(3) Needing Support

I don't know how to explain this, but I feel pretty dead. The last I heard was "Ahri! Look out!" and then I fell down. I knew I told Sona to run away, but I think she wouldn't do that to me. I gotta say, I thank Sona if she did save my life, and if not, I hope that I can protect her spiritually.

Ahri's eyes open up slowly and sees Sona sleeping on her with her instrument covering them from the rain. "S-Sona... You... did save me..." said Ahri as she smiled slowly and hugged onto her. Sona was covering Ahri's big wound on her stomach and a small red potion nearby. "Y-You... did attempt to heal my wounds..." said Ahri as she patted Sona's back. "Thank you S-Sona..." said Ahri as she closed her eyes again.

A small group of people were walking around the Rift searching for any evil around the area. "I've heard some explosives around in this area, not sure what caused it, but it came from someone big" said a woman with a wand. "Is that so? I wonder who caused it" said a big man with huge armor and sword. They are already aware that rain is pouring into to them. "Ugh... not rain again... I hate it so much! It gets my hair messed up!" yelled a woman with a wand. "Well, you gotta deal with it, I had to fight through it all in the cold and in the rain" said the big man. "Well, I'm not! Especially in the Summoner's Rift!" said the woman with a wand.

Ahri hears their words coming through the bushes. "Sona... I hear someone... I'll go check it out.." said Ahri softly before she crawled her way towards the sound of their words. The big man stood still and hears something crawling around. "I hear something, I can easily sense that someone is trying to ambush us" said the big man as he lifted his sword up and preparing to strike. Ahri say one word before she falls over from the bush. "Help me please..." Ahri then looks up and is shocked to see someone trying to slash her.

"Wait! Maybe she needed some help!" said the woman as she points to her open wound. The big man puts back his sword and looks at Ahri. "Look, I don't know if you are trying to trick us or something, but I feel like you are one of 'them' out there in the Rift" said the big man. "But bro, you know that she looks injured and that she is looking for help right? Maybe one of 'them' attacked them or something" said the woman. "If we get killed by you, this will not stand" said the big man as he lifts Ahri up. "E-Excuse me... But... I-I have another friend... who also needs help..." said Ahri as her voice was trembling from fear. "What? You have another one? Where?" said the big man. "S-She's in that bush..." said Ahri as she points through the bush. "Alright, how about you bring her to us, now I'm feeling a bit suspicious" said the big man as he was about to pull his sword back out. Ahri quickly goes back to Sona and was relieved that she was still there.

"Sona... Let's go... I found someone that can help us..." said Ahri as she tried to lift Sona up. The big man peeks into the bush and notices that Ahri was trying to bring along Sona. "Huh, so you weren't tricking us, you had someone trying to protect you" said the big man as he comes to them. "S-See! I told you bro! Why would she trick us?" said the woman as she was relieved. The big man lifts Sona up and tells the woman to help Ahri.

The woman looks at Ahri's wounds and was trying to cover it up with bandages. "You look like you took a beating here" said the woman as she slowly bandages the wound. "Call me Lux, I've been searching around the Summoner's Rift with my brother, Garen, one in a while to see if there was anything evil" said Lux as she pours a red potion onto the wound and to the bandage. "T-Thank you Lux... I thought we would never been found... I'm Ahri and my friend over there is Sona..." said Ahri weakly. "Let's get back to Demacia and talk things through with them, they must have something important in their mind" said Garen as they slowly make their way to their homeland.

As they arrive at Demacia, Garen questions Ahri. "So Ahri, why are you two at the Summoner's Rift? You do realize it's a hotspot for enemies" said Garen. "W-Well... we were summoned by a Summoner and the area we were summoned in had the words: Summoner's Rift" said Ahri as she was trying to think back her time of her summoning. Garen sighs and looks at her once more. "Ahri, you don't know the true meaning to Summoner's Rift, and it's alright that you don't know because you were recently summoned" said Garen. "What is the real meaning to Summoner's Rift?..." said Ahri as she was wondering. "Well, long story, but I'll try to explain it as best as possible, you help me out with it too Lux" said Garen.

"Summoner's Rift is a battlefield created by the legendary Summoners to have a dual and fight among good and evil. Not much is known about the Rift because we weren't summoned during then, but we can say that it is still a dangerous place for anyone, even for beginners all the way to professionals" said Garen.

"W-Wait a minute Garen, when I was young our parents told us that the Summoner's Rift was created because some legendary Summoner smacked the evil Summoner's cookie off his hands and they got into a fight" said Lux confused.

"Um, that is because we were too young to know how the Rift was really created for" said Garen. "But anyways, the Rift was really made to test the skills of their champions in a battleground where they must destroy the opponent's Nexus Core to win the match" said Garen.

It all sounds boring and what not, but I didn't seem to quite understand fully. But what does the Rift really mean? I'm not sure, but if it is for fighting to know what the answer to the Rift is, then maybe I should too.

"Oh yeah, who did you two meet that got your that injured?" said Lux as she was curious. "We, saw a small dark mage and a mechanical being, but someone took in the damage for us, a very big damage..." said Sona as she finally wakes up and was listening the entire time. "Wha?! Sona! You were awake?" said Ahri as she thought that Sona was still unconscious. Garen tells Lux to take them in a room inside the Demacia Hotel. "Come with me Ahri and Sona! Jarvan the IV's hotel is really nice and beautiful!" said Lux as she literally drags them to their room.

But really, I still don't understand the real reason of the Summoner's Rift. Maybe just a nice rest and soon we'll be off from here. Ahri and Sona looks around the new room that Lux has showed them. The room has: 2 beds, a flat screen TV, a mirror, 2 windows, a shelf filled with mysterious books, health/mana dispenser, and a bathroom with a shower.

Sona immediately goes to the shower room and washes up. Ahri turns on the TV and just lays on bed as she watches: The Legendary Faker. Ahri notices that she has some dirt and grass on her skin and thinks back in time where they first encountered the little dark mage and the mechanical being.

"No... I don't want to think about it again, that... I can forget about and move on" said Ahri as she shakes her head. Sona comes out of the bathroom just wearing a towel. "Ahri~! It's time for your bath~" said Sona as she has already prepared the bathtub.

"Whatever... Let's talk about it later on... after Sona's... Bath" said Ahri.

"So... You are saying that you saw a woman with nine tails and a woman with a strange instrument?" said a mysterious figure with a raspy voice. "Of course! We were almost about to take out those fools, if it wasn't for this big guy!" yelled the little dark mage as he blames it on the mechanical being. "Quiet you tiny screecher" said the mysterious figure. "We'll get them again when they least expected, but first, let me possess a soul of this person named, Lux" said the mysterious figure as he writes down something on his death book.

You guys want cookies or juice? What's that? You want a specific one? Go get one yourself at a store or something, we don't have what you need.
