After an hour of searching, (which means they were already in the middle of the deadline), they found the hidden passage. It was deep inside a dark cave, they couldn't see a thing, but there was something like a hole in the wall, a gold aura was glowing around it.

"Fanie!" Anastasia shouted to her, "Could that be it?" she showed her the passage.

"It could.." she responded, skeptical. She didn't really know a lot about this stuff, but, if the others were clueless too...

"We've got less than one hour, so let's hope it's that one. Zac, go tell the others we're off. Go back and we'll see you there in a few minutes." Anastasia said.

"Okay" Zac simply responded, "be careful."

"I won't let you go alone there!" Taylor L. protested. "What if it's not the one we're looking for?"

"I need you to stay here" Anastasia placed her hand on his cheek, trying to reassure him she'd be fine without him. "In case he appears again. If we're both gone, he'll assume we run off and left everyone behind."

"But.. last time I left you alone, it wasn't a good idea.." he said, still not wanting to leave her on her own.

"Please, darling. Just this time. I'll be fine on my own. And I promise you, we'll be back with help." she said, and kissed him before she and Fanie left.


On the other side of the portal, the girls found themselves in the Twisted Treeline. They had been there before.

"I can't believe we're actually lucky enough to be here!" Fanie said, with renewed hope. "In a place we know, of all the places this could have taken us!"

"Let's hope he's here too" Anastasia said.

Fanie looked at her, puzzled. "Who are you looking for, really?" she asked.

"Warwick." said Anastasia, as if it was the most obvious thing on earth. "He can bring all the wolves that live in this forest, to help us."

"Is there a particular reason you're looking for this specific champion?" Fanie questioned, even though she already knew the answer.

Anastasia fell silent. Then they saw a wolf passing by, in front of them.

"Hey, you could help us" Anastasia said. "We're looking for Warwick. Can you please take us to him? We're friends and we need your help."

He gestured at them as if to follow him and then he ran. The girls ran too and then they found a pack of wolves and Warwick with them.

"You know you have to come with us.. don't make us fight, we don't want to." Warwick was saying to the wolves, till he noticed the girls. Well, well, look we have here.. the wolf girl and the dull summoner...

"Anastasia, Fanie! What are you girls doing here?" he asked, surprised.

"We need your help. We need you united. Please!" Anastasia said. "We don't have time to explain but you have to come with us. We're about to fight against Malzahar and we can't do it without you, Warwick, and the wolves."

"Fight Malzahar? Why?" he asked, confused. Malzahar had never been the bad guy, as far as he knew.

"If you don't help us, he'll kill all of us and get what he wants." the dull summoner spoke. "And that is.." she tried to look away, because she didn't like what she was about to say, "a son from Anastasia."

"What?" he asked, more confused than before. "Did he.."

"No" Anastasia quickly assured him, "but if you don't help us, I won't have much of a choice. He'll sure kill me after I deliever. So, please! You all have to help us."

Warwick looked at the wolf pack and they all nodded that they agree. "We're in. I won't let him touch you, I promise." he said.

"Thanks" Anastasia said, smiling.

"I guess you were right to seek him out after all" Fanie said, lowering her voice for only Anastasia to hear, but Warwick already heard what she said.

"You came for me?" he asked.

"I knew you'd help me save everyone" Anastasia responded. Not because I still have feelings for you..

"There's not a minute to spare! Let's run!" Fanie said.

"Come here, Anastasia" he said, placing her on his back. "You, buddy" he said at another wolf, "take Fanie. It will be faster that way."

They were in Twisted Treeline's jungle, running back to Warwick's base, (he was on the blue team, so they went to the left) till they found Ezreal. I forgot I had teammates, they're so annoying when they don't want to cooperate, he thought to himself.

"Hey, Warwick!" the Prodigal Explorer said, confused. "Why are the wolves following you? And who are these girls?"

"Listen, Ezreal, I know we're in the middle of a game right now, but these girls are in serious danger and I have to save them." Warwick said.

"So, you'll leave the battle?" Ezreal asked, frustrated. "Dude, that's not cool..."

"I have to."

"Can I ask you something?" Fanie said. What does she want again..."Who else is on your team? And who's on the other team, as well?"

Warwick smirked. "Your beloved hemomancer is in our team. Though you seem to have forgotten him.. today you're lucky. You get to see him in action. He's in top lane, by the way, against Vayne."

Fanie was really surprised by this. She didn't expect Vladimir to be on their team... she just asked out of curiosity. She felt her heart beat faster as she remembered the moments they had shared. How could I forget him?

"Thanks for the information" she said, and started to walk rapidly. "See you later!"

And she headed to top lane...
