Though the Laurent name was tarnished, that didn't mean Fiora lived as a plebeian, if anything her estate had a better establishment thanks to her success as a duelist. Even so, she was alone in such a massive mansion forced to take care of herself and now one pup. The loneliness was quite unsettling even for someone as disciplined as Fiora, but this way of life was unavoidable due to countless defeats she brought upon anyone who faced her; creating grudges left and right. With so many opponents after her life for revenge, Fiora couldn't trust anyone including the house servants as they would be easily bribed into assassination attempts. Her family abandoned the house to avoid getting involved and now with her bitter personality, animals are also scared of her. Indeed infamous, but Zenzo seems to think otherwise.

Sleeping in bed, Fiora feels the morning sun hit her face waking her up. Oddly enough, she found herself having fewer restless nights ever since she took in Zenzo. Small furry animals must have a positive psychological effect on stress ridden people, Fiora thought, but another reason for the three straight weeks of peaceful night sleep was due to a sudden stop in nighttime attacks. She ponders on the thought, but quickly reverts her attention to the black and yellow pup currently walking towards her bed with a pair of slippers in his mouth. From keeping Fiora company to helping carry groceries back home, Zenzo managed to get promoted to house pet, talking residence inside the duelist's bedroom instead of outside.

After getting out of bed and into the slippers, Fiora stretches and yawns in her simple white dress shirt and underwear.

"Yawn~ Zenzo, Paper."

With a sternly stated command, Zenzo dashes out and quickly returns with a newspaper in his mouth. Taking it, she begins to read its contents, but not before feeling a fuzzy forehead push against the back of her ankle. Getting the message, she heads over to bathroom to freshen up as Zenzo directed. After brushing her teeth and taking a shower, she is then again feeling a soft plushie head pressing against her other ankle. Zenzo picked up the habit of rushing Fiora through the morning after learning her routine for the sake of playing with his owner.

"Calm yourself, Zenzo."

Fiora strides into the kitchen with the furball running circles around her. Lately she noticed that Zenzo doesn't eat that much, in fact he really only drinks water, but that didn't bother her when looking at how energetic he was everyday. Fiora takes a seat at a large table with a bowl of cereal and a glass of juice while looking over documents about her estate. It was a cold morning, but Zenzo being a natural heat pack, allowed Fiora to stay in her current sleep wear. Lying in wait on her milky thighs, Zenzo continues to stretch and yawn. When it was finally time to head out, Fiora walks to her room to don her uniform as Zenzo runs off to fetch her rapier. Despite the size difference between the pup and her weapon, he manages to pull through and receives a pat on the head.

"Off we go."

She says, marching out the front door and into Demacia where opponents standby for their ultimate defeat. Once the pair reaches the front gate, their stroll is interrupted by group of lavishly clad nobles with a clear irritated expression. The one who made Fiora's eye twitch was the Lady of Luminosity, Lux Crownguard.

"What business does the prodigy child have with me?"

"I'll get straight to it, Fiora. Four members of our house have disappeared without a trace in the past week."

"I believe I have dueled a few Crownguards, but none of which have died by my hand. Though, the only thing I killed was their pride."

"But you are the last person to see them, making you the prime suspect."

Lux points at her, accusing the duelist with full support of the crowd she brought.

"Despite being a light mage, you aren't really bright. For all we know they may have felt so ashamed they went into hiding."

"Fiora, you..."

Lux marches towards Fiora, but Zenzo's sudden coughing fit catches their attention. A few more coughs later, the object that didn't settle so well in his stomach finally freed itself. A gold ring with the Crownguard's crest imprinted on it fell onto the ground. Bewilderment fills everyone's face including Fiora's.

"What's the meaning of this, Fiora!?"

Lux yells snatching the ring and presenting it to her.

"Hmm, I guess my little Zenzo ate a few people."

Fiora says in a sarcastic tone, before walking off, leaving behind a shocked group of Crownguards. Fiora herself didn't know what to think of the unexpected turn of events, but Zenzo's an infant and eating people was obviously out of his spectrum. So, coming to a conclusion that the one she faced simply dropped their ring and Zenzo ate it out of curiosity, she continued on her way. The day ended with twenty victories for House Laurent.

"Another day of incompetent opponents who were all bark and no bite. Zenzo, you should use that nose of yours to find someone worthy."

Fiora says with a sigh as she looks into Zenzo's gold pupils, lightly poking his nose. He just nibbles on her index finger before jumping off her chest to swim around the bath some more. Closing her eyes for a moment, she opens them back up to find her friend missing. Looking around cautiously, she is suddenly blindsided by a soft nudge to the cheek after he resurfaces from the water.

"More discipline is in order, Zenzo."

She announces as he continues to lick the left side of her face. Later the two exit the bath and prepare for bed. Fiora rubs the pup's chin before heading to her king-size bed leaving him to his pillow located in the corner of the room.

Inside the subconscious of Shen, we have the Kinkou family dreading the incident that was about to repeat itself.

"I wonder when the next sore loser will show up before falling victim." Shen's father asks, while playing a shogi match with yellow jacket Shen.

"Please refrain from such comments, father. He... I did kill numerous Demacian nobles in a small time frame." Shen says, finishing his move.

"But those 'sore losers' are doing something so dishonorable. Getting eaten is the least they can do." Shen's mother was stating while doing some flower arrangements.

"Your words don't match your actions, mother."

Sound asleep, Fiora was unaware of the random man sneaking through the halls of the manor. The man was of no significance, but he is the recent victim of Fiora's never ending winning streak. She was exhausted from dueling and keeping up with Zenzo, so the armor-clad fellow already found himself at the bedside of the one who defeated him with ease. Ignoring the pup who was suddenly pulling at his pant leg in a silent manner, as if he didn't want to wake up his master, the man took out a dagger.

"This is for embarrassing me, a prodigy of House Lightshield."

After declaring his resentment, he noticed that the annoying pup released his clothing, but a different sensation appears. Frozen in place, he feels a hot gust of wind blowing over his head followed by a few drops of saliva. The first thing that the man from House Lightshield could think of is to attack the thing standing over him, thus spinning around with a blade in hand, he...

"Yawn~ Mmmmmm. A week of non-stop dueling and the League is quite a burden. Maybe a vacation is in order?"

Fiora lazily gets out of bed to find Zenzo missing.

"Where did he go?"

She asks herself with another yawn and just as she said that, she sees Zenzo walking into the room with a patch of dirt on his face. Letting out a sigh, she takes him into the bath.

There's currently a collection Zenzo is keeping track of, but it's in the garden; out of sight, out of mind.

Noon comes around and the two are on a stroll again. This time they avoid all confrontations in order to reach a public square where a military parade was held. Fiora was reminiscing about the past when House Laurent was a part of such festivities, but never noticed Zenzo chasing a smaller animal around the courtyard. A group in the parade were preparing to fire cannons loaded with fireworks. Unfortunately a mix-up occurred and something a bit stronger than fireworks were loaded into one of the cannons. Fiora finally notices Zenzo gone and begins to frantically search for him in the thick crowd. Zenzo, chasing the squirrel-like animal, ends up jumping head first into the faulty cannon after it dodged his pounce.

In the next three seconds, an explosion ignites with a deafening sound. Unaware to Fiora and everyone else was Zenzo blasting off to the East in a fireball.

Minutes later...

In an office, there sits a sheriff looking over unsolved case files with a fatigued expression drawn across her face. With a sudden increase in crime rate, Caitlyn of Piltover can't help but groan. Even the breathtaking view of the City of Progress couldn't make her relax as her rivals continue to wreak havoc on the city. Though the crime rate is still low compared to other parts of Valoran, just having a problem that has proven itself to be an overwhelming annoyance with no solution is enough to aggravate Caitlyn to some extent.

Just as she though about Jinx causing more problems, a round object smashes through her window and becomes imbedded into the wall. Shaking the whole building, Caitlyn takes cover thinking that they are under attack. Noticing no sign of a second volley, she looks over to the damaged wall where the cannonball struck in distress. The metal ball then drops to the ground with a loud thump before slowly rolling over to her. If she was confused before, she is even more baffled when a tail pops out the ball.

"Huh?"

Cracks form around the ball and like an egg, the dark shell breaks off to reveal a fully armored Shen pup. Looking like a samurai but a dog. Caitlyn just calls for Vi out of turbulence.
