The Crimson Assassin: Chapter Two

Authors notes:

I got 35 views of my 1st chapter XD. Well even if im not getting any support I will still finish this story!

Thero'gar still had two days until this so called Judgment. He used them to train in his modest room. He had time to think, to think of what happened before his appearance in Runeterra.

He would not think about it. Its time he got out of this mess.

He opted to walk since he wasn't fond of portals anymore. He had to walk trough the Institute gardens, more a forest than a garden. It had cobblestone walkways lit up by blue crystal lanterns. The rest of the Institute, minus the one he destroyed, was to put it in one word, magnificent.

All of the buildings where made of a purplish concrete with golden decorations depicting an ancient battle or event. He wondered how all those arches and columns could support all that weight, probably by the use of magic. Come to think of it the whole place was infused with magic, from the concrete to the flow of the water.

But the only thing that amazed him more that the institute, was the lack of people in it. He was told that the Institute housed all sorts of creatures and warriors from Runeterra and even other relams. So far he didn't see anyone.

He arrived at a tower, more massive than the one he leveled. Just above the massive gilded wooden door was a sing that read "The greatest enemy lies within"

The massive doors opened letting him in.

He found himself standing in a wide, long and dark hallway. He felt like he wasn't alone, like he was being watched, observed. He didn't like the feeling so he stayed on the sides in the shadows.

He didn't really remember opening the door at the end of the hallway but he found himself in total darkness.

But in the blink of an eye he found himself in the same throne room, from where he was thrown in the portal.

Was this a dream? No this was reality. He thought of the whole scenario thousands of times over and over thinking what did he do wrong.

They have already taken the whole castle except the throne room….

The Void Creatures…

What remained of the force defending the King and the throne room where exhausted, tired from countless of hours battling the void monsters. It didn't matter how much he cut down they just kept on coming and coming until, eventually, taking the whole castle.

The knights wore heavy metal armor pieces with Corinthian styled helmets. They where ragged.

The King was sitting on his throne head in hands, he looked depressed. In all time Thero'gar served as the kings assassin and bodyguard he never saw him like that.

Was he the only one calm in the whole room?

Bash! Bash! Bash!

The heavy iron door wouldn't hold out much longer.

Thero'gar was still standing at the king's side when Roash, the castle archmage, approached him.

He was dressed in a white long sleeved robe with a hood to cover his face. From the blackness where his face should have been where two blue glowing orbs. His experiments mutilated his body.

"Don't worry I have an ingenious plan, you just have to buy me more t…"

With a final sound of bending metal the doors came down. The king stood up, facing before an army of monstrosities never seen before.

"As long as my heart beats I will never give up to this evil that plagues our land, and I will fight that evil with my dying breath" Said the king as he lifted his greatsword and started the charge.

"WHO ARE WE?" Asked the king as the men started following close behind.

"WE ARE CHAMPIONS!" There was that loud roar as the men followed their king into their grave.

The two forces clashed each other as blood started to flow, mostly human. The void monsters had a hide that was hard to cut trough.

The screams almost made him shiver, almost.

"Now is the time to make changes" Thought Thero'gar as he rushed to the mage just in time to deflect a spike that was aimed for his head.

The mage looked surprised for a moment.

"CAST THE SPELL!"The crimson man shouted as stood in a defensive stance in front of him .

"Oh yes…the spell, aneskorum nikotorum estea rodon mi fanas!" He began chanting as magic started to flow out of his fingertips.

"The portal now just in time to pull the king to safety" Thero'gar thought as he rushed to the king just in time to cleave in half a void creature resembling a lion that aimed to pounce at him.

He continued defending the kings back but eventually the only warriors left in the throne room where the king, Asagir the captain of the royal guard, and himself.

"My lord, we need to exit trough the portal to safety…" The crimson man said.

But as he turned he found that the only thing that was left of his king was his arm and half of his torso lying in a pool of blood.

Thero'gar fell to his knees. Was there noting he could do? Why couldent he change anything? He failed, again.

Protect the king.

Protect the king…

Protect the king…

He wasn't capable of doing even the simplest of tasks.

In front of him now stood his mentor, he never knew his age nor his name, only those glowing red eyes under the hood.

If there was anything he was afraid of it was him, his disapproval. When he was younger the only thing he wanted was to impress his teacher, he never managed to do that. But at the last mission he was supposed to complete to become a full fledged assassin his mentor suddenly disappeared.

Now there was this "thing" In front of him, watching him, mocking him.

He had failed again, not that that was a surprise.

But what came next certainly was.

"Why do you wish to join the League?" His mentor asked him.

"What?" Thero'gar said in disbelief in his eyes.

"Why do you wish to join the League? " His mentor repeated.

"I do not want to join the League, I am forced so" He said sarcastically.

"How does it feel to expose your mind" The elder assassin asked him as he bagan to fade from his sight.

"Rather disturbing"

"Welcome to the League, Crimson Assassin! " And with that he disappeared in a cloud of gray smoke.

Thero'gar found himself within a round undecorated chamber with a wooden door that was presumably an exit.

"Let's get this over with" The Crimson Assassin said in a determined tone.

But when he opened the door, much to his surprise, he was standing on top of a wide staircase in what seemed to be a meeting hall filled with summoners and the missing champions alike cheering.

"So this is where they where? " He thought.

A summoner came from behind him, a female with bright red robes.

"Greetings Championi am High Councillor Vessaria Kolminye, I would like to congratulate you for passing the judgment and becoming a new champion of the League of Legends" The older woman said as she put a hand on his back and led him downstairs.

As everyone cheered for him he thought his head was going to explode. He didn't like the crowd, the spotlight.

As they entered the gap in the crowd that led to a exit he noticed all sorts of weird creatures. A giant dog in golden armor, a assassin who had a shadow darker than those of the rest, and a girl that had, if he counted right, nine tail.

"We need to go to my office to discuss matters" The High Councillor said as she guided him to what seemed a maze of beautifully decorated hallways and passages.

Once they where there he took a seat at the office that was small and cozy, overloaded with towers of books, papers and reports.

"Well as you may have heard you got a title which is: The Crimson Assassin" She said a smile still present on her old face.

"Rather creative…" She didn't pay any attention to his sarcasticall remark.

"We need to get you a new skin too! " She said as she was looking at some papers at her desk.

"I don't prefer leather arm…." He was interrupted as she said "No I mean a new armor look"

"Is there a problem with my current armor? " He asked eyeing her.

"Every champion needs some freshness, I got some sketches here so you can decide if you like any of them."

"I do…"

"Come to think of it we don't need your opinion." She said as she took a envelope from the top of one of the towers of books.

"This isn't going to be quick is it? "
