Ch 1 Every Story Has a Beginning
A burning sensation is what she awoke to. Not that this was an uncommon occurrence for Riven, but Coeur and its memory still managed to wake her up when she was feeling too comfortable. The heat of the everlasting poison running through her veins was at its peak when she dreams of that fateful day. Riven felt sick and was about roll out of her bed to get rid of her inner turmoil, when she was stopped by a mass on her chest. It wasn't just the weight keeping her in place, a foreign feeling of hot and cold was also present from her neck down. The mixture of temperatures seemed to even out in her body leaving a warm feeling of content where the agonizing boiling poison once resided. The pain gone, Riven managed to open her eyes and wasn't surprised to find her savior in her bed. Or rather her saviors.
"Waking me up at this hour with all your groaning can't be good for my health." Katarina mumbled.
"You'll wake Lux up if don't go back to sleep."
Riven felt the body on her left shift "It was one of my dreams, I'm sorry I-"
"You don't need to apologize, Riv. If anything we should be sorry, sleeping on top of you and all." Luxanna's voice soothed its way into the conversation.
"Hugh. Might as well get up now. We got a big day ahead of us, anyway." Kat groaned.
"Good point. We still have until eleven to get there and it's only..." Lux squinted in the dark room towards the clock on the wall. "...3:30 geez Riven you couldn't have woke us up any earlier if you tried."
"I said I was sorry." Riven said while rubbing the sleep from eyes.
Katarina rose from the bed and headed out the door.
"I'll go and start breakfast. We aren't going to eat a proper meal until after the ceremony so I'll make sure to give my lovers something special." Kat teased as she strolled out of the bedroom with marks from hours past events strewn across her body. This made Riven and Lux smile in unison.
"She always looks better receiving rather then giving those marks." Riven sighed, content with lying in bed next to one of her girlfriends.
"That's because she has that killing intent in her eyes whenever it's her turn. I swear one day she'll pull a knife and make it out to be no big deal." Lux grumbled snuggling closer to her white haired teddy bear.
"To be honest, I probably wouldn't even be able to tell the difference with those nails of hers. I think I still have the scars from last time." Riven started to feel her back. Katarina's nails were short but she could swear she sharpens them, along with her blades, just for them.
"You know I can hear you two?!" Kat hollered. "Lux get your lazy ass down here, I need help with my dress!" "I'll be down in a minute Kitten!" Lux giggles whenever she uses her "pet" name for the Sinister Blade. "I'll get your tux ready, too." Lux leaned down to plant a light kiss on Riven's lips. "You just rest love, I'll wake you when Kats done with breakfast." "Will that be today or..?" "Oh come on you know Kats the best cook out of the three of us." "I know, but it's good to taste yours once a year." Riven got a light slap for that.
Lux left Riven to her thoughts and a dark bedroom.
Her life has changed so much in so little time and so much of it had been for the better. Not only had she been able to reunite with her long time Noxian lover, but the Lady of Luminosity had also confessed her feelings to Riven AND Katarina. This was strange to the couple at first, but accepting her into their folds (literally and figuratively) had been the best thing to happen to the cou- no trio in the two years of this constantly evolving relationship. She loved and was loved, cared for and was cared for, so happy was she that all Riven could think to do was sob.
'So selfish.' She thought. 'This is no time to cry. It's not my day after all.'
Sure enough she was woken up less then an hour later to eat. The trio are in high spirits about the day to come and then gruelingly about the trip to and from the Freljord. Today was a monumental day in the regions history, after all. Most other sane champions were invited to attend as well, but only about a half of those invited will actually attend. And attend they do. After getting ready and making sure their transportation preparation had come through, the trio left Riven's apartment in the Institute of War for the six hour journey to the frozen north.
The teleportation spell pops right on time landing the trio in the courtyard of the Avarosan clan central castle. The courtyard was teeming with guest and clan members alike all waiting for the time the ceremony will be held. Caitlyn and Vi, a recently new and open couple, approached the three.
"Good morning to you ladies," Caitlyn introduced. "and might I say you three look lovely. It's not everyday champions are invited to such a large event and even more so where they have to dress up." She gave a look towards Vi in a way that only she could understand.
"Hey we go to dinner every now and again!" Vi countered "and I dress just as nice if not better when we do."
It's hard to believe either of them dressing better than the are now. Vi in a three piece white, gold, and black suit with hints of armor under the fitted white jacket. Caitlyn was on another level however, being the picture of Piltover beauty that she is. She dawned her trademark hat without its usual attachments, and in a deep dark blue that matches her ankle length frilly dress.
"So has anyone seen Ashe?" Riven asks, pulling the two away from their glaring. "Well duh, you're not supposed to see the bride before the ceremony." Vi scoffed which received an elbow from her girlfriend"Tradition in Noxus must be different then the rest of civilized Valoran, eh?" Vi responds not wanting to upset Caitlyn too much.
"I don't remember attending too many weddings in my time fighting pointless battles." RIven responds.
"To clue everyone in," Kat interjects, "Noxian weddings are almost none existent. You find the one you want to be with and that's it, whether people care or not. There's no ceremony, no reception, no relatives, just you and your lover." Kat glances at Riven, bringing a smile to the white haired woman's face.
"Of course if anybody ask, though, this ceremony is absolutely amazing!" Lux stepped up trying to cover the bluntness of her girlfriends actions.
"It better be amazing." The group turned to focus on the pair approaching them. "Anivia has to work her tail feathers off to keep this courtyard "cool" and not completely frozen" Ahri, the Nine-Tailed Fox, arm in arm with her long time girlfriend and mute Sona.
"Sorry we're late, our little expedition took more out of us then we thought." Ahri explained "To think we'd sleep in on Ashe's wedding day!"
"Wait what was that about an expedition? I hadn't heard anything about this." Kat asked. It seemed to be the question on everyone's tongue.
"I'm so glad you asked! Sona I think it's time we show the fruits of our labor!" Ahri was practically teeming with excitement when Sona stepped to the front of the group.
"Hello." She spoke?! The group was shocked. They were the ones that were speechless for once. "It's still pretty strange for me so please don't mind me if I don't talk." "Nonsense! You should be talking up a storm!"
Vi patted her back a little harder then she thought and nearly knocked her over.
"Eh-he. Sorry sometimes I don't know my own strength. Anyway congratulations." Vi exclaimed with an agreeing nod from Caitlyn.
"Where could you have gone to get her voice back?" Riven asked
"Well we heard the rumors of the magical power left from the League in Kalamanda." Ahri answered. "That's the Crystal Scar right?" "Correct. We thought that harnessing the power that was left over we could-"
"Guys I think it's time!" Lux interrupted. Everyone was funneling into the palace and that was enough of an indication for the group to move in as well. As the trio found their seats Kat noticed something.
"Since when did Kass and Malz..?" "I thought we told you? Kass found a way to uncorrupt Malzahar. He's been in Kassadin's 'debt' ever since."
Lux quickly answered. "Now if you want something to look at, look at the alter."
Up front, six or so rows ahead of where the three of them sat, stood the mountain of a woman, the leader of the Winters Claw, Sejuani. Riven had to admit, Sej did look handsome in a suit. She could see the twitches on her face either saying she was nervous or that she would rather be in her furs and armor instead of a weak suit. Riven guessed it was both considering she had the same face in the mirror when she was putting on her suit. Even though she knew she was amongst friends, Riven still felt nervous being out with the two most important people in the world to her.
The nudges she got from both sides brought her back to attention as music started to play and the entire reception turned to the gates they not long ago entered through. A guard from each clan opened the doors to reveal an entourage of what Riven assumed to be relatives and other loyal Avarosan. At the end how walked Ashe, the current Queen of the Freljord.
As Ashe walked down the isle, arm looped with the stalwart Braum, Riven's mind raced.
'Will I ever be in this situation?' She thought while looking over her girlfriends.'If I ever see these two walking down an isle like this, I might just cry right then and there.' When the two brides to be were finally face to face the final piece of the ceremony could commence.
Saying that the wedding went off without a hitch would be almost correct. The one hitch being the two queens getting married of course. The after party was extraordinary as the now entirely united Freljord celebrated this long anticipated event.
Not all of Valoran was excited to here this news. In the depths of the earth, far from the League's watchful eye, grew a threat to Runeterra like it had never seen. All of the wars that were fought on the planet could not compare to devastation this being would cause. Even the endless nightmares of the void cower before it. This being of unknown size, intelligence, and physical or magical strength has been planing its rise to power for centuries. Now it's time to set those plans in motion.
A story always has a beginning, but so too, does it have an end.
Author's notes:
Okay this is my first fanfiction that I ever had the power in my heart to write let alone post on the Internet for people to read. I love Katariven, Katxlux, and Rivenxlux, but I've seen so little of these three together that I wanted to, I had to write this. A lot of things will be explained later in the story if it's well received.
I know it's trash and I know that there's to many gay couples but.
BUT like I said if this story is well received I have a plan for another 9 ch right now that have many more ships and shit. I'm willing to listen to suggestions, even if they're telling me that my writing is trash.
I'll post the relationships that I plan to incorporate in the story as well.
Thanks.
