A New Path
"Nautilus… Nautilus he died years ago during the pirate raids"
Those words ring in my head as I stagger back as a memory appears in my mind, "you shall be forgotten young one…" "but that makes no sense, I was here about 2 months ago you cheered away as me and my father's crew departed for lands unknown, I was there, we all were there!" I yell at them the crowd becoming rather angry, "A monster from the depths of the bearded lady's home claims to be Captain Stu's dead son have you no respect monster" yells one of the crowd members as they begin chucking more stones and various tools at me,
"Stop it… Stop it… STOP IT!" I yell as energy forms around me knocking back the townsfolk as I sprint out of my home and through the streets of Bilgewater, "Get out of here MONSTER" chants the villagers as they pelt me with rocks and various household objects. I near the gates of Bilgewater as members of the summoner police crowd the gate blocking my way out of Bilgewater, "Halt! Take no step further you are under arrest surrender peacefully or we will use force" says what I am presuming to be the captain, "I didn't do anything!" I say still charging at the gate several of the summoners jump to safety but the captain and several others stand their ground and charge a single spell and fire it at me, "why is all this-" I utter before I am consumed by complete darkness.
…
I awake to find myself in an all-white room, "where am I?" I ask out loud as I attempt to move only to find out I have been magically chained to the floor, "why is all of this happening?" I say softly when suddenly a door opens and several summoners enter into the room, "We believe that you have come into contact with the elder god" says on one of the summoners, "what?" I respond not knowing what he is talking about, "You know damn well what I am talking about monster… THE ELDER GOD NAGAKABOUROUS, THE 'BEARDED LADY' YOU BILGEWATER WHARF RATS CALL IT" he yells at me getting very close to my face, "Calm down Phil and that's an order!" says the other summoner who happens to be his superior or something, "You better fucking talk monster now where is it" if the venom in his voice could kill I would be dead 10 times over by now, "I-I don't know it was all just a rush" I honestly reply, "You're going to lie to the tribunal now I can have you executed anytime I want demon" he wickedly retorted making me believe he is just as bloodthirsty as a predator hunting prey. "Philligan! I said CALM DOWN that's it you are relieved of duty today return to your quarters for further instructions" replies the superior summoner to which Philligan glares at his superior for a brief period challenging his authority before exiting the room, "now that he is gone let's get these chains off of you you're no void born" he says while snapping his fingers and the chains fall soundlessly to the ground,
"Now if you please start from the beginning what happened to you" he says pulling a chair out of thin air.
I finish telling my tell from the beginning as the summoner finishes jotting down some notes, "sounds like you were in some deep shit Nautilus, but it is weird that no one in Bilgewater recognized you, I mean you left your home with your father's crew two months ago and now they say that you've died years ago during the pirate raids?" he says standing up and stretching, "walk with me Nautilus" he says opening a door that was not there before.
As we begin to walk down the hall I get curious looks from various other summoners and people wearing heavy armor with equally heavy weapons. "I never caught you name by the way" I ask the superior summoner, "Oh! My name is Simmian nice to meet you Nautilus. By the way are you hungry spending an unknown amount of time on the ocean floor must work up an appetite" he replies leading me into the cafeteria area.
We find a seat in one of the corner tables, "so where are we exactly?" I ask Simmian, "We are in the cafeteria… I'm joking with you we are currently in hall of justice, a small check point just outside of the league" he says pulling out a sandwich from his bag, "League? What League?" I respond clearly confused and out of the loop of things, "You don't know about the league? Well everyone should know unless you are some kind of hermit." Laughs Simmian as he magically brings up a holographic structure, "Well the League's full name is League of Legends is a proving grounds for warring nations to peacefully settle disputes without coming to blows or going to all-out war" explains Simmian, "Currently the biggest event right now is Noxus vs. Ionia for the southern provinces of Ionia bordering Noxus, it's a best out of three matchup currently Noxus is in the lead with one victory, but Ionia is not giving up their land so easily, I probably should not tell people this, but I am rooting for Ionia and Philligan is rooting for Noxus" He whispers to me I sit back and take in the information, "You want to know what's funny? I'm from Noxus and Philligan is from Ionia" he chuckles I finally get the joke and I begin to laugh too.
