging them open.

"What is it" he growled, staring straight at Alistar, the Minotaur. Alistar grunted and stood to the side allowing a slight, human, child to step forward. Her long purple and gold robe signified her as a summoner. She lifted her hood and stared at Volibear with a piercing gaze, signalling Alister that he could leave. Alistar simply grunted, before walking away.

"It's true" she whispered "everything they said is true"

"What" asked Volibear "who are they? What do they say"

She screamed with joy and leapt at him, taking him by surprise, and sending them both tumbling to the ground, the girl laughing the whole time.

"Everyone says you are fluffy, but I never expected it to be so true" she giggled, looking down at him. Volibear shook his head and slowly got up, hoisting the girl up by the back of her robe. Volibear squinted at her menacingly.

"Who are you" he asked, his voice like thunder

"hehehe, my name is Liliana Veres" she giggled, bowing "I am new to the league and wanted to meet a few of the champions that I have been researching" giggling again.

"Aaaaaaa, you are so fluffy" she screamed, leaping at him again. Volibear stood up and looked at her, trying not to laugh as she climbed round him and up his back, ending up on his shoulders.

"So" she said, staring down at him "Will you be willing to join me on my quest to become a great summoner"

Volibear chuckled to himself, shaking his massive head.

"What's in it for me" he asked, still chuckling

"I'll give you bacon" she said.

"Oh, well in that case, why not" chuckled Volibear, fully overcome with mirth.

"Yay" exclaimed Liliana "now, for a more pressing matter, which way to the mess hall, I am absolutely famished"

At his Volibear burst out laughing, falling to the floor and clutching his stomach

"Hey, what's so funny" pouted Liliana "I'm hungry"

Volibear recovered enough to stand, and picked her up, lifting her onto his shoulders.

"I'll take you there, but first, I have to meet someone" grinned Volibear. Volibear walked out of his room and down the hall, listening to Liliana chatter away. When he reached the main hall, he spotted Sona, and changed course, heading towards her. When he reached her, she turned around and smiled. Volibear bowed, and almost sent Liliana tumbling to the floor.

"Hey" she exclaimed "you could have warned me"

Volibear straightened up to see Sona silently giggling.

"What" He asked "do I have something in my teeth"

Sona shook her head and pointed to Liliana, who was still berating him, beating her tiny fists against his head.

"Hey, , are you listening to me" Liliana shouted in Volibear's ear. Volibear winced, rubbing his ringing ear.

"Yes I hear you, but I was talking to Sona, and didn't want to be interrupted" said Volibear

"Well I was talking to you first, so you should have waited until I was done to start a new conversation" scolded Liliana, crossing her arms. By this time, Sona was bent over, laughing silently, her slender frame shaking with the force of her mirth. Volibear just shook his massive head, almost dislodging Liliana again, provoking another round of berating and head pounding. Volibear sighed and waited for Sona to start breathing again, before heading off towards the mess hall. The mess hall was a cornucopia of sounds and smells, laughter and general ruckus accompanying the smell of baking bread and sweet cinnamon. Volibear walked over to the counter that all of the delicious smell wafted from, grabbing three platters, and started piling them with food.

"Ooh, I want some of that" said Liliana "and some of that, and that and that and…" pointing at half the things on the table. Volibear grinned and obliged Liliana's orders, while adding things to his plate. Sona stood silently beside them, giggling to herself, while following suit. When they had all picked what they wanted, Volibear turned to find a table.

"Hey Volibear, over here" He heard Yi shout from across the room. Volibear smiled to himself as he guided his little group towards Yi's table. As they approached the table, they saw Yi chatting animatedly with Vi and Caitlyn, who were trying not to laugh.

"So, after I had finished mopping up Urgot and Udyr, I chased down Veigar and Rengar, ending the game with a Pentakill" Said Yi.

"Wow, so manly" said Vi, trying to keep a straight face. Shyvana, who was sitting next to Yi, was laughing so hard that she was turning even redder than usual. Jarvan IV was sitting next to her, trying to calm her before the passed out. Yi was casually ignoring them both, still talking about the battle. Volibear sat down, and as Yi started talking about how he took on the dragon b himself. Volibear chimed in here.

"Oh yea, I remember this part. So, just as Yi is about to finish off the dragon, Lulu jumps out of a bush, making faces at Yi, who stops attacking the dragon, and charges after her. When he gets close, she dashes into a bush, and Yi here, charges after her. Inside the bush is a fully grown Cho'gath, whom Lulu has hugified. At this point, even I can tell Yi is scared. So he turns and runs like the wind, but Lulu comes back and turns him into a bunny. When Cho'gath caught him, he screamed like a girl. As if this wasn't enough, in his struggle to get away, his pants got caught, and ripped clean off." laughed Volibear. At this point, Vi could no longer contain her merriment, and burst out laughing, promptly falling off of her stool onto the floor, rolling around with her hands clutching her sides, laughing as tears rolled down her cheeks. Yi pouted, muttering "that's not what happened" to himself. As breakfast wore on, Shyvana and Jarvan left to go attend some business, and Caitlyn went to clean her equipment before her battle. When Yi had exhausted his repertoire of stories, Liliana pointed at him.

"Hey, Mr. Funny Beard, would you like to join me in my quest to become a powerful summoner" she asked. Yi looked at her and grinned.

"Hey Volibear, who's the squirt" grinned Yi, gesturing towards Liliana.

"Hey, who are you calling squirt" shouted Liliana, standing up on Volibear's head.

"This is Liliana, she is a new summoner, who asked me to join her" said Volibear, sitting Liliana down next to him, who promptly scurried up his back and sat on his shoulders again.

"And you agreed" laughed Yi

"She offered me bacon" replied Volibear sheepishly.

"Well squirt, why should I join you" asked Yi, barely concealing a smile.

"I told you not to call me SQUIRT" Shouted Liliana, leaping off Volibear's head. She flew through the air, landing a flying kick on Yi's face. Yi fell over backwards, stunned, as Liliana sat on him, punching his chest. Volibear reached over the table carefully and picked up Liliana by her hood, still kicking and punching.. While this whole episode was playing out, Sona was sitting next to Volibear, thoughtfully plucking notes on her etwahl, smiling to herself. When Liliana attacked Yi, she giggled to herself, and stood up, floating over towards the brewery. She signalled for a hearty pumpkin brew, and lightly picked up one of the mugs, before floating back to the table. Yi was standing up, furry on his face, and he was about to go berzerk, until Sona waved the drink under his nose.

"Ooooo, spiced pumpkin ale, hehehe" exclaimed Yi, giggling like a giddy schoolgirl.

"Heh, all is forgiven, mmmmmmmmm" said Yi, tipping up the mug, drinking half of it in one swig. Liliana looked at Sona.

"How did you know that would calm Beard down" she asked. Son winked and put a finger to her lips, before picking Liliana up off Volibear's shoulders and lifting her down into her lap. Liliana smiled as she looked up at Sona

"You know, you are really pretty, I can see why Mr. Fluffy likes you so much" said Liliana matter-of-factly. Volibear heard this last comment, and tied to ignore it, but still turned bright red. Sona giggled silently to herself, and started tickling Liliana, who giggled and squirmed, trying to get away from Sona's lithe fingers. Yi looked Liliana squirming, and sighed.

"Fine, I'll join you, squirt" sighed Yi. Suddenly, Liliana was flying through the air at Yi. Yi looked up just in time to see her, before she tackled him, bringing him to the ground again.

"Yay, Mr. Funny Beard is gonna play with us" giggled Liliana, hugging him. Yi blushed as he stood up, lifting Liliana up with him.

"Yea, well, um, heh" stuttered Yi "Aw, come here" he finally said, picking Liliana and swinging her around.

"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" exclaimed Liliana, swinging around in circles.
