Chapter 3: Gregas Brew

Gren, former member of the Noxian military, and the man who toke Grandmaster Luwin captive in the Third Rune Wars. Hated by Demacia, and many Noxians, he was anti-Demacian during the Rune Wars, but joined the League for unknown reasons.

One thing is known, before Swain came into the picture, he had his sights as leader of Noxus.

Garen toke a chug from his flagon. He finished it on the second chug.

The others finished their flagons right after Garen.

Gregas cheered."Tis' fun to watch this!"

Soon, the second and third flagons were empty. Halfway through the fourth flagon, Sivir began to tilt back and forth.

The people were cheering, excluding Rengar and Kha'zix, who were busy singing some uncomprehendable song through their drunken madness.

Sivir's attention began to wander once she finsihed her flagon.

The fifth came soon after. Garen and Katarina chugged them down so fast that Gregas was impressed.

Teemo began swaying back and fourth after the fifth flagon, almost falling out of his seat.

By the seventh flagon, Teemo fell out of his seat, fast asleep.

"Teemo 'is down!"Gregas announced.

"Yar, soon I will win!"Gangplank yelled.

Sivir laughed."Not i-if I can stop it."

Sivir was swaying back and forth, her tope begining to fall off, but she didn't notice.

Volibear drained his flagon in one gulp, but you could see that he was drunk by the distant glare in his eyes.

Gangplank was also showing signs.

The only people not considered drunk were Garen and Katarina. They still sat strait and strong.

By flagon ten, Lee Sin and Volibear were passed out.

Jax wasn't far behind. The Grandmaster at Arms, who never toke off his mask, drank through the holes in his mask. He swayed back and forth, but sat on his stool, not giving in.

"Seems like they are having fun,"Fiddlestikcs stated.

Nocturn nodded."Let us get down to business."

Zed nodded."I agree."

Brand just grunted.

"We have almost the needed amount of members to be considered an actual team,"Nocturn stated.

"And?"Brand asked."Who do you plan to ask to join?"

"Me,"came the voice of Diana.

"So, you chosse to join?"Zed asked.

Diana just gave him a glare."He offered me the chance to finaly defeat that stuck up Leona."She laughed, thinking about her revenge on the Solari.

Only five people still drank. Garen, Katarina, Gangplank, Jax and Sivir, who was now topless.

Gangplank, to drunk to notice a new flagon, finally fell over, snoring loudly. His flagon fell next to him, and burst apart.

Jax fell a few seconds later, finishing off his last flagon. His mask fell off, and slid across the floor, but he lay face down, not showing his face.

Garen and Katarina still drank. Sivir on the other hand had begun walking to her room, still topless.

"I-I win,"Garen said through his drunk slur.

"Not yet,"Katarina replied, her eyes closing.

Gregas laughed."Such 'ire!"

The twenty-third flagon. The last flagon.

Garen chugged it down, and still sat straight. Katarina toke a sip, and fell asleep.

The room cheered.

Gregas laughed louder."We'ave our winner!"he announced."Garen!"

Garen walked around, barley standing, let alone walk.

He looked off to the side, and saw Talon carrying Katarina off to her room.

Garen felt a weird pang of jealousy, and followed. He walked up.

"Hey buddy,"he said, stopping Talon.

Talon blinked and sighed."This is why I told her not to join in that contest."

Garen didn't even catch what he said."Huh?"

Katarina stirred. She stretched, and made herself more comfortable.

Talon gave a faint smile. He sighed."Let me take Lady Katarina to her room, and i'll get you something to sober you up."

Garen followed Talon to Katarina's room, and walked in with him.

"Sleep tight,"Talon said, once he put Katarina in her bed.

Garen walked to the door with Talon, but looked back to see Katarina staring at him.

"Stay,"Katarina said with a sleepy voice.

Garen blinked, and passed out, sleepy.

Shyvana sighed."I will never be able to sear that information from my head."

Ahri laughed."You asked me all I knew about him."

"I didn't want his physical information!"she yelled.

Ahri laughed again."Can you honestly say you hate the image I put in your head?"

"Yes,"she said without hesitation.

"Why?"Ahri asked.

"Because your in it,"Shyvana replied.

Ahri laughed again.

Ashe sighed as Lux left.

Suddenly, a knock came at her door. Ahse opened the door, to see the shifting form of Xerath.

"Yes?"she asked.

Xerath looked in her room."I need to speak to you,"he said, bluntly.

"Come in,"Ashe said, bowing to the Magus Ascendant.

Xerath floated into the room, and stood in the corner of the rom.

"What do you need to talk about?"she asked.

Xerath made a sighing sound."Tryndamere was attacked on his way back to the Institute."

Luwin looked over the reports of the attack on the Barbarian King.

"Here,"Gren said, laying more files down on the Grandmaster's desk.

"Thanks,"he said, not even loking up.

Gren bowed, and left the room.

"Why attack Tryndamere?"Luwin asked himself.

Swain sighed, looking over the work he had to finish before he went back to Noxus.

"My lord,"came the unmistakable voice of LeBlanc.

She had changed from her robes into a black shirt and black leather pants. Her crown was off, and her staff with it.

"Yes Leblanc?"he asked.

"You know you can laways give up all this tedious paperwork."

"I know, but I don't want too."Swain just went strait to work.

Leblanc sighed."Master never wanted us to get involved in Noxian politics."

"I know,"Swain replied.

"So why not come back to the order Jerico. Master wanted you to replace him."

Swain sighed. He toke off his mask to show his face. He had a small cut over the left side of his mouth. He was also missing one of his top right molers.

"You never give in,"he said, smiling.

Leblanc gave a little laugh."Have I ever?"

"Thats why you stil need to lead the order,"Swain added.

She blinked, and sighed."You never give, do you?"

"Hell no,"Swain laughed.

Garen woke up, rubbing the back of his head.

Something felt weird. He looked down, to see he wasn't wearing his shirt or shoes.

He looked to hs right. Katarina slept sounly next to hm.

The covers were off of her, showing her in her sleeping gown.

When had she been changed? And when was his shirt taken off?

Jarvan finished hs cup. He was the only sober one in the whole room.

As it was, all matches were postponed, since everyone, excluding people like Ashe and Lux, had gotten drunk the night before.

Jarvan laughd as Jax finally came to. As it was, he was the only person in the entire instiute who never suffers from a hangover. Jarvan felt annoyed by that.

"Want a drink?"jarvan asked.

"If you have an extra cup,"Jax said, taking a seat."Didn't pass out?"he asked.

Jarvan shoke his head."Woke up about an hour ago."

"What is that?"Jax asked, taking a cup of it.

Jarvan laughed."Firefly Brew,"he replied.

Jax toke a sip, and spit it out."Whats in it?!"e demanded.

"Its boiled Demacian firefly root, spiced with salt. Tastes horrid, but gets rid of hangovers in an instant."

"How can you stand it?"he asked.

"After a night of drinking, it can taste better than when you're completely sober."

Jax rubbed his tongue clean."I guess i'll never know."

Jarvan laughed."Well, I drink it every morning after a night of drinking. I have to actually."

"Mind if i have a cup?"Teemo asked, rubbing his head.

"Here,"Jax said, handing him his cup.

Teemo chugged and swallowed it. He suddeny gagged, and felt better."Good or bad, its worth it,"he stated, handing Jax his cup.

Katarina opened her eyes, to see Garen laying next to her.

She looked down, and saw she was wearing her red night-gown. Had Garen hcnaged her?

She blushed a bright red.

Garen opened his eyes, and saw Katarina had woken up."Finally awake?"

She nodded."Why are you in my bed?"she asked.

"I don't know. Last think I remember is passing out on your floor."

Katarina sighed."Okay, lets leave that question for another day."She waited for a moment."Could you please get out of my bed?"she asked, blushing.

Garen burned red, and got out of the bed.

Katarina had changed into her usual clothes. She dumped her head in ice water to help get rid of her hangover.

Once she was done, she meet up with Garen, who was waiting outside the door.

"Did you have to wait?"she asked.

Garen shrugged."I have nothing else to do?"

Katarina stared at him."You don't look like your suffering a hangover."

"Firefly brew,"Garen replied.

"Figures,"Kat said, walking next to Garen.

Garen laughed.

Diana nodded."Sounds like a plan."

"Then we have a team,"Nocturn stated."Zed, send in our forms to be a team, and we can begin fighting in the next championship."

Zed nodded.

"Everyone else, you can relax."

Fiddlesticks let out a little laugh, and stood up.

Kennen was even more uneasy that usual.

"This is definitely a bad sign,"Lee Sin stated.

Shen nodded.

"What do you think the problem is?"Akali asked, sharpening her blade.

Shen pulled back his mask to show his ragged black hair, short black goatee, and his blue eyes."It is still hard to tell. But as I said before, the balance will be put in danger."

Lee Sin rubbed his chin."We must prepair."

"Agreed,"Shen and Akali said, getting ready to go back to training. Lee Sin followed behind them.

Well, having trouble putting details together, but here you go guys.

The next chapter will be showing the rising chaos in Valoron. It will laos show the connection between the League, and the murder of General Du Couteau.
