Nearly two years had passed since last events. The Noxian Grand general had died and a new one had chosen. Grand General Jericho Swaine. But not only had Darkwill perish, but general Du Couteau had disappeared. And since the change of leadership, Katarina's bounty in Noxus had dropped, yet the numbers got higher and higher in the other countries. Her ambition lead her to killing more targets than only the ones she had to. Swain kept saying, that her loyalty is huge only until the ambition triggers and she disobey orders to prove herself as the best. He kept reminding her that being the most wanted and hated killer, doesn't make her the best assassin or Noxian, but in her mind she was doing the right thing, proving that she is better than her father. But she did not work alone. A young boy assassin by name of Talon kept assisting her, she saw him as two things only. Her little brother and an emotional punchbag. As she kept throwing all of her anger at him, meanwhile her sister had gone too far with her research in Shurima and gotten herself cursed. Now she was nothing more than a snake with a human torso and face. At first Noxians were scared of her. Her own sister kept her distance, but after some time she was accepted, now living in the Du Couteau manor as a princess, just as she did before.

Up the north in Ionia, rumor has it that little Irelia had grown up and taken up arms to the Noxian invaders, and that she was winning. Down at Demacia, general Crownguard, was assigned with the task to find the killer of the recently murdered Demacian royalty. And so he did, together with Ahri in an abandoned house. And one might think that all these deaths are on Katarina, but no. Jhin had left the inn to do some 'art' in Demacia and a few rich folks. Evelynn had left for the Shadow Isles and somehow lured Jax to follow her. Rumor is that Jax has been beating up creatures and humans for months now and that he enjoys it. And our Captain, well. He turned out to be the richest person in the world. As he doesn't have to pay taxes to any country and the fighting rings are usually illegal in Noxus and Demacia, the captain made a huge profit out of it. None knew how much he had, but it was sure that the golden bank in demacia had less than the hidden vault in the inn.

So the Captain Tom woke up to find out that his inn was covered with snow. Displeased of that, he quickly dressed up and ran out to pick some logs to start a fire. He was even more displeased to find out that his door hardly opens from the white wonder, he pushed as hard as he could until it opened. Just to get himself covered in snow. Now simply annoyed he dug to the side of the inn where he kept his logs, and took a few in hand.
"I'm never going to start a fire with these logs, they are all wet!" angrily he whispered to himself. When he entered the inn he placed the logs in their place and tried to find something to dry the logs with, the moment he went to the bar he heard a weird sound, then he turned around and so the logs burning.
"Hope that helped." a voice came proudly from one of tables.
"Now I see why your brother left you here Luxanna. You have magic." the captain said surprised.
"Please don't tell anyone, if the Demacian guard finds..." the captain interrupted her.
"The Demacian guard has no power here. I'm the only law and order. So don't worry. So now let me check my list and then I'll tell the boys to start making breakfast." Tom smiled and took his list from under the bar. He was annoyed to find out that he had only one guest in the inn. Without saying a word he went into the kitchen.

While everyone was distracted with their own thing the door of the inn opened slowly and after which it closed. Nobody was seen entering, but a strange smell appeared. Lux stopped reading her book and looked around, she saw nothing. She tough something was rotting near by and decided to go to the captain and inform him. After a few minutes when they came back the smell was gone. Confused the captain looked around, he found nothing. As he walked back to the bar he felt the smell too, coming from the door towards the guest rooms. So he followed the smell. Down the hallway he saw nothing, but the smell got worse and worse. The smell was clearly coming from one of the rooms. The captained found from which one.
"Oh Kat... please tell me you didn't leave a corpse in there." he mumbled to himself and opened the door. The room was perfectly clean, but the smell got even worse. The captain kept looking around then he noticed the wardrobe was a bit out of place. So he moved it away and found a hole in the wall.
"I'll kill her if she has a corpse hidden in there..." after he mumbled he went inside the hole. "Guess Kat had gotten some weight if I'm able to fit in the hole she made.", he kept going deeper and deeper. The smell kept getting worse and worse. After a few more moments he saw light. He knew he was at the end of the tunnel. When he walked out he crashed into something. After touching it for a few moments, the captain realized it was gold.
"What the? I'm in the vault!" he told himself. Then he pulled a knife from his boot and walked slowly, following the smell. There was a light coming from behind some of the gold, so he walked towards it. When he reached it, he was shocked at what he found. An overgrown rat, eating his cheese!
"You damn bastard!" the captain reached for the neck of the rat, but it jumped off swiftly, out of the nothing it pulled a crossbow and shot at the captain. The smell from the darts made him drop on the floor. Few hours later he woke up. He started checking what's missing. He was surprised to see that none of the gold was missing, but all of the cheese was gone. Angry he went back into the hole, as the vault is impossible to open from the inside.

When he finally reached the bar he shouted at the boys to go and fill that tunnel and fix the hole in the wall. Then he noticed something. The damn rat was sitting with Lux on the table.
"You smelly little!" he shouted and the rat screamed trying to run, but Lux threw a snare at him.
"No! Leave me alone!" the rat shouted.
"Calm down Twitch, he wont hurt you." Lux tried to calm him down.
"Oh I am!" the captain grabbed the rat on the neck and threw him out in the snow. "So much for your heist you damn rat!"
"But cap he was just hungry! Poor thing walked from Zaun to here in this snow!" Lux said in a sad tone
"What did you say his name was? Twitch? Look at the poster girl! That rat is known for causing plagues and stealing the food of the poor people! We're lucky he's not gold hungry as well!" the captain slammed the poster on the table in front of Lux.
"I... I didn't know." worried she said.
"Do not worry girl. I'll just call one of the Noxian witches to come and make a protective spell against him. Now I need to rest a bit." and so his day ended and he went back to bed. Knowing that he has rat problems.
