"A fellow champion"
The words rang in Flynn's head as h steadied himself on the foot of the bed, the teleportation from his home kingdom had worn him out.
Exhausted Flynn brushed off the "champion's handbook" lying neatly on the bed and crashed down to sleep on the neat white covers.
Upon awakening Flynn felt an immediate pang in his stomach, as was per usual for one raises by dragons. He rose from his bed and put on his rag tag armour of various pieces of dragon scale bound together upon leather that brushed at his skin. It was not flashy but the tough scales did their job well enough.
He left his quarters to find the hall a much livelier place than last night. Left and right there were champions and summoners walking by one odd duo was that of a large seemingly drunken man who was fist bumping with a well-built masked man totting a cumbersome lamp post.
Realising he was ogling Flynn made a brief right turn and smacked heads with a red an orange blur.
Flynn rose slowly still dizzy from the collision and found himself eye to eye with a blue woman clad in red armour, her eyes seemed ablaze but Flynn met them with his own deep orange ones.
A faint recognition from this ritual seemed to spark inside Flynn and slowly he realised that this woman was also of dragon origin.
"Well I never" proclaimed the woman, her hands coming to rest at her hips
"I knew the league was summoning another from rickhiem but not a... Well someone like me!" She hardly hesitated in her speech but it was noticeable.
"Someone like me?" Flynn inquired
"Yea, a half dragon" she said her voice now more jubilant now.
"Not a half dragon, just raised by one" Flynn corrected, his hearts began to ache for his homeland and all of a sudden he remembered the summoners final words.
"Hey, you wouldn't know where I could eat do you?" Flynn asked flippantly
"HA HA, you may not be of dragon blood but you sure have some things in common" she said as she punched my arm causing me to stagger from the blow but ultimately remained upright.
"Follow me, oh and I'm shyvanna by the way, a champion of the league" she said holding out he hand
"Flynn" i replied taking the hand and returning the firm grip of shyvanna with my own.
They passed through numerous corridors until they got to a grand hall that exploded with noise as they champions and some summoners ate breakfast together.
But what struck Flynn the most was not the grand design of the place nor the thousand smells of food he had never smelt before but the sheer diversity of the champions who talked an ate casually. There were green blobs, armoured bears, divers, ice birds, spectral horsemen and an armadillo but to name a few.
Presently, shivanna beckoned Flynn over to a great lay out of meat and with a wide gesture of her arm said "eat all you want"
Flynn's eyes lit up and his stomach took over as he greedily swiped all different kinds of meat and sat opposite shyvanna a piece of demacian pork already in his mouth.
As Flynn wolfed down the food he took a peek at shyvanna and smiled as he realised she had chosen the same food for herself- meat and lots of it.
"So you're the new guy?" Came a soft voice to Flynns left.
He turned to see a young girl with pointed ears and nine mesmerising tails protruding from her back.
Noticing his stares the girl met his eyes and asked "you like?"
Flynn was about to respond when shyvanna broke in
"Hands off Ahri, I think Flynn would rather keep his souls"
"Ohh shivy what's with the hands off? Keeping him to yourself?"
"SHUT UP" shyvanna retorted the dragon half coming through in her tone.
Ahri's ears seemed to flatten and she scampered off quickly.
"You stay away from that girl" came a female voice from behind Flynn
The speaker was a summoner dressed in the classic purple robes but her hood was down revealing a woman of around 30 with short black hair and hard set cheeks but wiry smile played across her face.
"Hey sam" shyvanna greeted her
"You a summoner here" Flynn asked
"Not a summoner, my summoner" came shyvannas reply
"Your summoner?" Flynn questioned
"Yea, all the champs you see here have their own personal summoner didn't you read the book they leave on your bed?"
