Chapter 6
On the snowy mountains of Frel Jord, Udyr had left behind his alliances and set foot to the Institute of War. Why he had done so was a mystery even to his closest of friends. Udyr was not at the peak of the pillage mountains, behind him he could see the entire of Frel Jord. Fools, Udyr thought by himself. They fight and struggle for a piece of land and ignore the terrors that are soon to come. Udyr had seen the vision of the future and knew what had to be done. As he sat down on the lonely mountain top he grabbed his map and examined the scroll carefully. His time was running short and he had to find the quickest path to his destination.
Below him seemed a large nature made wall of mountains known as the Ironspike Mountains. Passing it would be suicide, especially seeing as the beasts who roam it are more powerful than the legendary dragon. Udyr only had one way to go, he had to travel alongside the Futuristic city of Piltover. The city was far ahead with technology than any other city in Valoran. It's city being nearly crime-free it was a refuge to many who seemed to escape the calamity of war. Udyr set away his map, and started walking as he stood up in a steady pace. Leaving footmarks behind, the cold breeze blew off his headscarf and revealed a scar on his forehead.
Back in Sejuani's camp Volibear was also done preparing his leave. He strapped on his final piece of armor and took his path west out of the camp. Behind him faint footsteps of a four legged creature crept closer. Volibear stayed on path without paying any attention to this noise. "Volibear, Why are you and Udyr suddenly leaving. The camp needs good warrior like you, what if the Iceborns decide to attack." Sejuani said. It was her on her battleboar who was walking behind Volibear. Volibear sighed but did not turn around to face Sejuani. "If the prophecy is being fulfilled, than we are all in danger Sejuani. If Udyr is correct, even the Iceborn would not dare to risk chaos in this time of need." Volibear mumbled. He stopped in his track as a cold breeze passed them by, Volibears face changed his expression from determined to sad. "May you be reborn in the presence of the Ice Anivia" Volibear whispered to the sky.
Volibear turned around and came closer Sejuani. The boar fearsome, but fearful of the large bear. "We have all faced the evil of the summoners, and their exctinction. What is to come next, is more than any of us can handle."Volibear said. "We were enslaved and used for means of war, we killed the one's we loved and it's something none of us will forget." Volibear added. Sejuani silent, terrified by the memories of the Summoners War. She knew all too well the sacrifices that were made. The summoners that were executed. It seemed like yesterday to her. Sejuani couldn't respond, her fearful and troubled face was all too obvious for Volibear. He turned around and continued west, looking back one more time, he stared Sejuani right in the eyes "There has to be peace and unity in the North. Make sure it's achieved before the terror comes in the dark." Volibears last words were.
The skies were clear, and birds were flying freely over the skies of Valoran. One of the birds flew east in the direction of Udyr, who was still walking his lonely path. In the distance he could see the infamous city of Piltover. Unfortunately his journey would not take him there. The great gap stood in front of him, the famous bridge of sly. As he neared the bridge, he was shocked to see what had happened. It was destroyed with no way of crossing it. Udyr found this strange, there was no word of a battle at the bridge. What was this, how would he continue his journey like this. This would mean he would have to walk back and take a long detour. In the distance behind him, he saw a figure at the horizon. Someone was approaching him at fast speed, it almost looked as if he was being chased.
There was no mistakes that screams and voice. That was Ezreal the famous explorer and archeologist of Piltover, but what was he doing here. And why was he running away, and from what exactly. Udyr kept staring as he neared him, bandits were chasing Ezreal; but they seemed different. Their faces were deformed and limbs were missing. They seemed nearly dead, but yet lively enough to run. Ezreal once helped Udyr uncover the cloaks he was wearing, earning a favor and debt with Udyr. Ezreal himself found a device which allowed him to teleport at short distant, which explains the fast movement speed. "Udyr, Old friend! How nice to see you" Ezreal shouted as he neared Udyr. Udyr knew those chasing him were undead creatures. Ezreal pointed behind him and laughed as he begged Udyr for help.
Udyr sat down in this stance and prayed to the spirit of the Phoenix. Flames rised from his cloak as it's shaped changed to that of a dreadful phoenix. His claws sharp as that of predator he began running towards Ezreal. Ezreal smiled as he activated his high tech arm cannons. Jumping in the air he turned around and show one of the undead. Udyr who was just a few inches away, clawed his way through a number of undead leaving them decapitated in his tracks. It didn't take long before all the undead were actually dead again. Udyr's cloak changed back into its normal form. Ezreal came to stand next to Udyr, looking over the dead corpses "Yeah, I found an old tomb. Wasn't as dead as I hoped it be. Udyr looked troubled, Ezreal had no notion of what danger was. He always went in head first. Ezreal looked at the bridge, as he grinned "Guess you wanted to pass it huh, there is another way…. I could show you." Ezreal said. Udyr looked bothered this time, looking at Ezreal he knew this would be a stupid plan. "I know a secret passage I once found, the only downside is…..it comes up at Zaun city. And I needed a strong ally before going there alone, you know what they say. The city is just as foul as the champions living there." Ezreal said jokingly. Udyr has heard allot about the dreaded Zaun city, one of the few evil capitols in Valoran.
