(October 8th 2015 – 10:15 PM – Nick's house, New York, Earth)
The black haired boy woke up from his bed, he felt tired after an entire day of walking, but there was something odd. He rose from the comfortable mattress and looked at his surroundings; those were some walls he hasn't seen for a week. It was his bedroom, although the Summoner couldn't believe it; before resting he was in a forest at the side of the road, both Pantheon and Jax tied him up to a tree so he wouldn't kill anybody else.
Nick walked and tried to touch everything in his bedroom. He knew it was a dream, but it felt quite real that the earthling started to doubt. Beneath the door there was some light coming out from the hallway that led to the floor below. When he opened it, Nick confirmed that the light was coming from the first floor. When he climbed out, the lights from the kitchen were turned on, so his first instinct was to shut them down.
As he was turning the lights off one by one, someone started to sing; a woman. The Summoner turned and saw that the source was his cellphone, but he confused since the ringtone wasn't the one he had; instead it was one of League's songs, most importantly the one that belonged to Diana.
Nick picked up the phone and answered the call, it said private number but he still insisted on pressing the green icon on the touch screen.
¨Uh… Hello?¨ The Summoner looked around and walked into the living room; there was no one and still no signs of anything changing from his house.
¨So this is your house, neat¨ The voice from the Scorn of the Moon came out of the speaker of the phone. Nick looked at it terrified and frowned.
¨Get out of my head!¨ He yelled and threw the phone away, breaking it against the wall ¨I gotta wake up¨ The Summoner ran to the front door but he found it locked; he tried to open all of the windows but all of them were closed as well. As a last resource, he grabbed a lamp tried to fracture the glass, but they were quite resistant and all of the attacks from the black haired didn't left a scratch.
¨There has to be a way...¨ Nick muttered and tried to look for any kind of way to escape from his house but everything was locked up tight and completely indestructible.
¨Have you tried by saying `Please´?¨ The same voice from the phone was now closer. Diana was sitting on the sofa, holding the crescent blade in her lap while looking at the Summoner.
¨Would you actually leave me alone if I ask you gently?¨
¨No. But at least you tried¨ She chuckled ¨Please, I won't hurt you, have a seat so we can talk¨ Diana smiled at Nick who was still quite confused ¨Are you going to stand there or should I actually force you to come here?¨
¨Wha-¨ He shook his head but only to find himself walking towards the couch in front of the Champion, his actions were not his own since Diana was controlling his body. Once seated, he felt his body being under his will once again ¨How did you do that?¨
¨I know many tricks¨ Diana grinned and looked through the window ¨You have a peaceful life here, Nicholas. And yet you decided to come here, to my world¨
¨I'm doing this for a friend's sister, she-¨
¨Is in this world as well, I know¨ Her gaze was now upon the Summoner ¨I know everything you know, Nick. I have a complete control of your mind, and your actions as well¨
The earthlings stood from his seat ¨You are not going to make me kill Leona!¨
¨I won't, even though I can easily manipulate you. Remember Riverhelm?¨ Diana moved her hand and made the Summoner sit once again ¨You will guide me to the Solari, and I will be the one who finishes her. Once she is done, you will be the last one of the order of the sun on Runeterra¨ The white haired woman pointed the crescent blade at the Summoner ¨But I know you don't want to die, because there is something within you¨
¨Yes, there is something within me, that is the power of a Solari, and I will die trying to stop the people like you¨ Nick muttered and looked away, but he felt a hand moving his head; it was warm and the delicate touch of a woman gave it away who it was, but the moment their eyes locked on each other, the Summoner never expected to see the person sitting on his lap.
¨You speak like a true Solari, Nick¨ That heartwarming voice of the Radiant Dawn echoed in his ears.
¨But… what are you doing here?! You should be in Zaun¨ Confusion was the only thing the Summoner could think of, but then again, he was a bit happy that Leona was there with him.
¨And I am there, but I am also here because you still have memories of me¨ Leona grabbed Nick's hand ¨But you must know that Diana is right; there is something within you, and it does not belong to the Solari¨
¨What do you mean? You even told me that I am a chosen of the sun! You know how I feel about you¨ He raised his tone but the ginger hushed his words by placing a finger on his lips.
¨I know, but your soul is asking for something else as well. You are a chosen of the sun, but ever since we parted ways months ago, you changed¨ Nick tried to remove the fingers from his lips but Leona placed her hand, covering his mouth ¨The moon gazes upon you Nick, you need to hear its call¨
¨No… I'm not a Lunari, and I will never be!¨
¨Are you sure?¨ Diana spoke from her couch and Leona disappeared ¨When you returned to your world, you changed your lifestyle, you decided to be more of a night person, and even if those small details may not seem important…¨ The Scorn of the Moon stood up ¨…you have been chosen¨
¨Is it… I mean, it's not possible for a Solari to be a Lunari¨
¨I used to be one, Nicholas. The Moon welcomes those who have been under the light of the Sun in the past. That is why we are not so different¨ Diana extended her hand, and smiled; the white irises from hers observing the Summoner.
¨What makes you think that I will accept your beliefs?¨ Nick crossed his arms and shook his head in complete denial.
¨Because if you don't, I will change my mind and I will force you to slay the Radiant Dawn, then I will kill you¨ The tip from the crescent blade touched the earthling's forehead, making the symbol of the Lunari appear ¨The Sun has blinded you in the past, but I will show you the true light, the one that will protect us¨ Diana grinned ¨And if I remember correctly, the two bodyguards that are with you, will try to keep you away from Leona. Come with me and you will have a bigger chance to talk to her; even if it's on her last moment¨
Nick looked down, thinking for a moment about this. Diana could probably read his mind but she was right, maybe Jax wasn't going to stop him, but Pantheon would probably kill him the moment he decides to get closer to Leona. This was a dead end for the Summoner and the only way to find an exit was by accepting the fact that he was a Lunari as well.
¨Even if I accept the Moon, how am I going to leave those two if I am under constant surveillance?¨
¨I know a way, but you will have to follow my every order if you wish to get to Zaun¨ Diana removed the tip of the blade from the boy's head, making the Lunari symbol disappear.
¨Fine, but don't control my mind and make me do embarrassing stuff¨ Nick stood up and looked at Diana, shaking their hands in agreement.
¨And so it is done. Embrace the Moon as your new mother, and wake up from your slumber, Lunari¨ The Champion placed her hand behind the Summoner's neck and pulled him for a kiss that would wake him up.
(October 8th 2015 – 10:40 PM – Road to Zaun, Runeterra)
Nick woke up after that kiss; when he tried to move he forgot that his arms were tied to the tree. Near the bonfire the Artisan of War and the Grandmaster at arms were sleeping, the fire was on its last minutes before it completely died.
¨Did that just happen?¨ He whispered and closed his eyes once again.
But he couldn't get any more sleep since his arms were free again; the ropes that held him were now cut and allowed the Summoner to stand up. He looked at his left, then at his right but there was no sign of the Scorn of the Moon, except for a clue that she left behind the tree. It was a piece of paper that was hanging from the bark thanks to a knife.
Nick grabbed it and notice there was something written on it.
¨Find me by the pond, the Moon shall guide your every step¨ Even though it didn't have a name, he already knew who it was.
The earthling tried to leave, but there was a problem, his armor and the sword were by the bonfire so if he wanted to be armed, he would have to get close to the two sleeping Champions. But that was something Nick was not going to risk; he walked away, even though he had no idea where the pond was. He kept walking on the opposite direction from the road, expecting to hit the water source sooner or later.
Suddenly, the dark forest brightened a bit; some trees were bathed in a white dim light. There were no torches, lamps or a lantern, instead the source came from something above him; the Moon.
¨(Are you really guiding me to her?)¨ That was Nick's thought as he advanced in the same direction of the white trees.
Soon, he started to hear the sound of water not too far from his location. The Summoner kept advancing until his target was in sight; the light of the moon illuminated over the pond. On the opposite side, a person standing on a rock, the white hair and the metal armor shined thanks to the protector from above.
¨The Moon shall guide those who follow its steps. And you, Nicholas, are one of them¨ The Champion climbed out of the rock and walked towards the Summoner ¨One of us¨ Diana tilted her head since he wasn't carrying the armor or the weapons she gave to him days ago ¨Where is your equipment?¨
¨I had to leave it behind, if I tried, then I would've woken up both Jax and Pantheon¨ Nick looked away; the light from the Moon was only shining over the pond, the rest of the forest was pitch black.
The grunt from Diana was not a good sign, but she still nodded nonetheless ¨Fine then; I know what we can do to improvise¨ She turned and started to walk away ¨Before we go to Zaun, there is a place we need to visit; that way you can get a weapon and some more protection¨
¨And we have to go now? It is still dark¨
¨Unless you want to be found by the other two, then I highly suggest we start moving; she will guide us until we get to our destination¨ Diana looked above and smiled at the moon.
¨Good point¨ The Summoner started to walk alongside Diana, thinking about the two Champions that he left behind ¨This is not gonna end well…¨
I don't know, everytime I write about Nick, the chapters end up being quite short, and I hate it because I all the good stuff will come later in the story for him.
Anyway, Diana can dig up into this guy's mind and it is not a good idea to betray her since she will know it beforehand. But enough talking about the Solari and the Lunari, next chapter will feature more about Marie and Elise, and maybe, some interesting things will happen, maybe a new Champion will appear or maybe an old one. The roads of destiny are quite uncertain.
Canwewrite: I'm SO SORRY!
I forgot to rewiew :(
Anyway, let start.
Ye made it. I have a lot of experience with lemons, and while short, yours isn't too bad.I mean, it really exited me (not only in THIS way).
So, I'm waiting to see what will happen with Nick now.
P.S. Not having an account,I'll say it here. My favourite summoner is Matt, with his dumbness full of good intention etc.
I saw the vote and I honestly think it's sad that Nick and Claire don't have many fans.
But Matt has his methods to be of these is that he's more psycologically deep Nick and Claire don't have so many details, so it's less funny to read about them. I think you should say something more on their personality.
See yi
Hey it's ok, no problem on that :)
Annnnd maybe there hasn't been a lot of Nick in this chapter, but I promise, that future chapters will have more stuff coming from him!
There have been some people who like Claire and Kat over Matt, Cait and Vi, but then, I try to make all the characters different from the other. Maybe I should try to add more background, or I don't know.
And that's it folks, new week, new chapter, and the end of a cycle is nigh!
Also for those who haven't noticed, I started a new story called `The Ionian Incident´ featuring Ralzith and Irelia for the time being. It is focused on Ionia and what happened on those months before the start of Heroes & Legends (One of the pre sequels I mentioned before)
We done here and I will say to you:
See you in the next chapter ;)
