Greetings FanFiction! It's me again (Duh) with the continuation of this story named Only ten seconds. About the delay... I was either really occupied or too lazy to write. I'm sorry with every single person following this story, I will try harder next time and try to keep a regular uploading time, still is no excuse for my laziness. This chapter is not about Kayle neither Morgana, even when I start the story with them, if you are a fan of any of those character you will have to wait a bit! This chapter (and the next one) focus on Diana. Why Diana? Don't know, today I played with an excellent jungler Diana (me with Thresh) and we were unstoppable. So I decided to give her a bit of focus in my story. Hope you like this chapter and notice that (as suggested by a good reader) I'm writing a bit different compared with the other chapters (for example the separation between the dialoge). Please tell me what do you think about it (also I'm kind of expecting this to be filled with orthographic mistakes, let me know and you will win a cookie!).

"I must admit this is rather unexpected. What could make the two to put your differences down and come to me?"

"I heard that you can bring the dead back to life, is that true?" - asked the judicator

"Well, it depends of who you want me to summon"

"Our mother, warden. We want you to bring her back" - answered now the fallen angel

"I thought you angels were immortal unless you sacrifice your very own life willingly"

"Yes that is the very truth Thresh, the only way we can die is to give up our lives to a greater cause"

"Since I would be making a favor to no just one, but two celestial beings I would like to know what do I win in this"

"What do you want ghoul?"

"Now Morgana, don't be pushy. Tell me Thresh, what would you want us to give you?"

"A battle. If you win you tell me her story and how she died. Then I summon her ten seconds"

"And if we lose?"

"I keep her soul for all eternity"

"How dare you! I would never let you do that!"

"Deal"

"Morgana?! What the hell are you thinking? How dare you to gamble mother's soul like that?"

"Shut up sister, I will risk anything for a last chance to see her again. If you don't have the guts then go away and don't bother me"

"Ugh... Fine warden, we will fight you. I warn you, prepare for a fierce battle"

"We are two anyways, you have no chance..."

"You are right, I will find someone to be my partner. Meet me here tomorrow by evening and we shall battle for your mother's soul"

With that, Thresh walked away from the celestial beings, which only watched him disappear in the distance.

"Morgana you idiot, how dare you to gamble with mother?"

"We will win, why so scared? You are always so scared of everything"

"I don't understand how you dare to make comments about me, remember who's the fallen one"

"Someday I will gladly kill you Kayle, but now you will shut up and come with me to practice. We are not going to give him the slightest chance"

"..."

While the sisters were arguing, Thresh had an important task for tomorrow. Who would be his partner? The problem was that not many people would willingly help him to do that. His Shadow Isles neighbors would ask for a rewards, any of the state cities like Demacia or Noxus would really don't care about a ghost warden. Maybe Syndra? She would use the battle as an excuse to make Thresh allow her to torture her master (he still owed her an answer). Annie? Just her name was producing an headache. The maven?

"Miss Buvelle"

"Thresh?" - Sounded her echoed voice through his mind

"Greetings Sona, I hope I'm not intruding you"

"Not at all Thresh, I must say I didn't expected you though... What can I do for you?"

"I have a favor to ask to you, would you mind?"

"Well, I would listen if you escort me to my residence, it's not far away from here"

"I may be curious but why are you here for? I mean you tend to take long walks alone in the surroundings of the Institute as far as I know"

"Generally, I found inspiration when I do that, it helps me clear my mind and relax so I can compose a new song with ease"

"It makes sense since you are a musician, but today I'm not here for your music Sona, I'm looking for the battle maven instead"

"Well, to be honest I have been really busy composing music, maybe too much... You have my attention"

"I will fight against the two angels, Morgana and Kayle and I'm in need of a partner. I think you would be a good one so I'm here asking you this favor"

"May I know why are you fighting them?"

"It has to be with my ability to summon the dead"

"Oh, I see... But I still don't understand why are you fighting them. I mean you did different when I asked you"

"I treat different each people I know. You did paid a price though, but it won't take effect until it is your time to pass away"

"I aware of that Thresh, I have one last question"

"Yes?"

"Do you win or lose something as a result of this match?"

"Well, I can't lie to you. We are gambling with their mother's soul. If they win the see her and then she vanish. If I win I keep her soul for my own... purposes"

"Oh... that changes my answer then... I'm sorry Thresh but I can't take part if that is the price they must pay in case you win"

"I understand maven, to be honest I kind of expected this scenario"

They ended the conversation just in time to Sona to reach her dormitory between the Institute's walls.

"Thank you for the company Thresh, I hope you find a partner but I also hope you don't win tomorrow"

"Hehe, even if you are against it I will do my best to reclaim my prize. Have a good night maven"

What a problem, the moon was already up in the sky and Thresh still didn't had a companion for the next day. By now most champions would be sleeping, a necessity that only the living needed. When was the last time Thresh sleep? Ages? Centuries? He couldn't remember.

"Hey! Look for where you walk warden" - Interrupted a feminine voice

"Huh? Ah it's you lunari. You have my apologies, I was lost in my own thoughts and didn't noticed you"

"As long as you apologize it's okay then. What are you doing here? Normally I don't have visitors and I would like to keep it that way"

"I could make the same question to you, but you have me interested in the visitors part. What do you mean with it?"

"Nothing of your business warden"

"Well, I have nothing better to do than just watch you to do whatever you have to do"

"What if I cut you in half and then walk away? Does it sounds better?"

"A battle? Right here, right now? I must ad- THINK FAST!"

With that Thresh quickly trow his weapon directly to Diana, who barely had time to unfold her blade and avoid a severe injury. She was quick for sure, since she soon rushed to him and started to swing her weapon in all directions, proving to be difficult to dodge or defend from it. But of course Thresh knew many tricks, throwing his lantern directly to her head to force her to defend. Of course he quickly use the attached chain to retrieve it and then charge against her. Bot metals met every few seconds, both of their owners using every single movement to provide fatal wounds to the other. Diana had an advantage over Thresh, she was much more agile than him but he proved to be a dangerous opponent due his unique fighting style, he could fight in the distance by using his attached weapon as a whip, using the additional force of the gravity to cut almost everything. The three she hided behind was almost cut in half by this attack. If she decided to charge against him, he would quickly change instance and start swinging in an horizontal way, proving to be rather impossible to approach him without receiving damage. The tall grass around him was the evidence as it was reduced everything he used his attack. And even when she reached him, he had a rather excellent use of his blade and a strong grip, proving useless to try to take his weapon away. Not counting that even if she managed that he still had those chains to both hit her and retrieve his weapon.

In Thresh mind, Diana was an excellent challenger. She was one of the fastest fighters he ever seen, her mobility was very high and her use of her weapon was perfect. Every time he tried to hit her from afar she would dodge or just use her blade as a shield, and every time she could she would charge against him, quickly cutting the distance between them. She also was a very intelligent adversary, taking just a few minutes to realize and learn the patron he used against her, soon she would be dodging every attack easily and try to attack from different angles. Thresh knew that at this rate he would eventually lose. But of course he still hadn't use the potential of the lantern, one bad move from Diana is all what he needed.

"What a delightful night scorn of the moon, didn't expected to have such fun today"

"Don't worry warden, I will make it short for you. Just one single hit in your head is all what I need"

"You shouldn't play with the death lunari, you can't kill what is already dead, but I admire your spirit"

The clash continued, both of them being unable to make the first (and possibly last) hit. Thresh decided to give some use to his chains so he trowed his weapon in Diana's direction, just to her to avoid it completely

"Nice aiming"

"I wasn't aiming for you"

His weapon swing around a tree behind her, he used this to catapult himself against her at full speed. Diana barely had time to react and throw herself to the ground, avoiding him by mere inches. If he used projectiles so she would, charging her blade with the power of the moon she discharged a white beam against him which would impact into the tree and set it on fire due the concentrated magic. He was there a second ago, where is he now?

"You can't hide from the moon warden, come out and play"

"That's my line" - Appeared Thresh from below her, of course, as a being from outside the living he had the ability to just sink into the ground and appear wherever he pleased. He used his chain to trap one of Diana's legs and then pull it, making her to fall to the ground. He then tried to end the battle by swinging his weapon down into her head but she reacted fast and barely reflected his attack with her weapon, finally breaking his grip over it and making him drop his weapon. Not only that but also breaking the chain attached to it, it was now that she had the chance.

"Seems like you don't have a blade anymore warden"

"I don't need it for what's coming lunari, I hope you are ready to have a little dream"

He dropped himself over her, sitting above her and making impossible to use either her arms or legs. She was completely trapped below Thresh. He then simple put his lantern by Diana's side

"Let's see what fear looks like for you"

Diana's vision the blurred. What happened? She was fighting the warden and now she is in some place she doesn't know. But at the same time it's so familiar... There is some people around her using some kind of light armors and tunics. It feels very similar to when she was into the solari, but the colors and the people seems different, instead of yellow and dark red/brown the use violet and white as primary colors.

"Excuse me, where am I?" - She asked to a passer by.

"Sorry? I don't understand your question, you are in the library"

"Library?"

"Miss Diana with all due respect are you alright? You are here into the lunari palace"

Lunari palace? Such place only existed in records she read in forbidden books, one said that there was once a palace dedicated to the moon. Both lunari and solari tribes were in harmony but one day the solari betrayed the peace between them and attacked by surprise, killing every lunari in the process, it was a massacre that nobody would ever be able to remember, because there was no survivor.

"I'm sorry I'm a bit dizzy erhm... whatever your name is"

"My name is Kirch, I'm the librarian. Maybe you should go to your room Miss Diana, you don't look well"

"Maybe I should... Where is my room?"

"Turn right when you exit and then cross the garden, you should ask someone else there since I don't know where your room is exactly"

"Okay then, thanks"

This is confusing, where is she? Library? Garden? This place was beautiful though, stone walls mixed with fine architecture to make impressive corridors filled with arcs and some decorations, one side facing the downside of an apparent hill, allowing the moonlight to fill every corner. The garden also received this light and was filled with flowers that only blossom during night time, making a beautiful display of colors for Diana to admire as she could see some armored men (maybe a patrol?) by the end of the garden.

"Excuse me, I'm lost and I can't find my room. Could you tell me where is it?"

"Sorry miss but I have no idea, go to the great hall and you should find someone who can help you"

This story keep for a while, Diana going from place to place and asking for directions. It didn't bother her to walk around all the place since it was so unique and beautiful. The lunari really had good taste when it comes to buildings. And all the people here seems so content and happy with their lives. Nothing could go wrong here! She was now by the great hall. Long wooden tables were around the place were people would gather to eat, get drunk and have fun. The ambient was so cheerful even with her usually seriousness she couldn't help but to smile.

"Excu-"

"Help! Someone is... gah!"

The poor man who shouted had his neck sliced in two. A full armored man was behind him, looking all the people there he just ordered

"Kill them all"

From the entrance appeared lots of these mysterious foes, all of them wearing full armors and shields. The people there had two choices, either run or fight. Running was almost impossible as every exit was now blocked by these strangers but fighting with nothing more than your bare hands against them? Diana didn't understand why someone would attack this place, but she couldn't care less. She charged against an enemy and using her full weight she pushed him, making him lose his balance and drop his sword. She didn't hesitate, grabbing his new weapon she quickly ended his life.

"A rebel isn't it? You have no chance here, surrender now and I will make sure you have a quick death"

"Never! I will personally kill every one of you before surrendering!"

"What a pity, such a fierce spirit wasted in you. Guards, end her"

It was now three versus one, but that would matter nothing to her. There were even worse situations in the League, with ease she keep fighting men after men, they proved to be strong though, hitting her sometimes and making her really tired. By the ten soldier she killed she was already panting, she needed some air or she would end like the men she killed minutes ago. Using her agility, she jumped above one guard and then throw her sword directly into the face of another. This gave her time to exit the room and go to the gardens. But the last thing she found was rest...

To be continued...

Thanks for reading! As I said the angel sisters will come later with an epic battle story arc (well maybe that's too much). I liked how things turned out with Diana, and I finally described a battle scene!

Also, Chained, please forgive me for being an ass and never connecting again into the EU server. For now on I will do my best to connect and play some rounds with you (or at least chat with you).
