last time:

''Well that was a good explanation'' she mumbled sarcastically. She saw that a plane ticket was attached to the letter. She looked up at Jim. ''what do you think?'' ''I think we should give it a try...''

''so...'' The female said. ''this is it'' Jim finished. They looked up at the enormous building from the gate that seperated them. It looked like an ordinary school, so she really wondered if it really was what she hoped it was. After all, she wanted to find out more about what had happened to her, and an explanation. She adjusted the bag on her back so it wouldn't cut into her shoulder. ''Move it, wimp'' Katarina said in the back of her mind.

Mandy had talked to her father about the invitation to another school. He was skeptical at first, but when she told him that this way it'd be easier to find a school he thought about it. After some long... discussions he finally agreed. He knew it was a school that was on the other side of the country, and so she had to leave her home. The only reason he did agree was that she would come visit him as often as she could.

The school was big, only a few windows lining the outer walls. There were 2 other small buildings that stood at the side, as well as a

They stood there for a few moment, taking in the sight and thinking about what to do next. their unspoken question was answered when they were spoken to. ''hey you two? Don't you know that this is forbidden territory?'' a female asked. She had white hair and bright blue eyes. She wore a light red shirt with cut shoulders and a short white skirts under it. To say the least, she was showing quite a bit of skin.

The two looked at each other before looking back at the girl. ''we are the new students'' Jim finally said. The girl's eyes widened and she dashed forward, grabbing both their hands and shaking them furiously. ''Oh! So you two were the ones expected! It's a pleasure meeting you. My name is Flora'' Both of them introduced themselves awkwardly. ''well why don't we go inside? I'm sure everyone would love to meet you!'' Flora said happily. Before they could protest, the hyper girl practically dragged them closer towards the gates.

But the problem was, she did not stop. She walked right towards the gates but they did not open, but the girl did not stop. Finally, when they were almost about to walk right into it the girl moved right through, dragging the two behind them. They too moved right through as if there was nothing there. Both of them looked behind them to see what was going on, but the gate was still there.

They were dragged all the way to the door. This time, she let go and opened it the normal way. The inside was definitely not what she expected. red carpet lined the floor and stairs. There was one giant staircase in front of them which split up at the end to the left and right, leading up to the second floor. There were 5 large double oak doors. 2 in the back, 1 as the entrance. and one at each side. Mandy whistled. It looked more like a mansion than a school.

The girl almost skipped to the left side door, opening it and motioning them over. When they looked inside they found something that looked like a dining hall. It looked like a king's dining hall, with a chandelier and a long table with a red table cloth. It was amazing. Both Jim and Mandy stared with their mouths agape. ''not bad...'' Katarina said in the back of her mind

There were several people there. She noticed that there were 2 champions among them rather than all of the being strangers. She could see Draven and Fiora, talking together at the very end of the table. A few seats away there were 3 women and 1 man happily chatting. At the very end of the gigantic table sat a lone boy, eating his meal quietly. Mandy studied all of them.

''come, come!'' Flora said happily and dragged them over to the group of 4. They all smiled at them as they approuched. The 3 took a seat on the benches beside was possibly the only thing that wasn't royal like. ''guys, these are the 2 new students. This is Jim and Mandy''

''This is Jacob'' she said, pointing to the only man. he looked quite old. Probably around the age of 40 by the looks of it. Mandy could not help but noticed the big watch he held on his wrist. He nodded politely. He had short brown hair that was turning grey at some points. His yellow eyes were slightly glazed over to only add to the old looking appearance. ''His champion is Zilean''

''This is Anna'' The girl smiled kindly. She had a kind face and a fragile body. She had blond hair pulled back in two pig tails. She waved slightly at them. ''She is a mute, so she can't talk'' Anna's smile turned a little bit sad as she nodded. ''Her champion is obviously Sona'' She placed a hand on Anna's shoulder to console her.

''This is Amber'' She pointed at the smallest girl of all of them. She wasn't extremely small, but definitely smaller than the rest. She had short red hair and freckles lining her cheeks, along with a pair of goggles on her head. ''Her champion Is Tristana''

''This is Grace'' she said, pointing to the last one. The girl had long black hair and a purple hippy hat on her head. her expression said she was an adult, but her body looked too young. Probably around 20. She sat neatly on her seat, and she nodded with a smile. ''Nice to meet you'' ''her champion is Caitlyn''

''and I am Lux'' Flora said happily as she pointed at herself. She seemed very bubbly, just like Lux. She suddenly widened her eyes and gasped. ''oh my...! I forgot to introduce you to the headmasters! Quick! come with me!'' Once again they were dragged away to one of the double doors at the other end of the room. She stopped in front of them and knocked. After a few moments she opened them and motioned them to come in.

They obliged and headed into the large room. instead of it looking like an office it looked more like a strategy room, judging by all the maps on the tables and walls. Around the center table, one that was entirely round and many MANY maps thrown all over the table stood 3 figures. They all turned around as the door was opened, looking at them confused.

Swain, Jarvan and Heimerdinger stood around the table, all looking at them. ''w-… we are the new students'' Mandy mumbled as she looked down at her shoes. ''ah. yes, I have heard that you would come. Please, take a seat'' the strong and muscular voice of Jarvan said. he was entirely clad in his armor, which was strange. What was more strange that they appeared in their own forms, and not any other human.

Mandy and Jim sat down on the 2 chairs that lined the table as well as the other 3. ''You must really want an explanation'' The high voice of Heimerdinger asked. The two nodded excitingly. ''well. Let's not jump around the facts. You both have a champion of the league inside of you. As do others. We are trying to find all of those champions in order for us to go back'' Swain explained. ''and to maintain peace in this world'' Jarvan corrected, looking at Swain angrily.

Heimerdonger stood up and pointed at one of the map. It was a map of the entire world, a few dots linked out. ''These are the places we have found the champions. There are still 105 we need to find. That is why we created the league high. Here, the hosts can learn to cope with their champion and when that happens, they can help find the others'' He explained as he pointed at several locations. ''we have several readings of activity all over the world, so there is more than enough to do''

Jarvan stood up as well. ''Heimerdinger has created some helpful technology over the years that may help you with your studies. You may use them as you please. Jim, I assign Grace as your tutor. With her traps she will be able to subdue you if you were to get out of hand. She already knows that she is to be your tutor, and she will be waiting outside for you'' He turned to Mandy, who suddenly found her shoes extremely interesting.

''Mandy, you will be accompanied by Logan'' Jarvan was about to say something more when he was interupted by Swain. ''He will be waiting for you outside.'' The two of them nodded as Jarvan looked at him confused. They walked out the door, but Mandy waited. She turned around and smiled. ''Thank you for taking us in. We appreciate it'' She spoke before leaving the door.

There were a few moments of silence before Swain suddenly laughed. It wasn't maniacally, but also not friendly. ''That girl doesn't know what she's getting herself into. I wonder how Katarina will react to the boy'' He said to his 2 fellow 'partners'. ''Swain. We have created a temporary alliance, but that does not mean I agree with you actions. we don't know how this will unfold'' Jarvan said sternly as he leaned his hands on the table. Swain shrugged. ''Let me have my little fun. This human is already straining me with his 't tell me yours doesn't'' Swain said. ''Me and my host have come to terms with each other'' Jarvan stood straight. Indeed, he and his human could get along just fine, unlike some of the champions. He feared that not all of them could get even with their hosts. Especially not people from noxus or the void. He feared what would happen if they were let loose...
