Chapter 2
The battle went long, but soon, the enemy team invaded our base and won. Defeat washed over me, as I knew I let my team down. I had only three deaths, but only four kills and two assist. Head down, I walked down the halls to lead us to town, ready to head to my new home, my pockets empty, and I knew I couldn't eat. Dragging the end of my staff down the cold tilled floor, i wrapped an arm around myself, gripping my side. Pushing out of the base of the competitions, I headed down the dark streets to my house, the lamps have yet lit up. I look around, seeing many houses lit up, as joy could be heard from them. Shacking my head I turned down my road, walking to the end, coming to the front of my driveway to my house. The house was simple, trees grew around it, as it was a modern looking, nothing about it made it stand out. But at this point I didn't give a shit. Going to the front door I unlocked my door, pushing myself inside, turning on the lights.
The house was really small, a bathroom, small living room, and a tiny bedroom with a bed in the middle. It was very plan and dull, and bothered me a lot. I wish I could change it up, but I don't got any gold to do anything. Letting my staff fall down on the floor, I laid down on my couch, hiding my face against the pillow, holding it tightly as I took deep shacky breaths. I knew that things would of ended out bad, and now I look like a idiot and a weakling. My stomach growled for food, as i grew really hungry after a long day of battle.
A small tap came to my door, as I looked up from my spot, just as the door open, as Ashe's head pop out into the room.
"Hey girl, don't be upset. It's your first battle, we're not all lucky and get a win our first time" she said, walking in and sitting down next to me.
"It's not that.." I mummbled holding my pillow more. "I just don't got any gold.." And to back me up, my stomach growled.
"That's what I came here for! " Ashe gave me a smile, brushing her white hair out of her face. "Come on, all of the champions are waiting for you."
Standing up, Ashe helped me get up and leaded me out of my house, and down to the middle of town, a huge house filled with lights and music came into view.
"Are they..?" I started to ask, glancing over at Ashe, who gave me a nod. "No way, really?"
"Yup, and go see yourself!" She said pushing me into the house, a banner hanged out saying "welcome to the league!" And under it read "Ruler of Darkness"
I couldn't help but smile as I giggle softly, and soon people notice I had showed myself, as they start to gather around me, smiling and making small chat with me. But the smell of food came to me, as I pushed past people, reaching the table, seeing the large amount of food, as I could feel the urge to drool. Taking a plate I filled it up, as I settle down in a chair, eating away as people came by and talk to me. Out of the conner of my eye I caught a glimpse of Mazlahar, talking to a man in a heavy suit of amor. They made hush talk, as the man in the heavy suit soon grew mad at Malzahar, soon walking away from him. Seeing it as good time, I got up, walking over to him, tapping him on his arm. He turned around, looking down at me, a raised brow up, his arms folded around his chest.
"Hey, I just want to say that I had a really good match today."
"Stop lying. Your disappointed, I can tell."
Folding my ears back, I sifted around "no, I'm disappointed because I didn't earn gold and I can't do anything and sadly have to ask for help, making me look even more weaker." I said, mumbling.
"Well you are weak, but you are new, so you got a while. But anyways, I came here to drop this off." He said, holding out a box. "Last time a champion came and I didn't show up with a gift the whole team hunt me down and told me off." He said, dropping it down in my hands, as he gave me a nod, flying off.
"Wait!" I cried out running out the door after him, grabbing ahold of his scarf. "Could I ask a favor?"
"What more do you need meat." He snapped turning around.
"I want you to train me" I said, looking deeply in his eyes. After a while, he shrugged, floating off, saying
"I'll think about it."
Returning back to the house, everyone started handing me boxes and bags, to the point I had to have people help me carry it back home.
Once in my house, door locked and all lights but my lamp beside my bed off, I sat infront of all the gifts people gave me. I took my time to notice who have given me what, and the last box I had sat on my lap, as it was Malzahar. It had moved slightly, as it freaked me out. Opening it, a voidling came out, making a little squeak as it landed on my bed running around.
"The hell?" I said as it crawled into my lap pushing the box out of the way, as it curled up, it's head looked up at me. Gently, I pet it's head, as it calmed down, relaxing. I looked back at the box, seeing a small note popping out a little. Reaching over, I grabbed it, as I read it to myself.
'Take care of this voidling, his life span can last up for three years, so enjoy.
Ps. He doesn't have to eat, but don't be shocked if he tries to steal good from your plate
-Malzahar'
I smiled softly as I look down at my new pet, stroking its hard rough crystal shaped head, as its golden eyes glowed brightly. I soon got up, putting away the gold, food, cloths, and other gifts away in the right spot.
Walking back into my bedroom, I found my voidling curled up on the top of my pillow, asleep soundly. I changed into sweat pants and a tank top, crawled into the bed, settling down, and turned off my lamp.
"Goodnight my little Mal" I say mindless, petting the voidling on the head.
The next day, I didn't have a match till late at night, so I change into nice relaxing cloths, grabbed my gold, over around 10 thousand gold, Mal, and headed out of the house, using my wings to fly off to the store. Mal nuzzled his head on my arm as he watch down below as we flew off over town. Soon I found a store, as I landed down at the front, letting Mal down on the ground, as he followed me around. I grabbed a cart, letting Mal sit in the little seat as he gave me little squeaks, as I couldn't help but giggle and give him a kiss on the head.
"Why are you so much nicer than your creator?" I asked him rubbing his head. "Speaking which, I need to know where he is too see if he is willing to train me.. " I said softly, putting in the foods that I would need and like, some more cloths, and lots of wood planks and other things to expand my house.
After many trips to and from the story, I piled all the stuff I need down on the ground. I studied my house for a bit, wondering what I was going to make. I sat for hours infront of my house, Mal going all over the place around the yard, but ended up falling asleep on my lap, head resting on my chest.
Final I knew what I was going to do.
Off the right side of the house I was going to expand my bedroom and the living room, and hopefully make part of the living room and maybe try to make a kitchen. I knew it was going to be hard work, but I can show the people that I'm great, I could do it without my magic or anything! Sitting up, with a little complain from Mal, I took the boards as I started to line them in place, and started to make the base of the new part of the house.
Next thing I knew, it was close to the time to go to my match. Changing quickly and locking up the house with Mal inside, I quickly rush to the battle arena as I got onto my platform, ready to rise up with my team in the waiting room.
The rest of my teammates weren't there, so I looked over at the time board to see if who was on the enemy team, Vladimir, Kassadim, Kog' Maw, Rengar, and Olaf. Well I'm screwed I thought. I wouldn't be able to battle Vladimir and Olaf at all, and Rengar would give me a problem.
So again, I'm screwed. I glanced behind me seeing the rest of my team to come up, as LeBlanc, Rumble, Vi and of all people, Malzahar rose up.
Yup, screwed. Everyone gathered around me, as they started to talk about who goes what lanes and everything, Malzahar and I were quite though. Vi glanced between the two of us, a smirk on her face.
"Hey new girl should go up with Malzahar, maybe learn a thing or two from him" she said to the group, as Malzahar and I glared at her. But everyone seem to like that idea. Once the lanes were settled, LeBlanc walked over to me, a small smile on her face.
"New girl, I haven't heard you're name yet, why is that?" She said, brushing her hair back and holding her staff next to her.
"I don't have a name" I told her, looking down, "my clan didn't bother"
"Aw you poor thing! They just called you ruler of darkness?"
'No I was called bitch and monster" I sighed softly, looking up at her, nodding my head.
Hugging me tightly, she said. "We'll how bout darkie! That works for you, it has a cute part to it but also has something about you in it!" Looking over at her, I smiled.
"I like it" I said, but would of said more but the alarm rang out, telling us to get in our spot, and get ready to battle. I stood on my platform, ready to be brought into the battle area.
Once taken to our base, I quickly grab a good pair of boots and potions, and ran off to top lane, staying close to the turret while waiting for Malzahar and the minions. A strong heavy smell came to me as I scrunched up my nose, glancing out of the field.
Fuck me.
Vladimir was in sight, blood dripping from it. Covering my mouth and nose, I took a few steps back, stumbling over the minions. I turned around to see Malzahar coming, as I rushed over to him.
"I can't" I told him, gagging. "I can't fight him"
"Yes you can" he said, grabbing my arm and pulling me back towards the enemies. I let out a low whimper, already hating this match.
