Third POV:
Grey and Annie made their way to the others and when they reached them the all stood up.
Ahri: Grey that was amazing.
Grey: it wasn't anything special.
Ezreal: you're joking, right? That was awesome, most first matches don't end well at all.
Lux: yeah! You should have seen Ezreal's first match.
Garen and Shyvana snickered at the mention of the match while Ezreal looked alarmed.
Ezreal: LUX! You promised to never mention that.
Lux: (chuckle) oh come on it wasn't that bad... well maybe.
Ahri: well I definitely want to hear about it later, anyway you were great, oh you did good to Annie.
Annie: thanks Ahri, but I got to go, I'm going to play with Kong for a while.
She leaves and Grey turns to Ezreal.
Grey: Kong?
Ezreal: he's a champion, you'll meet him.
Grey nods and turns to Ahri.
Grey: so what do want to do until your match?
Ahri: (shrug and looks at the others) do you know what we can we do?
Lux: well... oh did you guys see your portraits yet?
Grey/Ahri: (union) portraits?
Lux: yeah! They give champions a portrait of themselves to represent them.
Garen: you can say it helps the summoners choose their champion, they give you a portrait and a few words to tell them who you are.
Ezreal: yeah, if you haven't seen yours let's go.
Grey: that sounds interesting, alright.
They made their way out of the dining hall and to a long corridor with lots of paintings with writing under them.
Ezreal: alright, were at the end and both your names start with an A, so we're gonna see ours first.
Ahri: alright, I got to admit I'm excited.
Grey: (chuckle) calm down, we'll see ours but our friends first.
They made their way and reached Shyvana's first it was a picture of her walking with fire in her hands and a silhouette of wings behind her.
Ahri: let's see, 'I am of two worlds, yet I belong to neither'... kinda of a downer don't you think.
Shyvana: it's the truth non the less.
They continue and reached Lux's portrait, it was a picture of her smiling while creating a bright light.
Ahri: it says 'The light inside is what makes me different, and I'm always careful where I shine it'... for some reason I can't picture you careful.
Ezreal: (snicker) you should have seen what happened one time in a match when- ow
He was interrupted with a punch in the shoulder by Lux with a blushing on her face.
Lux: I swear if you tell anyone about that, your first match will go public.
That immediately shuts Ezreal up, Garen chuckle at his sisters actions and the continue till they reach Garen's portrait, it was of him swinging his great sword with a battle cry.
Grey: 'This kingdom, and its people, have given me everything. What kind of man would I be if I gave any less in return?', that sounds quite honorable of you.
Garen: thank you.
They reached Ezreal's afterwards it was of him sliding with a smirk on his face with his gauntlet shinning.
Ahri: 'Undiscovered treasures? Deadly curses? Preposterous odds? Sign me up'.
Grey: that sounds like what a great adventurer would say.
Ezreal: thanks.
They finally reached Ahri's portrait, she was twisting her body with a spirit orb in her hands with her tails around her.
Ahri: let's see... 'Human emotions can be more volatile than even the deepest magic'.
Grey: that... actually sounds like something you would say.
Ahri: (crosses arms) you make it sound like I'm a mischievous person.
Grey didn't reply, he just gave her a blank look, it lasted for a few seconds until she sighed and raised her hands in mock surrender.
Ahri: ok, ok, I might say something like this.
Grey: might?
Ahri: alright, if your so sure of yourself let's go see your's, oh powerful Abyss watcher.
He just rolled his eyes and they went ahead and saw his... and he wasn't alone, his portrait was of him rising from a grave with a few abyss watchers doing the same.
Garen: well... this is unusual.
Ezreal: well they did call him a multiple.
Ahri: let's see what it says... 'the Undead legion fight together by their shared wolf's blood, the Legion... will bury a kingdom at the first sign of corruption'
Grey: wow, that actually is something we would say.
Lux: uhmm... what's with the whole wolf blood thing?
Grey: well you were wondering why they called me a multiple, it's because we abyss watchers are sworn by the wolf's blood to always fight together, we are allies even after death.
Ahri: I guess that makes sense, but I don't understand the burying kingdom part because of corruption?
Grey: they must be talking about the Abyss, and we would bury a kingdom for it.
Ezreal: doesn't that sound... extreme?
Garen: yes, it sounds rather cruel to destroy a kingdom for it.
Grey: you don't understand, the abyss isn't something to be taken lightly, I... saw what it does to life, people who are taken by it don't even look human anymore, and it did take a kingdom before... It didn't end well.
Ezreal: the more I hear about it the more I'm glad it doesn't exist here.
Shyvana: yes, it does sound as an unpleasant place to be.
Ahri: well my match should be soon now so let's go back to the hall.
Everyone agrees and they make it back to the hall and are about to set in a table, but were approached by someone.
???: hey Garen!
They see a woman with red hair and leather clothing with a scare over her eye walking towards them, Garen looked quite pleased to see her.
Garen: ah Katarina! It's good to see you.
Katarina: good to see you too.
Lux: hey Kat, how are you.
Katarina: not bad.
Ahri: hey there, I don't think we met.
Katarina: I guess not, I'm Katarina Du Couteau, the sinister blade, your the new champions, right?
Grey: yes, I'm Grey Ashnex pleasure to meet you.
Ahri: I'm Ahri the nine-tailed fox.
Garen: so how have you been.
Katarina: pretty good, mind if I join you?
Garen: not at all, be my guest.
They sit in a table with Garen and Katarina setting together.
Katarina: (looks at Grey) so you're the guy from another world, Swain took quite the interest in you after he heard that and got more interested after your match.
Grey: Swain?
Katarina: Noxus grand general, he's sorta my boss.
Grey: wait, you're Noxus?
Katarina: yes.
Lux: (snicker) she's also Garen's girlfriend.
Grey and Ahri looked a tad shoked after that statement While Garen and Katarina looked embarrassed with their cheeks red.
Garen: L-LUX! Stop saying that to everyone.
Lux: what? It's not like it's a secret.
Katarina: it was until you figured it out.
Ezreal: and then the entire Institute knew about it, bottom line is that Lux would rather share a secret than keep it.
Lux: hey!
Ahri: wow, I'm actually happy for you two... but wait, don't Demacia and Noxus hate each other.
Katarina: well... you're kind of both right and wrong.
Ezreal: you see Noxus used to be at war with almost everyone, but after the Institute was created it can only take lands through matches or its going to risk having all of Runeterra after it.
Garen: war was stopped, some people were able to live together but most still hate each other.
Katarina: most of those who got along were champions.
Grey: I guess the Institute is more important than I thought, I truly respect them for aiming for peace.
Ahri: yeah, kinda glad I didn't turn human before it was created.
Ahri then got surrounded by light.
Ahri: guess it's my turn.
Grey: be careful.
Ahri: oh come on, it's me.
Ahri disappeared and Grey sighed.
Grey: that's what I'm worried about.
The orb appeared in the middle of the hall and they can see the teams.
Ahri POV:
I got summoned into the rift and saw other champions, both Caitlyn and Vi were there and there was also guy with a trench coat, long hair and a hat with a card on it, there was also a yordle with a green hat that had a feather in it, he also held a blowing stick with a few maps.
Vi: hi Ahri, first match?
Ahri: yeah, a little nervous to be honest.
Vi: don't worry, we got your back.
Man with hat: well hello there.
The man with the hat came and started taking a flirty look.
Man with hat: aren't you cute, I'm Twisted Fate, and you are?
Ahri: (rolls eyes) I'm Ahri.
Twisted Fate: a beautiful name for a beautiful woman, how about after this we go for a drink.
Ahri: (yawn) not interested, now please don't talk to me.
It's not that I mind if men start trying to impress me, it's just... well... he's not Grey, I would really like it if he starts flirting with me, but I know he wouldn't, not to mention that I came here to impress him.
Twisted Fate: alright, I know when a lady isn't interested, (smirk)or maybe... already has her eyes on someone?
Ahri: (blush) I don't know what your talking about.
Twisted Fate: (chuckle) sure you don't.
I see the yordle getting ready with a big smile on his face, it kinda creeps me out, there was something... psychotic about that smile.
Vi: (whisper) that's Teemo, be glad he's on your side in your first match, normally he's really friendly, but inside matches he gets a little... excited.
Ahri: noted.
Summoner: g-good afternoon champion.
I then hear a voice in my head, it was female and quite young, it sounded nervous too.
Summoner: i-i'll be guiding you through battle, but just remember that this is my first match just as it is your's, so I apologize for any mistakes I might make.
Ahri: well okay, and don't worry, like you said this is my first match too, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Summoner: thank you.
We heard a sound meaning the match began, Twisted Fate went north, Vi and Caitlyn went together in the middle and Teemo went to the jungle, I went alone In the only rout left.
Ahri: "alright, impress Grey, but don't show off to much and end up embarrassing yourself".
I saw the minions walking and decided to hide so I went into the bushes near the rode, the minions from the other team showed up with a champion, it was a man with short comed hair and white armor, he also had a scientific looking big hammer, I summon three fire orbs around me and jumped, he was caught off guard and the orbs around me went to him one after another, he was hit but not much so I got a spirit orb read and fired at him, it went through him and then came back hi was heavily damaged but not done, he got up and pointed the hammer at me which opened into a cannon, it fired but I was able to dodge by dashing to the side and threw a spirit orb while doing it, I then brought my hand to my lips and blew him a charm spell that hit him, he gained a stupid look and was coverd in pink aura, he slowly and harmlessly made his way towards me, I waited for the right moment while charging my spirit orb, when he was close enough I threw it at him, he was almost done then the orb came back dealing more damage and finished him off.
Summoner: great work champion!
Ahri: thanks.
I started killing minions and we reached the turret, I decided to do what Grey did and waited for it to attack the minions and attacked it, after a while i managed to destroy it and the minions continued their way.
Summoner: will you be joining them?
Ahri: no, I'll head back and recharge my mana, then continue.
Summoner: I can help you with that.
A magical circle appeared under me and after a few seconds I was back in the base.
Ahri: wow, thanks.
Summoner: your welcome, it's a little thing we summoners made to help champions.
After some time near the fountain, I went back into battle, the match continued on without much events, I killed a few champions, with the help of others of course, both teams managed to destroy a few turrets, it was pretty even until me and Vi destroyed the turret near the entrance.
Vi: alright let's get going.
But then this humanoid crocodile with this weird blade appeared, I knew it was my chance to show off.
Ahri: I'll take care of him, you go for the crystal.
Vi: you sure?
Ahri: yeah."this is my chance to impress him"
Vi nods and go straight to the crystal, the crocodile sees her but before he does anything I cast a charm on him, he starts walking harmlessly to me and I summon three fire orbs to attack him, they do but not with much damage, the charm wears off and he looks angry, he brings his blade up and bring it down but I dash out of the way and start attacking him, I'm not doing much damage but it's obvious he's hurting, I dash dodging another swing, I was about to attack but my mana ran out and he looked ready to attack, he was almost at me but before he brings down his blade a glowing card flew at him making an explosion of magical energy, I looked back to see Twisted Fate with cards in he's hand, the crocodile got up but really wounded, he then somehow grew in size and looked more threatening, but before he did anything I saw Vi finally destroying the crystal.
Announcer: VICTORY, red team.
Vi yells in victory and Twisted Fate just smiles and put back his cards, I'm surrounded by light and transported to a room with the other champions, the champions are approached by their summoners and mine comes into view, her face was a little visible under the hood and I was right about her being young, she had fair skin, brown eyes and shoulder length blond hair, she looked like she was 19,20 years old.
Summoner: that was incredible champion, you did great.
Ahri: thanks but you deserve some credit too, I mean it was both our first match, I'm Ahri, saying champion sounds too formal.
Summoner: t-hank you cha-A-Ahri, sorry, I'm shy around new people, I'm Aki by the way.
Ahri: it's okay, why don't we hang out a little.
Aki: a-are you sure?
Ahri: sure, why not?
We make our way out and get out, we make it to the dining hall and my heart is racing on how Grey thought about me in the match, and then I thought back to how I used my charm magic.
Ahri: (mischievous smile)"hmm I wonder what Grey would do to me if I used it on him while we're in bed..." (blushes and shakes head) "no no no no no! What am I thinking? If I do that to him he'll never look me in the eye again!"
Aki: a-are you alright Ahri?
Ahri: y-yeah don't worry, just thinking.
Grey POV: during the match.
I saw that Ahri was with Caitlyn and Vi, I was happy she was with someone we know, the guy with the hat came to Ahri and apparently was flirting with her, I wasn't surprised, I mean she is quite a beautiful woman after all, she apparently declined and for some reason my heart felt lighter, the match began and she went alone, she hid in the bushes as the minions started battling until a champion appeared, she jumped and surprised him and started battling, after a while he looked damaged and then she... blew him a kiss?
Lux: uhmm... did she just blow him a kiss?... and did he fall for it?
Grey: (shakes head) I don't know what's disappointing, what she did... or the fact that it doesn't surprise me?
Katarina: try both.
She was able to beat him and we saw her destroy the turret, she then stood there for a while and then got teleported back to the base the match went on even afterwards until Ahri and Vi destroyed the turret near the entrance, they went in and this humanoid crocodile showed up, Ahri was the one who took him on while Vi went to the crystal, she was doing pretty good until she ran out of energy, I became really worried but then the man with the hat came and saved her, Vi was able to destroy the crystal and they were declared winners, I let out a breath I didn't know I had.
Grey: that was close.
Third POV:
Ahri and Aki were able to reach the table with everyone in it.
Lux: Ahri that was awesome!
Katarina: yeah, not bad for a first match.
Ahri: thanks, oh and this is Aki.
Aki: i-it's nice to meet you everyone.
Grey: it's nice to meet you too, Ahri in the end you got a little risky didn't you? You could have been hurt.
Ahri: (frown) so that's what you have to say about my match.
Grey: (sigh) no, I guess not, (smile) you did great, you truly amazed me.
Ahri: (blush slightly) r-really? Thanks.
The boys didn't notice, but Aki, katarina, Lux and Shyvana all saw how Ahri perked up by Grey's complement, they even saw how some of her tails started waging slightly.
Ezreal: well since that's over, (looks at Grey) do you still want to come with me to explore the tomb.
Grey: yes, but how will we get there.
Ezreal: a summoner can send us, they can really help when it comes to traveling.
Ahri: how long will you be gone?
Ezreal: we should be back by tomorrow.
Grey: (looks at Ahri) will you be alright on your own?
Ahri: oh please, I think I can survive without you for a day.
Grey: (rolls eyes) figures, (looks at Ezreal) alright Ezreal, lead the way.
Ezreal: sure.
Grey leaves with Ezreal and Garen gets up.
Garen: well, as much as I want to stay, I have to go back to Demacia and work as a bodyguard for a noble.
Garen left and now it was just the girls.
Lux: alright, it's just us ladies now so let's have a girls night!
Ahri and Aki sit down and Ahri started thinking.
Ahri: "yes! He was impressed, now I'll just wait for him to return, I have a full day... alone... without Grey... wow this is hard"
