Awhile back Me and nine other champions agreed to be filmed as we fought on a specially created arena. This arena was much larger than Summoner's rift and had a large jungle terrain, it was mostly jungle actually. Anyways it was me, Darius, Draven, Zyra and Nautilus against Ahri, Leona, Rengar, Graves, and Jax. The battle was quite interesting and the rules of the arena were very different. Like always the goal was to destroy enemy nexus, second there were no minions or jungle camps, third if you die it's game over for you and you get transported back to the institution, there were no shops or recalls and lastly you start with all of your abilities even your ultimate.
My team came up with a plan, we would wait until the enemy team splits up or if they don't separate we'll make them. I was meant to bait Ahri and Leona towards Darius and Draven so we can ambush them. The plan worked perfectly, Ahri and Leona were hot on my tail as I ran from them. Darius from behind one of the trees swung his axe and knocked Leona over. Her sword fell to the ground and Draven prevented her from picking it up. Darius then raised his axe about to deal a first and final blow to Ahri when Leona without her sword jumped in front of her and shielded the blow. Leona fell to the ground, presumably dead for she was bleeding quite a bit.
Ahri, now by herself decided to run off before giving us a mocking laugh with glowing purple eyes. Darius and Draven chased after Ahri. I met up with Zyra and we headed after the brothers. Zyra used her vines to grab hold of Ahri so we'd be able to kill her. Draven raised one of his spinning axes and threw it at her. However Graves threw a smokescreen canister at the axe causing it to bounce back. We were surrounded in smoke and when the vapor dissipated we saw Jax, Graves and Rengar joining the party. Rengar leaped forward knocking Draven over and mauling him to death with his claws. All while Graves was firing his shotgun at me, as mobile and flexible I may be I can only dodge so much. So I retreated into the forest, both Graves and Rengar pursued me. I made my way up the trees and was within the tops of the tall trees. I watched Graves as he looked around for me as if I'd still be on the ground. This is when I heard a low growl and Rengar lunged at me from the branches.
He swung his claws, swiping, breaking branches. I used him to jump to a higher branch but he just cut that one down. While trying to dodge his very frequent attacks I ended up on my rear on a particularly large branch. One swipe, dodged. Two swipes, dodged. The third almost got me, I had to spread my legs wide to dodge that one. His knife landed where my legs once were and became lodged into the mossy tree branch. If it were anytime outside a battle it could've been highly sexual situation. I then was able to kick his paw out of the grip of his knife which made him take a step back. This bought me a few seconds to get back up on my feet. I jumped upwards and grabbed hold of a much smaller branch above me, swung myself around to give me a bit of momentum for when I kicked him in his snout. He wasn't too happy about that. He lunged and knocked us both out of the trees. We mingled a bit while falling before he grabbed another branch to prevent him from hitting the ground.
I was still falling so I used my shunpo to teleport to Graves. I raised my blade to finish off Graves but I found myself staring down the barrels of his guns instead. He smiled while smoking his cigar and gave me a bit of a nod that said "too bad." Then I hear his gun fire and for a split second I saw the flash of gunpowder from his firearm, then black. I woke up back inside the Institute of War. It was game over for me so I simply watched the rest of the battle. Jax was fighting Darius. Ahri had defeated Zyra and then Nautilus decided to finally show up. It seemed as if he knocked Graves, Jax and Ahri out of the game. However in reality he only defeated Jax. Graves was very resourceful and was mortally injured so he used his remaining energy to smack one of his canisters against the stone pillar he leaned on. The canister went off sending the pillar toppling forward and defeating Nautilus.
Only Darius was left and it seemed he had Ahri cornered but as he raised his mighty axe, Leona ulted and a solar flare came down and stunned him. Darius is a fighter and never gives up even though it's obvious that he was at a disadvantage. Ahri's spirit orb knocked him back, his axe now on the ground and he was pushed into a camouflaged Rengar. Darius threw a punch at the lion, causing the pridestalker to fall unconscious to the floor. The Hand of Noxus was very low on energy and health as he faced Ahri. Ahi used her foxfire and ulted to take Darius down. Rengar, Ahri and Leona were the last ones standing and their team won the game. I believe the summoners titled this battle "A New Dawn"
Since then, surprisingly Rengar and I have become quite the acquaintances. His fight with me impressed me since he actually got me to fall on my ass. We spar quite often and with the help of each other we grew stronger. He can still make me fall on my ass but I have been improving. Usually after our training we end up going to the dining hall to get something to eat before going to either of our dorms. I like going to his quarters because he doesn't mind if I use his wall as target practice. I am sure his wall resembles swiss cheese. We get along strangely well.
Like usual, after the battles of the day I went to spar with Rengar. We must've been fighting for a couple hours because the sun had gone down. We walked to the dining hall together.
"As impressive as ever" I chuckle to him.
"Your mobility makes you a very good hunter" he growled playfully at me.
We got our food, I decided some chicken with spinach on the side was sufficient this time. As always Rengar had a plate of three different meats, I think it was turkey, beef and fish this time. He eats so quickly, like a true big cat I suppose. He waits for me to finish my meal and we head to his quarters. He is very aggressive when he is himself, very tense. However I found that making him a cup of catnip tea seems to turn him into a giant kitten. It's rather cute. Although in exchange he gives me an alcoholic mixture.
So we get back to his room and he removes his attire, everything but his shorts of course. I immediately head to the kitchen and put a kettle on the fire. This is practically routine at this point. I Make him a cup of catnip tea.
"Katarina, make it strong tonight" He says with his deep voice.
"I gotcha kitty cat" I tease him, he gives me a playful snarl.
I hand him the cup of tea.
"In the fridge, the blue bottle is for you" He nearly downs the entire contents of the cup.
I take the blue bottle and head back to the living room. He is leaning back on the arm of couch, one leg on the couch and the other hanging off.
"Saving a spot for me are we?" I chuckle and he merely smiles.
I sit and lay back onto him, I can feel his fur against my skin. I pop the cork off the bottle and take a drink of the mixture inside. It burned slightly but was replaced with a soothing warm feeling. I look up at him while twirling my fingers across his fur. His paw brushes my hair a bit, it's pretty soothing. I could feel his purring resonating through his body. Knowing the warrior he is, it's very interesting to see him in such a state of calm. I caress his cheek.
"So kitty , how were the battles today?" I ask him before taking another drink.
"You should know some of it already. The way you outplayed my gank on mid was impressive" He smiles softly.
I laugh "Thanks. You almost had me. But you did on my fifth match of the day. You knocked me on my ass again" I said.
"That I did" he yawns and brushes against my neck.
"Mind if I sleep here tonight?" I asked him. He gave me a look that said 'really? You have to ask?' Which made me laugh.
"Okay okay. " I yawn. He picks me up in his arms, one arm under my legs and the other supporting my back, he cradled me in his arm. He nuzzled softly against my head and I couldn't help but to do the same to him. He places me on the bed before laying down next to me. I climb up on top of him, he is much bigger than myself and I like sleeping on top of his soft fur. His paw is positioned on my lower back as the other is simply to his side. I feel his purrs through my body as I lightly poke his nose. He chuckles as he looks at me.
"Good night" he smiles kindly.
"Good night" I respond feeling relaxed and tired.
I don't know what kind of relationship we have but either way it's very soothing. I have never fallen asleep so quickly. If I ever need his assistance I know he will be there for me, just as I will be for him.
