I know, I know ... You're probably thinking...

But NOPE! NOPE! NOPE!

This was nothing the fox had ever seen before, disintegrated trees, craters, and clouds of ashes making their way back down to the ground. It used to be a heavily forested area, but it had been reduced to nothing but death and ashes. Dead bodies littered the ground, some died before they even had the chance to hit the ground, the remainder of the bodies had wholly been obliterated, and the fox walked through displeased. Soldiers were always the tastiest of them all, their souls full of unrivaled emotions most did not contain. And as they say, war changes a man. Whoever had done this must have either been extremely powerful or just a moron with a death wish.

The creature that had passed was not hard to track, it left a trail like no other. Nothing but devastation in its wake. It only took Ahri a half hour to catch up, but once she did she only had so little time before another one of her preys would be turned to smithereens. She grabbed a crisped and broken branch and hurled it at the floating voidling.

"You," she hissed throwing another stick. "How dare you kill all those good-looking men, do you have any idea how long I have been waiting for such an occasion?" The creature turned around his mood bitter from the stick he had been hit with. He loomed over her, preparing to disintegrate her, but paused when he noticed her nine white tails, a rarity he had yet to see. The temptation of killing her still hung at the tips of his tentacles, but he decided against it. She, however, was feistier than she looked, her magic was unknown to him, and her claws could barely scratch him. But one of her magical orbs knocked the wind out of him. He retreated back slightly, they had not injured him, but he felt a part of himself in distraught, his eyes trailed to the radiating orb in her palm. She dashed at him, her eyes glowing a crimson red and her killer instincts now kicking in. Vel'Koz tilted his head slapping her away. She hit the ground hard and rolled a few times before quickly getting back up. He sighed as he slammed her down on the floor multiple times, she was definitely sturdier than a human, and her relentlessness was beginning to annoy him. Then again was she even human? He finally had enough and held her down with a frown and sighed.

"Stop," he commanded. He received a few ragged insults as Ahri dug her nails, and even though it should have hurt he couldn't help but suppress a chuckle, it was ticklish.

"You piece-" he slammed one of his tentacles a few inches from her head making yet another crater on the ground. Dirt flew in the air as he pulled his limb back to his side and she quieted down.

"You, what are you?" he asked in fascination. His eyes widened at the sudden realization, and he hoisted Ahri above the ground floating off to a more appropriate place for a conversation. He gathered berries and sat her down on a rock placing the berries in front her. Humans grew comfortable around food. Ahri frowned flicking a berry to the ground.

"These are poisonous," she mumbled.

"Are they now?" Vel'Koz scooped a tentacle full and ate them. Ahri rose in an attempt to stop him but she was too late, and her arm hung in mid-air as he began chomping away.

"You're not supposed to eat them!" she shouted.

"They taste okay to me," he said. Ahri cringed as he had eaten enough to kill god knows what. Taking a good look at him, he was one hell of a voidling, Ahri had met her share of voidlings, but none were quite like him, he was a mighty creature of the void. Perhaps even the embodiment of death and destruction, at least from what she had seen.

"I have not seen your kind before, what are you little one?" he asked.

"As if I'd tell-" the tip of his tentacle pressed against her forehead and his eye glowed an uncomfortable bright color. Sensing the tension and bloodlust, she quickly threw aside her pride and smiled. "I'm a Vastaya."

"What is a Vastaya?" Vel questioned bringing a tentacle to his temple. "Tell me more, fox child."

"Well, I'm half human and half beast," she said wiggling her tails and then looked down at her hands. "I embody spiritual energy and..." she began to tell him her whole life story. He listened intently getting a good picture of the situation and nodded.

"So you want to be human again?" he asked. Ahri's cheeks flushed a light pink, and she looked away.

"None of your business voidling," she spat out. Vel'Koz nodded not wanting to pry any deeper.

"And these orbs of yours?" he questioned wrapping his tentacles in the form of a ball. Ahri held out the palm of her hand, an orb of raw energy emitting from the depths of nowhere.

"Fascinating," he whispered. Taking hold of the orb and consumed it. Ahri's jaw dropped, and she abruptly stood up in shock. He seemed pleased and stared at her while rubbing two of his tentacles together.

"How does one make such an orb?" He asked. She trailed her hands against the surface and looked up at the voidling.

"Runeterra is pulsing with magic, we are literally surrounded by it. I can reshape the magic as I please as well as this orb," she motioned holding out her palm to reveal yet another one. "It's a pure concentration of raw energy from the magic that surrounds us. And as for how, I do not know, humans cannot do it, and..." she trailed off mentally, he did not need any additional power.

"And what?" he snapped.

"Hmm, nothing."

She jumped slightly as he lowered to the ground with a loud thud and the voidling stared at her. "You consume souls no?" She nodded with suspicion, and he pressed a tentacle to his chest. "Consume mine," he ordered.

"Wha- I am doing no such thing," she retorted. The air became tense, a tentacle slithered towards her, and she gulped. "I mean if you want me to," she mumbled taking a step forward. Vel closed his eyes as her hand pressed against his chest. Her touch was soft and much more pleasant than when she was trying to rip him in half. Ahri concentrated and began taking in his essence, she was filled with disturbing and uncomfortably vivid images, and when she touched his soul, she gasped pulling her hand away and retreating quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not touching your soul ever again!" she shouted rubbing the palm of her hand against her leg. The sensation of coming into contact with his soul was indescribable. It was eerie and extremely unpleasant. She had even felt pain, and it was definitely a most bitter soul. Vel'Koz looked unfazed and he peered at one of his tentacles. He scooted closer to her and wrapped a tentacle around her wrist forcing her hand against his forehead. He leaned into the touch, and she squirmed.

"I told you-"

"You're warm and soft, is this what humans feel like?" She shivered at the thought, he had never adequately touched a human before, considering most of them had been blown to literal bits and pieces. He let out a deep chuckle and let go, propelling himself off of the ground.

"You certainly are more interesting than a human, I will give you that. And those magic orbs of yours, or whatever, they're hmm, appealing."

"They are not to eat!" she defended pointing her index a finger at him accusingly.

"Little fox, why don't you show me more of the world?" he asked holding out a tentacle. She would have said no on the spot, but it was more or less a hostile takeover, so she nodded with a bitter scowl.

"Fine, but you have to stop killing, here at least," she mumbled. Vel'Koz hummed in agreement, and she met his tentacle with her hand awkwardly shaking it.

"I might even make your dream come true," he said.

"What, you can do that?" she squeaked in excitement.

"It depends," he said. "Perhaps for an orb?" Vel smirked earning him a death glare. "I was joking little fox, now hurry up, I don't want to have to leave you behind."

Ugh, I had to edit this twice because I'm a dummy and stuff happens and ... I don't wanna talk about it! ;-;

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and sorry for the long ass wait, I'm lazy.
