The Second one applies a poison that takes a percent of the targets health each second.

R: Crimson Mist
The Crimson Assassin shrouds the whole map in a thick red mist. Enemy champions line of sight reduces and the Assassin is able to dash to a nearby enemy dealing high damage.
He was nearly five hours in that hellhole, sorting out details about his champions profile, to buff or nerf him, his lore, where was he supposed to stay and countless other small details.
There where various wings in the Institute of War, each of them housing champions rooms and decorated with things specific to the region. As far as he counted there where twelve wings, the wing of Noxus, Demacia, Freljord, Shurima, Ionia, The Shadow Isles, Piltower, Zaun, Brandle Ciry, Mount Targon, Bilgewater, and Neutral.
He was allocated a room in the neutral section, one he hasn't still seen due to a certain councilor.
He was about to enter the maze of hallways in hopes to find his room as he heard a female voice in his head.
"Champion Thero'gar you are to be summoned in the Summoners Riftin two minutes, we apologize for the short notice. The voice finished in an echo.
This was slowly starting to get irritating. He was assured during his five hour torture session that the institute was better than the most luxure hotels in any realm he has visited.
A blue circle appeared around him. It hummed as it got smaller and smaller.
In a blink of an eye he appeared in a round chamber that appeared to be doorless. It was still richly decorated with gold and some sort of bright blue crystal that appeared to be in the whole institute.
He noticed that other people where with him in the same room, well most of them where people. In front of him stood three champions like him. A hulking mass of stone that appeared to only scratch its head from time to time. He wondered if it was even intelligent.
The atmosphere in the round chamber was quite intense, but he didn't know why. He then noticed two men staring at each other across the room. One had long green robes reinforced with gold plate. He had a walking stick in his right hand and what appeared to be a three-eyed raven on one of his shoulder guards. Although he had a scarf over half of his face he could still tell how much hostility he was felling towards the other man.
The other man wore a full golden armor. Not an inch of his armor wasn't decorated with jewels or carvings. He had an golden crowned helmet on his head with a single jewel on his forehead. His guess was that he was royalty.
And behind him was a hooded girl with white hair. He had a bow that looked like it was made purely of ice, although she was holding it with half gloves. She had white hair that framed her face.
And soon he found himself standing on top of a platform surrounded by his teammates. Below was some sort of structure with a purple floating crystal. And farther appeared to be a forest what was the field.
"Umm…. hi? " Said a shivering voice in his head.
"I have been told the protocol, you are I assume my summoner?" Thero'gar asid trough the mental communication line.
"Y…ea, I…I am summoner Nicholas, this is my first g…game " He said still shivering.
"What to do summoner ?" Thero'gar asked.
"Umm I got you the starter items you need. I…. I mean go down the central lane." The crimson man wasted no time in obeying the summoner.
The journey to the river that cut the forest was relatively short, although he felt a bit weak.
"Must be exhausted from not sleeping two days." He thought for himself.
He stood in front of a stone guardian statue. Until on the far end of the road he saw his opponent.
A girl that wore an green outfit, well it could hardly be called an outfit, more a few green straps.
"Oh what an unpleasant surprise, you are that nurse form few days ago." He stated as he drawed his katana.
"And you are that ungrateful prick we saved" She said.
"It appears you are quite fond of revealing outfits hah." The Crimson man said as he began advancing with his minions.
If not for her half mask on her face the raging blush underneath would have been even more visible. She advanced with her minion wave as the mindless little critters clashed each other.
"S…so you give the kill….killing blow on a minion and you g…get gold and I buy you stuff" The summoner in his head said.
Thero'gar took a swing with his katana on a nearby minion expecting it to die instantly.
"What the?" He said as he tried swinging his sword again.
"Oh and yea you have been… been" The shivering summoner tried to say.
"Been what summoner? " The crimson man asked.
"Been…."
"Hmm? "
"Nerfed, weakened " The summoner said as he expected an outburst of rage from his champion.
"As expected…" The Crimson Assassin thought to himself.
He continued attacking the enemy minions while his opponent was nowhere to be seen.
A bright blue light shone on the assassin as he gained another level.
"You…. you get pieces of your p…power back as you fight, b…but you wont be strong here as you are outside the r…rift." The summoner said.
The Crimson Assassin felt the familiar weight of his three daggers on the back of his belt. Behemoth was the biggest and strongest one of the three, made out pieces of dragon jaw with a basilisk tooth blade. Venomfang was his second blade. A simple curved blade with brown leather straps on its handle. A bloody dragon engraved at the middle of its blade. And the third one was named Cravus, made of Drakurian steel and was simple in desing. On the edges of the blade where runes that glowed in a dim red light, the only part of the dagger that was sharp was the tip.
As his minion wave advanced further, and further he got near the tower. The tower fired a burst of concentrated arcane magic that did quite some damage.
He took swings at the tower with his sword as it slowly began to collapse, piece by piece.
The tower finally collapsed as the explosion sent tiny pebbles on every direction. The dust still didn't quite settle down as he noticed another cloud of dust, but this one was different.
In a blink of an eye a certain green kunoichi emerged from the shroud. She launched a flying kick aimed at his face as he raised his hands to block the assault.
He managed as she jumped off him sending the assassin stumbling backwards. She didn't give him any time to get up as she threw one of her kama's that hit the crimson assassin in his right shoulder.
Thero'gar threw one of his daggers, Carvus, at her which she deflected using her own weapon.
She approached slowly with a triumphant look in her eyes, she intended to enjoy this moment as much as she could.
"You arrogant prick, you think you are the best don't you?" She asked as she raised her weapon high above her head in order to strike him down.
"You overestimate yourself…" Thero'gar said as he made a hand seal instantly vanishing in front of her and reappearing where Carvus lay.
"WHY YOU!" She said anger in her voice as she launched another flying kick at him.
He vanished using another hand seal letting her hit a tree that was standing behind him, from the sheer force of the kick it cracked.
"This is just to easy…" He said as he used one of his shorter swords from his back to stab the female ninja in the kidney, his sword emerged bloody.
She could only cry in pain as she fell to the ground. He used her long pony tail to wipe her blood of his sword as he returned it to its place on his back.
She started crawling slowly to her second tower in the middle lane.
"You think you can escape me?" The crimson man asked.
"Rin Pyo Tou Sha Kai Jin Reitsu Zai Zen" He said as he made hand seals, his last word sounded somehow twisted his voice turning to a contra-bass.
The female ninja found herself surrounded by a thick coat of red mist. It smelled like blood, it was hard to breathe, hard to see just dead cold silence.
And then she turned around to see two orbs of pure hate gleaming at her.
"Dieee" Was the last thing that she heard, the dead silence was broken by a scream of pain.
And then The Crimson Assassin found himself standing over the corpse of the female ninja, his three swords imbedded deep in her body.
"Wow…" The summoner said as Thero'gar picked up his swords putting them in the respectful place. The summoners voice lost its frightened sound as it turned into pure amazement.
"Uhh Thero, my teammates are asking for your assistance at the bottom lane near the enemy inhibitor." The summner said as he guided him trough the thick forest they called the jungle.
As he finally emerged from an overgrown pathway he saw the golden armored man in jumping, lance pointed down, on an enemy champion. He couldent see who it was, the only thing he could see was vivid red.
The ground trembled as the earth rose around the fighters making an arena. The wall of stone didn't hold him back as he used his Blink technique to enter the improvised arena.
In front of him was a girl, young vivid red hair falling freely up to her waist. She wore tight letter pants accompanied with spiked boots. On top of that she wore a letter jacket that uncovered her stomach area. She had fiery green eyes and a scar that ran across one of them.
He joined the golden armored man as they advanced together at her. As they came closer she threw a dagger at the golden man, the dagger didn't get to hit her mark as she used a technique similar to his blink and reappeared behind him.
In a flash of black and red the golden man lay dead on the ground, a curved dagger sticking out of his throat.
"Oh you are the new one?" She asked as she kept a toxic smile.
The crimson assassin didn't pay attention to her ramblings and instead charged her. They locked blades and could feel the warmth of each others bodies.
Thero'gar made the first move as he aimed a knee at her stomach but she steped back avoiding it. The assault was continued as he aimed a high roundhouse kick at her head. She used her teleportation ability as he could hear her behind him.
The red head assassin started spinning an throwing small blades at the crimson assassin, he didn't have time to turn until six of them found their target on his back.
He fell on one knee as he felt vibrations on the ground that slowly became stronger and stronger. As he raised his head he saw that big chunk of rock with hands and feet charge at high speed towards them.
He reacted just in time and rolled over to avoid the powerful impact, the read head on the other hand was sent flying back.
"You ok?" The mass of stone asked.
"I don't fall from just a few blades" The crimson assassin said as he tried to remove to small blades stuck in his back, usually his armor would deflect them easily but not this time, he was weak.
"Ok." The hulking creature answered back turning around to continue its advance.
The crimson assassin followed closely by as they walked on the blood stained sand.
As he and the rest of their team regrouped in front of the enemy nexus that now had only one turret guarding it.
As all champions in the mach met they all engaged in one large teamfight. Instantly he engaged at the closest enemy he could find, it was a little girl, no older than eight. He didn't care he killed children before, their blood runs the same as of any other man, or woman.
That is until she threw her teedy bear at him, at first he thought it was some form of weak attack, until that is, it turned to a fiery giant, it was a shadow bear. He wondered how did a little girl get a shadow bear but he instantly looked beneath him only to find that the ground turned dark and wicked talons emerged from it to grip its enemies. He jumped in order to avoid them until he realized it was a friendly spell.
The familiar read head assassin started spinning again in order to unleash hell upon him and his teammates,hesaw in the corner of his eye something shining. It was a giant arrow made of ice the size of a tree. As it hit the enemy team it dispersed into tiny sparkles and a blue mmist. And from the mist came crashing down the golden armored man creating an stone arena.
Now they all stood in a bloody mess of limbs and guts.
After these attacks, only one enemy remained in a half sitting position leaning at the remaining tower. A small fuzzy creature with a green hat and what appeared to be a small blowdart.
"Y…." The creature stopped speaking to cough up some blood. "You can't do anything while I'm under this tower, so you…" The creature didn't get to finish his sentence as Behemoth, the biggest of Thero'gars daggers, found its way between the creatures eyes effectively splitting its head in two.
"AFTER ME COMRADES!" Shouted the golden plated man said as he charged on the last tower enduring its beam of energy that slowly started eating up on his armor.
The tower was reduced to rubble in mere seconds followed up by the nexus.
Time seemed to stop as they where warped back in the same round doorless chamber.
They all sat down in order to rest from the fight expect the golden man. He choose to walk to Thero'gar and sat next to him.
"I am Jarvan the Forth Lightshield of Demacia, you are Thero'gar the new champion?" The golden man asked with a tone that demanded obedience.
"Correct." Thero'gar said as he cracked his neck and checked if the battles on the rift left any real damage.
"You show quite some promise, I am of the Demacian faction, you as one of the neutral faction can join us if y…" He was cut short as he was interrupted by the older man in long dark green robes.
"Bah, do not listen to him! If you want real power join Noxus not these Demacian weaklings!" He said as he put a hand on his shoulder, his three eyed raven giving an approving nod.
"Hey back off Swain I call dibs on this guy!" Jarvan IV said as he turned to the older man pushing him.
"You imbecile you can't call…dibs on him!" Swain replied angrily.
"Yes I can!"
"You see my friend he is immature and weak, in Noxus we don't tollera…" He was interrupted as a familiar blue light appeard beneath them to move them to where they were before they ended in the round chamber.
"Finally…"
"Champion Thero'gar, you have a rift battle in four seconds" A voice said in his head.
"What the…." But circles already moved him to the round chamber.
One hour later….
"This is getting on my nerves…" He thought to himself as he slowly dragged himself to where his room was supposed to be.
"T-gar yo dude we are like, rift and all that!" A voice of an annoying teenager echoed in his mind.
"WHAT BLACK MAGIC IS THIS?!" But his shouting didn't change the fact that he was being moved to the torture chamber.
Later, as all the maches for the day ended he was trying to stand. The last mach was a disaster, he wasn't able to keep focus.
"I can't remember the way to my room, if I ever knew that is. I cant move, I would give my armor for a bed right now. Ugh… the floor will have to do." And with those final words he closed his heavy eyes and went on a deserved nap.
