Well, here is chapter 3 and some more info!

I made the story category general because I do want it to be a bit of everything: adventure, mystery, some romance, friendship. Another thing I've started to do is to have multiple things happening at once, different arcs. I'll try to keep it clear of where the story goes when it switches settings.

Anyway, here is some more filler and cliffhangers that I call a story, enjoy!


"Who are you?" Izuna said, standing with her back pressed against the door. Inside, she was freaking out but kept calm. The woman motioned for her to sit. The girl obliged.

"That's not important. Are you all ready to defend that pathetic city state that you belong to now?" The woman said, raising a hand to her face. She crossed her legs gracefully. What little bit of her face Izuna could see was clear, beautiful but very pale skin, looking almost white.

"I suppose so. Why are you here? I don't know who you are," Izuna said, crossing her arms.

"Everything will become clear when the time is right Izuna. You have the potential to become one of the strongest champions of the League and you waste your talents on being a summoner, it's sad to see wasted potential," she said, releasing a long, heavy sigh as she finished. "You could practically take over this place alongside me."

"I'm fine the way I am lady. Please leave me be, I have a match to prepare for tonight," Izuna said, standing up. She turned to open the door. She felt cold hands on her shoulders and saw the white face over her shoulder. She tried to tilt her head in an attempt to see her whole face but couldn't bring herself move at all.

"Lying will get you into trouble darling," the woman said. Izuna felt her skin tighten from the cold presence. "You won't be kept in the dark for long my dear." The woman's arms had wrapped around her neck.

"Just keep in mind: you don't have to be a summoner like these fools. You can be much more. Your powers could overwhelm even the strongest summoner in Valoran," she said, running her cold fingers down Izuna's warm cheek. "I suggest keeping this to yourself, unwanted attention could get you hurt, dear."

Izuna felt the hands disappear and she quickly turned around to respond. The woman had banished from her sights. Izuna immediately fell onto her knees and grabbed her arms. The shock of the situation finally hit her.

'How did she know I was lying?'


"Joey, you're still here?" A woman said, peering through a small opening in his classroom door.

"Still finishing up some personal things, why are you still here Catherine?" Joey said, turning on his chair to face the door. "Thought you would've been long gone."

A slender brown haired woman stood by the door still dressed in her robes from the ceremony. She was the teacher of the eleventh year students with a classroom near Joey's. She walked over and sat on the edge of his large, wooden desk.

"Same thing you're doing here," She responded, stretching hers arms. "I didn't have any time to finish my paperwork after the graduation, who could resist the free food?"

"Sounds like you," Joey responded, earning a glare from the slender woman.

"Still a romantic, I see? Still, it's always weird to see those brats in those robes ever year. You're going to have fun next year, one of the largest classes since the academy began is coming your way," Catherine said, making a slight face. "It's also hard to believe they beat us yesterday... I wasn't expecting it."

"It was. I had thought Izuna and Vi would've gone to the elder lizard first... But I don't think we did anything wrong. They were good together. I'm sure we will see their team again someday," Joey said, placing a framed picture on his desk. "Maybe we will get a chance to go against them again."

"It was nice getting the old team back together. Sure had been a while since I'd done anything but teach about summoning. Good thing Ashe didn't completely forget about me," The woman said, hopping off the desk. She moved over beside him and looked at the photo.

Joey finished packing whatever papers lingered inside his desk cabinets and slowly stood up. He swung his bag over his shoulder. He noticed what the woman was looking at.

"I didn't want to embarrass her," he said, looking at the picture. He picked it up again.

It was a small picture of Izuna and himself nine years ago during her first summer as a student and his as a teacher. They had gone to spend a few days in Piltover and discovered a small shop from a graduate student of Heimerdinger's Yordle Academy of Science and Progress who decided painting portraits took far too long. For the machine being a prototype, the so called 'picture' came out very clear.

"You two are too adorable," Catherine said, playfully pinching his lightly bearded cheeks. She motioned towards the door before pivoting on her heels back towards him. "Do you two want to have dinner at my place tomorrow?"

"Sure, that sounds nice. Thank you," Joey said, walking next to her.

His hand moved along the wall until it found the light switch, flicking it down and closing the door for the summer.


Izuna sat on her bed, half an hour after her encounter with the unknown woman. She had sat in silence and had only managed to change clothes. She hung her new robe on a hangar for whenever she would need it and put on a light dress that resembled Ashe's signature outfit.

After she wondered why she mainly owned dresses, she tossed herself on the bed.

"What is there to do now," she said to herself, yawning.

"Izuna?" came a voice, accompanied by a few knocks.

The pink haired girl jumped up, startled still. She moved to the door and slowly opened it, instantly becoming more relaxed.

"Good morning Izuna, did I wake you?" Her former classmate Melissa said, bowing down slightly.

"Uhh no, I was probably going to fall asleep out of boredom soon. Want to come in?" Izuna asked, moving aside, pulling the door open.

"Yes, thank you," the brunette girl said, walking inside.

"I'm sorry for the mess, I haven't had the time to clean," Izuna said, as the Ionian passed her.

"It's alright Joey," she joked at the fact that the room was near spotless, aside from a wrinkled bed.

Melissa had always dressed well. Izuna wasn't sure if she was dressed casually or formally; Ionian clothing always looked formal to her. It looked like a dress at a first glance but to a closer gaze it was a type called a kimono. She had seen Akali wearing a fancy one on occasion, moving swiftly as always despite it looking like it would obstruct movement. Melissa took a seat on the bed, crossing her legs as she sat.

"Are you enjoying your time without the worry of school, Izuna?" Melissa said, resting on her arms.

"Yeah. Kinda boring though, I was used to the routine of homework and sleep for so long now," Izuna said, leaning against her desk.

"I bet you're wondering why I came here so out of the blue," the Ionian said, running a hand through her hair and flashing a smile, tucking a strand behind her right ear. Izuna nodded with a small laugh. "I know we have rarely spoken throughout our years at the academy but I have always admired how you act during our matches. I don't doubt you got placed as high as Joey probably did. I was placed in middle bronze level."

Izuna opened up her envelope from the night before again and looked at it. The silver icon on top right of the small card shone in the dim lighting and she read under. It said 'SILVER II', something she hadn't noticed. She handed Melissa the card, who was raising her head slightly.

"I didn't expect anything less... You look adorable," Melissa said, after looking at the small picture on the top left of the license and then looking up at the blushing Izuna. "I was wondering if you would want to do ranked matches together. Two people can go in together unless there are five going in as a team."

"Of course, sounds fun," Izuna said, smiling. She wouldn't deny a chance to make a friend that she would be seeing often anyway.

"I wish we had had a chance to speak more during school. I didn't want to bother you; you always seemed so focused on your work so I left you alone," Melissa said, motioning for the to sit beside her. Izuna obliged, sitting on her bed.

"I was probably trying to ignore Jack. He never stopped talking to me and somehow our teachers would never tell him to be quiet," Izuna said, making a face as she sighed. He would also never admit he was entertaining the entire time, to anyone nor him.

"Are you interested in him?" The girl asked, turning to face her. Before Izuna could speak, Melissa's face was only about an inch away from hers. "You're eyes are a gorgeous shade of green."

"T-thanks," Izuna said, feeling herself blush. "I don't know. I've always been too preoccupied with my studies to think about relationships."

"Sounds like you, Ms. Top of the class," Melissa said, raising her arms and arching her back in a stretch. She released a yawn, quickly covering her mouth.

Izuna's eyes landed on her chest; staring in a bit of envy. With blue hair, Melissa could pass as a clone of Sona. She lowered her eyes onto her own chest. Even if she dressed like the frost archer, the Freljordian queen's curves and bust filled the dress more than she did. Melissa's left eye opened and she smirk, having read Izuna's envious green eyes like a book.

"Are you sure you're not just more into women than men?" Melissa said, giggling slightly. She brought her arms down onto the bed.

"N-no. I-I just," Izuna stuttered before being grabbed by the brunette.

The pink haired summoner was pushed down onto her bed and her new partner now hovered over her. Izuna could feel her heart beating each time it did as the Ionian seemed to come closer. Izuna gulped and closed her eyes.

In the dark, she felt her body lighten as the girl sat up and laughed lightly. Izuna opened her eyes to see Melissa sitting up, ready to stand.

"You're adorable Izuna, I will see you later," Melissa said, giggling slightly.

"O-okay," Izuna said, halfheartedly pulling herself up onto her elbows. "Goodbye Melissa."

"Call me Mel," The Ionian said, exiting the room with a wave.

Izuna laid back down and let out the breath she'd been holding for almost half a minute. Her face continued to feel warm until she closed her eyes and eventually fell asleep. Her first prolonged conversation with Mel sure had gone differently than she would have imagine.


The bright lights of Piltover shone outside of the window that the pink haired enforcer was leaning over. She sat on a rolling desk chair in Caitlyn's office as the sheriff was working on some paperwork; a task she had gotten used to doing alone while the enforcer bothered her. She looked up at the woman.

"Vi, what's wrong?" Caitlyn asked, sighing. Vi being extremely quiet: either something (or someone) was broken or something was bothering her.

"Do you know anything about that woman Izuna was talking about?" Vi asked, turning on her chair.

"A woman dressed in a robe with white hair. No, I don't Vi," Caitlyn said, resting her head on her palm. "Aside from seeing her there, I don't."

"I felt like I've seen her before. Somewhere," Vi began, crossing her arms.

"Maybe she was a champion. Many champions were there besides us, Vi," Caitlyn said, returning to her papers. "Maybe it was Sejuani and she didn't want anyone knowing that her hair was white."

"I don't pay attention to champions unless I'm directly against them Cait," Vi began. "She seemed to frail to fight the jungle monsters... Plus Sejuani doesn't seem very festive."

"Just because you haven't faced them doesn't mean they might not be able to... I remember a summoner that summoned Annie as the jungler," Caitlyn began, making a serious face. "Most of us were surprised it worked decently, that tiny pyro sure is versatile. What about top?"

"That rarely happens... Whenever it does I'm usually against that stupid alligator or that annoying jumping-dashing exile chick," Vi began, raising her arms. She pretended to swing her arms, pretending to be swinging a sword. "What is broken can be reforged blah blah." She said mockingly.

"I don't think that woman was Riven. Do you remember how short her hair is... And what do you have against Riven anyway?" Caitlyn asked, closing one eye slightly.

"She's so anno- that's not the point here! We need to keep an eye out, I want to go speak with Izuna tomorrow," Vi said, raising her feet onto Caitlyn's desk, knowing it agitated her. "If she felt creeped out, that's enough reason for me to look into it."

The sheriff gave her an annoyed look and Vi returned a giant smile. Her way of 'asking permission' almost never failed.

"A few days without your smashing through walls to do any task? Maybe Piltover will finally be able to pay off the construction workers that have to rebuild every week," Caitlyn said, jokingly. Vi gave her a sour look.

Her full proof way to get permission never came without an accented, witty remark either.


Izuna and Joey walked down the hall towards Catherine's room. Joey had told Izuna about her invitation and she immediately agreed to go. He had come to get her a few minutes before they were due at the room.

The pink haired girl stared at her father with a smile. He looked much more handsome when he wore something other than his robes. He wore a dark gray vest with a matching tie and simple black slacks. Izuna meanwhile stared at herself wondering if she had done the right decision by wearing the same thing from the previous night since she had immediately changed after Mel had left. Catherine had mentioned she liked it due to her affinity with Ashe and it wasn't too worn so she quickly agreed to herself it was a good decision.

"How's summer treating you so far? Only have a few more days till you can start practicing again," Joey asked, walking with his hands in his pockets. Aside from that, only the sounds of their shoes tapping as they walked filled the air.

"It's pretty boring. Melissa asked me to be her partner in ranked," Izuna responded.

"She's great. You'll work well with her. I'm sure her lane will always be cleared of wards. Personally, I think she should've been in Silver with you...but then again, I'm not a council member," Joey said, smiling. "Remember what I taught you: Warding is everyone's job."

"She seemed nice, a little odd though," Izuna said, remembering her...very forward actions. She felt herself begin to blush from the thoughts. She quickly shook her head. "Yeah, everyone drilled it into my head to always have a ward."

"Most people say they learned and still never do it... Here we are... You haven't seen Catherine in a while have you?" Joey asked, knocking on the door.

"I didn't see her at graduation or the celebration... Haven't seen her for months before that," Izuna said, shaking her head.

The woman quickly came to the door, letting out an aroma of pure delight. Izuna glanced at her sleek, black dress; a dress that Izuna was sure she wouldn't be able to wear due to her lacking in the breast department.

'Seems like every summoner and champion is busty... Well, maybe not Annie...yet.'

"Oh, Izuna, it's been so long since we've had a chance to talk, you looked great during graduation," Catherine said, giving the girl a tight hug, stopping the train of thoughts that would end up with a teenage Annie. After, she moved aside and the two entered the room.

The room seemed exactly like Izuna remembered it. Like her classroom, it was very clean and polished. The table had been set nicely, with a vase of some flowers in the center.

"Thank you, Ms. Catherine, and thank you for inviting us over," Izuna said, bowing slightly.

"No need to be so formal Izuna, you guys are like family to me," the woman said, walking over to the kitchen. "Take a seat, I will be right there."

Izuna quickly sat in one of the four seats and looked over at the small kitchen area. Catherine, followed by Joey, came out, holding an array of plates and a few cups. As Joey lowered the plates down, she could begin to smell the food underneath the cover. Catherine ducked back into the kitchen, returning with a bottle of wine, and both of the sat down in the remaining chairs.

As Catherine lifted the metal bowls that covered the food, Izuna found that she had guessed right. There was a variety of cooked meats and she quickly noticed the end pieces were heavily charred; her favorite style of cooked meat. Aside that was bread but not an ordinary bread; Ionian bread made by a the nine tailed fox herself. The woman always seemed to have some at her disposal, despite the long travel time from Ionia to the institute.

"This looks delicious, I forgot you could cook," Joey said, jokingly.

"Of course I can," she said, making a face at his joke. She turned to Izuna. "Joey told me you were placed in Silver. That's impressive."

"Yeah... Melissa and I agreed to be partners when the practice matches are open to us," Izuna said, as the woman passed the plate of food around. She smiled to herself, seeing the charred part had been left for her.

"I remember Mel. She did well when we faced each other," Catherine said, bringing a hand to her cheek. "It's nice to see a year with Joey didn't completely rot your brains."

"Hopefully they haven't forgotten anything they've learned," Joey said, ignoring her remark. "They'll need it now more than ever."

The room fell silent with the only sound being the forks and knives hitting the plates. Izuna ate slowly, like usual, until her eyes moved to the door as someone knocked. Everyone did the same as it broke the silence.

"I wonder who that could be..." Catherine said, looking surprised. Everyone was, it was pretty late.

The woman opened the door to reveal a tall, pink haired woman dressed in her usual armor.

"I need to talk with Izuna, is she here?" She asked Catherine.

"Vi, what happened?" Izuna asked, walking over to the door as soon as she saw the pink haired enforcer. Vi grabbed the girl's hand.

"I'll bring her back in a minute," Vi said, walking away with the girl.

"W-wait!" Catherine said, turning to Joey after the enforcer ran off. "Should we go after them?"

"No, Vi will keep her safe if anything happens," Joey began, remaining seated. "Must be pretty urgent to come here from Piltover at this hour."

"I guess... I hope everything is alright," Catherine said, walking back to her seat. "You sound pretty relaxed for someone who's daughter was taken by a champion in a split second."

"If a wall can't stop a dedicated Vi, what makes you think I can?" He said, smirking.


Vi slowed down at the small courtyard area where Izuna was a day ago. The girl took a seat and caught her breath. She hadn't been planning to run tonight. Vi stood in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Izuna asked.

"I can't get that worried feeling out of my head Izuna, that woman you saw in the crowd, she seemed too familiar to ignore," Vi said, crossing her arms. She sat beside the summoner. Her hand raised to her left cheek, covering the iconic tattoo on her face.

"I'll be okay Vi, don't worry. This is the safest place for a summoner to be, after all," Izuna replied, unsure of what really to say. She bit her tongue as she remembered what the woman had said.

"I suggest keeping this to yourself, unwanted attention could get you hurt, dear."

"I'm going to stay here for tonight, it's too late for me to go to Piltover tonight anyway," Vi said, pulling herself up. She extended her hand to the summoner, who grabbed it and stood up as well. "Mind me crashing with you for the night?"

"Of course not," Izuna said, smiling. She let out a yawn out of nowhere and turned around. "Guess I'll let Joey know that I'm going to bed early... We might have a match tomorrow."

"I guess this visit seemed kinda random and dumb huh?" Vi said, as they began to walk. "I randomly show up and be worried for no reason."

"Of course not! Thanks for worrying about me Vi..." Izuna said, sighing to herself. 'You don't know how safer I feel.'

The pink haired duo continued walking back into the darkened halls of the institute.
