Chapter 5
Black. All Galven could see was back, it seemed like the blackness was sucking him in. When all of a sudden he saw these long purple tentacles wrap around him. The grip on the tentacles grew tighter and tighter, almost seeming like it was squeezing the life out him. Just as he was about to fade a huge eyeball was In front him it was just staring at him then suddenly it said "ahh gladiator God… All of these champions in the institute of war that oppose the void are little bumps. But you Gladiator God, you are a mountain in the way of the void. The void will consume runeterra, but first it will have to take care of you. Your days are numbered Gladiator God." Then the tentacles tightened around him, Knocking him out.
Then he heard a female voice screaming his name, the voice sounded familiar. With all of his effort, he pulled his eyes open awaking to see Ahri looking at him with really concerned golden eyes. Sitting up while rubbing his eyes he heard Ahri say "What were you dreaming about!"
"Nothing, just don't worry about it." Said Galven still looking away from Ahri.
"Don't worry about it? Galven you were screaming!" Said Ahri
"It was just a bad dream, nothing to worry about." Galven said, although he knew it was something to worry about. "I am going back to bed" he said laying back down. Meanwhile Ahri was scared about what he just dreamed about. Laying back down she curled up to Galven and wrapped her arms around his waist. Then she placed her head on his chest. Surprising Ahri, Galven wrapped his arms around Ahri's curves and pulled her even closer to the point where they were cuddling. It was weird for both of them, considering it was both there first time cuddling in there life's. Feeling a lot safer in Galven's embrace she quickly let sleep overtake her. As the sleeping Ahri laid in Galven's arms he looked down at her beautiful face. He couldn't help but get feeling for her over these past few days that they had known each other. He remembered what his mom told him before he left her that she wanted him to find someone for him to love. The thought of love never appealed to Galven, it's not that he didn't like woman it was because he was too busy trying to survive Kalista. His mom told him once that love was the best thing in her life and that she wanted him to enjoy love with someone else. A sudden thought came into Galvens Head. Could that person be Ahri? The question rang through Galven's head. He had never felt this way to other woman. He was on his way to piltover so he could visit his mom that he has not seen for a while and ask her.
Dismissing his thoughts he felt his eyes get tired. Once again he fell asleep. As Ahri woke up, she looked over to see Galven holding her in his arms. Recalling what happened last night Ahri blushed but cuddled even closer to Galven.
He smelled like fresh cut grass. She felt him stir then suddenly his eyes opened and looked immediately looking into her golden eyes. Pulling his arms off of Ahri's waist he stood up.
"We are going to stop at my mom's house in piltover." He said while stretching. Nodding, Ahri got up and went to go take a shower before Galven did, walking into the shower she turned on the water and took her nightgown off. Putting her hand into the warm water that was coming out she stepped in.
As Ahri went to go take a shower Galven decided to put a shirt on and go see what was going on the upper deck. Finding a black shirt he quickly put it on, Then he put on his bronze colored mask. Grabbing his room key off of the table, he walked out of the room. Upon seeing the deck he walked saw the captain looking off into the distance which made Galven looked at to. there was a huge city in the distance, glimmering skyscrapers, air balloons surrounding it, and big tower in the middle of it. Walking up to the captain Glaven asked "How long until we are at piltover?"
"20 minutes" the captain said not even looking back at Galven. As Galven walked away he passed the man whose fingers he broke, The man gave Galven a deadly look. Smirking Galven just ignored him and walked back into his room. As he walked in he saw Ahri with only a towel on that was covering her chest down to her knees.
"Oh shit-" Galven said as he quickly walked out into the hall closing the door quickly. Rubbing his eyes, he didn't see anything but he surely thought Ahri would be pist. Deciding to come back later to tell ahri that they were almost there he walked to the top of the ship to find three men surrounding him, one including the man whose fingers he broke. The man that was closest to him was a huge man with dirty blond hair. The other was a Ginormous man who had tan skin and huge biceps. "Need more people to do your dirty work?" Galven said as he looked at the man who he previously encountered. With no response the ginormous man came rushing at Galven like a train. Realizing he left his weapons in the room he only had his knife. Pulling it off his belt he easily dodged the big man and slashed his knife down his arm. Screaming in pain while clutching his huge wound on his arm. The other rushed at Galven one of them had a dagger in his hand. quickly Galven grabbed the man's arm who had the dagger and pulled him with a lot of strength which jerked him forward. Using his knife he stabbed the man in the stomach intentionally missing any vital organs. Quickly pulling his Knife out the man he stabbed dropped his dagger in pain. As the dagger fell Galven grabbed the blade of it and chucked it with a lot of strength at the last man who was standing. The dagger went into the man's right shoulder which made him clutch it.
"H-how" the man shuddered in pain.
Galven walked to over to the man and lifted him up by his collar. Then Galven said "Next time I will kill you!" quickly Galven kneed the man in the chest with all of his strength. dropping the man to the floor Galven walked back to the his room and knocked on it. Ahri opened it and saw the blood on his hands and shirt.
"What happened!" she said, Thankfully this time for Galven she was wearing clothes on.
"You know that man that called you a slut?" seeing Ahri nod with concern he said "He got two other men and circled me, to which I took care of them. Anyways we should be in piltover in about 10 minutes so I am going to take a shower."
Walking over to the shower he heard Ahri say "did… Did you kill them?"
"No but I should of." he replied with a emotionless expression on his face. Turning on the shower he looked at his face and decided he should probably shave. Walking into the bedroom with only pants on he grabbed a bottle of shaving cream. Putting it in the bathroom he jumped in the shower. After 5 minutes he walked out of the shower all wet. Turning off the water he grabbed a towel then sprayed shaving cream on his hand which he spread all over his chin. Grabbing his knife he washed the blood off of it in the sink. He put the sharp knife on his chin and started shaving, of course he didn't have a razor blade so he had to make due with his knife. After he was done he washed his face and put clothes on. Walking out of the bathroom he saw Ahri standing there waiting for him. As Galven put his weapons on his belt he grabbed his bag and walked out of the room to the top of the ship with Ahri. As they passed the area where galven fought those men there was blood stained on the wood. Of course those men were gone probably getting medical attention.
"Did you not get hurt?" Ahri asked while looking around.
"I am fine they never even hit me." Said Galven who just kept walking. Once they reached the top of the ship they saw people were hooking the ship up to the docs of piltover. After about 5 minutes of them docking the boat Galven and Ahri walked off of the boat into the glimmering city of piltover. "Wow this place is huge." said Galven. His mom moved here after Galven got ran out of his town.
"So does you mom live nearby?" Ahri said while in awe of the city.
"She lives pretty close I have only visited here once so she should be pretty happy to see me."
Said Galven as they walked through the city they found a taxi then got in. As Galven gave the man the location of where his mom lived Ahri keeped getting creepy looks from men. As the taxi left Ahri was astonished from how fast it could go. It could go faster than her when she was running as a fox! After about 5 minutes of driving they came to a stop at this little house. As Ahri saw Galven grab his bag and shut the door she decided to follow him. He quickly paid the taxi driver then walked to the door. Firmly Knocking on it a woman who looked to be in her 50's walked out. She had a old but pretty faces it's very few wrinkles, a silk dress, and long black hair. When she saw Galven she jumped in excitement.
"Galven!" She exclaimed happily. As she wrapped her arms around him into a hug. "What brings you here!" She said gleaming with happiness.
"Me and my friend Ahri are going to the institute of war." He said pointing his finger at Ahri.
When Galven's mom's eyes landed on Ahri they seemed to get even happier. "So you got a girlfriend for the first time?" When she said that both of their faces flushed a deep shade of red.
"I am surprised you got something that good looking." Galven's mom said as she elbowed him in the stomach.
"We are not dating mom, I said we are both heading to the institute of war." This time it was Galven's mom who was blushing.
"Sorry Hun I Just thought you two mwould be a great couple, anyway Hello Ahri my name is Kelly. Are you guys planning on staying here for the night?" She said curiously.
Sighing Galven said "if we can."
"Well of course you can! I am not gonna let my son sleep out on the road. Come on in." She said as she opened the door. When Ahri stepped in she noticed the place had a welcome smell. As Ahri took off her shoes she caught a glimpse of Galven looking at her chest. Blushing, usually she hated that kind of attention, but with Galven it made her feel pretty. Of course Kelly saw Galven look and Ahri blush. I think they like each other she thought to herself, after all she wanted grandchildren, but with Galven being who he is, he wasn't a very social person. "I will show Ahri the guest room and Galven can sleep on the couch, Follow me Ahri." Turning around she started walking to the guest room when she reached it she finally got a good look of what Ahri looked like. She was amazed by Ahri's beauty but when she saw the tails she raised her eyebrows. "Why do you have tails dear?" She said looking into Ahri's golden eyes.
"Well it's kind of a crazy story but um, I used to be a fox. I was turned into this when a man gave me his life essence during the Ionian and noxian war. He was dying so he gave it to me."
Said Ahri sheepishly.
Smiling Kelly said "tell me Ahri, do you like my son?"
"Yeah he is really nice when we were on the ship come here a guy called me a slut so he forcefully made the guy apologize to me."
"Ahri dear, why would he call you a slut? She said softly while cleaning the guest room
"I don't know… He called me Galven's slut." Ahri said as her ears dropped down.
"We'll have you two slept together?" Kelly asked without emotion on her face.
"N-no! I have never even slept with anyone!" Ahri exclaimed loudly while blushing
Laughing Kelly replied "settle down Hun, I just wondered, I have always wanted Galven to get a girlfriend these past couple years."
"M-Mrs. Kelly we are not even dating" Ahri said franticly still blushing.
"I know, I know but I am going to tell you this Ahri, he likes you I have seen the way he looks at you, his father did the same before we went out." She chuckled for a little bit then said "have you guys had any sort of… Interactions or you guys hit on each other?"
"Well… He had a bad dream last night so we kind of… Cuddled" Ahri said with a huge blush all over her face.
"Weird… Galven would never do that. Why were you guys sleeping on the same bed?" Kelly said curiously.
"I asked him to because I didn't want him sleeping on the floor." Said Ahri
"Well darling, your bed is set, I am going to be making lunch soon for us so you can come out whenever." Kelly said as she walked out to go find her son. When she saw Galven doing push ups one handed on the ground she said "doing workouts already?"
"Well I didn't really do any on the ship" he said while switching to one handed push ups.
"When are you two leaving tomorrow?" Kelly asked her son.
"I don't know probably whenever Ahri wants to leave I don't care." Galven said as he stood up, he was like 6,3 so he stood taller over his mom
"Why you and Ahri in there for so long?" He asked with a frown on his face.
"We were just having some girly chit chat." She said smiling brightly.
"What kind of 'chit chat' did you two have" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"Tell me son, who is Ahri to you?" She asked
"Mom… She is just a friend ok? Nothing else." Galven said while sighing.
"Galven you can't fool me, I have seen the way you look at her, there is more to it."
"Fine you wanna know what mom, ok I like her, more than I should but that doesn't mean she likes me back." Exclaimed Galven as he ran his hands through his hair.
"Well you never know unless you ask huh?" Kelly said as she walked into the kitchen.
Meanwhile Ahri was in her room hearing the whole conversation.
Well that's it for now guys I am going to keep continuing this story but I need your ideas for what the Gladiator God's power should be. Also I thought that this chapter I would work on Galven and Ahri's relationship. Anyways see you next time.
