Ahri POV:

I woke up next morning hugging the Grey plushy that he bought for me yesterday after he bought one for Annie, on the way back Grey also bought some strange ingredients.

When the others saw the plushy Lux and Katarina burst out laughing while Garen was laughing too but was still trying to look professional, Aki just thought it was cute and I think she wanted one too, I got up and saw that Grey wasn't there so I put down the plushy and got out to take a bath.

After I was done I looked at the schedule and saw no matches for either me or Grey so I got to the living room and didn't find him, a strange scent caught my attention and I saw him I'm the kitchen cooking, I thought it was romantic that he was cooking breakfast for us...

Until I got in and saw what's in the pot, it was a strange orange liquid that gave off steam and bubbles and smelled quite weird too, and for some reason it was glowing slightly as well.

Ahri: uhmm... hi Grey.

Grey: oh! Good morning Ahri.

Ahri: yeah... so... is that breakfast?

Even if I like him if he says yes then I'm telling him an excuse and making a run for it.

Grey: no.

Oh thank God! I let out a breath that I was secretly holding.

Grey: (chuckle) as much as I hate to admit it I don't know how to cook if it isn't putting meat above fire.

Ahri: it's ok, I don't know how to cook too, so what is it?

Grey: Estus soup, I've been running out of Estus so I needed to make this to refill, I got it's ingredients yesterday.

Grey takes out his empty Estus Flask and then refills it, the pot to my delight is empty afterwards.

Ahri: isn't the Flask a little small?

Grey: yeah, but you only need a tiny mouthful, with this amount I should be able to use it for at least five times.

Ahri: well let's go to breakfast now shall we? I already saw the schedule and we're free today.

Grey: alright.

He grabs his cloak and hat, before he Covered his face I grabbed his hand to stop him and shook my head reminding him before he does his habit.

Me and Grey got into the dinning hall and found Lux, Garen, Katarina, Jarvan and Shyvana sitting together, we sit down and say our greetings.

Ahri: hey does anyone know where Aki is?

Lux: I think she's got a match to play.

Ahri: oh... well she is a summoner.

Grey: what about Ezreal?

Lux: business back in Piltover.

Grey: very well, and how are you two today?

Shyvana: not bad.

Jarvan: I am well thank you.

Grey: I am very glad to hear that, and how is Demacian Jarvan?

Jarvan: very well, you know my offer for a tour of it still stands.

Grey: I'll think about it.

???: so this is the man from another world, the Abyss watcher.

We turned around and saw a man that was between his late thirties and early forties, he had white long hair that was neatly combed back, he wore a black armor and a big black cape on his back.

Third POV:

Everyone but Grey and Ahri recognized the man, but it was Katarina who spoke first.

Katarina: hi boss, got a jop for me?

???: no, I'm merly here to meet him.

Grey stood up and faced the man, he didn't find a reason to be hostile so he gave a smile and raised his hand for a shake.

Grey: hello, yes you are right, I am the abyss watcher, but my real name is Grey Ashnex.

The man while still having a stoic expression raised his hand and shook Grey's.

???: Swain, Jericho Swain, the Noxian grand general.

Grey: a pleasure to meet you, now how can I assist you?

Swain: yes, you see we at Noxus don't believe in royalty, money or origins, what we really appreciate is talent, if you got talent you can quickly move up in ranks in the military, and the more rank you gain the better your life becomes, I have worked hard on gaining the title general and I seek to guide Noxus to glory, my original plan was to invade and expand to raise its greatness, but now with the Institute I need to win matches for that as to such I became a champion and thanks to people seeing the Noxus champions win matches the number of believers in Noxus had raised and I gained some of what I desire.

Grey: Noxus sounds like a nation of greatness, but I still don't see what does this have to do with me?

Swain: you see you have peaked my interest, I saw that you are a great warrior, and I have heard that you are not registered with any nation, I was wondering if you are interested in joining Noxus?

Everyone but Grey and Ahri already knew what he wanted when he started talking about Noxus, he wanted to make Grey into a Noxus champion and they were worried about it especially Ahri and Jarvan.

Jarvan because he was worried that Swain would use Grey as a political pawn, Ahri because she was Ionian and Noxus and Ionia had a bad history together, if Grey became Noxian and a political problem came up she and him would surely be enemies.

Grey was in thought for a few seconds.

Grey: I'm sorry Swain, but I can't, if I become Noxian I will only be able to fight for Noxus, but I want to fight for all those who need me, but rest assured that Noxus has my respect and if it ever needs my help I will be more than happy to lend a hand.

Swain closed his eyes in thought and then opened them with a slight smile on his lips.

Swain: good enough I suppose, I'll be taking my leave now, till we meet again Abyss watcher.

Grey: likewise General.

Swain takes his leave and Grey sit back down and got back to his food, he didn't realize the looks Ahri, Jarvan and Katarina was giving him.

Ahri was grateful that Grey was still on her side, Katarina looked a little happy that Grey said he respects Noxus, and Jarvan had a look of slight admiration, he saw that Grey truly wanted to help anyone in need no matter what nation they belong to.

Katarina: I got to admit Grey I'm impressed, I never saw Swain get declined and still leave with a smile.

Grey: thank you.

Shyvana: you handled him too well, didn't you?

Grey: call it experience, I used to know someone who was exactly like Swain.

Garen: really?

Katarina: someone like Swain? This I got to hear, mind telling us about him.

Grey: his name is Pontiff Sulyvahn.

Ahri: hey you mentioned that name yesterday.

Garen: why do you think those two are alike.

Grey: because their both... selfless in a sense.

Jarvan: what do you mean?

Grey: you see back in my world Sulyvahn was the leader of a great church in the Boreal valley, Sulyvahn worked hard to expand his church and it's beliefs, the bigger the church got and more believers there was Sulyvahn got more powerful, but he didn't care, Sulyvahn didn't care about the power he got and broff of that is that he helped Aldrich create the church of the deep, what he truly cared about was expanding his church and it's beliefs and wanting it's name to be remembered in history, and Swain doesn't care about ruling but glory for Noxus, I guess you can see how those two are alike... plus their both naturally scary.

Katarina: yeah I can second that.

Grey: yes but Pontiff Sulyvahn was much more terrifying.

Lux: oh come on he can't be that bad.

Grey: Sulyvahn had giant mutated lightning spitting crocodiles for pets and they shiver in fear whenever he's around.

Lux: ... okaaaay... I take back what I said.

Grey: ...(mumble) I wonder?

Ahri: what is it Grey?

Grey: just thinking, Pontiff Sulyvahn's second in command was a good friend of mine, I was just wondering how she was doing.

Ahri's tails immediately stopped moving, her ears twitched and she gained a slightly murderous aura around her.

Ahri: uhmm, did you just say 'she'? "And did he just say they were 'good friends'"

Grey: yes, she was a woman, why do you ask?

Ahri: no reason.

Lux: so what do you guys want to do today?

Grey: well I was thinking of-

???:excuse me.

They turned around and saw Kayle standing there only without her helmet, she had blonde shoulder length blond hair that was slightly darker than Lux and Aki.

Ahri: hi Kayle.

Grey: good morning Kayle.

Kayle: yes to you too.

Ahri: so do you want something?

Kayle: actually yes, the high summoners want to see Grey.

Grey: me?

Ahri: why would they want to meet him?

Kayle: (shrug) I don't know, they just told me to bring him, but don't worry I don't think you're in trouble.

Grey: (gets up) alright you guys just wait, I'll be back soon.

Ahri: you sure?

Grey: yes don't worry.

Grey leaves with Kayle and the others start wondering what the high summoners could want.

Grey POV:

Me and Kayle just arrived at the door to the high summoners.

Kayle: I'll be waiting outside, they want to meet you in person.

Grey: alright, thank you.

Kayle: your welcome.

Kayle stand besides the door and I go in, after I'm in the room I got the attention of the high summoners.

Summoner1: thank you for arriving, Abyss watcher.

Grey: it's alright, now you wanted to see me?

Summoner2: yes, you see we want to send you on a mission.

. . . . . . . Wait, what?

Grey: a... mission?

Summoner2: yes.

Summoner3: we believe that a potential champion lives in the Kumungu jungle, we want you to see if they are interested in joining the Institute.

Grey: I don't understand, I'm sure there are champions more capable than me, I mean I come from a different world, shouldn't you send a champion more familiar with the jungle than me?

Summoner4: there are champions that visit the Kumungu jungle often, however those aren't... the most diplomatic of people.

Summoner3: we believe that you are able to do the mission.

Summoner1: don't worry, as long as you are in the mission you will be excused from matches, but please do it as fast as you can.

Grey: very well, when do I need to leave?

Summoner2: anytime you want as long as it today.

Grey: thank you, may I leave now?

Summoner1: yes.

I turned around and left, I exited and found Kayle standing near the door.

Kayle: so did it go well?

Grey: yes, they just wanted me for a mission.

Kayle: really? They usually send me.

Grey: don't feel offended, they said it was in a place called the Kumungu jungle.

Kayle: that would explain it, (blush slightly) as embarrassing as it is to admit, I don't have any experience with the jungle.

Grey: don't worry, everyone has something their not good at, me it's cooking.

Kayle: (laugh slightly) thank you.

Grey: your welcome, now sorry but I have to leave to meet my friends, would you like to join me.

Kayle: (shakes head) thanks but I have my own work to do.

Grey: well see you later then.

I turned around and started walking to the dinning hall.

Third POV:

The others were waiting for Grey and they were growing worried.

Ahri: it can't be anything bad, right? I mean Grey didn't do anything.

Jarvan: calm down, I'm sure it's nothing.

Garen: the prince is right, if there was a problem they would have forced Grey into coming with them, but they didn't.

Ahri knew they were right, but that didn't stop her from worrying, they saw Grey approach and they all stood up.

Ahri: Grey, are you alright?

Grey: yes.

Garen: what did they want with you?

Grey: a mission, apparently.

They all grew confused and Grey told them what happened with the high summoners and the mission they gave him.

Shyvana: so their sending you to bring someone back.

Grey: apparently, they want me to leave today.

Ahri: do you have to?

Grey: I'm afraid so.

They noticed something in his words, it was... fear? Ahri was the first one to notice that Grey's hand was trembling.

Ahri: Grey? What's wrong?

Grey: i-it's noth-

Ahri: no Grey, it's is something, your trembling and I can feal your afraid.

Katarina: are you afraid of the jungle or something?

Lux: don't worry, everyone is afraid of something.

Grey: no it's not that... it's just... the last time I went on a mission I just came back to kill everyone I care about, I'm just scared it might happen again.

Ahri was the only one to understand what he was talking about, she walked up to him and gave him a hug.

Ahri: it's not going to happen again, I promise, just make sure you come back and you'll find us waiting ok.

Grey: (smile) alright.

Ahri: so when are you leaving?

Grey: well... now actually, the sooner I leave the sooner I can return.

Ahri: (ears fall slightly) r-really? Do you have to now?

Grey: I'm sorry, but when I returne I'm going to spend some time with you as payback.

Ahri: (playful smile) promise? I know you keep your promises.

Grey: (chuckle) alright, I promise, now I'll be on my way.

Garen: before you go a fair warning, the Kumungu jungle is very dangerous.

Grey: I've been to the road of sacrifice, I'm pretty sure I can handle it, oh and before I go, say hi to Annie, Aki and Ezreal for me.

Grey turned around and made his way to the transportation center, once he got inside he saw the summoner.

Grey: hello.

Summoner: ah good morning champion, how can I help you?

Grey: I would like to be sent to the Kumungu jungle.

Summoner: the Kumungu jungle? That is an unusual place, If you don't mind me asking why would you go there?

Grey: a mission from the high summoners.

Summoner: ah, say no more, I'll send you right away, but before that I have to tell you that the only transportation centers around the Kumungu jungle is either in Demacia or Noxus.

Grey: noted.

Summoner: now stand in the circle.

Grey stood in the circle and a the summoner made a few motions in a few seconds he was teleported into the jungle, Grey found himself surrounded by trees and plants and noises of animals of all kinds could be heard.

he started walking and jumped over a fallen tree, he stopped when her heard a growl, he looked back to see a creature with lizard like features and a horn looking at him.

Grey: I don't suppose you're who I'm looking for, right?

The creature growled and charged at Grey, he jumped at the last second while pulling his sword and knife, the creature crashed into the fallen tree while Grey anchored his knife in the ground using it to make a swing with his sword, he struck while the creature jumped to the side from the hit and Grey jumped and made another swing that struck the creature in the face.

the creature recoiled back and then roared in rage, Grey backed off slightly and noticed a hill behind him, the creature charged again and Grey waited for the right moment and jumped resulting in the creature falling in the hill, it landed on it's back, it started squirming trying to get on it's feet but Grey jumped in and stabbed his sword in the creature, he pulled his sword half way through and drove it back deeper, when he made sure the creature was dead he fully pulled out his sword.

Grey: well, that was interesting, now let's continue looking.

Grey put his sword and knife away and continued walking, in the trees however was a figure hidden in the shadows, it looked at Grey with emerald green eyes and then a smirk appeared on it's lips.

???: not bad, maybe he can be what I'm looking for.

Ahri POV:

It's been a while since Grey left and Aki joined us by now and I'm. . . Bored.

Ahri: (sigh) do any of you guys know what to do.

Lux: we could go shopping?

Ahri: without someone to carry our luggage.

Lux: oh... right.

Aki: do you want to go to the arcade again.

I perked up after that, I guess I was so focused on Grey that I forgot about it.

Ahri: yeah that should be fun.

Jarvan: sorry but I'm not an arcade person.

Shyvana: me too.

Katarina: well I could have some fun, what about you Garen?

Garen: I don't know...

Katarina: come on, you should really relax more.

Garen: well... alright.

Lux: I'm going too, this time I'll definitely win.

And with that me, Aki, Garen, Lux and Katarina went to the arcade, We spent a couple hours there and the more I stay the more I like this place.

maybe I can bring Grey here sometime, even if he doesn't know what an arcade game is I'm sure he would enjoy it... I think.

Garen was better than his sister, and speaking of Lux... she was losing... again, meanwhile Katarina was actually pretty good at shooting games although she seemed a little... too excited to kill in them.

Meanwhile I was playing a fighting game with Aki, Fighter Street I think it's name, and I actually lost.

Ahri: oh come on!

Aki: wow... I-I actually won.

Garen: well you are a summoner, you should be used to this kind of thing.

Ahri: (sigh) I guess your right.

We stayed playing until early afternoon, we left for launch and sat down on a table.

Annie: hi everyone.

Annie joined us and sat down besides me and Aki.

Ahri: hi Annie, how are you today?

Annie mad a coughing noise and raised Tibbers.

Ahri: oh and Tibbers too?

Now I realized Grey always remembered to ask about Tibbers too.

Annie: we're great, where's Grey?

Ahri: I'm sorry Annie but he left for a mission from the high summoners.

Annie: awww, Grey is never around when we want to play.

Ahri: he didn't really have a choice, he did tell us to say hi to you and Tibbers from him.

Annie: I guess your right.

I started playing with my food using my spoon, I'd be lying if I said I'm not kinda depressed.

Annie: hey Ahri, what's wrong?

Ahri: I'm... just worried about Grey I guess.

Annie: it's ok, Grey is really strong, I'm sure he's going to be ok.

Ahri: yeah, I guess your right.

She Is right, I saw Grey fight and I'm sure he can take care of himself.

Grey POV:

I was traveling for a few hours now and still no sign of the potential champion, I ran into a few jungle beasts but I took care of them.

I was finishing off another one of those lizard like creatures.

Grey: wow this place really is like the road of sacrifice, but you know with less crow winged hollows.

I started walking but then stopped as something was shot in the back of my shoulder, I reached my arm and pulled it off and saw it was some kind of dart, I saw some liquid fall from the tip.

Grey: poison, not good.

I pulled out some purple moss to cure whatever it is, but then a rope under my feet was pulled and took me along with it making me drop the moss and dangle upside down.

Grey: oh for the love of Sif.

Being upside down made the poison reach me head faster, I started losing consciousness and everything got plurry, suddenly a figure jumped down in front of me but with my vision I couldn't see them clearly, all I could make out is a feminine figure with piercing green eyes, the figure started approaching me and then... everything went black.

(A/N hi thank you for taking time to read this, I really hope everyone is enjoying the story so far, I would also like to hear your thoughts on the abilities I picked for Grey)
