Welcome to chapter 2!
Anyways, this doesn't have any relations to chapter 1. This one exist when Annie was originally from the Voodoo Lands with an actual shadow bear. That change was honestly the one thing I didn't like about the change in lore. That and the Voodoo Lands being taken out to just some random space on the outskirt of Noxus.
Anyways I hope you all enjoy!
Nautilus, a man forever cursed to be trapped in a diver's suit. His eyes glowed red with eerie power. His hulking metal figure creaked and groaned as the earth shook with each of step. The forest around him reeked of magic, yet Nautilus ignored the dark feelings of the forest and continued to march on.
Eventually Nautilus walked out of the tree line to see a small village before him. Nautilus paused as he recognized that a barrier was before him. Slowly Nautilus walked up towards the barrier. Reaching out to touch it, Nautilus hesitated when he heard a small voice call out.
"Have you seen Tibbers?"
Looking down Nautilus sees a small red headed girl in a purple dress. In her arms was a well-loved teddy bear. The little girl looked up at Nautilus with an innocent look, yet Nautilus could feel the magic that was building up around the little girl.
"No…" Nautilus deep voice rumbled.
The little girls magic growth paused until it disappeared. The little girl just tilted her head at the giant before she smiled broadly.
"I'm Annie, do you want to play?" Annie asked the metal titan.
"Nautilus…Yes…" the titan said.
"Yeah!" Annie cheered as she started to walk away. She looked back to see Nautilus still standing at the barrier. She quickly waved him over.
Nautilus slowly walked through the magical barrier that separated the village from the dark lands around it. Annie quickly led Nautilus through the town. Many of the villagers stared at Nautilus as he passed them. Some started to call upon their magic but stopped once they saw who was leading the metal giant.
The villagers knew never to get between Annie and her toys.
Annie eventually led Nautilus to a clearing that had a small table in the middle.
"Sit sir Nauty, I'll pour you a cup of tea." Annie giggled as she pretended to pour a cup.
Nautilus hesitated until Annie looked back up at him. Kneeling down onto one knee, Nautilus waited until Annie held out a saucer and cup for him. Nautilus gingerly reached down and grabbed the cup. He slowly lifted the cup to his dark visage. He was about to pretend drink before he heard Annie huff in annoyance.
Looking down at the fire mage Nautilus saw a scowl on Annie's face as she crossed her arms.
"Nauty, you're supposed to stick your pinky out as you drink." Annie said with a huff.
Nautilus stared at the little girl for a moment before slowly sticking his pinky out. As soon as he did that Annie smiled and seemingly bounced back to her seat. She started to chatter away with her other stuff animals.
In the distance a few people had gathered and started to whisper about the sight before them. Nautilus's gaze was almost always on them. Annie however, was non-pulsed and continued to talk to Nauty and her stuffed animals.
Eventually a lady walked towards the tea party. She carried herself with confidence, yet Nautilus could see her caution in her movements.
"Annie dear, it's time for dinner," the lady said, "You will have to say bye to your friend."
Annie pouted as she looked up to the women.
"But mom, me and Nauty are having our tea party."
"I see that sweetie, but I am sure Nauty here has somewhere else to be."
At this both women turned to Nautilus. Nautilus said nothing before he looked back towards the horizon.
"I go… I be back… to play again…" Nautilus said as he gently put down his tea cup.
Annie pouted before smiling again. She ran up to Nautilus boot and hugged him.
"Come back soon, please?" Annie said looking up at the metal giant.
"Of course…" Nautilus said, gently touching the little girl's head.
With that Nautilus stood up and began his march away from the small village in the dark land. He waved goodbye as Annie and her mother left his sight
