Chapter 2
Gladiator God. The name was stuck in Galven's mind as he tinkered with his mask. He first figured out he was the Gladiator God was when he was about 4. Wandering through the streets of a small village in an Ionia with a short sleeved shirt on. A lot of people saw the tattoo on Galven's arm, not knowing what the "S" like shaped tattoo was on his arm. They thought he was an abomination, A worthless human being. His parents however loved him and hid him from other humans for several years until he was about 13. He has been surviving on his own since then, just scavenging for his life. Hearing the wood on the wagon rattle from a big bump suddenly wakes up Galven from his thoughts. Looking up he sees the fox woman just staring at him awkwardly.
"Umm hello?" Says Galven.
"Hmm? Oh Oops sorry I was daydreaming." Says Ahri blushing.
"Ok, but I was wondering why you are heading to the docs?" Says Galven
"I am well… I am going to the institute of war to join." replies Ahri
"Really? I just heard that people who went to the Institute of war could fight." Said Galven
"I can fight just fine" shrugs Ahri.
Watching Galven raise his eyebrows wondering Ahri decides to show him. She pulls out her orb of deception, balancing it on her pointer finger to show off.
"I uhh… Have not seen magic for a extremely long time. I just didn't figure Someone like you would do any kind of fighting." Said Galven
"Yeah that's what a lot of people think about me they think I am just some helpless woman." Said Ahri
"I guess, I was also wondering why you have 9 tails, whiskers, and umm ears like a fox" asked Galven.
Looking down at the ground with her cute golden eyes she replies " I was once a fox. During the Noxian invasion, a man was dying on the field so I walked up to him. With his dying breath he gave me his life essence. Which turned me into what I am now. I had to kill men with my orb of deception, using their life essence was the only way for me to become fully human. The more life essence I got the more human I got so I got guilty and I just… I just can't do it anymore."
Suddenly Ahri just realized what she just said, gasping as she had never told anyone that before. Also she was expecting him to be angry and hostile towards her. Looking up from the splintered floorboards to a emotionless Galven.
To Ahri's surprise he did not looked scared or mad at all.
After a couple minutes past Ahri was wondering why he had not burst out at her all mad. "How are you not mad at me?" Says Ahri.
"Tell me one thing Ahri, do you regret what you did to the men you killed?" Replies Galven
"Yes, I would take it back in a heartbeat" Ahri says softly.
"Honestly I have no reason to be mad then. I was just wondering, how would you steal their life essence?"
Blushing Ahri responded "I um… had to Seduce them into some place with no other people so I could kill them with my orb."
"Wait you had sex with them?"
Blushing extremely hard Ahri response "NNOOO! I JUST KILLED THEM WITH MY ORB"
"Alright I'm sorry I was just wondering" says Galven still not showing much emotion. Putting his mask on he adjusted it onto his head correctly.
"It's gonna be a while, you guys can sleep on the hay bails until we get there." Screams Gareth from the front of the wagon.
Sighing loud and standing up to stretch he pulls of his armor and takes his shirt of. Pulling his backpack out he grabbed a blanket and laid down on one of the hay bales starting to drift away to sleep. Meanwhile Ahri was blushing at the 6 pack that she just saw. Shaking her head she laid down on a bail and let sleep overtake her.
Waking up to the sun blaring in his eyes and the sound of wooden wheels going over rocks and dirt. Spinning on his side to see the Beautiful fox woman across from him with her sleeping peacefully. Sighing while getting up he puts his shirt and armor back on while stretching.
Walking to the front of the wagon he sees Gareth and asked "how long tell we are there?"
Muttering something under his breath Gareth looks up and says " About 30 minutes, I would go wake the girl up" says Gareth as he pulls out a cigar out of his pack and puts it in his mouth. Walking from the front of the wagon to the back he could not help but notice how beautiful the wildlife was outside. There was tall trees, squirrel family chasing each other and a big waterfall nearby that was just in view. Upon seeing Ahri sleeping he put a hand on her back and shook it to silently wake her up. Hearing Ahri mutter something in her sleep he shook her a little more which she woke up to.
"We are gonna be there in around 30 minutes so you might wanna get up" said Galven.
"Alright thanks Galven" Ahri said as she got up to stretch. Stretching gave a very clear view of her curvy body to Galven who cracked the slightest blush."do we have anything to eat?" Ahri asked
"Umm no but you can have some of the beef jerky I bought before we left the town." Galven said as he pulls beef jerky out of his pack.
"Thanks!" Ahri said with a smile that could shatter a man's heart. She gladly accepted the food and eat it peacefully. "Hey um Galven I was wondering why you're going to the docs you never told me why last time" Ahri said as she munched on some jerky.
"I am actually going to the Institute of war just like you." Replied Galven.
"Really! We should go together."
Smiling Galven says "I don't care Ahri sure but by going together do you mean traveling on the same thing of transportation?
"Yeah of course!"
"Sure I don't mind" said Galven.
"Hey guys come here!" Gareth shouted from the front of the wagon. Ahri and Galven looked at each other then walked to the front. "We are going to be there in 5 minutes so if I were you I would pack up my stuff."
"Alright" Galven said as he walked to go put his blanket and clothes back together. Sitting down once done with that he put his mask on, feeling the cool steel press against his face. Then suddenly the wooden wheels of the wagon stopped.
"WHERE HERE" screamed Gareth.
