Hello friends! Here is the next chapter!

I'm sorry that this one isn't thaaat long, but I don't have much time this week but still wanted to get one chapter out. The next one will definetely be longer and should also be much more exciting!

I hope you'll still enjoy this one! I'll try to bring at least one chapter out each week. So I hope I'll see you soon!

I woke up the next day. I had to blink a few times before I realised where I was. Yep, it was still the same bed I fell into yesterday. It was not a dream. I sat up and stretched a little before I looked at the clock besides my bed. It was 12 o'clock. I guess I must have been really exhausted if I slept that long...

Oh well, good thing that I didn't sleep any longer. I have to start getting ready for today! And getting ready as a yordle takes quite some time. I stood up and looked for the bathroom in this house. After a while I found it and went inside. Unlike the rest of the house it seemed to have all of the necessary furniture in it already. A huge shower, a toilet, a sink and mirror and even a bathtub.

I started the water in the shower so it could warm up a little and then started getting undressed. Then I went inside and immediately felt the warm water hitting my fur. I took the shampoo that was standing in the shower and started cleaning myself. I always wondered if humans also need that long to shower. Most of them are bigger, so they have more to clean, but they don't have fur, and taking good care of fur is rather hard.

After one and a half hours I was finally finished with cleaning myself. I went out of the shower and started drying myself. This also took almost half an hour. It was a little after 14 o'clock when I was completely finished. I still have one hour left, but I decided to leave already. I slowly walked towards my destination and looked around. There were many other houses besides mine. I wonder how many Champions there are. I have rarely watched any League matches, usually only when Tristana, Teemo, Rumble or Ziggs were fighting.

I reached the room where I was going to answer the questions soon. Some Champions were already sitting in there and talked, but I didn't recognize any of them. I managed to get to the rostrum largely unnoticed and waited for my time. The time was passing and I heard more and more voices. After a while, a Summoner came up and began talking.

„My dear Champions. I am happy to introduce you to our newest Champion. Please welcome Vait, the Gifted Alchemist!"

Oh, I guess that is my title... Either way, that was my cue. I stepped forward and revealed myself. I saw alot of people and monsters, probably over one houndred of them. They all stared at me. It made me quite uncomfortable, but I guess I'll have to endure that for now.

„Uhm... Hello! My name is Vait. As you know I am the new Champion joining the League... You can ask me questions now if you want..." Great, doesn't get better than this I guess...

I immediately saw several hands rising up. I looked around for a while until I saw a specific person. I smiled a little while he was grinning brightly as always.

„Yes?" I asked the person and he started talking

„Hehe, what took ya so long, buddy?"

„How about we talk about that later, Ziggs? Then I'll explain it to you." He just nodded and kept smiling.

I looked around once more and saw a little girl with long, multicoloured hair and two different eye colours. She was jumping up and down.

„Uhm, yes?"

„Hi, I'm Zoe! And you are sooooo fluffy and cute and adorable! Can I hug you? Pleaaaaase let me hug you!" Her voice was very high and she talked rather fast.

„Uhm... Sure I guess?"

„Yaaaay!" The girl jumped up and seemed to disappear. I was quite confused for a second, but then I saw arms wrapping around me and then something was hugging me extremely hard. I looked behind me and saw the girl, smiling brightly as she continued her hugging attack. After a while she let me go, waved and dissappeard through a portal. She then was sitting in her original spot, looking very satisfied.

The next one that caught my attention was a big, cat-like person. Once I looked at him he began talking in his deep voice.

„I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but it does not look like you have much fighting experience. Do you really think that this place is for you? Fighting on the Rift is certainly not easy."

„No, you're right. I don't have much experience. And I'm sure the first few battles on the Rift will be quite hard for me. But I'm also sure that I'll learn quickly and that I will be just as good as you all!"

I saw a small smile appear on his face.

The next person was someone I knew! It's the famous Sheriff of Piltover, Caitlyn! I have met her a few times when I helped people in Piltover.

„I think I already know the answer, but just to make sure: You will be a Support on the Rift, yes?"

„Oh, yeah! I think Support would be the best role for me!"

She simply nodded.

This went on for quite some time. A girl with long, blue hair asked me if my pistol is the only weapon I brought with me. After I confirmed this, she told her own weapon that she'll enjoy blowing me up.

A girl with fox ears and several tails asked me why my hair was such a mess and told me that she'll help me fix this

I tried to avoid him, but he was the last person that had a question. It was Tahm Kench. He is well known and hated by most yordles. He asked me if I had any desires that he could help me with. I just ignored him.

After that question it was finally over. The others started to leave and I sighed quietly. It was certainly not as bad as I imagined, but it was still not fun.

I slowly got down from the rostrum and I was immediately greeted by a certain yordle that knocked me over and hugged me tightly. I most certainly didn't expect to get hugged so much when I woke up today...

„Oh I missed ya little buddy! Why did it take you so long coming here? I told the recruitment team to have a look at you a long time ago! But that's not important, what's important is that you're here now!" The high pitched voice of Ziggs made me smile.

„Sooo... I guess you two know each other?" I looked up and saw Rumble walking towards us. I don't know any of the yordles personally expect Ziggs, but I know how most of them look.

„Yes! Vait and I are good buddies! I missed him quite a lot!"

„Hehe, I missed you too, Ziggs! But could we maybe continue this talk in the cafeteria? I actually have not eaten anything today."

„Oh, yeah, sure!" Ziggs stopped hugging me and got up. He even offered me a hand for getting up. I gladly took it and also got up. We then walked to the cafeteria. Ziggs and Rumble only got themselves something to drink while I took a whole meal for myself.

„Okay, tell me. How did you guys meet? I didn't expect you two to be so close."

„Ohhh, we've known each other for a veeery long time now! Even longer than I know you, Rumble!"

„Yep, but I still remember it as if it happened yesterday... It all started with a very loud..."


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

„What the hell was that?" I was just walking around for a while, enjoying the nature and trying to relax. I was just coming back from an emergency in Noxus and wanted to have some free time now, but I guess this is a little more important right now.

I ran towards the noise and looked for someone that could be hurt. And soon enough I saw a yordle. His face and armor was completely covered in black, probably because of the explosion. I really thought I came too late, but to my surprise I saw that the other yordle was still breathing. He was probably unconscious, though. Since I didn't bring any potions with me, I decided to carry him back to my home to nurse him there.

It took a while and several potions, but he finally woke up. He immediately jumped from my bed and looked around confused.

„W-where am I? Where is my bomb? Wait, I remember the BOOOOM! But why am I in a house now?"

„Woah, chill out! I heard the explosion and you were laying unconscious on the ground. So I decided to take you here and patch you up a little."

„Ohhhh, I see! I must have miscalculated the explosive power of my bomb! Hehehe, but that means my bomb is even stronger than I anticipated! That's amazing news!"

„I don't get how you're not even hurt. This explosion sounded very powerful."

„Oh, don't worry, I've had much worse accidents with my bombs! I'm used to it by now! Haha! Oh, by the way, I'm Ziggs! Thanks for helping me out, buddy!" It made me a little uncomfortable that he was smiling the whole time. Even while he was unconscious he was smiling widely.

„Well, I'm Vait. Nice to meet you!"


„Yep, that was it." I finished the story. I had to smile when I remembered it.

„Haha, I remember that too! I was such an impatient yordle back then! Haha!"

„Yep, that certainly changed Ziggs..." Rumble looked at him with a smirk.

„It's a real shame that we couldn't hang out more back then! But you had to attend to many emergencies and then I went to Piltover and then we had no contact whatsoever and then I was sad because I really like you but now I'm happy because you joined the League and we can hang out muuuch more!"

„... Sometimes I really wonder if you even have to breath..." We all laughed and I finished my meal.

We kept talking for some time and after a while Tristana and Lulu joined us.

„Hey guys, I have an awesome idea!" Tristana told us with a big smirk on her face.
