Enjoy the chapter :D
Ionia, Navori 18:20
The Market of Navori better known as "The Place that brings Runeterra together" is a district where people all around Runeterra gather and sell goods from their Homeland, Fjeljordians, Demacians, Bilgies, Shurimians all gather here but the place is mostly populated by the engineers of Piltover and Zaun.
As the Captain and the Lieutenant go through the place not finding anything of interest, or better yet, nothing in their budget, they stumble upon a Shuriamian Book, that was covered in dirt and reeked of old age.
"The Tale of the Darkins? Is that not a Shurimian child's tale told to them before sleep?" The Captain asks curiously.
"It is indeed as you say, young lady, you've heard this story?" The old merchant Asks.
"Well, not this one but I've owned books about Darkins before and this book sounds intriguing, I think I'll buy it, how much?"
"Good to know that someone else shares the same interest as I do towards the Darkins, their tales of war were fascinating, at least, for a child's book, It'll only be 2 coppers." The man responds.
"Finally something I'll be able to afford." Irelia mumbles.
As Irelia turned her back to the merchant, she heard her Lieutenant ask an interesting question.
"Do you believe them to be real, Mr?" Sarah asks.
"If I tell you I do, would you take me for an insane man?" The merchant questions.
"I certainly would not."
"Then yes, I indeed do."
After buying the book from the old merchant, Irelia and Sarah decided to head back to the Placidium of Navori but before that, Irelia begged Sarah to buy her roasted Chicken legs, since she was starving and broke.
"Oh myyyyy, this tastes so good! Its been so long since I've had something this delicious, I owe you my life, Sarah." Says The Captain as she brutally devours the chicken
"If I don't take care of you, who would? The lieutenant replies with a grin on her face.
"Exac... Wait, arbe yobu shaying thaat I chan't takhe cbhare of myshhelf?
"Oh god, please don't talk with your mouth full, also, we're almost at the palace, so finish it quickly."
"Okhay."
*After the meeting*
"This is unacceptable! Why are the elders not agreeing for a full-on assault?!" A man in white and gold armor protests.
"Because it is reckless, you fool."
"What?! Who was that?
"It was me, you fool."
"WHO?"
As the man turns around, his eyes freeze in terror when he realizes who he was talking to.
"Shit..."
"Hey Bolin, how are you?
"OOOH it's you, Captain, I couldn't recognize your voice, hahaha, I'm doing p..perfect what about you?
"I'm doing good."
"You know what this means, right?" The Captain questions.
"I have to clean the ship?" Bolin asks.
"Bingo."
"Damn it."
20 Minutes Later
After the 2 brunettes left the Placidium, Irelia and Sarah were discussing their thoughts on the matter.
"It seems the elders are going for another Skirmish, I wonder why." The sword-wielding Lieutenant asks.
"They are trying to get the land back slowly, instead of risking an all-out assault and losing the whole war in a matter of hours. The Captain replies.
Irelia was right, losing an all-out war would mean the end of Ionia, but the last 4 Skirmishes have been in Ionias favor, Am I simply overthinking this? Or is there something else going on behind our backs.
"Yes Captain, you're right."
"It looks like its getting late, I think we should part our ways here, if something serious happens come find me in my room, ill be reading the book that I bought earlier, till tomorrow, Sarah," Irelia said as she disappeared from the Lieutenants sight.
"Yes, Goodnight." Sarah thought to herself.
Shurima, Nerimazeth 18:30
"ALL SOLDIERS, ATTACK!" Shouts the battle-hardened War-Bringer before charging into the battlefield.
