Tai rolled over falling out of bed. He opened his eyes adjusting to lighting of his bedroom. He let out a slight moan and then yawned as he curled up on the floor. No one will summon me today so that means it's just another day...may as well get some extra shut eye...Tai yawned once more ignoring the shadow towering over him. Tai felt around looking for the source of the shadow as he did he mumbled a few words under his breath.
"Rise and shine sleepy head it's time for our walk in the forest," Ahri said as her sweet scent entered Tai's airways. "Come on wake up sleepy head!" Ahri yelled loud enough to wake Tai.
"Sorry Ahri but you kept me up late last night..."Tai rolled over now facing the direction with a clear view of under his bed. He breathed in a sigh of relief. Tai felt at ease due to his longer resting time.
"And I plan to do so again tonight...now wake up newbie's pick," Ahri teased while softly kicking Tai in the back. Tai let out a soft yelp in which made Ahri feel bad. "Come on Tai it's boring without you," Ahri whined as she began to flick her tails against Tai's face. Tai twitched his nose and then stood up sitting on the edge of his bed burying his head in his hands.
"I need to have a shower but if you make me breakfast by the time I get out...I shall consider going for that walk," Tai grinned walking off towards the bathroom.
Tai let the warm water sprinkle on his tanned skin. Tai looked at his arm feeling a slight pain on his elbow. Tai looked closely to find a fresh wound. Tai assumed that it came from his sparring session yesterday with Nasus, he probably didn't realise thanks to the adrenaline pumping through his body. The shower was a place most people did their thinking but Tai used the shower to either decide or think about life. Tai let a few flashes of Caitlyn run through his head although all he could think of was helping Jayce with Caitlyn. The youngster did develop a crush on the officer. A quick glimpse of Ahri appeared in his head. Tai thought about last night and their slow developing relationship. Suddenly he had a split second thought of Ahri bringing her hands down her bare body. Tai realised he was done in the shower after having such a thought. Tai barged out of the shower and began to dry his damp body with a white towel.
Tai wiped his face until it was dry then proceed to dry his hair. After getting his hair dry enough he dried his body with dampened towel. Tai used his cream to mould his hair into its usual faux hawk style. Tai walked over to the corner where he had dropped his new clothes although he found his dirty clothes. Tai thought back to when he was in the shower and remembered the door slowly creaking open when he turned away from it. Ahri must have stolen my clothes, Tai let his furrowed expression turn into a narrowed game face.
Tai opened the door peeping into the barely lit room. Tai slowly walked out turning the corner into his main room. Tai kept his hands on the towel wrapped around his waist. Tai looked at the table to find not only his clothes but his breakfast. The bowl of soup looked delicious especially with the steam radiating from it. Tai walked over slowly looking left, right and behind him for any signs of Ahri. Tai grabbed his socks and pulled up onto his feet, and then he grabbed his underwear and pulled it up to cover his manhood. Ahri walked out of hiding clapping her hands while giggling. Tai turned around quickly putting on his undershirt. Ahri pulled out a chair and pushed Tai down onto it. Tai went to object but Ahri pressed her finger against his lips hushing him. Tai watched as Ahri pulled the bowl of soup closer to Tai. Right before Tai could speak Ahri handed him a silver spoon. She then grabbed Tai's close.
"Just eat and let me dress you," Ahri seductively spoke. Tai sat still and then smiled.
"Ahri I can do it, you just relax" Tai said pulling himself halfway up off his chair before Ahri stopped him. Tai sat back down smiling at the new Ahri. She had learnt to control her lust even though the urges were there.
"Don't you trust me?" Ahri asked using her perfectly long nails that looked fake, to scratch Tai's back. Tai almost moaned from the amazing sensation he was feeling on his backside. Tai took a spoonful of soup and sipped it off the shiny silver utensil.
"Ahri I trust you. But you haven't rested lately," Tai softly spoke which made Ahri grab Tai's beige pants. She crawled underneath the table and tried to keep her tails low enough so she didn't knock the table over. "At least let me make it easier for you," Tai lifted his legs to help Ahri put his pants on. Ahri pulled the pants right up to Tai's waist which made Tai go wary as he didn't want to reveal his growing member.
"Now for my breakfast..."Ahri giggled poking Tai's crotch and then coming up from underneath the table with a grin. Tai's jaw was dropped against the table top and his eyes were wide. "I'll let you put your shoes on...the big guy might get angry at me," Ahri winked moving closer to Tai biting her bottom lip. Ahri grabbed Tai's duster and held it in front of her while Tai finished his soup. Ahri slipt Tai's duster on making sure his arms went all the way through. "It's kinda cold outside. Mind if I warm up like a real kitty?" Ahri kept a neutral expression as she spoke. Tai sighed and then smiled with a nod.
"Alright just don't do anything naughty," Tai said with his mouth on an angle. Ahri bit her bottom lip a single fang exposing. She sat down on Tai's lap and pulled him close to her as she wrapped the loose bits of his duster around her. She wrapped one of her arms around Tai's neck but kept her arm inside his duster. Tai was surprised when her milky skin was actually cold. Tai wrapped his arms around Ahri. "Are you sure you want to go for that walk?" Tai asked feeling her cold breath on his face.
"Yeah I'll be fine I just had the chills today...I know how I could warm up," Ahri grinned slyly as Tai shook his head with narrowed expressions.
"No we are not doing anything that will encourage your lust!" Tai growled taking his duster off and wrapped it around Ahri. "Now I'm going to make you some soup before we go...don't want you getting sick fox girl," Tai smirked as he stood up giving Ahri his seat.
Jayce was still tired after spending all night with Caitlyn. The two had gone to a late night match at the colosseum. The two summoners were amazing skilled and probably diamond tier. Jayce had one image imprinted in his mind, Hecarim getting completely stomped by Ramus. Hecarim had been winning by a landslide until Ramus began to roll around Hecarim until Hecarim was so confused Ramus could counter attack. The summoners really had more control over their champions outside of the fields of justice.
Jayce left his residence and went for a walk down the halls of the Institute of War. Two days with no battles...who would have thought it would be so boring, Jayce looked around thinking he should have come out of his shell and socialised. But that wasn't going to happen because Jayce wanted to read at the library. Jayce was nearly at his destination but he was interrupted by Caitlyn. Jayce was too shy to say anything first encase of screwing up and resulting in embarrassment.
"Hey Jayce!" Caitlyn yelled loud enough for Jayce to hear. She walked by his side trying to remind herself this was just a way of getting back into Tai's heart.
"Oh hi Caitlyn. Did you want to do something?" Jayce asked being as nice as possible. Jayce had trouble talking to girls and that went twice for ones he liked.
"Nah I just want to hang out with you. Doesn't matter what you were doing I'll come," Caitlyn smiled and then winked at the nervous boy. "By the way your friends with Tai right?" Caitlyn questioned innocently.
"Yeah why?" Jayce asked a little shocked by her question.
"Does he talk about me ever when his with you?" Caitlyn asked trying to keep the innocence about her. Luckily Jayce didn't know much about girls so he just thought she was making friendly conversation.
"Well kinda. At first he did but now all he talks about is strategies, getting stronger, sleeping, food...OH! and Ahri," Jayce smiled hoping that answered Caitlyn's question. Caitlyn hid the anger deep inside her.
As the two got closer to the library which was now at the end of the hall, Caitlyn tried to remember that Ahri and Tai were her friends. But jealousy was the dominate emotion at this moment. Caitlyn was jerked back to reality after feeling a finger poke her shoulder. She looked down at the curious Jayce who was holding the door to the library open. Before Jayce could ask what was wrong Caitlyn barged in through the door. "Hello Caitlyn and Jayce," Nasus softly said receiving a wave from Jayce and a small squeal from Caitlyn. Nasus looked at Jayce but only received a shrug.
As Jayce sat down Nasus handed two books to Jayce. Jayce had been reading them two books for the past few days. Jayce read through the book in hopes of finding something interesting. Jayce sighed looking up at Caitlyn Forget this book it isn't even helping...I'll just read the other book about Tai maybe it will have more information, Jayce thought pushing the other book aside to make room for the book about Tai. Jayce looked up to take a quick glance at Caitlyn before continuing from where he had left off yesterday. What's wrong with Caitlyn? I did something wrong didn't I? Stupid Jayce now Caitlyn with never love you, Jayce doubted himself looking back down at his book feeling a small depression take over his body. Jayce tried to ignore the strange feeling in his stomach through reading.
The history of Tai is unknown although when he moved from his homeland to Ionia his history became clear. Tai was a prophecy destined to defeat a great evil. The eternal life essence was to be protected by three of the prophet children. Tai's homeland was not a place on Valoran but rather a dimension from a further away land know as Hades. It was a constant battle of life and death for control of the eternal essence. Tai's parents forced Tai into gaining strength and that was what Tai did. The three prophets where forced into protecting the eternal essence when they were attacked by the demons of the sky. Hades went dark and the three prophet children were frowned upon due to their failure. As Tai protected the essence with his life another prophecy child who was named Eswain had turned killing the third prophet child. Tai tried to protect the essence but had instead gained his magic ring through the essence's power. Eswain began extracting the essence to create the strongest blade he could, however Tai had no other choice other than destroy the essence. As Tai swung the two blades met in the centre of the eternal essence. Tai awoke weeks later and had been left abandoned in the forests of Ionia. As Tai began to live amongst the others the league of legends recruited him. Tai accepted willingly in hopes to gain more power.
Jayce closed the book looking up at Caitlyn once more. Jayce put the story together only to figure out that Tai was betrayed by his friends and possibly his family. Caitlyn stood up and walked around the table placing her hand on Jayce's shoulder. Jayce turned but didn't let his eyes meet hers.
"I'm going to go Jayce," Caitlyn spoke gently massaging Jayce's shoulder. "Do you want to come with me?" Caitlyn asked seductively which made Jayce get nervous.
"I-I guess I can come," Jayce said rising from his chair. Caitlyn smiled and grabbed Jayce by the arm pulling him behind her. Jayce was dumbfounded by what was happening but he didn't mind Caitlyn being so rough. Nasus watched from behind his wooden desk shaking his head.
Tai and Ahri walked through the forest at a slow pace. A rabbit hopped past them and then disappeared into the luscious green forest. Ahri's chills had gone away after her warm soup although what she described to Tai scared him. The thought just lingered in his head and even though he tried to push it aside the thought came straight back. "I awoke this morning to a soft and quiet voice. I thought it was you until it said something about taking the essence I have stolen from men. He then called me a dirty slut...and then he said the league of legends will fall along with Tai," It couldn't be could it? Ahri probably just had a bad dream. It defiantly isn't that crazy void loving psychopath Eswain, the thought made Tai cringe.
Ahri looked at Tai a little worried. She watched as Tai almost collapsed onto the grassy ground. He was clearly troubled and Ahri knew she had to keep acting like a woman to get Tai fawning over her. Tai and Ahri stopped by a rock large enough to sit on. Ahri sat looking at Tai innocently while he looked around the forest. She watched the brown haired boy take note of the surroundings. Ahri felt a little annoyed at Tai for ignoring her.
"Ahri stay here! Don't move. Don't talk just stay," Tai said seriously not even realising he had Ahri's hands in his. Ahri blushed slightly as Tai made sure he got the answer he was looking for.
"Why?" Ahri questioned.
"Just trust me! I promise to explain things later," Tai slightly smiled as Ahri nodded.
Tai ran off into the forest taking a quick look back in Ahri's direction. "I'm sorry," he whispered to himself before running further into the depths of the forest. Tai could sense the eternal essence in the forest but where it was located was beyond his reach. Tai stepped into a foot deep river which instantly made him shiver due to the coldness of the crystal water. Tai felt a need to return to Ahri but what he was doing couldn't be put aside. There was a sudden wind pushing against Tai and all the way back into the direction of Ahri. Within moments Tai could sense the energy in Ahri's direction and to prove that it was there Ahri screamed. Tai began to sprint in the direction of Ahri inhaling and exhaling rapidly. "Ahri!" Tai shouted at first sight of the girl.
Ahri turned to Tai as he screamed her name. Tai turned to look at the essence's location. A giant purple portal glowed as the darker strokes inside swirled around as if to hypnotize. Tai snarled at the sight of Eswain although this wasn't the Eswain he knew. Eswain's skin was no longer pale, instead it was a light purple which matched his violet eyes and hair. His hair was long and spiked up into the air. A purple aura radiated off his skin. His teeth were now sharp and his clothes matched. His armour had spikes everywhere but his chest and stomach. Eswain's blade was what scared Tai as for it was no longer the protector's blade, instead it was the Hades forbidden blade that was commonly known as the soul eater. Tai lunged at the muscular boy only to be shot with a purple beam of energy. Tai fell to the floor limp and unable to move. Tai's ears popped as he realised Ahri was saying something while crouching by his side.
"I hear it hurts when I do that." Eswain laughed taking a step closer smirking at the sight of Ahri holding Tai's limp body in her arms. "Oh Ahri you love this imbecile? You should whore yourself off to me the lord of Runeterra!" Eswain manically laughed licking the tip of his blade. Tai felt Ahri's tears land on his cheek.
"Shut up Eswain!" Tai growled wishing he could move so he could hold Ahri. "...I promise I will kill you. First I'll swing my blade endlessly into your neck until your whole damn head comes off-" before Tai could finish Eswain cut in moving closer.
"Hard to do that when my blades inside you," Eswain chuckled. Tai felt his body hit the ground right after Ahri yelped. Eswain had kicked Ahri in the face and then sat himself on top of the fox. Ahri was now sobbing uncontrollably. Ahri didn't want to go back to being a slut, she didn't want to give her body to anyone but Tai. "They say revenge is a dish best served cold. I believe rape is cold..." Eswain grinned eerily. Ahri didn't know why but her body felt cold. Ahri's body had shutdown it was too scary for the fox to do anything. She didn't want to defend herself. She wanted Tai to do it for her. But Tai wasn't going to be doing anything.
"Please stop..." Ahri stated softly whimpering.
"Get off her!" Tai shouted trying to force the curse off him. If I can't save her no one can. I have to act now, Tai thought looking at his sword that laid just out of reach. Tai's eyes widened as his sword glowed a bright red. It spoke to him.
"Take my power Tai you have earned it," the sword echoed as it spoke. It was like a beautiful muse. Tai could feel his fingers and feet. "Believe in yourself and the power is yours," the sword continued as Tai struggled. Suddenly a purple aura flared up around Tai and disappeared in an instant. Tai grabbed his sword and spun to see Eswain still sitting upon Ahri although doing nothing.
"Die!" Tai yelled at the top of his lungs swinging his blade. Ahri pushed Eswain off her and ran behind Tai for protection.
Eswain left his sword sheathed on his back. The purple boy moved to the side avoiding Tai's swing. Tai through continues magic knives at the corrupt boy, but Eswain dodged effortlessly. Eswain stood smirking as Tai charged his magic ring up. The magic flew from Tai's hand, slicing through the ground. Eswain raised an arm and held the blue magic back. Eswain pushed the ring back leaving Tai in its wake. Tai rolled to the side grabbing Ahri's hand and pulling her aside with him. The ring exploded into a fiery purple mist and then the blue magic floated back into Tai's left hand.
"This really has been fun. But I must go and plan...soon the void shall help me succeed in total world domination. Starting with the league of legends and ending with Hades. Runeterra shall soon witness the new lord...the lord who will be stronger than all yet weaker than his blade," Eswain laughed backing away until he disappeared into his portal. The portal shrunk down leaving only a ripple. As Tai approached it disappeared into the air.
"Are you ok Ahri?" Tai questioned hugging the emotional fox. Her tails hugged the floor. Tai leant far enough back to wipe her tears away. "It's ok he can't hurt you," Tai smiled lacing his fingers through Ahri's hair.
"He tried to-" but Tai cut her off.
"I know. I won't let it happen again," Tai sat the fox down and kneeled before her. "Now my little fox no more leaving you alone. That goes double for your crying," Tai said trying to lighten the mood. Ahri sniffled and wiped her eyes.
Tai picked Ahri up as if she was his bride. Tai began to walk towards the Institute of War. Ahri tried to keep the thoughts out of her head. Eventually she began to fantasize about Tai and that seemed to work for the time being. Upon their arrival they were surprised to be greeted by Lux, Riven and Katarina. Tai laid Ahri on a bench in the courtyard. "I know this might not be the best start to my promise but wait here. I'll deal with the girls and be back," Ahri mouthed the words "promise" and almost instantly got a nod in response. As Tai approached the girls curling their hair he waved hiding his disgust.
Jayce tried to steady himself after going for a jog with Caitlyn. Jayce knew something was wrong and decided it was time to talk with Caitlyn about it. But Caitlyn already had another plan for Jayce and that meant he was going to have to endure more torture, or at least it was for Jayce. Caitlyn had too much adrenaline to slow down. Jayce sighed knowing something was wrong. He thought about it and realised something emotional must have happened for her to be acting this way. Jayce pushed Caitlyn down onto a nearby chair. Jayce began to cower as he noticed the rage in Caitlyn's eyes.
"What's wrong Caitlyn? It isn't like you to be so...aggressive," Jayce nervously spat. Caitlyn looked at him unsure of what to say.
"I just miss Tai," Caitlyn said looking at the floor. Jayce decided now was the time to break free from his cocoon. "It's just my way of dealing with things," Caitlyn continued before Jayce hushed her.
"I understand Caitlyn. Let me help you," Jayce began to speak in an upbeat tone.
"Why would you help me?" Caitlyn asked as Jayce smiled sincerely, reminding Caitlyn of Tai's smile.
"Because I care..." Jayce said extending his arm. Caitlyn smiled looking up.
Eswain sat in the corner of the Institutes library hidden away from eyes. He traced the words with his finger mouthing everything he read. Eswain had already read four books on Hades, Runeterra, Valoran and the void. None spoke of the eternal essence however. Eswain had been hiding in the Institute of War for a week now and he was using it as a way to plan for his world domination. Eswain chuckled silently as he found a page dedicated to the eternal essence.
The essence that shines never dies. However with each type of essence including the eternal essence, the eternal essence will shine brighter leading to the ultimate weapon of good or evil. A war has been raging on Hades ever since the discovery of this magic. Three prophet children were born however only two were born pure. The third had a link to the void and could have been called a voidborn. One of the prophet children was destined to sacrifice themself for the eternal essence and the other was destined for the good of the essence. Tai and Eswain were destined to battle although that day has yet to be seen. They say if the two aren't summoned by a summoner they have a bond with, then the two will never leave the fields of judgment. The king of Hades said if the two should battle outside of the rift the aftermath could be catastrophic.
"And catastrophic it shall be," Eswain laughed quietly while closing the book on his lap. "When Tai learns that I can get stronger the look on his face will be priceless." Eswain stood up turning into a purple mist. He then floated out of the library and into the air. He lurked in the shadows just waiting for a summoner worth bonding with. "And catastrophic it shall be..." Eswain manically laughed as he repeated himself.
