What up guys, I'm back with a new chapter, sorry I took so long I was touring Japan for the past 3 days and finally acquired a rest day, so yeah, here's the next chapter.
Asiv just got out of a match where he worked with Nasus, out of all the immortal champions, Nasus was his favorite to be around, as he always had something very interesting to share, Kindred was kinda odd though, especially Lamb, constantly talking about the thousands of ways to die and how that makes death beautiful,
Asiv was then approached by Veigar, which was unusual as Veigar almost never spoke to anyone, unless he was threatening to end them,
"Summoner Asiv, I hear you and Akali are hiding something from Shen and Kennen about Akali, is this rumor true?" Veigar questioned,
"No, it is not." Asiv said sternly, he had gotten better about denying and putting on a stern visage when doing so,
"You and I both know that's a lie, Asiv." Veigar said,
"What proof do you have?" Asiv crossed his arms, looking at the midget sorcerer,
"I can see the fear in your heart, it is there, you cannot deny it!" Veigar said,
Asiv then attempted to walk away, only for Veigar to put up his pentagon trap around him,
"You aren't going anywhere until I get answers!" Veigar shouted, pounding the end of his staff on the floor,
Asiv sighed then used his flash spell to get over the wall,
"I forgot he could do that!" Veigar face palmed,
Asiv then teleported away after Veigar continued his persistence,
"Persistent little bitch." Asiv groaned after he teleported into his and Ahri's room,
Ahri was on their bed reading a book, normally she'd be entertained by all the action in the rift, but she had to make due, Asiv made sure to bring in six new books for her every time she finished any current ones,
"Hey there Ahri, not feeling nauseous are you?" Asiv asked,
"I had a little bit of an episode earlier, but I'm fine now." Ahri said, her ears twitching and tails swishing around happily as Asiv laid next to her,
Meanwhile Syndra was talking with Zed, the two were VERY isolated from the rest of the champs, but got along just fine,
"Anything new I might be interested in?" Zed asked Syndra,
"Not much except that Asiv and Ahri are a couple now." Syndra said, sipping from her wine glass,
Zed raised an eyebrow behind his mask, he heard how Asiv and Ahri DID NOT get along and for them to suddenly be a couple...his curiosity was piqued,
"Tell me more, Sovereign." Zed asked,
"Well, do you remember the festivities when Asiv and Ahri carried a match to save Ionian territory?" Syndra answered, crossing one leg over the other as she sat on a makeshift throne of her orbs,
Zed nodded before removing his mask as Syndra offered him a glass of wine as well, his scarred face made his blood-red eyes seem even more menacing than his mask did,
"Well apparently, Asiv and Ahri were so drunk afterwards that Asiv ended up... 'knocking her up', as they say these days." Syndra said,
Zed's eyebrows raised in surprise to hear this, not that he cared about Asiv in the slightest, in fact he hated the amber-eyed summoner almost as much as he hated Shen,
Syndra hated Asiv as well but only considered him a minor nuisance, and was less likely to kill Asiv than Zed was.
"Very interesting, I am curious if Shen, Akali or Kennen are aware." Zed said,
Little were they either of them aware that Sona had secretly listened in on them, her curiosity got the best of her but was curious as to why Asiv and Ahri kept it secret,
"I am certain they would have slain the fox or aborted the child by now if they knew." Syndra said,
Sona's eyes widened, she could lose one of her friends? Much worse both Ahri AND the child she was now bearing,
She quietly made her way down the hall, little did she know Zed had known she was there all along,
"The maven of the strings was outside the door and heard us, should we endure she pays for her intrusion?" Syndra asked,
Zed shook his head, "the more the word gets out, the more likely Asiv will suffer, leaving Shen left for me to torment." Zed said sadistically,
Syndra then tried flirting with Zed as she let him have his glory, and she wanted him,
"I do like it when you get bloodthirsty." Syndra said in a sultry manner,
"Oh really now?" Zed smirked,
"It turns me on~" Syndra mused,
Zed didn't know what had gotten into him, he suddenly couldn't resist the sovereign,
(Gotcha! We're not going into a smut scene!)
Meanwhile, Asiv and Ahri were in town near the league, Asiv managed to sneak them both out of their room with a teleport spell, as to avoid Shen and Kennen,
Asiv had decided to bring Ahri to a small sushi place, much like the ones in Ionia,
"So Asiv, I've been meaning to ask you something." Ahri said before popping a spicy tuna roll in her mouth,
"Fire away." Asiv said before eating a piece of his sashimi,
"Well, what inspired you to become a summoner?" Ahri asked,
"Well, during the war against Noxus, Ionia was left with the difficult choice of drafting children ages 12 and up, I was among them, however, no matter how hard I trained or tried, I was unable to lift a sword, bow, spear, you name it, I couldn't carry it." Asiv said with a bit of a laugh of embarrassment,
"So, what happened?" Ahri asked,
"Well, they were going to declare me a lost cause, but tried one last thing, they had me try my hand at being an assassin and I showed promise, however, something happened that forced me out of the military." Asiv said,
"What?" Ahri asked, her interest piqued as she ate her twelfth spicy tuna roll,
"You know Draven, right?" Asiv asked her,
Ahri nodded in response,
"Well, he did this to me." Asiv's said, lifting up the left side of his shirt a bit, revealing a scar going across his side, leaving Ahri shocked and surprised that she hadn't seen it sooner,
"He severely damaged my kidney, so, Shen performed the operation for a transplant, I was to step aside during my recovery, and during my recovery, the institute of war was established, giving me the chance to continue fighting for Ionia without the dangers of the battlefield." Asiv said,
"You killed people without them knowing their end was coming? Guess we're almost the same." Ahri said,
"Only thing is, while the war faded, my memories of the officials, generals, and soldiers I had slain, their faces in their last moments...that's something you never forget." Asiv said, gripping his chopsticks tightly, a faint cracking could be heard,
"He's right...the faces of my victims are not so easily forgotten." Ahri thought,
"But you know...having someone by me now, just makes things not feel so bad." Asiv said with a smile,
"You did it to protect Ionia, no one would hold it against you...well, Noxus probably would." Ahri giggled,
"Yes, you should've seen Swain's face when I had slain one of the generals right before his eyes." Asiv laughed,
"He was like, 'Find the perpetrator! I want his head on a silver platter! Beatrice would like that!'" Asiv said in a half-ass'd impression,
Ahri giggled remembering how much Swain tends to his raven he named Beatrice,
Ahri felt that her and Asiv were two of a kind, specially meant for one another.
After they finished and paid, little did they know they were being watched as they left the establishment,
"Ugh, a traitor of the Vastaya, falling in love with a human? Disgusting." A female voice said,
"I don't know, they seem happy like we are, not sure how she's a traitor if we never even knew her too well in the first place, as well as her being a rather neutral party, Xayah." An upbeat male voice said,
"That's not the point, Rakan, after what humans did to the Vastaya, they need to pay for their crimes." Xayah replied,
"But I don't recognize him, plus, we both heard him, ex-assassin of the Ionian military, was in recovery until the institute was established, the institute's council is also a mix of humans and Vastaya, Linda hard to be against us when they gave Vastaya a say in things here." Rakan said,
"The point is, after what they did, NONE of them should be allowed to befriend us, especially NOT sweet talk their way into our pants." Xayah replied,
"You mean like how I do with you?" Rakan said teasingly,
Xayah's face turned a bit red knowing he was right, he did have that kinda charm on her,
"A-Anyway, we need to split them up." Xayah's said,
"Yikes, operation: heartbreaker? I don't know...she was always so lonely before, wouldn't that be a bit harsh?" Rakan replied,
"Vastaya need to remain separate from humans, I'm only okay with humans summoning me so long as it's regarding Vastaya matters." Xayah replied,
"Well those two DID preserve that grove you love so much." Rakan replied,
Xayah's just groaned, "You're just gonna keep trying to guilt trip me, aren't you?"
"In a way, yes." Rakan chirped, it was quite obvious he didn't feel as strong about Vastaya and human separation as Xayah did, and that kind of annoyed Xayah.
