"Please sit." Zilean gestured both me Sena to sit on the floor as He went to pick up something, making his way back to the top of the staircase leading to the top of tower.
I craved a challenge not so much an adventure. I would prefer battling the greatest opponent right this second than have to deal with any more of his underlings. Some people might say that does not make much of a story, not even close to a good one at that-but faced with the same situation I think you will do the same. The era of adventurers ended a long time ago there is not a single living adventurer wanting just the thrill of adventure-they wanted fame and fortune.
How mankind's morale and priorities devolved is beyond me.
Zilean made his way down from the staircase while holding something that looked like an orb. It glow the same color as his eyes. Zilean look excited as he presented it to both mine and Sena's face.
"What am I suppose to be looking at here?" I asked him, as I tilted my head back in boredom
"It is your destiny…"
"Excuse me?" I asked in a surprised manner.
"You are a great hero."
In classical fairytales the phrase "It is your destiny" ensured one thing either: I am going to be turned into a legend who goes on a legendary adventure, which people will tell their children for millenniums to come or this story will take a turn for the cliché. I am very sure it is the second one.
The ball showed an image of something terrifying…
The image flipped from image to image, it showed noxus, demacia, piltover, zaun-every country that was in runeterra completely decimated. The corpses of citizens and soldiers alike filled the streets as a fog engulfed them.
"It is the future…without your help…."
"What do you mean?"
I am pretty sure I am not that important that the whole world would fall if I did not become a hero.
"this is the future without you uniting everyone…."
He cleared his throat and prepared himself as he began adjusting the red scarf from his neck into a much more comfortable position.
"in the near future, there is going to be a war I can not tell you who caused the war and who our opponent Is because it would lead you to an alternate timeline where you will run away…not because of fear but because of something much more deeper."
I guess this is going nowhere.
"In your travels you will encounter people that you will help, this people are called legends. And soon after your journey ends they will make an organization called the league of legends. It will consist of all the people that you have helped in your journey and because of you they would fight the enemies who seeks to destroy all."
Why was he telling me all of this?
"But in this timeline, your presence is the most crucial we can not afford you to even miss a single legend or else there would be much bloodshed. So this is where Sena Elma's presence comes into play."
Sena Elma, So I guess that was Sena's full name. I looked at her, her face still melancholic as ever.
"Sena is able to transport you anywhere in runeterra, so that you can encounter all the legends."
If she was able to transport why didn't she just transport me here?
I sighed, the image was terrifying I hate to think that innocent lives would just be taken so easily and brutally. Was this the future without me? In an alternate timeline was I some pushover that everyone went to when they were in trouble? But I should be a pushover wasn't I? Without me this the image will become a reality. My mind was becoming restless but I remembered I had to ask something
"Zilean, Sena told me you would explain this…this strength." I announced as Zilean tightened his red scarf to his neck.
"this is an event I called "destiny's effect" it only happens to people like me and you who travel back in time. It is when the other timeline individual gets sucked into the body of the individual which originally inhabits the timeline. They become stronger because they gain everything the other one had. Be it memory, intelligence, strength-you get the idea."
He explained the situation with flying colors as he looked very proud of himself.
"But, I got this when I fought something in the caves."
"Someday, when you are ready. Ok, my boy."
I guess he can read me a look a book didn't he? I was afraid that it was true…
"I have no choice but to accept, don't I?"
Zilean nooded as Elma held my hands with her soft hands and began teleporting me.
So here is the start of my adventure, my adventure to unite the legends starts right now.
I opened my eyes looking at my surroundings, I was in a very dense forest, it almost looked abandoned. The forest was normal but something gave me an eerie feeling of dread. Sena was no longer with me I guess she will just watch in the sidelines as I try to fulfill my destiny in uniting the legends or some cliché premise like that.
"Tibbers , where are you tibbers!" A voice of a little girl called out from the dense bushes.
"Hey mister, Have you seen my bear tibbers?" She asked me
The little girl had purple hair, green eyes that circles of fatigues present, thin lips and wore something a very sweet girl would wear complete with animal ears and backpack.
I was still groggy, but something told me that I should answer her.
"I'm sorry but I haven't seen it around."
Her eyes began watering as she hugged herself tighter
"Tib..tib…tibbers, where are you?!" She began sobbing
"Don't worry I'll help you find your bear-thing?" I announced
"You will, mister?"
Her eyes began glistening as she looked at me with her emerald green eyes looking at me like I was a good person…if she only knew…
"Come on mister, let's find tibbers together."
She began pulling my right hand with both of her hands as she pulled me excitedly. Don't think for a second that I was a good person. She was part of the legends and I am supposed to help them to stop this all out war that was supposed to come. She was more of a nuisance and a bother that's why I helped her…I wasn't a hero, I am not even a good person…don't be fooled.
