Once again, I find myself drifting through the mindless bliss of sleep, during which time my mind ventures. It reminisces about the length of time that is known as the past, or it fantasizes, living out my dreams or nightmares.. Although, this time, I'm merely a spectator, standing in the audience as the epic play unfolds.

The sky is darkening, as is my environment. It's almost time to move. I ready my equipment and prepare to begin my first real mission. I straighten my hood and nod to my partner, who is concealing himself under the cover of a nearby snowbank.
"As soon as the sunlight hits the edge of the building.." I say to myself.
"..But no, that's.. I can't… Why did I take this mission, anyway?"
That's about as good a question as any.. Why did I take this mission? It's complete suicide, in all honesty. Who's bright idea was it to spy on anything at all to do with Noxus? I mean, isn't it safe enough to assume that they're doing something maniacal every moment? Why is it so important that we be here now?
Now that I'm thinking about it, none of our assignments ever seem to make any logical sense; Stalking Teemo as he's on patrol, scavenging parts from Rumble's junkyard, 'misplacing' Tristana's rockets.. Really, though.. Why all of a sudden are we getting put on something as dangerous as this?
I glance over at my partner. He must be thinking the same way I am; That always seems to be the case, at least. He looks back at me, gently nodding his head. I can see it in his eyes, he's scared. It's almost like I can see him as the little yordle he was just a few years ago, in his innocence. Myself always trying to look brave in front of him, I give him a reassuring smile, and return my attention to the mission that was at hand.
It's time to go. I dash out from my cover and start towards the gate as the guards are changing shifts. It's now or never; One mistake here, and... Well, I'm sure you can figure out the rest.
"When one works alone, they are akin to the serpent; Silent, and deadly. However, their fault lies in that they are careless, they need only think of themselves.. However, when working together with the one you care about the most, you think situations through much more logically. Your actions are no longer risks, but deliberately toying with fate. You are more efficient in your movements, and your attacks are precise."
"Skyler is your drive, Kennen. Keep him in mind, and you can not fail."
