Promise Me
The void monster who jumped at Lux was Rek' sai and was about to claw at her if Ezreal hadn't moved in front of Lux right on time. Rek' sai plunged at Ezreal with her claws instead. Lux who was standing behind Ezreal saw what was happening and couldn't help but cry out for her boyfriend. Her boyfriend had just saved her life and is now suffering from a large scratch in front of his chest.
"Ezreal!" She screamed as Ezreal fell back and landed on the ground with a thump. His explorer top was torn into shreds and he was bleeding profusely. Ezreal grunted and winced in pain from the deep scratch the void monster had caused. Lux who was scared decided that she needed to do something to resolve this whole mess. She saw Rek' sai about to leave in her tunnel but decided to light bind her and final spark her to kill her off for causing Ezreal so much pain. After Rek' sai had been defeated, Lux ran to Ezreal with tears streaming down her face. Ezreal reached his hand up and stroked Lux's tender face not wanting to see her cry.
"Oh.. Ezreal.. babe... let me help you out.." she opened up her bag and took out some white bandage rolls and some health pots to help Ezreal out. She tore off some bandage and wrapped the area with the deep gash in his flesh. There was certainly a lot of blood and Ezreal felt that he had lost a ton of blood. He lied limply on the floor almost as if he was lifeless. His face was a lot paler than before and he didn't think he would make it.
"Lux... if I don't make it.. I just want to let you know that I love you.. I would do anything to keep you from harm..." He said while spurting out blood. Lux's eyes grew wide as she saw the one she loved spurt out blood from his mouth..
"No! Babe! Don't you dare die on me! We've made it this far! Piltover is so close! Baby!" She yelled as Ezreal's eyes began shutting. She couldn't bear the thought of losing her boyfriend. Just as Ezreal's eyes shut, Lux began crying even louder in hopes of Garen coming to save her like he always did when they were lay Ezreal's head on top of her lap whilst tear drops pelted down on his face. She didn't want to lose the love of her life. Just when she was about to give up on all hope, she saw a glow appear in Ezreal's messenger bag. It was a faint golden glow but began shining ever so brightly inside the void cave. The glow emitted a strange but magical aura that mysteriously swirled around his entire body. Once the light faded, Ezreal blinked his eyes and saw Lux's swollen puffy eyes from crying over him. He reached up and touched her cheeks.
"I'm alright babe..." he said trying to soothe her. He didn't know what had happened but it had revived him from his death. Lux was still shocked at what had just occurred. Something miraculously happened right in front of her eyes. She glanced at Ezreal then at his messenger bag. 'What the heck was that yellow glow?' She thought to herself.
"Babe.. what's in that bag of yours?" she questioned eyeing his bag. Ezreal looked confused and reached into his bag. He held up the blue stone and looked at it. The stone had changed and was glowing now. It wasn't glowing when he had found it in the Ruins of Shurima but it was glowing when he was supposedly dead.
"That is strange... I don't remember it glowing.." he stated trying to figure out what this stone is. He suddenly felt a jolt of energy when he sat up and felt no more pain from the deep scratch. That was something new because he was just dead a few minutes ago. He lifted up his torn shirt to see that the wound had been healed because of Lux and the power of the talisman. He then looked at his gloves and saw two little blue stones implemented inside the once empty sockets. The talisman had just saved his life when he was in danger.
"So.. you are the ascended one..." she whispered. Ezreal still couldn't believe that he had powers now. The talisman gave him the ability to shoot out light and move quickly. Now they didn't need to venture out to Piltover for the blacksmith. Ezreal who was extremely excited about his new skills began testing them out. Lux just stared at him with amazement. She was glad that her boyfriend was back and better than healthy.
They then decided it was best to return to Demacia even though this so-called "adventure" of theirs didn't even last that long. At least Lux was given a chance to show her brother how much she has grown. She could finally show off that she defeated Rek' sai all by herself and that she isn't a baby anymore.
By the time it was midnight, Ezreal and Lux arrived to the Demacia gates, hand-in-hand and full of excitement from such a hectic day. Garen, who doesn't sleep till much later was still in the Demacia training grounds practicing with his sword. Lux spotted him training so diligently that she decided to pull a little prank on him. She light binded the floor and Garen looked over to see a spark of light flicker then burst. He became suspicious and walked over to where Lux and Ezreal were hiding. He heard snickering behind the wall of the training ground and saw his sister with her boyfriend. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him but when he saw his sister burst into a giggle fit, he could not deny that it was indeed his baby sister.
"Lux!? Is that you? What are you doing back here?" he questioned. Lux who had gone through a strenuous day ran up to her big brother and gave him a tight hug. Lux then told him the whole story of their adventure and also told him how Ezreal got his powers. Garen was amazed at how much Ezreal had cared for Lux and almost died while trying to save her. He gave Ezreal a large grin and patted his back. Garen needed to talk to Ezreal alone so he took him by his arm and dragged him to the side where Lux couldn't hear what they were saying.
"I knew you'd be the perfect guy for my little sis!" He implied while Ezreal smirked. Garen had lightened up ever since Lux told him about Ezreal jumping to save her from being clawed.
"Yeah.. if only I could just marry her now and be her savior forever.." He said. Garen saw that Ezreal had proved himself worthy decided to allow Ezreal to propose.
"I will let you marry my sister under one circumstance." He stated. Ezreal looked at Garen with a confusing expression as Garen was an unpredictable man.
"What? What is the circumstance?" Ezreal asked trying to gain Garen's favor and not provoke him like before.
"Promise me you will always take care of her and not let her get harmed. I trust you... and.. I still get to see my baby sister after she begins living with you.." Garen chuckled and Ezreal nodded and smiled.
"Don't worry.. I promise to take good care of Lux.. she's my everything.. and you can come and visit your sister.. just don't come everyday.." Ezreal joked. Garen laughed and wished him good luck in proposing.
Ezreal and Garen headed back to where Lux was standing. Lux looked from her smiling brother to her giddy boyfriend and figured something fishy was going on. Ezreal took a deep breath and stood forward while taking Lux's hand in his own.
"Lux.. I know that our adventure didn't last that long.. but.. I realized how much you loved me when your sensitive side came in when I tried to make you jealous.." he teased again. Lux shook her head and rolled her eyes. How could he still joke around after what had happened earlier? "But... I realized that I like your sensitive side because you showed me that I only belonged to you.." He said with sincerity. Lux immediately looked up to see the truth behind Ezreal's cerulean eyes.
"Yeah.. babe.. we belong with each other.." she said and brought her right hand up to stroke his cheek with her thumb.
"I want to always belong to you.. and I want you to belong to me forever..so.. the only way for that to happen is if we get married.. Lux, Lady of Luminosity, Babe, my lovely girlfriend, Will you marry me?" he asked while staring off into her deep sea blue eyes. Lux could not believe her ears. Did Ezreal really propose to her right now? Tears formed in the corner of her eyes and began spilling down. Ezreal didn't prepare any ring but wanted to cut a piece of that blue stone and make a ring for her. Lux didn't mind if he had no ring.. he had brought her a bracelet from Shurima and that already proved his love to her.
"Babe... Yes.. I will!" She said while jumping into his embrace. She gave him one searing kiss while Garen stood at their side smiling contently at his sister being happy. He was also shocked at how fast his baby sister grew. She was now about to get married and he was able to witness it.
"What would you do without me babe?" Ezreal teased with pride and Lux decided to get him back.
"Oh.. well.. you see.. I would probably be with Varus.. his arrows are so cool and he's so hot!" She giggled when she saw Ezreal's face change from pride to disgust.
"Ew.. are you kidding me?! Varus?! That pale skinned dude? Lux I thought you had better taste!" He did a bleh face and Lux couldn't contain her laughter.
"Yeah, I have great taste! That's why I'm with you babe!" She kissed the top of his nose and eyed her sexy husband-to-be up and down. His tousled blonde hair, deep cerulean blue eyes, and tanned glowing skin always took her breath away. Not to mention how fit he was because he is an explorer after all.
"I thought so.." Ezreal smirked and gave Lux another kiss. He treasured every moment he spent with her and he couldn't wait to spend his future with her.
Fin.
