Prologue: Breaking free. The hunt is on.

First Blood!

The Pridestalker stares as the tooth appears where the corpse of the enemy jungler, Udyr, had been, he grabs the tooth, which dissipates, then reappears onto the necklace. Rengar stalks the jungle, pleased that the rift has offered him a much more home like environment rather than the old one. Passing the Blue Sentinel which was prepared to strike at him at any moment, along with the shardlings, he was about to strike it, but it appeared that his middle lane is being ganked. Grinning in anticipation, Rengar quickens his pace, the prophet, Malzahar, was being attacked by Ahri, The Nine-tailed Fox and, to his great joy, the Voidreaper Kha'zix. "Focus…" he growls lowly as he forms his camouflage, Malzahar notices Rengar entering his stealth, and quickly suppresses Ahri by terrorizing her mind with his own thoughts. Kha'zix was about to strike him down, but Rengar leaps over to him with a roar "YOUR HEAD WITH BE MOUNTED UPON MY WALL VOIDREAPER!" Kha'zix hisses and leaps over to Rengar, they clash on the ground, violently slashing each. Kha'zix, with his evolved claws, rips through Rengar's armor with ease, causing him to gush out in blood, but Rengar doesn't relent as he slices open Kha'zix's chest with his fist blade.

After cutting each other open with constant slashes. Rengar finally roars in vigor, quickening his attack, but Kha'zix quickly stealth's, then attacks his back, roaring in pain, covered in his own blood, and Kha'zix. He quickly spins around and tackles the Voidreaper. Trying to stab him in the head with his blade, but Kha'zix shoots one of his spikes, causing Rengar to be in enough pain to make Kha'zix to shove him off, then stealth's away, his summoner told him to retreat, Rengar's top laner, Sion, arrived with a roar, slamming onto Ahri, causing her fragile body to be broken instantly with the collision. Rengar, lets recall. You're too wounded to fight. Rengar growls, looking at his wounds "Very well…Summoner..." He looks over at Malzahar and Sion, Malzahar nodded to the both of them in thanks. Sion grunted and moved to take down the enemy tower, Rengar nods at Malzahar, who simply stares at him, narrowing his eyes.

Rengar grunted as he gets teleported back to his fountain, buying A Ravenous Hydra, and Mercury treads. After ganking bottom lane, this had consisted of Lucian and Thresh as the enemy team, and Braum and Varus as his own team. After doing so, the enemy team went to mid, as did his team. After winning a few team battles, Rengar's team finally took down the enemy Nexus, winning them the game. Teleported back into the summoning room, Rengar looks over to his summoner who smiled "Good game!" Rengar nodded, shaking his hand firmly. "You have a mind of a hunter. I respect that." He grins. The summoner chuckles and walks off. Rengar looks over to Kha'zix, giving him a snarl, Kha'zix giving him his own snarl.

Rengar walks off. Heading to the portal room, entering the one to enter the kumungu jungle, he inhales the air through his nose…Then stealth's, passing through various trees and brushes, leading a path to his den. Upon entering, he starts removing his armor, putting it on a table of his weaponry, he sighs in exhaustion, flicking his tail, he walks over to a nearby river, where he bathes, climbing into the river, he sinks all the way down leaving only his nose upward from the water, eye closed. Then, he heard a roar, to him, a challenge, his eye open in excitement; he jumps out of the water, sprinting to his den, grabbing only his weapons and sprints off to the direction the roar was coming from.

Far into a distance, where the roar came from, was an ancient yordle that has been frozen for thousands of years. After bathing in the sun for many years, the ice finally melted. Causing the yordle to collapse on the ground from weakness of being in the ice for so long, groaning, and the yordle looks up, finding a snarling cougar, it pounces at the yordle, but as it starts slashing up the yordle, it roars in fury and pain, transforming into a true monster and throwing the cougar off with ease. The monster roars in fury as it was about to strike randomly. Until a roar was heard, turning his head to face the Pridestalker, ready to pounce. Right before the monstrous yordle could do anything at all; Rengar leaps and sinks his blade onto the yordle's shoulder. Roaring in pain, the yordle grabs Rengar, and hurls him to a tree, destroying the tree, and making Rengar land roughly on the ground. The yordle pants in exhaustion, turning back into his original size, and falls face first onto the ground.

Rengar, after a few minutes, smashes his way out of the rubble, glaring around him. Then notices the small, bleeding yordle, next to him, his blade, Rengar walks over to the yordle, examining him, he then picks him up "You, are a yordle?" He questions. Normally, Rengar would just kill him. But he sensed that the yordle was already extremely weakened. If Rengar wanted anything ever in his life, it was a fair hunt. This was no fair hunt. Rengar decides to leave the yordle where he was. "Regain your strength, young hunter. Maybe then you will provide a decent fight!" says proudly, grabbing his weapons, he descends back to his den. The cougar that was thrown returns, tilting its head to the yordle… Then it transforms into a human... "A yordle… I must bring him back to the league…I hope Rengar didn't kill him…" Nidalee groans lightly, rubbing her head "Note to self, don't attack random yordles…" She then grabs the yordle and swiftly makes haste through the jungle, to the Institute of War.

Rengar eyes open, his wounded eye showing itself, yawns lightly, sitting up "Another day, another hunt." He stands, stretching and stares out the window of the rising sun. He swiftly puts on his armor, preforms his morning lifestyle of sharpening his blades, cleans his armor, hunt down breakfast, and of course, stare at his marvelous trophy collection. After which, he enters the Institute of War.

After leaving the portal room, he notices The Gem Knight swiftly moving to the medical ward, as well as Sona, and even Soraka. He blinks and follows them silently. After entering the hospital, he sees the monstrosity snarling at various summoners, and champions, who are trying to calm him down. Rengar raises a brow "How did he get here?" He whispers. Stroking his chin lightly, then grins and roars, causing everyone to look at Rengar, even the monstrous yordle looks at him. Given this chance, a summoner has quickly cast a spell that makes the yordle fall asleep, as his normal form.

Taric quickly picks up the yordle and places him on a medical bed "What happened?" He asks the summoner who put the yordle to sleep. "When he woke up, he just stared at us in fear, and then growled, his fur turned red and he grew fangs and claws. Then, well…" He looks at the yordle. Taric nods in understanding. Rengar was about to leave, but Nidalee blocked the door way, looking at Rengar with annoyance "You are not going anywhere, Pridestalker." Raising a brow "And why is that, Huntress?" he asks with venom in his voice. "Because you need to explain you're affiliation with the yordle," Says the summoner, walking up to Rengar, who sighs "Summoner Strider, I have no affiliation with the yordle…"

Strider scoffs "You're the one that actually stopped the yordle from his murderous rampage for a few seconds! That and Nidalee told us that you attacked it, and spared, his, life." Rengar looks over to Nidalee, glaring at her in frustration, and then looks back at the summoner "I spared his life because he has potential to actually giving me the thrill of the hunt! Another trophy to my collection, and he was greatly weakened, so I spared him so he can recover, then we he is at his full strength I will attack…That is until now." He crosses his arms "You are going to make him a champion, aren't you?" Summoner Strider shrugs "That isn't my call, but more likely than not, yes." Rengar throws his hands upward in frustration "First the Voidreaper. Then this one, how many monsters do I need to find until I get a decent kill before you claim it as a champion?!"

Summoner Strider sighs, rubbing his eyes as he speaks, "Rengar, calm down." He turns his head as Soraka steps in "I have tapped into the yordle's mind. He is ancient; he was frozen in true ice millennia's ago. He doesn't know anything to the modern world…Except…" She turns to Rengar "You." Rengar raises a brow "Me?" Soraka nods "Your feral roar, to be specific. He recognizes it as a family member's battle cry." Rengar grunts "What's your point, Soraka." Soraka sighs "You won't like this… But Rengar, you may be th-" "No." Soraka blinks "Bu-" "NO!" Rengar snarls "I am not a babysitter! I am a hunter! Surely Nidalee could easily take the burden much better than I!" Nidalee snarls at that, but before she could retort Strider interrupts "Rengar, we'll see other options, I completely agree with you, you are no father figure. So I'll find others. Possibly Udyr or Volibear, hell I'll even think about talking to the other yordles." He motions Soraka over as they discuss how to handle things.

Rengar decided to explore the institute, he has done this many times, with lack of a true hunt, he simply explores around, in the institute, there seems to be always something new, whether it be technology, weaponry, or in the lucky days, new champions that have recently joined the league. As it turns out, to Rengar's curiosity, it was a new champion, A Shurima champion. Apparently the Emperor of the Sands, Azir, has become the latest champion, some champions and summoners greet them to their family, while others doesn't seem to care, like Rengar, a hunt is a hunt, doesn't matter the prey.

Then a roar formed, Rengar raises a brow 'Again?' he thinks to himself as he turns to see the very monstrosity climbing around the institute's structures, then leaps down to go to the exit, but Azir, forms multiple men of sand, and they all swung over and flanked the beast next to a wall, preventing the beast to move, even if he thrashes at the men, they just sat there taking the hit with their shields, like Braum held his shield over to the beast. Volibear roars at the beast, but it simply roars back, grabbing a piece of earth and chunking over Braum's shield. Rengar chuckles in amusement how Volibear got knocked out by a simple boulder, shaking his head, Azir quickly steps forward "Calm down beast! Or I shall slay you where you stand!" He commanded, Rengar scoffs, rolling his eyes, of course the yordle didn't stop.

"Are you going to stop him?" Nidalee walks over next to Rengar raising a brow at him. Rengar shrugs "I roar, he takes it as a battle cry for a family member, it will only make it worse." He states. Nidalee tilts his head "This is new. You actually care about making the situation less worse?" Rengar glares at Nidalee. Blinking for a moment, he sighs looking at the beast. "He could make a fine hunter." She states, calmly "Just need a good teacher." Rengar looks at Nidalee, who smiles at him sweetly. Rengar rolls his eyes, walking over to the beast, "I'll handle it." He tells Azir calmly, inhaling, taking a step back, he makes a loud, ferocious roar, causing everyone's focus to Rengar, even the yordle. Rengar stares at the monster. He bends his arms down, sniffing lightly to Rengar. Rengar glares at it growling lowly, the beast, then finally calms down, turning back into a yordle, but this time, showing great fear, ears down and eyes widen as he looks at everyone. Rengar walks over to the yordle, pass Braum and the sand soldiers. "Gnar..." states fearfully as he presses against the wall as Rengar moves over him, Braum himself became tense, and ready to leap to the rescue. But to his utter amazement, Rengar offers a hand to the yordle. Slowly, it takes the hand, and then quickly jumps at him, squeezing him tightly, tail wrapped around Rengar.

Rengar becomes, very, very, tensed. Freezing arms far apart, "Umm…" He states, the champions around him jaw's dropped at the scene. Turning to Nidalee, who's holding a very bad poker face, trying her hardest not to laugh, Rengar looks down at the yordle "Gnar…" he sniffles, sobbing into Rengar's chest. Rengar sighs… "Rengar." He stated. Gnar looks up at Rengar, eyes filled with tears. Rengar points to himself. "Rengar," He states again. Gnar then tilts his head, sniffling lightly "Re….Rengnar?" Rengar sighs, but nods. Gnar hugs Rengar "Gnar..." Rengar, carrying the yordle with one hand, looks over to Azir, who has commanded his men to sink back into sand "Looks like you have it from here, Rengar." He walks off, summoners telling him where his next destination. Summoner Strider runs over to Rengar "Rengar! He is loose again! He…Is hugging you?" He looks at Rengar in disbelief. "Yes, summoner, apparently I am linked to this one in an instinctive way." He looks down at the yordle "While he is somewhat intelligent, I will teach him the modern ways of what is now." He states Strider blinks "Wait, you will?"

Rengar nods "He won't accept anyone else, only me. So I will train him." He walks off Strider moves with him "Wait! We need to get approval from the council!" Rengar sighs, turning to Strider "How much does the council know of Gnar?" Strider raises a brow "That's his name?" Rengar glares at strider, who answers the question "Not much…Actually..." Rengar sighs "Of course they don't. Very well Strider. Lead the way." Gnar simply hugs Rengar, not moving away from his chest.

Rengar doesn't know what will happen in the future, but he does know that this will be a long journey for him, and he will need a lot of patience… Rengar groans 'What did I get myself into?'
