Alright ladies and gents. We're back haha. I just wanted to say that school is about to start for me and I may not be able to upload as frequently but I'll still try my best to :))

Thanks so much for 1.5 k views so far this month, the story is currently on around 3.7 k I think? Which is still a small number Ik but it makes me happy xd:)

I know I haven't updated as frequently as school is about to start for me and this is my final year in HS :( Not to mention that I have some assignments that I was supposed to finish but haven't quite done so for some, kinda wanna chuck that shit in the bed and watch that mofo burn in hell.

Anyways, once school starts tomorrow I will probably be updating less frequently, I will try to do one at least every 2 weeks but I really don't know, this year it's the game 7 of the NBA finals and we all know that my man bron woulda killed the warriors if he had a better team xd, jokes the warriors were actually good though not going to lie.

We'll be focusing back on Ez's journey today but don't forget about Caitlyn and Vi

"Pier 3…...pier 3….ahh, there it is." The blonde smiled to himself as he walked up to a beautiful wooden ship. There was what appeared to be a mermaid lying on the bow of the vessel which was done in extreme detail and still looked relatively fresh considering this was a "battle ship"and Ezreal expected the vessel to sail under harsh conditions and everything.

He heard the commanding but yet alluring voice of the redhead who was currently untying something, perched high up on the mast of the ship. Ezreal watched as several beefy but healthy looking sailors were loading crates and barrels onto the ship via the gangplank.

Ezreal stood there and stared up at the ship, the men loading stuff onto it and what appeared to be Sarah Fortune, still loosening the sails, perched atop the mast.

"Excuse me sir, but would that be Sarah Fortune perched up there?" Ezreal asked a nearby sailor who was carrying a crate of oranges and about to board the gangplank. The man who was of shuriman decent stood next to Ezreal to trace his line of sight before he let out a "Ahh"

"Yes laddie, that's Captain Sarah Fortune for you, what business do you have with her." he asked.

"Oh ehm….could you just tell her that Ezreal is here to see her?" he asked politely as he shuffled his hands in his pockets whilst shifting his shoulders as they were becoming tired.

"Hmmm….fine then, if you must….Captain Fortune!" he hollered as he cupped his hands around his mouth to amplify the sound.

Ezreal's sapphire eyes noticed a flurry of flaming red hair turn and a subtle "Yea!" came from above.

"There's a young laddie here called Ezreal, says he wants to see you." he called out, rather stupidly as people passing by the docks were now starting to look at him awkwardly.

The captain pulled out her telescope and extended the lens to get a good look before she laughed and grabbed a rope which immediately took her down from the mast all the way to the port floor in 1 swift movement.

"Thank you Max, you may leave now." She said as she turned to face the muscular shuriman crewmate.

"Aye captain….good day...Ezreal" he said with a nod as he hauled his crate of oranges up the gangplank and disappeared from view.

"Ezreal…..what brings you here to Bilgewater at this time of day." She asked as she re-adjusted her had which had come loose.

"Oh ehm Sarah uhh, I've gotta get to Ionia today for an important meeting, do you mind if…..well if you could give me a lift basically hehe." he chuckled nervously as her intimidating green eyes studied him.

"Well Ezreal…..you know I have limited space on board and although we are good friends, I cannot simply allow you to board and…." she stopped midway to see an old man who was walking past them, drooling as his left hand fell to his crotch area, his wrinkled eyelids now forced open as he eyed up Sarah Fortune.

"What are you looking at…." she snapped and drew one of her pistols from her holster causing the old pervert to quickly run off in the distance.

"Sorry about that…..oh yes well." she said before reupholstering her pistol, not even having to look at her actions signifying how many times she had done so before.

"ehh…...Piltover Representative Ajax said I was to board your vessel…...here look" Ezreal muttered as he pulled out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her.

Her fingers slowly unfolded it as her green eyes scanned the paper.

"Champion Ezreal, The Prodigal Explorer is hereby given permission to use all and any assets by means of transport in order to ensure his journey to the coast of Ionia is as quick as possible…..signed…..Eli Walker…...representative of Bilgewater….." she read aloud before her green eyes met his blue ones as he waited nervously.

"Pfffft, you may be given permission…..but guess what blondie." she said as she held her gaze with him whilst folding the paper back into the square and roughly shoving it back into his trouser pocket.

"It's my ship and I'm the skipper…...so my call is…..no, find someone else to taxi you around." she said spitefully as she flicked around elegantly, her flaming red hair tickling his face as she walked up the gangplank.

Ezreal was about to walk away in disappointment, wondering why the captain was somewhat pissed off at him before he heard a commotion behind him.

The captain had reached the end of the gangplank and stepped aboard her ship before doing an elegant 360 spin, a bit like that Mike Jackson guy or whatever Ekko used to show him.

Her stern and hateful expression melted away and it was replaced by a big toothy smile. "I'm only joking Ez, come on aboard." she said, laughing at his confused face before a smile replaced the frown and the blonde ran up the gangplank.

"Set sail boys!" Sarah shouted as she stood before the wheel as the men all hollered an "Aye captain" as they got to work, hoisting the sails and pulling up the anchor.

It was around noon and Sarah had hoped to reach Ionia next morning to drop Ezreal off before they proceeded further up north to the Frejlord to make some drop offs.

"Uhm Sarah, is there a room that I can stay in perhaps, if it's not too much to ask for" The blonde asked politely as he tapped the captain on the shoulder as she moved the wheel.

"The cabins down below should be free but you will have to share it though….." she said

"Arghh her voice is honestly so alluring" he thought to himself before slapping himself mentally whilst trying to keep a straight face.

"Oh who with….." he said, flicking a strand of his blonde hair as hoped and prayed she would say "me"

"Yea…..yea I'm coming just wait" Ekko muttered as he paused his game and threw the controller on his bed. He took a sip of the large green soda lying on the table before walking over and opening the door lazily.

"HIii Ekko!" a small little girl said happily as she jumped up and down in front of the Zaunite.

"Heyy Zoe, how are you…. Lemme guess" he said as he pretended to think. "Portal travels again"

"Yes sir!" she beamed happily as the zaunite chuckled before patting her on the head to which she blushed a little.

"Well Zoe, whatcha got this time." he asked as the little girl fumbled around from inside her small bag and pulled out a longish roundish red thing along with multiple green colored discs and a black square like object that was pretty large.

"Wow, you really have been snatching things from other planets now have you." Ekko chuckled as he had to cradle all the items that the little girl had just piled into his arms whilst standing tip toed.

"Hoped between portals into Earth again!" she smiled as Ekko examined each item with great interest before he muttered a "hang on a minute".

Zoe smiled as the zaunite disappeared for a second to dump the items on his bed before walking out to the little girl who seemed to be peering into his room discreetly, pretending not to be but failing miserably as Ekko practically saw her poking her small head into the room.

"Ahh Zoe, what can I do for you in return?" he said politely as he squatted down a little to get up to her height, making her feel more comfortable.

"Is Ezreal here?" she said quietly with a huge blush on her face.

"Uhm...no, he left a while ago to ehh….." Ekko paused for a second, Ezreal never told him where he was going and the 2 of them were pretty good friends.

"I actually have no idea where he is to be honest, he's probably on another adventure of his…." Ekko said, a slight hint of jealousy in his eyes.

"Aww, well when he returns, tell him that Zoe said hi." she squeaked before darting away from his doorway and disappeared out of sight.

The zaunite chuckled before shaking his head and closing the door behind him. Today was his off day and the Zaunite had just spent the entire day playing on his console and eating junk food.

"Some sort of speaker I think…...that's a cool b logo there…...feels quite light though" he muttered as he placed the long red object back on the bed before he stacked up all the small green boxes and went through each of them.

"Call of duty? GTAV? Left 4 Dead? What the hell are all these." The zaunite said with a curious face as he traced the front cover of each of them.

"For XBOX 1… I have no clue what the hell that all is" he said, sounding like a caveman who was seeing society for the first time. Stashing all the boxes together on the bedside table, he then turned to the other object. It was silver and square shaped, no thicker than a few inches and was extremely light. The object also had a black logo which resembled a half bitten apple or whatever that was.

"I'll figure it out later…" he muttered to himself as grabbed his controller and resumed the game. He was actually so focused on playing that he didn't even hear the knocks on his door.

"OPEN UP SILLY I CAN HEAR YOU IN THERE!" He heard a familiar voice come from outside.

"Not now, not now please I'm really busy." he yelled out, his eyes not even leaving the TV screen.

There was a whirring and mechanical sound before the Zaunite's wooden door was smashed into smithereens as smoke trailed in from the outside.

"HOLY SHIT!" he exclaimed, throwing the controller aside and his legs sprawled out, knocking his beverage and the contents on the table aside as a blue haired girl strolled in.

"Oh shit oh shit oh shit…..no….." he hissed as his green soda spilled all over the console, causing steam to come out of it.

"EKKO!" she yelled and walked over to hug him.

"Gaah, Jinx why'd you break down my goddamn door man, that shit needs to be fixed now." Ekko said through gritted teeth as he stared hopelessly at the broken pieces of wood lying everywhere.

"Fishbones and I wanted to see you." she said and lay on his bed casually as if she owned it.

"Jinx….get out please, I..am not in the mood now" he said in a calm but angry tone.

"Hmmpf, make me Ekko" she laughed as she propper her head up on both hands.

The Zaunite sighed, this was going to be challenging.

"Ahhh…..so this is where I'm staying…...cool" Ezreal said sarcastically as he squeezed himself between the tight space to reach the small cot in the corner of the room. The room was extremely basic, just a cot, a toilet and a cabinet in the corner, not something that was exactly high class.

"Well, at least it's not too bad….I do get a free ride…" he thought to himself as he laid his pack and other things near the foot of his bed before he rested for a little.

The sun was starting to set, casting a beautiful apocalypse orange hue in the sky, the light accenting the curves of The Syren which sailed up North at a relatively fast pace. Few sailors remained on deck as most were either eating, playing cards or having a rest down below.

Ezreal who felt bored to tears in his little room and decided to take a stroll round the ship. He passed a couple of men who were doing something to one of the cannons which currently had a chain wrapped around it. Several other men were sharing a bottle of booze and playing cards and offered for the explorer to join to which he politely declined.

He strolled up on deck and leaned against the wood on the right side of the ship, his eyes glued to the horizon afar, losing himself in the orange hue cast by the setting sun, the slightly shimmering water in the distance and the shadow of gulls flying off in the soft cawing of the gulls and the gentle swooshing of water as the streamline hull of the ship cut through the white water was not only cool to look at but also calmed the explorer down, putting his mind at ease.

It just looked so peaceful and serene, Ezreal could easily have stayed there and stared at the same view for hours and not get bored. Thoughts of the expedition began to run through his head as he stared off into the distance, his mind occupied with the expedition he was about to undertake.

"So let's just get this straight, a powerful artifact created by ancient Ionian Sorcerers has an immeasurable power and this power when delivered in the right hands can bring upon an unfair advantage and can stop this Noxian invasion of Ionia, no one knows how or what it does. Yet not alot of people seem to know about its very own existence….. Even Ryze who is an ancient sorcerer doesn't know, Nasus doesn't know although he did point me to some books that mentioned something about it but there was no concrete evidence to support the theory and just drawings and stuff. Meanwhile, Caitlyn and Vi are working to try and catch a Noxian spy in Piltover who has some important documents also about an expedition….." He paused for a second.

"Hmmmm…...what if the Noxian's know about this quest as well…..could they also be searching for the same artifact?" he wondered to himself as he tapped his fingers on the smooth wood handrails at an increased pace as he thought of the possibility of having to race the Noxians in such a quest.

"Come to think of it, if this artifact has been lost for so long, how the hell did Ajax or the Noxians learn of it…...Ryze did say it was 9 to 10th century so…" he thought as more and more confusing ideas filled his head as he continued to stare off into the sunset.

"No can't be, they said that the documents were probably just a decoy right….has to be.." he thought as something cut the peaceful silence

"Beautiful isn't it" an alluring voice came from behind him.

The blonde quickly turned over in a panic but calmed down when he saw that it was just Sarah Fortune, standing next to her wheel.

"Oh, Sarah, what brings you out here." he asked.

"Tsch, Tsch I think you mean Captain Fortune she said with a sultry giggle, flashing him her signature wink as she started walking towards him.

"Well?" she said as she stood next to him, her tangy orange scent filling his nostrils as he tried hard not to admire her curvaceous body, accented by the soft orange light in the sky.

"Well I just came out here as it was cramped in my room and all….it's just so peaceful out here." he said as he pointed to the horizon which was slowly starting to fade.

"Oh yes…...first time I sailed the seas, I too was captivated by this view.." she sighed as she leaned next to him and the 2 champions watched the sun fade away over the horizon as the sky turned darker.

"Ezreal….." she said all of a sudden.

"Yea?"

"What business do you have in Ionia that requires the authorization of a high councilor?" she asked as she turned to her right to face him, slanting down and propping her head up with her elbow which rested on the smooth wood surface of the rail, her sea green eyes staring up at him.

"Ehmmmmm" he muttered as he quickly thought of an excuse. Sarah wasn't from Noxus obviously and he believed that she could keep his secret and all but he wanted to be careful.

"Well, I have some…..business to attend for the institute and uhmmm you know…." he said trying to stall time so that he could think of something.

"High councillor Ajax and high councillor walker are really good friends so…...they just thought they'd do me a favor and…...give me a lift that's it….just a kind gesture that's all." he muttered although he cringed at how unbelievable and garbage of a story that was.

Sarah laughed a little and shook her head as she continued to stare up at the blonde.

"I don't know why but I'm tempted to call bullshit on that Ezreal…." she laughed as she flipped herself around so that her back was now leaning against the railing, pushing her chest out slightly.

"Ehh….. no, no that's really whats happening" he stuttered….he wasn't particularly good at lying, his parents had always taught him that one of the foundations of being a good person was to always be truthful and honest.

Sarah looked at him with a "Come on now I ain't got time for this" look and he gulped.

"Well okay, whatever you say." she said with a smirk and stroked his face before heading in the opposite direction, strutting to make sure he saw.

The blonde's sapphire eyes were glued to those swaying hips and Sarah didn't have to make the first move as a "Wait, where are you going." came out of his mouth.

Ezrea didn't want to admit but he didn't want to spend the journey all by himself. He was quite a sociable guy and would often try to spend time and hangout with other people rather than sit in silence in the corner…..just wasn't his character.

"I'm just going to my room dear….wouldn't want to disrupt your peace." she smirked, knowing well what he was going to do.

"Uhmmmm, do you think I can accompany you there?" he said sounding desperate. It wasn't so much the loneliness which drove him to be honest, what really drove him was the unexpected wave of lust that had hit him ever since he eyed up Sarah's thick, curvy body when the 2 conversed. Ezreal felt really bad for treating her as some sort of prostitute but he couldn't hold back his lusty desires.

"Ezreal you don't have to be concerned about my safety….i do have 2 big guns" she giggled, putting extra emphasis on the "big guns" and she knew that he knew what she meant.

"Damn it….." he hissed before he strolled forward and caught up to her. Sarah laughed at his actions silently because she saw how flustered the cute blonde was getting but also because she knew that she could force him to give up everything he knew and reveal what he really was doing in Ionia.

Sarah was never one to poke around and be nosey on other's business but she did always try gain as much information as usual as she never knew when or how it may or may not benefit her in the future. Growing up in bilgewater where everyone was scamming each other, you learn a thing or to and very soon, the rule to gaining power in bilgewater was to always know what your enemy or ally was doing in order not to be hit by any big surprises.

The captain knew that blondie was going on some important trip to have gained authorization from 2 councillors but couldn't exactly ponder on what it was but nonetheless, she knew exactly how to squeeze that information out of him…

Feeling a surge of confidence pulse through his body, Ezreal wrapped his arms around Sarah's curvy hips and gave her a small hug, a somewhat bold gesture of him saying "I want you". Feeling a little excited, Sarah decided to play a prank on blondie.

She turned around, her eyes burning with anger as she watched the transition from his cocky grin to a shy smile as he stared down in embarrassment. She grabbed him by the collar and dragged him all the way to her room, feeling the excitement pulse within her as she increased her pace.

The mere thought of corrupting a youngman and making him spill anything she wanted in the bedroom was definitely a turn on for the captain and she secretly had a small fetish for doing it with young naive teenagers…..although Ezreal wasn't what one would typically call naive

Ezreal meanwhile was feeling half excited and half afraid at the same time. He had caught glimpses of her checking him out earlier when the 2 met down at the docks and he had a gut feeling that he could use this to try and bed her..but hey….he was still a teenager afterall with a head full of testosterone.

Click. The door opened and Sarah pulled blondie into her room before fastening the deadbolt and lock to ensure no one would come into the room.

"Now…" she said as she walked over and placed her arms on his shoulders.

"It's rude to grope a women in public you know…" she said sultrily as she bit her finger, admiring his cute face as he blushed.

"Yes….." he mumbled in embarrassment. The pirate laughed as she noticed his expression, gone was his arrogant little grin all along and was now nothing but a shy kid who was getting scolded for doing something indecent.

"Well, I believe that you must be punished then…" she said with a lewd smirk, that look was really turning him on.

"Yes?" he muttered

"Strip." she ordered.

"Wait what?" he said, his mind replaying what she had just said in confusion.

"Strip…." she ordered as he quickly threw off his shirt and jacket letting her admire his fit upper torso.

"The pants too…." she ordered, her mouth salivating a little when blondie rather embarrassingly removed his brown trousers and she caught a glimpse of the bulge within his black boxers before he quickly moved his hands to cover it.

"The boxers….as well." she ordered as he blushed furiously.

"Uhm...well...how bout you?" he asked rather stupidly as he immediately regretted his decision.

" Fair enough…." she said before taking off her leather jacket and unclasping her red bra, letting her massive tits fall out. The explorer's sapphire eyes widened to the size of saucers as he saw how big and firm her breasts were, noticing how they didn't sag at all.

He felt a pulse of excitement below and suddenly didn't quite feel embarrassed about being naked for some reason. He fumbled with the hem of his boxers and pulled them down, letting his cock bounce freely.

Sarah licked her lips as she took note of his erection. It wasn't as huge as other's and stood at around 7 inches but it was pretty smooth and she noticed that he had shaved off all of his hair which gave it that teenage look that sh festished about.

She dropped her harsh expression for a little and extended her arm, leading him to her bed.

"Damn it Jinx, when are you going to learn how to knock and behave properly, now look what you've done." Ekko hissed as he wiped away the soda spill on his wood floor as jinx returned with a mop. The Zaunite had forced her to help clean up with him considering she shot down his bloody door and caused all this mess.

"Jinx…" he said as he stopped wiping for a second.

"Yess Ekko cookie?" she said, not really focusing on the task at hand.

"When are you going to stop it with these shenanigans Jinx, this is the 2nd time in the past 2 weeks.

"Sorry Ekko cookie, I just wanted to see you…..you're the only person who doesn't really hate me" she muttered, completely breaking character for a split second as the zaunite felt a tinge of sadness within her voice.

"Ughh I appreciate it Jinx but you gotta be considerate about others…..don't just come bursting in like a…...terrorist at a tea party…...he blurted out. (If anyone knows where that quote "barging in like a bunch of terrorists at a tea party is from, PM me, you a goat.)

"WAHHHHH!" Jinx wailed as she weeped on the floor.

"Oh…...Jinx please don't cry" Ekko said as he picked up the sobbing girl and gave her a girl.

The crying stopped immediately and Jinx leaned back with a grin as she stared into his brown eyes…

"Did she just fake crying so that I would hug her?" Ekko thought to himself as Jinx began to laugh.

"Haha, don't force a girl to clean up now…...byeeee" she yelped before grabbing fishbones and darting out of the room.

"God damn it, one day I'm going to kill that girl I swear…." he muttered as he sat alone in the room filled with junk.

"AHHHHHHH" the blonde cried out as he bucked his hips and shot his pent up creamy milk into the redhead below him as they both panted heavily. Ezreal pulled his length out of her, letting loose a bunch of their juices which fell onto the bed below before collapsing next to her. The blonde was exhausted from Sarah's unusual interrogation methods. She had held him on edge for such a long time, periodically stopping to get an answer out to him.

Unfortunately, due to his desire to finish and the pain that she was causing, Ezreal ended up spilling everything and told her what he was going for and it was only after that she finally allowed him to cum.

As he lay there in post orgasmic bliss, the curvaceous captain wrapping her arms around him as they slept. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty for revealing such information so easily

"Arghhh I feel bad…..but Sarah's a good friend and she won't tell anyone I think." he thought to himself as he too fell asleep from their intense session.

Right, I'm sorry if some parts of that were cringey and stuff, I'm still trying to fix it (ESP the ekko and jinx part) ugggh.

Didn't mean to include any small lemons in this chapter but I did it for some story and character development. I also want to add that brief lemons such as the once in this chapter and chapter 1 which skip most of the juicy parts and get right to the end are not meant to be full lemons and are just there to either give the reader some character development and to convey the point of"They just had sex" instead of actually saying it.

1-We now know that Ezreal tends to get a little clumsy during sex and could potentially spill information if he is forced to between the sheets. Something which may affect him in the future

2-This is to defy a stereotype that I think people have formed. I read a comment by WaddleBuff a long time ago and I agree with it to be honest. I think that Miss Fortune is a strong and determined woman who wouldn't just whore herself out to other people. She seems like the kind of person who would only do it to gain information or gain leverage over people or if she had some other specific purpose and I don't think she has a "I'm a free fuck guys, come over and sample me" vibe to it. IDK, just personal preference.

Still working on bits and pieces, hope you guys enjoyed it. I'm sorry for uploading less frequently as mentioned before. School is about to start and I may be uploading less when that happens.

And yes, Zoe has a thing for Ezreal i think BUT THERE WILL BE NO GODDAMN LEMONS OR I'M GOING TO JAIL XD

Have a good day and stay safe all:)

Next chapter will be Ezreal's arrival in Ionia.
