Own nothing, League of Legends is from Riot, on with the story!
Chapter 2. Deals on the table.
-What? Rosark asked while trying to think he heard wrong. –"No, I do not wish to aid you in saving your job, and regarding the League tossing me out, that is my problem, good day summoner." Udyr got up from his meditation and left the garden while Karma approached Rosark. She spoke trying to reassure him –"Give him time, you knew it wouldn't be easy." Rosark sighed and looked at no one in particular, he left his eyes drift while speaking –"Time is the only thing I don't have now".
The Spirit Walker was walking in the Serene garden, he didn't really cared about the words of Rosark, he accepted the apology, even if it seemed rushed thanks to the situation he was in, still, he wasn't one to forgive his betrayal so easily, still, he felt Rosark wasn't lying about him caring now. The Walker felt a presence near him on the garden.
-"Hello, what is bothering your mind Udyr" Lee Sin, the Blind Monk, a personal friend of him as it was thanks to him that he could find the inner peace in the Monastery. He just answered –"Is nothing big Lee, just thinking." Lee sighed –"My eyes might not work, but even I can see something is bothering you"
Udyr sighed –"No way to hide anything from you blind monk?" Lee chuckled –"What is there to hide from a man that can't see?" Both of them chuckled at that, still Udyr sighed, and decided that if there was someone who might have an answer would be Lee. –"A summoner came looking for me, he asked me for help, but I refused him, it seems he also wished to help me as the League wants me gone"
Lee face was without reaction, he just hummed, looking for an answer in his mind and just told the obvious to Udyr –"I'm guessing Rosark is here then?" Udyr sighed –"How..." He didn't finish the question when Lee answered –"Heard from people that he was here, also I heard lady Karma of his visit."
-"I'm not sure of what to do, I can't just forgive what he did Lee, he betrayed me in a moment his help would have been of use" Lee sighed and expressed his opinion –"The past remains, no act will undo it, but you might as well look at the future ahead, I shall leave you to meditate my friend" Before he was gone Udyr asked something. –"What would you do Lee?"
Lee answered without turning his back –"The actions of one may sunder the world, but the efforts of many may rebuild it" The wisdom of the monk that had suffered deeply in the past. The words were left in his mind while he took the road to the monastery.
On a house on the Placidium, Karma was sharing a tea with the summoner Rosark. The Enlightened One had offered him the chance for a tea since it had been long since their last chat. –"Sit please, I will get the tea" while she went for it, he just sat on the floor, this time letting himself fall on it, extending his arms and legs trying to feel all around him.
He just liked letting himself on the floor, to feel the little vibration of steps around, he might have to get used to it, if he lost his position in the institute, he would probably pass time like that, he couldn't really enjoy the feel of the floor as he heard the sound of Karma clearing her throat.
-"Sit properly please, you are a guest, but I'm not letting you act like that." He sighed –"On it boss." Karma didn't really cared if he was on the floor, but she liked to get a reaction from him, over the past they had become friends, as Rosark wasn't exactly a textbook summoner, he wasn't supposed to make friends with champions or get involved in their business, but that was exactly what made him a friend.
-"Are you still worried about Udyr?" she spoke while serving him tea in a cup –"Is hard to not worry, I can't believe he doesn't care about the League tossing him out" Karma chuckled while serving tea for her –"I think is nice you worry about your friend more than for you own" he sighed at her words –"I don't think I got the right to call myself his friend, I will have to make a trip to Piltover in a few days" he took a bit of tea while Karma spoke.
-"May I ask the reason for going to Piltover?" she sipped her tea while he just scratched the back of his neck –"The Enforcer is a friend of mine, I will ask her to fight with me, if things go well I could at least get some points and prove I'm not that bad to the Institute." Karma smiled at him thinking it was good he knew so many of the champions –"That is a good plan, I wish you success on it" He left his tea cup on the table and sighed –"Thing is, is not that great of a plan, it only solves my problem, not the one of Udyr"
Karma nodded in understanding, the reason he had come to Ionia wasn't to make Udyr fight for him, rather, he wished to help Udyr on not getting tossed out, even if that didn't helped him in the end. –"I'm sure Udyr would accept your help, if you try again." He just smiled at Karma, he couldn't thank her for always have something to say to him, even if it wasn't something he hoped to hear.
-"Thank you Karma, I might give it another try soon, speaking of soon, how are things going around with Syndra?" At her mention Karma seemed to frown, though it was just for a second, but he could have sworn he had frowned –"She is…up around, her flying fortress is going around Ionia all the time, so we got no way to stop her."
He seemed surprised at the way she spoke –"Aren't you speaking as if she was a criminal?" Karma immediately answered back –"She killed her master, and has sworn revenge against the elders of Ionia, she is a threat as long as she is free" Karma seemed furious, though he kept calm and answered –"Yet, we have no signal of her, nor news of any attack to any elder, in fact, she has only fought you in the League a few times on the Rift, and even then, she didn't seemed to put much focus on you"
Karma sighed –"You almost seem to care for her" he just chuckled –"There comes a point in which you just know that people aren't as you think" Karma chuckled –"So you are telling me, old summoners know when someone is good or bad?" he chuckled at this and answered –"More like, we just know they don't really care, take Zed for example, he had many chances to go around killing Shen on the rift, yet he focuses more on winning the battle as a whole rather than just focusing on him."
Karma seemed to smile a bit at his words –"You really don't see anyone as truly evil do you?" he smiled –"I think there are few things over there I could call evil, but I don't see much of them, I rather avoid problems, Zed and Syndra are not problems." Karma sighed in defeat; she wouldn't win this particular debate. –"Tell you what; if you can actually make Zed and Syndra visit for the festival of Fire, I will reconsider your words."
The festival of Fire, with summer almost near the festival was a tradition he enjoyed from Ionia, with the whole issue of his position in risk he had forgotten about the festival. –"Agreed, I will make both of them come to the festival." Both raised their cups in a sign of the deal was made. He would later check how to convince Syndra and Zed for coming to the festival, for now he had a more pressuring manner, asking Udyr once again.
He went on the morning to the Monastery, luckily he didn't had a hard time finding Udyr, he was on the gate, he seemed to be waiting for someone. –"Took you long enough to come." Was he waiting for him? –"Were you waiting for me?" Udyr sighed –"I don't got time for this, I want to make a deal with you" this surprised him, he wasn't expecting him to try to make a deal, but it worked so might as well listen to him.
-"What you got in mind?" Udyr looked him directly on his eyes; he could feel as if the spirits on Udyr eyes were judging him, looking at every movement of his. –"Prove me you can be trustworthy again, fight on the match for Winter Claw against the Ice witch." Oh, that could be a problem, choosing a side on the deadlock of Freljord.
Between summoners Freljord was thin ice, literally, people had taken sides on the deadlock, and so far the best choice was to take no side and let things go by… but that would mean he once again left his friend… he wasn't going to do it again.
-"Fine, but I will choose my champion to help as a third party for Winter Claw." Udyr seemed amused at the fact he had accepted –"Fine, take anyone you want, who is on your mind if you don't care of sharing." He spoke with pride –"Piltover finest, the Enforcer will be my ally" Udyr laughed –"Good luck at convincing her of aiding you, the match is in three days, if you fight and proof you are worthy, I will help you."
-"Thanks Udyr, you have gotten soft with years old man" Udyr looked him straight, no fun business –"You are old too." He sighed –"Guess we are both getting old eh?." Udyr left without speaking another word. Now he had three days, three days to convince the Enforcer to give him a hand in a business she had no obligation at all.
-"This isn't going to be easy…."
We visited Ionia, now on to Piltover! Will he be able to convince Vi of fighting in a fight she has no obligation at all? Will Udyr actually keep his word? Till next time.
