When I awoke, there was some kind of an uproar within the institute. Something about a ball in Ionia, a masquerade and a scandal. I went to the dining hall for breakfast, my eyes scan the room. I see Warwick sitting next to Singed, I wonder if singed always has to carry that big container of poison around even if it's not on the battlefield. I pick up some oatmeal with slices of banana in it. I chuckle to myself "no expects the banana" I think to myself. I ponder a bit about where to sit, I almost felt like sitting with Warwick, but I brushed that idea away quickly.

"Hey Raka!" I hear someone shout.

I turn to the voice, it's Lulu who is sitting with Veigar. Lulu, surprisingly is good company although it's hard to understand her sometimes.

"Hey come sit with us, there is plenty of room!" She smiles a purple smile

I walk over to their table and sit, it would be rude of me to decline. I feel a little uneasy being so close to Veigar though. The many times in which he has killed me on the rift come to mind. I Shudder.

"Whats wrong? Cold? Oh! I can turn you into a squirrel and you can fit in my hat! I bet it's nice and warm!" Lulu says honestly trying to help.

"Oh um, thank you, but no thanks" I say quickly as she already raised her staff.

"Oh? Okay" she says enthusiastically.

I eat in silence as Lulu and Veigar talk to each other. Something about dark arts, evil squirrels and a tulip named Steve. I overhear a conversation from the table next to us.

"Can you believe it? Sona of all champions. I never expected this from her."

"I know right! I am so proud."

I turn to look at the two champions talking, Ekko and Jinx.

"I mean Jhin is some hot stuff, he is definitely not boring. But Sona! She is tame as they get! This is awesome." Jinx laughs

"I don't think it's very funny, hundreds died" Ekko interjected.

"I don't mean to impose. But what about Sona?" I ask them.

"Oh? You don't know, people have been talking about it since last night! It was quite the scene" Jinx giggled.

"It was truly evil!" Veigar laughed and Jinx gave him a high five.

"What was? What happened?" I asked again.

"Oh something about Sona aiding Jhin to kill a ballroom full of people" Lulu said not interested in the subject but more interested in turning her cereal into tadpoles.

I looked at Lulu then to Ekko, surely he is one of reason and can explain further. He seemed to catch on to my eagerness and he groans. His arms which were behind his head as he was relaxing come down onto the table. One hand in a fist the other laid flat.

"Okay, this is what happened. There was a ball, a masquerade at Sona's mansion in Ionia. Many were invited. She was due to perform a concert there, apparently Jhin asked her to the dance. That's where Jhin killed many, like he always does, and Sona played on behalf of Jhin. She did nothing to stop it." Ekko explained.

"Isn't it great!" Jinx laughed and took a bite of bread.

"I meamph Shona of all peapal" she spoke while chewing.

She swallows "The institute is trying to cover it up. You know good champions are hard to come by."

I turn around, suddenly not very interested in my banana oatmeal. Sona? A killer? That's not really like her and with a man who killed her nonetheless. I helped to save her, Zed,Vi and Garen. Sona and Jhin are champions, and champions have a bit of an immunity when it comes to law. The institute just covers everything. I Get up and take my tray and give it to the dishwashers before leaving the dining hall. I head to the garden, a breath of fresh air would do me good. Along the way I see the two notorious people, Jhin and Sona, walking together to the dining hall. I glance at Sona and she met my gaze with her eyes. I looked down and away sadly and continued walking.

I could hear Jhin talking "...talking about it….marvelous" is all I can make out.

I found myself sitting in the gazebo which was covered in grapevines. My eyes were wet and I could only stare at the ground beneath my hooves.

"Sona...My friend..why?" I mumbled to myself.

After a few short seconds I felt someone sit down next to me. Startled I quickly wiped my tears and looked up at who my unwanted quest was. To my surprise it was Warwick.

"Soraka, why are you out here crying" he said with his voice which always seems to be a low growl.

"I…. Sona…" I manage to say after a long agonizing minute.

"I heard." he says.

"Why would she do this? She is a healer like me!" I couldn't hold back my tears.

That's when Warwick did something unexpected and out of character for him. He hugged me and then all I could think about was how warm his fur was. We stayed there, the man who tried to kill me, and the girl foolish enough to believe him. He just held me, he could've killed me right then and there but he didn't. He actually tried to console me as I sobbed into his chest. I soon felt myself getting sleepy.

"Warwick" I say softly before closing my eyes, the fatigue of crying and not eating overcoming me as I slipped into unconsciousness.
