Chapter 8
Volibear left the village in such a hurry he forgot to clean his armor. The words Bubbling Bog haunted his mind every step he took. There were so many memories he had, so much blood was shed, and he. He was the only free creature on the fields of Justice. Volibear had a score to settle, but this would be one of the hardest battles yet to come. Volibear was at the edge of the Serpentine River as he looked across he could already see the beginning of the Bubbling Bog. Faint footsteps behind him revealed a mall boy following Volibear. Normally Volibear would ignore such things, but the Bubbling Bog is no place for a child to be. The danger that lurks there is more terrifying than most that haunt Runeterra. "Leave now child, this is no place for you to be" Volibear said. The child quickly hid behind a rock, hoping that Volibear would not see him. Releasing a loud roar, a huge strike of thunder crushed the rock; but kept the child unharmed. The child shocked by what he just saw, Volibear approached this child. "Head back to the village and tell everyone to remain there" Volibear said. The child was fearful, but his eyes determined. Volibear could see this clearly "No! You don't know me, but I will become the world's best summoner one day!" The boy yelled.
Volibear freaked out, the word summoner is one he has not heard in a long time. His claw reached for the boys throat grabbing it carelessly. His claws going deeper in his neck, the young boy had trouble breathing "Where have you heard that boy, I should exterminate you here for saying such things" Volibear shouted. The skies darkened as Volibear summoned a lightning filled sky. His grip now scratching the boy's neck, drops of blood drip down his neck "Let me go!" The boy yelled. Struggling to get out of Volibears claws, but a futile attempt. "Tell me who told you about the summoners boy!" Volibear roared as a strike of lightning struck down behind him. The boy trembled in fear, his pant soaked as he peed in his old pants. "I….I….D…Dreamt about it" The boy stuttered in fear. Volibear could see in his eye's that he was telling the truth, Volibear was also freaked out. The world around him was falling apart. Dangers from every corner. This boy, he knew about the summoners, but how could Volibear kill a child. This was no matter for Volibear to decide, but he could not let the boy go. He posed to much of a threat "Who have you told about your dreams boy?" Volibear asked more calmly than before. Volibear released his grip, but did not let the boy go "I….I…didn't tell anyone, no one would believe me; even if I told them." The boy said.
Volibear grabbed the boy by his waist and threw him on his back. The boy nearly slipped off, but held fast on his armor. Surprisingly this time there was no current that shocked him, Volibear could control it; meaning the first time he sent a bolt of electric current in his fingers on purpose. The boy figured this much out, and Volibear could see that by his expression. This boy was no ordinary boy, Volibear knew he had to keep the boy close and safe until they reached Demacia "I want to go home…" The boy said while nearly in tears. Volibear ignored the boy and continued, the boy couldn't escape. Volibear was too big for him to jump off from, he would hurt his legs too badly "No, your time here has come to an end. You are coming with." Volibear answered. The boy mumbled non sense and kept on babbling until they both reached the center of the Bubbling Bog. Volibear knew with a child to protect he was at a disadvantage if it came down to a fight. A narrow fog blocked the view, it was a familiar fog. Everything went black, as the child held Volibear in a tight grip.
"You have come into my territory Thunder Wielder." A deep voice said from the depths of the fog. Volibear released a current of electricity from his paws as he watched carefully what might appear from the fog. "Show yourself Baron Nashor" Volibear said. The fog slowly faded as the sight became more clear by the second. What was reveled scared Volibear, his claws retracted as the current slowly disappeared. It seemed like Volibear was preparing to give up the fight. What he saw was the might Dragon besides Baron Nashor. By the looks of it they have teamed up, but why Volibear asked himself. "Do not weary Volibear, we seek no fight this day" The dragon said in a high pitch. The dragon flew up on an edge besides Volibear. "Indeed….for this day….we come in unity" Baron Nashor said. His voice so deep the ears of the child started hurting. He covered it, which helped against the pain; but prevented him from hearing what was being said "Unity? So you have sensed it as well Baron Nashor" Volibear said.
"Great darkness….will swallow us all. You have to unity….the kingdom…" Baron Nashor said. Volibear was surprised by this, normally Baron Nashor would attack on sight; so would the dragon. This darkness got even them fearful. It seems so dark, that even the two mightiest of creatures are scared. "And so I was doing Baron Nashor, can I count that you will not harm anyone for the time being?'' Volibear asked. Baron Nashor a huge worm-like creature now raised from the ground, revealing his huge body "If the kingdom…..does not unity…..we are all doomed." Baron Nashor said. Volibear knew this was a chance to ally with the mightiest creature in all of Runeterra. "Than help us Baron Nashor, we have all fought against each other. Yet, We need strength in number. We need power, power like yours" Volibear said. Baron Nashor retreated back into the ground, only revealing his head "That I cannot do…my time will be near its end. The prodigal son will return, for he is close…" Baron Nashor Said. Volibear wondered what this could mean. Was he talking about the child on his back, what prophecy was Baron Nashor talking about. Volibear turned around to face the child, who fainted from the low and high pitched voices of the two. The fog raised, but in an instant disappeared again. Volibear now seemed to be somewhere else, this was the exit of the Bubbling Bog. It seems their Journey was only just beginning.
