Hello guys, author back!
Happy April Fools of 2015. (No I won't fool you guys with anything).
I filled up some plot holes with the last chapter, the action will come soon enough.
Be patient!
And please leave reviews! Writing is never perfect and feedback would be appreciated.
Ezreal sat on a rock outside of the Demacian palace.
He would have to find a way to stop her, but what?
And where was Yasuo in all this? He promised he would help Ezreal!
Seeing the other Ezreal arriving to the Demacian palace, Ezreal followed him, careful not to be caught. Lux had asked the past Ezreal to come back, which is indeed what he is doing.
Following the past Ezreal to Lux's room, Ezreal listened to what would be said.
Knock! Knock!
"Yes? I'm coming!" came Lux's voice.
Squeak! *Door opens*
"Oh, um, hey Ezreal!"
"Well, erm, Lux, you see, I heard that there's a war between Noxus and Demacia tomorrow..."
"Yeah, I'm part of the front line."
Ezreal shifted in his hiding spot. He said the same exact words 5 years ago. And Lux responded with the same exact dialog that he had received. Lux couldn't react the way she did unless... It couldn't be... 5 years before, there was another Ezreal 5 years into the future? That came and tried to save Lux?
It didn't work though, Lux had still died the next day.
Would he fail too?
The future's inevitable, even with Yasuo's help. The future Ezreal also had Yasuo's help, most likely. But... he figured out about the future Ezreal, so wouldn't that change the future? No... the future Ezreal most likely also found out about the Ezreal that was farther in the future... How can he save Lux then? He had to do something different from the previous Ezreals...
"Lux, please be careful."
"I know what I'm doing Ezreal, don't worry. This won't be the last time you'll see me." Lux giggled.
Ezreal's heart pinched itself.
Those were the last words he heard... before... before...
"Well... if you're that sure about it, I'll be off then," Ezreal said, leaving.
Ezreal sank down, sitting in his hiding spot. How did Lux die? He just had to stop that from happening, and that would solve this problem...
Trying to remember...
"Ezreal, I know you're there. Come out. No point in being stealthy around me."
Stealthy? Of course! Assassination. That's how she got killed. It was during the night, before the battle even started, Lux had been assassinated. Ezreal smiled, cheering himself for remembering.
"Ezreal!"
Oh... no...
Ezreal walked out of his hiding spot, with his hands up to show his surrender.
Lux sighed, clearly tired.
"Tell me why you're so... hard to trust," Lux said, going into her room and laying down on her bed, arms covering her face.
Ezreal followed into her room, thinking.
He'll tell Yasuo to scout around the palace during the night. Ezreal would be guarding Lux's room in the meantime.
"Hey! Are you even listening?" Lux asked, a little louder than before.
Ezreal frowned. "Sorry Lux, I'm a little tired."
"Of course you are," she pouted.
"You always are..." she said quietly.
"It makes you so hard to understand..." she said even quieter, almost a whisper.
Then, her breathing pattern became irregular.
"Lux?"
Ezreal stepped closer to make sure she was okay. He couldn't tell from his angle, her arms were blocking her face. Should he remove her arms from her face? Her breathing was becoming rigid. Deciding quickly, Ezreal dragged her hands away from her face to the sides of her face and held them there.
Her eyes were red, and there were tears all around her face.
It's so painful, to stare at Lux when she's crying...
Ezreal stood still, unsure what to do. How would he make her feel better?
Their eyes were interlocked.
"Lux..." Ezreal murmured.
"Ezreal... I really don't know anymore, everything's become so complicated after you tried to explain what happened. I really don't -"
She was interrupted with her lips connecting with his.
Everything went blank.
Ezreal pulled back after the kiss, blushing extremely hard.
"Lux, I just don't want you to die. I remember that you were assassinated. It will happen this night. I'll put Yasuo on guard around this section of the palace to scout, and I will stay by your side to make sure nothing happens to you..."
"S-so I don't have to leave the war?"
"You won't have to," Ezreal confirmed.
More tears streamed down her eyes. "You went through a lot of thinking haven't you? Trying to fit an agreement between both of our terms... I-it's why you're tired, isn't it?"
Ezreal leaned in for another kiss. Everything was okay... for now.
"Hey Ezreal, am I interrupting something?" a voice rang out.
Ezreal immediately jerked his head back to see who was at the door.
Yasuo, that brat...
"I'm going to kill you, Yasuo."
"Oh? I would like to see you try," the fighter said, with a smirk on his face.
