Hi guys. This one will be about Nasus, like I had promised in the previous chapter. I got another request to write one about Poppy. I promise I will write it, but I cannot tell when, since I really can't think of a story about poppy, for now at least. So the next chapter will remain a secret.. Unless some of you make a new request that inspires me to write about that one first. Well enough talking, you can read now!

I walked. Through the eternal sands of Shurima. The sun's bright light piercing through me.I have seen many things. Many of them no one else would ever want to see. They will be buried deep into my mind. Like Shurima. I regret what I have done. The things I did to get ascended. I was a hero to the people of Shurima. But I am no such thing. Everyone has a story.

And this is mine.

Many ages ago, when Shurima was still glorious, we faced a threat. What the threat exactly was, I can't say. Me and my brother Renekton decided to fight back. We faced the Sun Disc. It was ancient, even back then. The Disc reflected the light upon us. My brother disappeared first, and seconds later I too, disappeared. But when I opened my eyes, I was somewhere, a place indescribable. Stars were everywhere. I was floating. My brother wasn't there, just the disc. Many times bigger than I am. It talked to me.

''You are the chosen one. Nasus.''

''Why me? Where am I? Where is my brother?''

''Not so many question at a time, Nasus. You only need to know I have chosen you.''

''And why not my brother?''

''….He will have a, rather unfortunate future. But let us talk about you. I want to see if you really are as great as the prophesies said.''

Light was surrounding me. I was soon in a new place. This time in a market. People were everywhere. The Sun Disc was floating there, like it always did.

''Your first test, Nasus.''

I looked around. I didn't see anyone noticing it talking to me.

''I want you to watch.''

''Watch? What?''

''You will see.''

The Disc started to glow. It glowed brighter and brighter. People started to notice. It was starting to get hotter. Then it happened. A large explosion occurred. A blinding light following, and destroying everything it touched. People started to run. But no one survived. Everything surrounding me disappeared. Nothing but sand. All those people, gone.

And there was nothing I could do.

''How does it feel?''

''What? Cooperating with you, and you then killed everyone?''

''Calm down Nasus. I am asking you; how does it feel to feel helpless?''

I was silent. I didn't show much anger, but I was boiling on the inside. It wouldn't be long until I would explode.

''I ask again, how does it feel? Or rather, do you accept it? Do you accept your fate?''

I did not move. This was probably the hardest question I have ever been asked to answer.

''…Yes.''

Silence.

''Good. You are one step closer. Now, the next test.''

''Really? Are you talking about more steps when all these people are dead-''

''They are not dead, Nasus. This was nothing but a simulation I created.''

Light blinded me again. When it disappeared I opened my eyes again. I was in a new place again. This time in the throne room of the emperor. The emperor sat there, with his little son standing next to him. Azir.

''Nasus, this will be your second last test. Are you ready?''

''To do what?''

''I will take that as a yes.''

The rooftop fell. I merely managed to dodge it in time. A giant snake came down the rooftop. Flowing like water. The guards charged at the beats, but when they even touched it with spears, they turned into stone. Statues, standing still.

''Your mission is to eliminate the snake. Protect his highness, and kill it. Of course, without dying yourself.''

The snake hissed and slowly flowed toward the emperor. Azir hiding behind his father and emperor. The emperor did not show a sign of fear. The snake bowed down and opened his mouth to eat them. I had to do something. I looked around and ran toward the wall. A big golden war axe was lying there. I picked it up and prepared to charge at the snake, until I realized I couldn't touch it. The snake's fangs were just about to touch the emperor. I looked around again. The guards were turned into statues, but their weapons aren't. I ran toward the closest one and grabbed the spear out of their hands. I aimed, and threw the spear into one of the snake's eyes. The snake hissed loudly and turned around to face me. The spear fell of the eye. It's green eyes turned red. Seemed I pissed it off. I ran away as fast as my legs could. The snake pursuing me, and rapidly closing in. I couldn't run far since it would catch up. I had an idea. I ran north. Into the desert. I avoided the crowded streets and entered the desert, where no one was. I stopped, and so did the snake. We were in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but sand. He stood a few hundred feet away. I focused. The power of my body slowly moved toward my axe. It started to glow green. I opened my eyes, also glowing green and lifted the axe into the air, and let it fall onto the sand, a powerful force, almost knocking me away. The sand under the snake started to fall. The snake hissed again and tried to reach me, but failed as he fell with the sand, falling into darkness.

''Well done, Nasus.''

''Thank you.''

''That was it then. Congratulations on your ascension.''

''Wait, but you said this one was the second last one.''

''….You do have a good memory. Yes I did say that. But the third test, you have to do it alone. I cannot mentor you.''

''Why?''

''Because it will be a hard mission, next to impossible to complete.''

''What do I have to do then?''

''When you wake up again, you will be back into your world. You will face dangers, and heartbreaking decisions that will lie onto your shoulders. There will be times you are depressed and there will be times that you regret what you have done. But I promise you, the time will come you will be glad. There will be a time where you are proud of yourself. There will also be times, that I cannot prophesize. You will be on your own. I trust you will make the right choices.''

''What do you mean with that?''

''That I will entrust the tile, 'Curator of the Sands', to you. You will protect Shurima in its darkest hour. It will be a long journey, but I believe in you. I know you will gallop into a bright future. If you are lost, remember this:

No dawn comes without darkness.
