I found myself standing in a dark land covered in mysterious mist. I knew I was dreaming so I slowly examined this dreamworld I had just entered. I took a few steps into the mist as I saw the new glyph which formed after I met Thresh glow with a reddish light. There in the distance I saw a figure that seemed to be female, her head was not visible only her body. I slowly approached her but as soon as she noticed me she began running away from me. I chased after her wanting to know who this mysterious woman was.

"Wait, just let me see you!"

The woman suddenly stopped giving me a better view of her. I saw long red hair before she threw daggers into my eyes, blinding me. I awoke to a loud banging noise and fell from my bed straight on my face.

"Shit!"

Lux immediately jumped from the bed offering me her hand and pulled me up.

"Are you alright?"

"We have to get out and see what's happening."

We exited the bedroom only to be met with a grim sight. There were corpses of former crewmembers lying before us and as I looked towards the ship's wheel I saw Thresh wearing the captain's hat, sailing the ship straight into rocks.

"Thresh you psychopath, why the hell did you do that!?"

"Hey at least I got us to Urtistan safely, most of us."

"These men were innocent!"

"Boo hoo, like I care about that!"

"I must say though, that hat fits you perfectly!"

"Why thank you, this is the first compliment I've gotten in years!"

"That doesn't change anything though; you're still responsible for murdering the whole crew!"

"Don't worry; they suffered well before I captured their souls!"

"Release their souls at this moment you sick bastard!"

"Make me!"

I said nothing as I took of my armor and threw it to the other side of the ship. The force that bound us together pulled him straight into a pole, making him regret ever saying those two words.

"Alright, alright, I'll release them!"

"Good boy!"

"Do not mock me!"

I put my armor back on as Thresh released the souls of the crewmembers he had slaughtered. Together we left the ship and headed towards the city of Urtistan to find Zilean. After a mere minutes of walking we could see the great clock tower of Zilean, we knew we were in the right place. We walked amongst the ruins of a once great city, the clock tower being the lonely thing remaining of the long fallen Urtistan. There were a few figures dressed in robes not far from us and they didn't look friendly. We approached with caution and as soon as they noticed us they drew their weapons, ready to attack at any moment. One of them approached me with his dagger drawn, ready to stab me.

"Ahh what do we have here, we have found you Soulbound and now you must die!"

"What are you…?

Before I could complete the sentence the mysterious man tried to impale me on his dagger, but I quickly dodged the attack and cut into his neck with my mini scythe also consuming his soul in the process. The other cultists charged towards us but we were prepared. Thresh immediately jumped into the fray with joy and began massacring them as Lux used her final spark to turn most of them to mere dust. I threw my mini scythe towards one of the attacking cultists, penetrating his skull.

"If only I had a better weapon!"

The three remaining cultists tried run away, but there was no way Thresh was going to let that happen so he used the box to prevent their futile escape. One of them tried to run through the box, only to have his body drained of his soul as the other two watched in horror before Thresh ended their misery with one slash of his scythe. He laughed evilly as the doomed souls were consumed by his lantern.

"Finally, I haven't had so much fun in a while!"

"Hmm, maybe having a psychopath on our side isn't so bad after all!"

"Good for you Thresh, now let's get moving!"

We entered the great clock tower of Urtistan but there were no staircases to lead to the top, only various moving gears which shaped a dangerous way up.

"Guess we'll have to climb up."

Lux looked up to and shivered at the height they were about to climb.

"Wow, that's high!"

"Lux, are you sure you can climb up there?"

"I'll try."

We jumped on the lowest gear and proceeded to jump upwards from gear to gear. At first it was no problem that is until we got somewhere to the middle where things stated to get a little bit crazier. The gears were now moving vertically across the tower making it extremely dangerous. Being an undead spectre Thresh saw no fear in this dangerous obstacle and successfully jumped from gear to gear to a nearby platform. Me and Lux followed, but right before we were about to make the final jump Lux slipped and fell. I jumped and caught her hand in the air, but the platform was too high so I quickly grabbed a pole which was sticking out of the wall. We were hanging from a small pole about fifty meters above ground, with only one of my hands grabbing the pole and the other one holding Lux. Lucky for us, Thresh lowered his scythe towards us allowing us to grab it and then pulled us up.

"Thanks, you saved our lives."

"Let me get through the obstacles first and I'll just throw you my lantern."

"But what if you fall?"

"I'm undead, I can't die so easily."

We did as Thresh told us and this tactic got us up to the top of the tower where upon reaching the final platform we sighed in relief and looked down.

"Finally, it's over!"

We found ourselves standing before a large metal door which opened as soon as we looked upon it. Zilean came through and welcomed us.

"I knew you would come, please do come in!"

"If you knew we were coming then why didn't you help us get up?"

"That was a test my friend and you have just passed it!"

"I don't get it, what was the test here?"

"To see if you are even worthy enough to seek my wisdom!"

He led us inside his room which was filled with various chrono magical experiments and gadgets.

"Alright Liam, what I am about to tell you will change your life forever."

"Go on, I'm listening."

"As you can see the armor you are currently wearing is very special, it is an ancient armor even older than Urtistan itself. The armor will only reveal its true powers to the one and only, the Soulbound. In my times there was one legend which spoke about how the coming of the Soulbound will drive all evil from our world."

"What must I do?"

"Your task is to find those who were bound with your soul and you had already successfully found one, Thresh. You see, each glyph on your armor represents one person, for example the scythe representing Thresh. While I do not know of what powers the circle around which the glyphs are herded is supposed to do, I do know who you must seek out next."

"And who is that?"

"Your dreams have already told you everything, just think about it. Who does the red blade glyph represent?"

"That woman with red hair, if only I had seen her face. Wait, the blade is very familiar to me, by the looks of it the blade is Noxian. Red hair, red glyph, blade, Noxus..."

"Katarina, I must find Katarina!"

"Good job Liam, I believe I have helped you enough. I will create a portal to the Noxian outskirts for you, good luck."

"Thank you for your help Zilean, you were of great use to us."

"It is no problem at all, you were lucky to come in such short notice for I am afraid that I'm planning to exit my tower and go where I am needed most. Before I let you go though, I can make one weapon of your choice just for you."

"I think a sword would be very useful right now."

"A sword it is then."

He grabbed one of the swords he had on display and began enchanting it with chrono magic.

"Thresh, give me some souls."

"Very well, here you go."

Zilean used the given souls and transferred them into my blade thus making it even stronger.

"Lux, transfer some of your light magic into my hand please."

"Sure, here you go Zilean."

He used the light magic of Lux to enchant the blade, making it glow brightly."

"It is done; I present to you the Illuminating Chrono Soulreaver!"

"Thank you very much Zilean, I am very thankful for the help you have provided us."

"Also, I have altered your armor a little bit allowing you and those bound to you to move far away from each other without getting pulled back. Only if it senses a person trying to escape you it will pull them back. Now I shall open the portal for you, good luck!"

He opened a portal for us and as we stepped through we found ourselves standing near the city of Noxus, but far enough from any danger. We decided it was best to rest and think for a while before we went to find Katarina. I and Lux lied down under a tree and she fell asleep with her head leaned on my shoulder while I got lost inside my thoughts.

"Why does it have to be Katarina? I've heard too many bad things about her to know what she's like! Well at least she's better than Thresh I guess!"

As they relaxed under the tree, I walked around in boredom. There was nothing to torture, not even a rabbit or a squirrel. I sat down on a rock next to Liam and sighed.

"There's nothing fun about waiting!"

"Haven't you ever considered doing stuff that normal people usually do for fun?"

"I'm not so easily amused by normal things!"

"Now why would I do that, I'm not normal."

"You have a point, but still have you ever tried playing for example a guessing game with someone?"

"Not unless they had to guess how I was going to make them suffer."

"No."

"Would you like to?"

I shrugged in response; there was no way I would be playing such a dull and boring game.

"No."

"Alright then, how about we just talk?"

"That could work."

"What do you want to know about me?"

"Who were you before you became undead?"

"I was human like you and I enjoyed torture at that time as well."

"Was there a time where you weren't all about torturing people?"

"Yes, but that was hundreds of years ago."

"What even drove you to torture anyways?"

"I don't remember."

"I think that there's still a heart hidden deep inside you."

I began to laugh insanely loud, even waking up Lux in the process.

"Hah, you can dream about that!"

My laughter also seemed to attract two Noxian soldiers which I gladly tore apart before they even noticed us.

"Damn you Thresh your laughter would've nearly doomed us!"

We heard footsteps coming from far away so we quickly abandoned the tree and went into the nearby woods.

"Does anybody know where to find Katarina?"

Lucky for him, I had just received a little bit of information on her from a Demacian fellow I had slaughtered.

"A Demacian man I had killed days ago revealed her current location; she is currently resting in the Du Couteau manor."

"Well crap, how are we going to infiltrate Noxus!?"

I came up with a perfect plan even though they might not like it.

"I have an idea that just might work!"

"Go on, I'm listening."

"We could use the same tactics as we did when you snuggled me into the city of Demacia. You and Lux will get dressed in the suits of the two dead Noxian guards, I'll put on my shackles and you'll say that you're taking me in as a prisoner. We will go to the Du Couteau manor afterwards and convince Katarina to meet us outside of Noxus by telling her that there is an urgent matter that she must attend to ordered to her by Swain. Once she is alone and vulnerable, we'll strike."

"That's one crazy plan, but I like it!"

"Do we have a deal then?"

"Yes we do sir!"

"Good, let's go!"

Meanwhile in the city of Demacia, Garen and Jarvan had noticed that Lux was absent. They searched around the citadel and the city, even ordering masses of guards to help them look for her but to no avail. Her worried brother Garen had given up the search and looked down in sorrow.

"How could I let her go out of my sight Jarvan, how?"

"Don't worry friend, I'm sure we will find her!"

As I was about to give up all of my hope, I noticed a dark skinned man carrying two guns approach me.

"Your sister left with Liam and my nemesis Thresh, they are headed to Urtistan at this moment. I suspect that he might be working with Thresh and that Lux was taken captive."

"I never expected one of my best friends to betray me like that, taking my dear sister captive! Jarvan, dispatch our troops and let's head to Urtistan. When I find Liam I'll punish him for what he has done!"
