(March 1st 2015 – 1:15 PM – Lisa's apartment, New York, Earth)
Days after the scouting, Quinn has been worried about her Summoner, he constantly talks about how he had to kill the princesses but at the same time he didn't wanted to do it or he was completely useless against Sejuani and Lissandra. Needless to say he was way too stressed and considering how Lissandra was actually dominating in this `war´ it wouldn't take too long before she covers the entire city in True Ice.
During that day, both Lisa and Lux offered the Summoner a meal at their apartment, so he would talk about other things and keep his mind away from all of the recent events.
Once they were all on the table, everyone started to eat, except for the purple haired, the tapping sound of the cutlery in his hands on the wooden table was annoying, Nathan was looking at the food, still intact after almost ten minutes since the girls served it in the table.
¨If you are wondering, that piece of meat will not attack you Nate…¨ Lisa tried to break that silence with a joke but none of the other two girls followed the student so it made the situation even worse. She sighed and placed her cutlery in the plate ¨You're still thinking about your task right?¨
The Summoner nodded, he seemed scared, he already killed someone once but even if that was just as self-defense there was blood in his hands.
¨Nathan…¨ Lux looked at the purple haired, just like everyone else, she was worried about him, the boy turned his eyes at the mage but it was hard for him to keep visual contact with those blue eyes ¨If I was in your situation, I would feel the same, but right now your best option is to rely on your friends, the people who you can trust¨
The Summoner slammed his fist on the table while he shook his head ¨You don't get it, this is not about us… it's about me and having to defeat two Champions in order to save our world¨
¨You are a SUMMONER, your objective is to SUMMON us into the battlefield¨ Quinn said angrily, she loved Nathan but the way he acted was completely selfish and she wouldn't feel happy if he went to Lissandra's fortress by himself just to die in mere seconds ¨Lux and I can handle if we have to fight. Then there's Lisa…¨ The scout turned at the other student who was already pouting with her arms crossed.
¨Nathan is my friend, and even if I can't cast magic or use a crossbow, the least I can do is to help him, I don't care if I have to break some bones, but I will not let him fight alone!¨ Lisa was determined to support his friend, even if she had to risk her life.
¨No, you will stay here, because there is no way you-¨
¨I am the only person who knows something about the fortress…¨ Lisa interrupted the mage, this of course attracted the attention of the other Champion and the Summoner, this two being curious on what kind of information she may hide ¨I know that there is a way to enter into the building, you said the main door was blocked so why not take the staff entrance?¨
Nate nodded, he agreed that it might be the best idea and since there were no other plans, that was his only option ¨Fine, I'll go there and-¨
¨Wait, you don't know where that entrance is, you will probably take a lot of time so here is my offer: You will get to know where the door is, but in exchange I must go with you¨
¨No way, I'll find another entrance, even if I have to make one myself!¨ The Summoner stood from the chair but Quinn grabbed his arm, the grip around it was tight so it was evident that she didn't wanted Nate to go alone ¨Let me go, I have to do this.
¨You do, but going alone is plain stupid. We are NOT letting you fight against a Champion all by yourself¨ The scout stood up as well, holding the other hand from Nate ¨I am bound to you because it is my duty to protect you, don't make me fail my only task because you need to feel manly for this¨
¨It's not… you are… argh. You wanna come? Fine, but Lisa stays here¨
¨No chance, you'll have to take me and Clark along, and before you ask, I already convinced him to come too, so no backsies¨ The student smiled, Nate was now in a situation where he couldn't win this argument. He sighed and raised his hands and walked back to his apartment, leaving the three girls with their lunch still on their table.
¨Do you think we annoyed him enough?¨ Lux was revolving the piece of meat from her plate while she rested her head with her right hand.
¨I'd say more than enough¨ Lisa chuckled over her victory.
(March 1st 2015 – 5:50 PM – Outside of Chrysler building, New York, Earth)
With the crew waiting on the side of the building the darkened door which on top it read `Staff entrance´ was their way in. All of the students were wearing heavy clothes, even if it hindered some of their movement they were at least protected from the cold and any attack they might receive, on the other hand the two Champions were wearing their traditional clothes, Quinn with her red and purple outfit and Lux had her blue and golden armor, but unlike the scout she had to wear a coat on top of it because she wasn't able to stay warm. The phoenix flew down and landed on the Summoner's shoulder, looking at the rest of the people who were anxious on what they will find inside.
¨Look, I would never ask you to come with me, in fact I don't want you to go in. It is MY task so no one else should be involved, is that ok?¨ Nate tried to give one more chance to his friends so they would back out.
¨I know we are friends dude, but if it wasn't for Lisa who is blackmailing me, then I wouldn't be here, at all!¨ Clark placed his hands inside of the pockets from his jacket, he tried to back away but both Lisa and Lux pushed him forward.
¨I will remind you this: You are the one who is tasked to defeat Lissandra and Sejuani, but you must need people following so you don't die while doing it¨ Quinn frowned while loading her crossbow; the phoenix jumped from the Summoner's shoulder and went towards the arm of his original owner.
¨Yeah but… but… Look, I do care about you¨
¨And we care about you too, but acting that way will only lead to your death¨ Lux answered, making the purple haired sigh in response.
¨I guess I can't change your mind then¨ He turned towards the door and touched the handle, it was cold but he was able to open it nonetheless ¨Here we go...¨ The Summoner whispered and entered into the building.
Everyone followed Nathan from behind, their path was complete dark and the only light was coming from the door so they had to keep it open to see, almost at the other end there was a door and they hoped that it would lead them to a room with better lighting. And they were right, the next room was the reception from the Chrysler Building, to their right the front desk and the stairs that led towards the upper floors, to the left the main entrance was open and the True Ice that blocked it some days ago disappeared.
¨Do you think Lissandra is waiting for us?¨ Nathan walked near the front desk and looked all around him. There were a lot of ice blocks and probably all of them were occupied by people who were too curious and ended up with a horrible fate, worse than death.
¨Probably, but she is not the only thing we should be aware of¨ Quinn eyed at the roof and closed her eyes ¨There are Summoners and Champions here. Who? I don't know, but they aren't too far¨
¨Other Champions? Maybe they can help us!¨ Lisa was still unaware that there were living people inside of the ice blocks and it was impossible for the group to crack those prisons open just like that.
¨They are trapped, I don't think we are going to receive their help any time soon…¨ Lux muttered and walked towards one of the staircases ¨Maybe we should go up, Lissandra might be on the upper floors¨
The group nodded and decided to stick together while going up the stairs, for every floor they visited the amount of ice blocks was increasing and their fear did too, none of them wanted to fail and end up crystallized.
¨Little question girls, what are you going to do once this is over?¨ Clark was walking at the side of Lisa and behind the two Champions, Nathan was the one leading the entire group.
¨I guess we'll continue to go to the university, right? Just because we are in this situation, doesn't mean we are going to abandon all of our studies¨ Lisa looked at the crystallized blocks, trying not to touch them.
¨I guess Quinn and I will go back to our duties. Not before we give a report to Jarvan on what we saw in this world¨ Lux was holding her baton quite tight, she was ready to cast a binding on the first enemy that appeared.
There was silence all around them but the only noise came from their footsteps on the ice which made the entire situation even more frightening. They knew Lissandra already acknowledged their presence in the building and it would be a matter of time until she appeared and decided to attack the group.
They kept going up until they arrived at the fourth floor, in which unlike the other ones the Ice blocks were quite numerous and they were blocking their vision.
¨Stay together, I don't like this…¨ Quinn decided to step forward and be the one leading all of them.
With Nathan on the front of the other two students and Lux covering the rear, they advanced slowly because they didn't knew what may appear behind the corner.
As they got closer to the stairs on the other side of the room, they heard a weird noise coming from above, as they turned the group saw that the ceiling cracked and part of it fell in the middle of the room, however there was something else since from that piece that fell from above there were also human screams.
Once it crashed, the group stayed and tried to figure out if the people who were now in the room with them were allies or enemies.
¨You girls are alright down there?¨ A female voice with a British accent came way from above, almost everyone who were waiting by the stair knew that voice belonged to a certain marksman.
¨Yeah, don't worry about us, we'll meet outside¨ The answer from the girl that fell triggered something into the student's ears.
The first person to run towards where the voice came from was Lisa, and even if Lux and Quinn tried to grab her she was already away from their grasp. None of them wanted to spread out so they followed the brown haired from behind.
The group stopped right in front of two girls who were wiping away the dust and some pieces of ice that were attached to their clothes. Nathan was able to recognize both of them while the students only one.
One of the girls with brown hair and green eyes was holding a dagger, but she was mostly focusing on her partner, another girl with red hair and with the same color of eyes however there was a scar in her right eye.
This Summoner-Champion duo were the representatives of Noxus, although Nathan wanted to call them by their names: Claire and Katarina.
And now everyone knows what happened to Claire and Kat! Hooray (I guess) Now next chapter will include some fighting and heavy stuff, probably it will be a bit longer for you to enjoy, HOWEVER, I will take a break from writing for a week (need to gather up ideas and all that) so next chapter will be released by the 26 (following the schedule of monday and thursday updates) so until then, I'll leave you with this sort of cliffhanger.
Yorkmanic88: Sorry. I'm not all for wars or tribe wars. I'm more of a lonian when it comes to war and will mostly oppose of things like this. And with the words of AlphaOmegaSin...I say these to be people that enjoy war including to the assholes Noxians (yes I'm talking to you too, Swain.)..."Double digit IQ hollow brain mother fucking no goddamn develope frontal lobe having mother fucker shut the fuck up." It sucks. Plain and simple. Keep up the good work, dude.
So uh... I don't think you'll like that waifurina appeared in the story. On topic: It was hard to create a story with the Freljord Champions and avoid not talking about the civil war going on. And thanks, I'll try to keep with all the chapters!
Guest: I don't feel Lissandras too strong of a champion atm, as an awful lot of champions in mid have the mobility, kit and range to dodge and escape her trades unless she pops ultimate on them instantly.
But wouldn't Brand seek out Lissandra? He wants to set the world on fire. Lissandra would prevent it and be more capable of it then most. I'm somewhat hoping that Garen will pop into the story and be that over protective brother he's portrayed as.

(Going to be going by AFTG for less typing!)
1) Lissandra used to be a great champion back in the day, nowadays she is still strong but like you said, in mid she has to face against high movility champions and with the nerfs she received overtime she is more viable into toplane now (althooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo facing a Darius may not be a good idea)
2) Brand's future... well, let's say something happened, maybe Lissandra can shed some light on that ;)
We done for the week people and with Origen vs Flash Wolves playing, I'll be off. Hope you enjoyed the chapter and don't forget to Follow and/or favorite if you enjoyed the story and also reviews help me improve into my writing and it is also a way to interact with all of you guys and girls!
'Till then:
See you in the next chapter ;)
