(October 9th 2015 – 10:30 AM – Laurent Manor, Demacia, Runeterra)

After trying to find the crystal from the Summoners, Talon came back from the second floor and went directly to the garden in the back. However by the time he opened the door, the sight was not that pleasant, Claire and Fiora were aiming their blades at each other.

¨I was away for a few minutes, and when I come back, I find the two of you threatening to kill the other one!¨ Talon said by raising his tone a bit.

¨Well it's not my fault you never told us this was Fiora's house¨

¨Manor, my dear, I expect that you use the right words when you are in this place¨ The Grand Duelist countered with a smug on her face.

¨There is certainly no need to fight. We came here for something, and we will leave as soon as we got it¨ Katarina tried to solve the situation by stepping in front of her friend ¨We have no intentions to cause trouble¨

¨Then tell your friend to lower her weapons, if she is going to fight, at least I'll warn her that she won't be match for me¨

¨Enough¨ Talon intervened and lowered Fiora's rapier ¨You promised me, no fighting in the house¨

¨Should I remind you about your promise?¨ The assassin shook his head ¨I can only give asylum to a single noxian, yet you bring criminals into my house¨ The two of them remained silent and looked at each other. After a few seconds, they moved their heads closer and each one's lips touched briefly ¨You know that is not going to fix everything, right?¨

¨Wait, WHAT?!¨ Claire shouted, surprised after seeing the kiss between Talon and Fiora ¨H-how… I… I don't understand¨ She turned at Katarina who sighed.

¨I guess I should've told you earlier to avoid this… surprise¨ The Sinister Blade placed a hand on the forehead as she shook her head ¨They are a couple, although only a few people know about this¨

¨That is stupid!¨ The earthling waved her hands, still failing to believe what she saw ¨The love between a Demacian and a Noxian is quite…¨ Her voice trailed off as she saw Katarina frowning ¨…interesting¨

¨But there is something I don't get: in your lore… I mean, the Institute, it is said that no one is worthy of marrying you¨ Claire said, still confused as to what happened before.

¨And you are correct, I haven't found anyone, and probably won't. The head of this house does not need a husband nor it has to follow all of Demacia's traditions¨ Fiora replied and sheathed the rapier at her side ¨Talon and I are nothing but two duelists, but I am always the best one¨

Katarina raised her hands ¨Alright, we got it¨ She turned at Talon ¨Have you found what I asked you?¨

¨Yes, here¨ The Blade's Shadow handed the crystalline sphere that looked quite similar to the one Ralzith gave to Claire before their teleportation ¨You know those things are special, right?¨

¨Yes, but I don't see any faster way to get there¨ Katarina then handed the magic item to her Summoner, but before it could touch the brown haired's hands, she quickly removed it ¨Are you going to trip and doom us here in Demacia?¨

¨Just give it to me already!¨ With the object now in her hands, Claire inspected it. The magic that was revolving inside of the crystalline sphere made it glow, which was an entertaining view for someone who hasn't believed in magical creatures and monsters. She looked up at Talon and pointed at the artifact ¨So what now?¨

¨You must whisper the name of the place you want to go and then break that thing against the ground¨ The brown haired girl nodded as her eyes returned to the sphere ¨So Zaun, correct?¨ And after those words the item started to glow in a green tone.

From the manor, two small shadows entered into the back garden, this newcomers rushed directly to the legs of the Grand Duelist which they hugged it, nudging their cheeks against Fiora's pants.

¨Aunt! We didn't hear you coming¨ The male sibling said while removing himself from the Champion's leg.

¨Have you brought anything for us?¨ The girl asked as she made some puppy eyes but the duelist shook her head.

¨Rhea, Merc, stop doing that! And please don't call me aunt¨ The Grand Duelist warned them by frowning, scaring the two white haired kids ¨But no, I haven't bought anything¨

¨Care to explain what is that?¨ Claire, now even more confused, pointed at the siblings which were hiding behind Talon, especially after seeing the three noxians together.

¨My nephews¨ Fiora replied ¨My brother Ammdar is travelling alongside his wife and he begged me to take care of their off springs¨ The Champion grunted and looked at the two children.

¨Wait… can… can she be?¨ Rhea, the female sibling, muttered something after locking her eyes at Claire, she then turned to her brother and whispered something. The two of them walked past Talon, leaving their hiding spot. They got closer to the Summoner and tilted their heads, looking at every detail from the girl ¨By the Gods! It's Liz¨

¨What?!¨ Both Claire and Katarina shouted.

¨No Rhea, that's not Liz¨ Merc tapped his sister's back ¨She looks like her, but the hair and the eyes are different¨

¨Eyes?¨ The Redhead assassin turned her head at the Summoner and got closer to inspect her eyes ¨Well... it has started. They are already green¨

¨I don't care!¨ Claire kneeled in front of the kids, she tried to smile but they were a bit scared, especially since the snake-woman was behind the redhead, observing the young ones with her amber eyes ¨Hi… um… did you say Liz a second ago?¨ The two siblings looked at each other, nothing escaped from their lips, but a slight nod from Rhea ¨Well, I need to ask: Where did you met this Liz girl?¨

¨In the desert, the road from Shurima to Demacia¨ The girl's brother answered ¨Why are you looking for her?¨ He asked.

¨Liz is important to me, she's my sister¨

¨No way!¨ Rhea's eyes widened ¨You are Claire, the legendary Summoner that defeated Malzahar!¨

¨Legendary?¨ The earthling shook her head ¨I am afraid, you are mistaken, I'm not leg-¨

¨You are the one from our Uncle's stories!¨ Merc was who talked with surprise in his voice ¨How… how did you got here? Did you manage to recover your powers back? What about that time when-¨

¨Alright, alright, the beloved Summoner cannot stay that much here, that is why she needs to know where is Liz¨ Katarina stepped in between the kids and Claire, she wanted to leave the manor and Demacia as well.

¨Um… we don't know but… Liz was with Ezreal, they were trying to find someone¨

When the noxian duo heard the word someone coming out of the girl's mouth, the only person that came to their minds was the blonde mage from the Crownguard house which was now located in Zaun.

¨That is why I don't like kids, they don't tend to be that useful¨ Cassiopeia hissed from behind while crossing her arms as well.

¨Surprisingly as it may seem, this was quite useful¨ Claire muttered and stood up. She turned her head at the Sinister Blade and raised the sphere that was in her hand ¨If Liz is with Ezreal, and he is looking for Lux…¨

¨Then she is our primary target, sooner or later the two of them will show up¨

¨And this will be over¨ Claire whispered and walked away with the red haired to an empty space, so their portal could actually be casted ¨Ready?¨ She asked and Katarina nodded. The brown haired proceeded to raise her hand with the green glowing sphere.

But before throwing it, Talon grabbed her arm, avoiding the Summoner from casting the portal ¨I will warn you about something: There is something special about this things, not only they allow you to teleport to a certain place, but they also affect the time you are in¨ Claire frowned, unable to understand what he meant ¨In other words: Wherever you go, time will advance more than twenty four hours¨

¨What? We will lose an entire day trying to find Liz?!¨ She turned at Katarina ¨And you said this is the best way!¨

¨It is, unless you want to find someone who is willing to take two noxians to Zaun, it takes more than a single day. Especially after a Champion got killed mysteriously¨

Claire grunted ¨Fine, let's cross our fingers¨ Talon removed his grasp on the Summoner's arm and stood back ¨Let's do this¨

(October 10th 2015 – 2:40 PM – Zaun, Runeterra)

A portal opened in one of Zaun's alleyways. From the inside, the two noxians came out as if nothing, but in reality, the assassin looked everywhere in case there was anybody that spotted the girls, but thankfully, there was no one.

¨Everything looks… horrible¨ Claire muttered and watched her surroundings, seeing all the dark green and dark was completely different from the vivid colors of Demacia; even Noxus was brighter than the place they were in.

¨That is Zaun to you. Illegal experiments, toxic fumes, if it's toxic and kills people, probably it was made here¨ Katarina stepped forward and peeked out of the alleyway, but there were no movement, it felt as if the city was empty ¨No one's here, time to move¨

As they walked out of their arrival zone, the two girls walked together, their eyes were open in case they saw someone with a bright golden hair, either Ezreal or Lux served the purpose to find Liz.

¨Do you have any idea where Lux might be?¨ Claire asked, she was ready to unsheathe her blades in case someone decided to fight them, but according to the Champion, Zaun was an ally of Noxus so they wouldn't run into any trouble with the citizens.

¨The only thing we know about her is that she is in a mission for Demacia, probably considering she is an efficient spy, the first places that come to mind are Viktor's laboratory, Singed's chemical workshop or even the College of Techmaturgy¨

¨But there has to be a catch, right?¨ Katarina nodded, although she hasn't been in the City of Privileges that much, the only times she visited was mostly when Swain brought some of the Champions to this city.

¨For the most part, yes. The College is open to everyone, however if you want to get deeper into the place, you must be a student. On the other hand, Viktor and Singed have their places locked down, only a few selected people are allowed to go, and surprise, we aren't on that list¨ That last part came out as a bit of sarcasm from the Sinister Blade.

¨What do you have in mind then?¨

¨Zaun isn't that big, we can walk all around the city in a single day, we can ask around if they saw someone with golden hair, everyone is willing to talk if you give them money or they have a blade down their throats¨

The duo turned to left and saw the clean zone that was quite a few streets away from their position. They saw that there was a huge amount of people at the docks, looking at the ship that was now unloading some boxes from the lower decks. This generated some curiosity for Claire, but not for Katarina, she didn't seem happy or in her regular mood; she was scared, if not worried about the vessel with black and red sails.

¨We made a mistake coming here¨ The Champion whispered and pulled the Summoner, but the latter decided to stay there.

¨This is no mistake, we came here for Liz¨

¨No, you don't get it¨ She pointed at the docked ship ¨That thing over there is the Leviathan, Swain's personal ship¨

¨Wait, Swain's here?!¨

¨Along with many noxian troops and Champions¨ She now pointed at a person in the middle of the crowd, everyone was clapping at him, as if it was a celebrity. In reality it was probably his executioner feats and the immense ego (as well as his trademark moustache) that caused everyone to cheer for this man ¨Look over there, that's Draven, and if he is here, then it means Darius is too¨

¨You think they followed our trace?¨

Katarina shook and denied Claire's question ¨It would be impossible. But there is something I still ask myself: Swain brought almost all of the Champions from Noxus and a handful of troops. Why?¨

¨Wasn't there going to be a war with Demacia? Maybe they are trying to get closer to the enemy territory¨

The Champion sighed and shook her head once again ¨Beats me, all we should care about now is not to get found by any Champion, whether they are from Zaun or Noxus, this also includes soldiers, because if Swains discovers you… well, you can imagine¨

And the two of them kept walking, avoiding any person by running into the alleyways and hiding, especially every time the Sinister Blade sensed something that was nearby, sadly it was impossible to tell whether that person was a Champion or a Summoner.

When they returned to the streets, the earthling saw something in the distance. Between all the green and dark colors, there was something yellow, almost golden shining in the distance. The girls ran after that and saw who it belonged to.

The brown explorer clothes and the gauntlet in his arm revealed that the blond person was no other than Ezreal. He was quite sad, looking at the ground and with some tears falling into the ground, but most importantly, he was alone, no sign of a little girl nor the Crownguard mage.

¨Liz is not with him…¨ Katarina whispered, but as soon as she turned to look at her friend, Claire was already rushing at the Piltovian, but not with peaceful intentions.

Ezreal noticed a presence that was getting closer, but when he tried to discover what that presence was, he was thrown to the ground, with a furious Summoner on top of him.

¨WHERE. IS. MY. SISTER?!¨ Claire growled and grabbed his shirt.

¨W-what? I don't know you!¨ He tried to shook his head and remove the tears from his eyes, but it didn't help.

¨Where is Liz, WHERE IS MY SISTER, GODDAMNIT?!¨

¨Liz?¨ He widened his eyes ¨Oh shit, I lost her!¨ He tried to get back on his feet but Claire was stronger than him ¨You must be Claire, right? Get off me so we can find-¨

Ezreal was interrupted by a heavy punch from the Summoner who hit the blond on the face, leaving him unconscious on the ground. From behind, Kat ran towards the brunette and looked at the knocked Champion ¨Why did you do that?¨

¨I… I…¨ Claire stood up ¨Sorry; I lost control for a second¨

¨Yeah, I noticed¨ The Sinister Blade replied and tapped at Ezreal's side with her boot ¨However, that was quite the punch you gave to him¨

¨Thanks… I guess¨ The Summoner scratched the back of her head, looking at each side but there were few people who didn't care about a stranger laying on the ground.

¨Come on¨ Katarina grabbed the piltovian's legs ¨We can't leave him here; once he wakes up, we'll ask him about Liz¨

And with that, everyone is in Zaun (Matt still needs the arrival chapter which will be the next one) Yes, I will explain what happened to Ezreal, although I doubt it's going to be in this cycle.

So... new Champion, correct? Ta...li...yah, weird name, probably gonna call her Tali in game. She is Shuriman, is an earth-bender and hates noxians, also Yasuo was her ¨mentor¨ and recommended her to go to Freljord. I can see the pairing already, although my YasuoxRiven ship cannot be sinked. I still don't know where she's going, probably mid, or top, but if I know something about Riot, is that they are going to make her kit weird (I mean, look Aurelion and Illaoi)

KyuubiNoPuma: Yess Meeseeks is back! He's my favorite character of all pet characters...

I like to write characters that have pets/companions (Quinn for example), it's nice to see them interact with my OCs

Canwewrite: Yeeeee!

Wait, URF is finished?
Wonderful! I can't stand spam ing. Ahhhhhhhhh

After getting 3 keys, I got bored of URF (Spamming AP Kog, 'copter Jax an Kha was killing me) Thank God.

So... Matt next and is going to show the other side of the breakout, as well as some other stuff, and yes, also how he and the officers get to Zaun.

But anyway, new chapter up and although it is not long, there's some more interaction with more OCs and game characters!

Time's up for me, as I roll into bed, and tell you this:

See you in the next chapter ;)
