It was one hour before sunrise the next day, and Zed stood on a hilltop about one mile out from the Institute, watching the moon set, and, for once in many years, making no attampt to hid from the light.

'This 'quest' won't end well, there is no balance between light and shadow, and I could not bring it, even if it were possible.'

As Zed followed his thoughts, he turned towards the Institute, seeing somone standing at the ridge near the entrance, also gazing at the moon. Zed smiled, he thought he knew who that was. He used the shadows under the trees to jump towards the ridge, coming out of the treeline he greeted Diana, who stood looking away.

"You up so soon?"

Diana turned around, startled. She relaxed once she recognized Zed. "No, I couldn't sleep. So why not come out early?"

Zed grunted in reply, then turned toward the setting moon.

"Why were you listening 3 weeks ago?" Diana asked suddenly.

"Hmmm, what? Oooh..." Suddenly Zed remembered his eavesdropping on Akali and Diana.

'What how does she know? Wait, my foot!' He looked down at the moonlight on his foot, and went to answer, but hesitated. Instead, he took a different approach.

"Wait, so no beam of moonlight to kill me this time?"

"I didn't know it was then, but now I do. So I can still do it if your answer isn't sufficient."

"Ah" Zed said, but didn't elaborate. Finally, after a long silence he said: "I was wanting to talk to you. I had questions."

"About?"

"About this 'Light' stuff. I thought you might have answers."

Diana looked at Zed with a raised eyebrow, but didn't push him. Together the watched the sun rise, and then Zed heard the door to the entry hall open. They turned around to see Shen, Ryze and Taric come out.

Zed greeted Shen with a nod, and then turned to Ryze and Taric.

"Professr, Taric, what are you doing here?"

"Zed," Ryze answered, and Zed noticed he'd said his name, not his title. "I asked Taric to give you something new we are working on in the Crystal Caverns."

"Well then, I think I should explain these." Taric took out three gems, that looked like the viewing orbs the champions used to talk with each other.

"They look like our viewing crystals, the ones we use to talk to each other from our apartments, or to our friends at home." Diana was looking at the gems with interest.

"Yes, they do. But they are slightly different." Taric started to explain. "While your viewing crystals will allow you to talk to champions, friends at home, or even watch matches, they need set lines to work. For example, you couldn't call a friend who's not near a stationary relay crystal. With these, you can, theoretically, talk with everyone who has one of these anywhere. But they aren't really done yet, so they aren't fully reliable. But they're better than nothing."

He handed Shen Diana and Zed one each, then stepped back.

"Well, I wish you luck on your journey." With that, he turned and went back inside the Institute.

Authors note: Okay, short, but good, or something like that. As always, read, write reviews, and so on.

Now to a guest review, yes, i'm absolutely aware of how rediculous this storyline actually is, but its a fanFICTION of a FANTASY game, why shouldn't it be absolutely ridiculous? and to Zed not having any character, it is my first fanfic, so I'm trying to get the hang of that and I hope it'll get better.

P.S. I don't want to make the chapter shorter, i just wanted to upload something so you know I'm still here
