Own nothing, League of Legends is from Riot, on with the story!

Message obtained, the Ball.

Back on Ionia, it felt great stepping on the road to the mountains, today there was something he was looking for.

–"Let see… it should be around here… and there… mmm maybe not."

Rosark was looking to the sky hoping to find the flying fortress of Syndra, she used to fly around that area of Ionia, Karma had never knew where Syndra was, but Rosark did knew that she floated around the area most of the time, he was hoping to find her to invite her to the festival of fire. He had told Karma before that he would make both Syndra and Zed come to the festival.

It wasn't that bad to invite them after all it was meant as celebration so people would get together and enjoy peace, a day with no fighting, no troubles, just the enjoy of festivals games and good food with friends. Well in theory, he still had to find Syndra, Zed would only accept if he told him that Syndra was going, but still looking for Syndra was becoming tired.

–"Okay Syndra, I surrender, you win."

As he threw himself on the floor he noticed a fortress flying near him. Zed shadow suddenly appeared near him with a message:

' Already gotten Lady Karma invitation, she told us it was your idea so we will be going.
Zed and Syndra
p.s: You should really try to be more careful old man, the roads aren't safe these days'

As he finished reading the message the shadow of zed just nodded and disappeared into thin air as if it had never been there

–"Old man, really, whats up with every champion calling me old these days, I'm not that old dammit"

As he was growling in his frustration he failed to see a ball rushing against his head. As consciousness faded he could hear gears in motion, it didn't lasted as he slowly lost consciousness.

.

–"Finally, I was worried someone would be near you again, you are a troublesome human"

Orianna, the mechanical lady was standing looking at Rosark, unconscious on the road, she had send her ball to knock him out swiftly so he didn't had a chance to defend himself, had he ran it would be hard for her to keep up the pace of the summoner as he could flash and keep on increasing his speed.

She send her ball to lift him from the floor, once he was rested in the ball she started to walk, she had finally had him, she had been following him from Piltover, she had also thought of getting him in the garden of the institute but the sad mummy had been there, yesterday seemed like the perfect chance but the Loose Cannon and the Enforcer were near him the whole time.

–"Took time… but I got you"

As Orianna seemed to pull a smile in her face, she failed to notice the shadow that had observed all.

.

Zed shadow had seen the whole thing, and as soon as Zed noticed what had taken place he explained to Syndra.

–"Orianna just knocked Rosark, she took him with her, I'm not sure why, but I sure know it didn't look friendly"

Syndra just nodded at what Zed told her, Rosark might be a summoner and in the end they disliked them, but in the end he was more like a friend than just summoner.

–"Let us go help him then, I'm not sure what would Orianna want to that was worthy of knocking him.

.

As both were descending of the fortress with Syndra help the clockwork lady was dancing her way through the road humming a tune while the ball moved accord to the sound, on this action Rosark had fell from the ball. A loud thump sound had been made which interrupted Orianna tune, as she was about to get him back on place a flash of light had blinded her for a bit and Rosark wasn't anywhere to be seen.

She didn't worry, he was probably groggy from the hit to the head so he couldn't have flashed to a long distance, he was in the area so she only had to hear him moving.

– "I know what makes them tick, I know how to make your tick stop…"

.

Truth be told he in fact was groggy, he didn't understand what was happening, he had just gotten hit on the head ended up in the floor and suddenly he woke up as he had fell on the floor and immediately flashed out of there, he was on the branch of a tree, looking at his surroundings, he was still on Ionia, that was good, and there was the ball looking for him. Not good.

He wasn't sure why Orianna was looking for him, or why did the ball hit him on the first place, he knew something though, if she had come hitting she hadn't come with good intentions. He had to get out of the area, but if he went through the forest walking the ball would see him and Orianna would know, plis he felt way to weak from the hit on the head to flash again.

It wasn't a good day to be alone, he hadn't expected Zed note to be quite literal with the message of the roads aren't safe. Well might as well stick in the branch of the tree and wait for Orianna to get tired of looking for him. He would just have to wait for his head to get better and then move out of there.

.

The situation was in fact happening, Orianna was getting tired at being unable to find Rosark, she had just gotten him and now by mere luck he had escaped he couldn't run fast, or move at all, the hit on the head would last a while still time ticked, the more it took her to find him the more time he had to get better and escape from there, she couldn't lose him now, not when she had find him finally alone.

It was a trouble to find Rosark being alone, the summoner was never alone, always in company of a champion or another summoner by mere luck, it was as if life refused to let Rosark be alone, and finally when a chance had appeared luck would have it for him to get away, that luck of his was quite a trouble.

Orianna ball beeped signaling that it had found someone; just maybe luck was on her side.

.

Oh no. Rosark thoughts when he saw the ball hovering near the tree he was, even more horrible when the ball had beeped of finding him, the ball wouldn't do anything until Orianna ordered for it to attack, still he had to move. He flashed from the branch to the floor only to be met with a smiling Orianna.

– "Leaving so soon?" without surprise to him he felt a stinging pain from Orianna hand as she took his arm. She had struck a nerve making him kneel on pain the pain had been so sudden he couldn't shout, he just started to fell on the floor as if energy leaved him. She would have continued to put pressure had a flying shuriken made her step back.

Zed was fully armored ready for a fight, clashing his blades making the metallic tinge sound through the forest; Syndra lifted Rosark from the floor getting him to safety.

Orianna mind was making operations, calculations, checking the possibilities of beating the two champions; none, Zed and Syndra together would avoid her from getting on range, plus Zed alone could cut the distance between them in a second, and if she were to focus on Zed that would leave Syndra all the opportunity to strike her.

Sadly the opportunity had been ruined; she ordered the ball plan B.

.

A sudden flash of light blinded both Zed and Syndra, as they opened their eyes none of them could feel the clockwork lady near the area, she had probably gone far with that flash of light, both of them decided to check on Rosark who looked to be getting back on consciousness.

– "Hey, all fine old man?" Syndra looked at him with the worry one would expect of family member not from the so called evil empress.

– "….All fine, thanks" He could feel air in his lungs, air that suddenly left as Zed punched him in the gut, a disapproval frown on Syndra face.

– "I told you the road wasn't safe! You should have gone back with a partner!" Zed sounded anger, but at the same time worried about what could have happened.

– "Chill down… I'm okay and you too are okay too, that is all that matters."

– "Typical of you old man; looking for the safety of the children first." Syndra laughed at her own comment, for once, Rosark didn't mind being called old man.

As he let air flow in his lungs again he could only wonder why did Orianna even tried that in the first place, Champions couldn't hurt summoners in the institute, but outside it was something else, they could hurt if not more, there were few cases of such 'accidents' but champions wouldn't be touched by law nor the institute if that happened outside, that was one reason some summoners never left the institute trying to recluse in its safety.

His thoughts were interrupted as Zed spoke.

– "So what's going on between you and Karma?"

Rosark could fell all the air of his lungs leaving as he coughed at Zed sudden question

"There is nothing going on between us, we are just friends, I'm a summoner and she is the enlightened one, we have a fully professional relationship"

Syndra laughed at his reaction

– "No summoner has ever gone to neither drink tea at Karma house nor chat with her on the Placidium, nor has ever actually been invited to be her guest in the festival"

Rosark did something he had forgotten he could do, blush.

He felt memories come from his first visit to Ionia and the day the met.

– "That is a story for other time, but we did share something…there isn't more to tell you for now"

Syndra and Zed both nodded in acknowledgement, it was obvious whatever had happened in the past had marked him and his feelings for Karma.

What will happen next? Who knows
