The Mysterious Jhin

Chapter 7

Everyone sat down and listened to Shen tell his story. Everyone had a serious look on their face.

"I met him a long time ago, back when I was a kid…back when Zed was my brother and friend. They called him the Golden Demon. But his real name was Khada Jhin. He was famous for slaughtering travelers and farmsteads for fun. He was one of the maddest men I've ever encountered in my life. So the people went to my father for help, because my father is known for being the Great Master Kusho, owner of the Kusho temple and protector of Ionia. My father sent Zed and I out to investigate the crime scenes where Jhin murdered the people."

Shen paused for a moment. He looked like he was going to throw up. Shen swallowed cleared his throat and continued, "It was horrible. Zed and I have seen many dead people before but after seeing this…we both felt like throwing up," Shen gulped and continued, "We spent four years trying to bring down Jhin. Our quest changed us. My father, Zed, and I have never been more solemn our entire lives. Finally my father disguised himself as an artists and found Jhin at a Blossom Festival. We found out Jhin was just an ordinary man. Nothing special at all. We put him behind bars immediately. It was unbelievable how such a weak, scared man was able to kill so many people."

Shen looked at everyone's disbelieving faces. Shen breathed out, "Jhin turned out to be amazingly talented. He could dance, sing, and draw. He excelled at every subject too, like math, science, et cetera. We couldn't believe why such a talented man would become a murderer. He was also very shy and timid during his time in prison. Despite his looks, he's actually a madman that can deceive and kill you the chance he gets," Shen continued, "Then Ionia had that war with Noxia. Noxia invaded and killed everyone in our prison so we assumed Jhin was dead. But now it all makes sense now. Art. Skillful. Gold. The Golden Demon has returned to get his revenge. He has already killed Zed because Zed wanted to execute him long ago. And he killed Vi because she was the strongest protector of Piltover. We have to predict where he will strike next and capture him before he kills more."

Jayce stood up, "I already know. You said he killed Vi because she was the strongest protector of Piltover right? Killing the protector would leave the whole city vulnerable. He will probably target another protector now. And who do you think of when you think of a protector?"

Ezreal knew the answer immediately, "Garen Crownguard, the Might and Pride of Demacia."
