Grey POV:

My morning... was not a happy one.

I'm just having breakfast and I already had to stop Ahri and Nidalee from fighting twice.

We were sitting with Ezreal, Lux, Garen and Aki, and right now me sitting between Ahri and Nidalee is the only thing keeping them from killing each other.

Silver was near the table having his own breakfast, we managed to get him a bowl and some meat.

Ezreal: sooo... Grey, you said you have a story for us?

Grey: oh yeah! The mace.

Nidalee: yes it's quite the story, (smug smile) of how me and Grey fought together.

Ahri was pretty much glaring holes into Nidalee, I can swear I saw her make a spirit orb between her tails ready to throw it.

Grey: Ezreal, do you remember how we fought the outrider knight from my world?

Ezreal: yeah?

Grey: well we fought something else that came from my world.

Everyone's attention was on me immediately after that, I got explaining what happened, How I met Nidalee, finding Silver which the girls coed at, fighting Vordt, but the jumping over a cliff part.

(Slap)

Earned me a slap in the head from Ahri.

Ahri: didn't I tell you to not take risks like that?

Grey: no you didn't, and even if you did do you really think I would have listened.

(Slap)

That just earned me another smack, I continued telling the story, when I told of Demacia, Garen wasn't happy about that.

Garen: you broke into the royal castle! Why didn't you just ask?

Grey: we did, but they didn't let us, and we got two guards fired because of it, Tom and Phill I think.

Garen: (smile) oh! then all is excused.

Wow, apparently no one likes those two, I finished my story by the time I finished breakfast.

After I was done I got up and called for Silver, he climbed onto my shoulder and sat there.

Ahri: Grey where are you going?

Grey: I'm going to visit Zyra, I haven't seen her in a while.

Nidalee: that... name sounds familiar, mind if I tag along?

Grey: not at all, the more the merrier.

Ahri: then I'll come too, you don't mind, do you?

Grey: sure, now let's ju-

???: Deeeeeaaaaath~

I immediately stopped when I heard an echo In my head, I started looking around for the source but I didn't see any.

Ahri: Grey? Something wrong?

Grey: ... no... it's nothing, let's get going now.

Ezreal: hey do you mind if I tag along? I would like seeing the garden again.

Grey: are you saying that to use me as a distraction for Zyra while you study her children?

Ezreal: ... (points at Grey) you can't prove anything.

Lux: that's a yes.

Ezreal: hey!

Grey: let's just go.

Third POV:

Grey, Ahri, Nidalee, Ezreal and Silver who's on Grey's shoulder make their way to the garden and once they enter they noticed that it was quiet... very quiet.

The usual sounds of birds are no longer there, the only thing that can be heard is the sound of running water.

Grey: this is... strange, Zyra, are you here?

Zyra appeared but she looked... cautious, she was looking around as if she was in danger.

Zyra: hello Grey, a pleasure to meet you again.

Grey: hello Zyra, this is a new champion, her name is Nidalee.

Nidalee and Zyra looked at each other and they both gained a blank look.

Nidalee/Zyra: oh... you.

Grey: do you two know each other?

Nidalee: yes, we met in the jungle a few times.

Zyra: we didn't have any problems, but we didn't get along either.

Grey started looking around at the garden's state, he looked at Zyra to notice she was still nervous.

Grey: Zyra? Is something wrong?

Ahri: yeah, you look like you've seen a ghost.

Zyra: (whisper) I might as well have... (shakes head) s-sorry, but I just had some rather... unsettling guests.

Grey: are you alrig-

???: Deeeeeaaaaath~

Grey stopped hearing the voice again only more clearly, he looked at the source and found it deep in the garden.

Ezreal: Grey?

Grey: something... is calling.

Grey start running deeper into the garden, the others looked at each other and then follow him.

When Grey reached his destination he saw two figures, one was white coverd in slight white fur and wearing a black mask, the other was a wolf's head with a phantom body and a white mask.

The wolf was circling the white figure while it held a weird bow, Silver popped out of Grey's shoulder but immediately started whimpering at the sight of the figures.

The others reached Grey and when Ezreal saw the figures he started becoming as nervous as Zyra, if not more.

The white figure turned around and looked at them while the wolf was still moving around them, Ahri and Nidalee looked at the figures curious but before they asked Ezreal spoke.

Ezreal: o-oh! H-Hi Kindred(nervous chuckle).

Ahri/Nidalee: THAT'S KINDRED!?!

Both of them became nervous and a little on guard, Grey was confused about their reaction.

Grey: what's wrong?

Zyra: Kindred is the manifestation of death, Lamp and Wolf.

Ezreal: seeing them is not usually a good sign, but thankfully their champions so since they didn't ask us their question of choosing between them we're fine... mostly.

Grey looked at Kindred and he heard who he assumed was Lamp talking.

Lamp: it seems all still know us, dear Wolf.

Wolf: indeed they do, little Lamp (chuckle).

Grey reached for Silver and sat him on the ground, he started walking to Kindred while the others looked at him in worry.

Grey: are you what's been calling me?

Lamp: mostly.

Wolf: so your what we've been sensing lately, the man from another world.

Lamp: that would explain why we never sensed something like him before.

Wolf: indeed it does, little Lamp.

Grey: why did you bring me here?

Wolf: because you interest us.

Lamp: we represent death, yet we feel that you are like us but different.

Grey: that is because I am a lord of cinder, I hold the flames of life in me and represents it.

Zyra/Nidalee/Ezreal: (whisper) he's a what?

Ahri: (whisper) quiet, I'll tell you later.

Lamp: you... are not entirely correct.

Grey: what?

Wolf: when you are around, we sense life.

Lamp: death.

Wolf: light.

Lamp: and dark.

Wolf: all at the same time.

Lamp: you might be a being at the same level as Aurelion Sol.

Grey: I... I don't understand.

Lamp: hmmm, it's seems his power is not complete yet, should we help him with his power of death dear Wolf?

Wolf: I don't know, (sniff and grunt) he reeks of that gross undead smell.

Grey: "gross? I bathed this morning"

Lamp: true, but it seems to be a curse, not magic.

Wolf: well, I guess we can't hate him since it's not of his own free will, but let me ask you this, lord of cinder, what do you think of death?

Grey: that it's part of nature, that life cannot exist without it.

Wolf: (chuckle) good answer.

Lamp: and what of those who return from death?

Grey: fools that are only asking for madness.

Wolf: (laugh) this one gets how the world works.

Lamp: I suppose we can give him a little advice then.

Wolf moved and started circling Grey.

Wolf: if you wish for the power of death, then simply spread it.

Lamp: see the life in the mortals, and know it's your's to take.

Wolf: know that either they live or die, is your choice.

Lamp: that they only get to choose how they die, and nothing else.

Wolf: that is all we'll tell you, Lord of Cinder.

Wolf moved back with Lamp and they started leaving.

Grey: wait, I-I still don't understand.

Kindred: you will soon, till we meet again, Lord of Cinder.

With that Kindred left, Grey turned around and returned to his friends, Silver immediately jumped to his shoulder.

Ezreal: I swear those two are gonna give me a heart attack one day... which their suppose to anyway... I just hope Wolf isn't hungry then.

Zyra: he always is.

Ahri: Grey what was that about?

Grey: I'm... not sure.

Nidalee: they talked like you three were the same species or like that.

Grey: like I said, I don't know.

Everyone can see that the air was tense, they tried to think of anything to say and that's when Ahri thought of something.

Ahri: hey... I just remembered that Aki said you're new skin should come out today Grey, wanna go and see it.

Grey: sure.

They started making their way to the dining hall, on the way, Grey explained what a Lord of Cinder is.

Ezreal: WHAT?!?

Grey: what's wrong?

Nidalee: what do you mean what's wrong? You literally have the fate of an entire world in you're hands!

Grey: yes, my world, in this one a Lord of cinder is a title no has ever heard of.

Zyra: still you should give yourself some credit.

Nidalee: why didn't you mention this before.

Ahri: (smug smile) it seems you two aren't so close after all.

Nidalee started glaring at Ahri, she started raising her spear and Grey was worried a fight will break down, but thankfully they reached the others sitting together.

Lux: hey guys! How's the garden.

Ezreal: it... was good I guess.

Garen: what happened?

Grey: well... as one of my old friends would say, it seems I'm in quite a pickle, but that's for later, Aki, Ahri told me I have a new skin?

Aki: o-oh! Yeah, it was done this morning actually, do you want to try it now or later.

Grey: now actually.

Aki: ok, hold still for a second.

Silver jumps from Grey's shoulder and sit on the table while Aki starts making a few motions with her hands and a light covers Grey, a few seconds later he came out in a new look.

His new clothes were now black, had some leather armor on some parts and his cape was replaced by a dark trench coat.

Instead of his sword he held a long pipe, his knife was replaced by a butcher knife, and his face was now coverd in a gas mask that had green eyes.

Ahri was slightly disappointed that it didn't match her's.

Grey: (muffled voice) so? How does it look?

Ezreal: not bad.

Garen: it looks like you came back from Zaun.

Aki: actually, you're kind of right, the summoners from Zaun made this to thank Grey for helping them in the match a few days ago.

Grey: well, okay, now can you change me back.

Aki: ok.

Aki waved her hands and Grey was back to normal, everyone sat down and started talking.

But Grey was more thinking about his talk with Kindred, it didn't make sense to him, when he thought of death one being came to his head... Nito, the first of the dead.
