??? POV:

It's this dream again... this weird dream.

I find myself in this wasteland, and I find myself in a hill that leads to this field.

When I look around, I find castles and buildings all look destroyed and even burned to the point where they melted, honestly it looks like the world ended.

The most obvious feature was the sun, it looked like an eclipse was happening, but this one was different, the light was fiery orange and a line of light was connected to it leading to the hill.

Despite my bitter judgment, I started walking up the hill, and when I reached the top, my eyes widen at the sight.

It was a field of beautiful white flowers, the flowers were on fire yet somehow weren't burning, but that wasn't what caught my attention.

What had my attention was what's in the middle, there was a weird sword with a spiral blade that was coiled In a dying flame.

Near the sword was a man in a very old, very burned armor, it had rags connected to the chest area, and the helmet had a crown like shape on it's back.

I start walking through the flower field, and when I reach him, he stands up, grab the sword and pull it out so strong that it shook the ground.

He looks at me holding the sword... yet... I don't feel threatened at all.

I notice something else, on his neck, he was wearing a necklace... no, an emblem of sorts.

It looked old, had a deep shade of green and a wolf's head in it... then... he spoke.

Knight: you do not speak words, yet you need none for me to hear you.

I couldn't make out his voice, there was too much echo In it, like a hundred person speaking at the same time.

Then the light of the eclipse started fading, and everything was going dark.

Knight: even after the fire fades, and the age of dark begins, a new age of fire shall begin, and it shall be ignited by the embers left by lords long past.

The light completely fades... and then... I woke up.

Third POV:

A woman has awoken from her sleep, she got up from her bed and slid her feet to the ground.

Near her bed was an odd instrument with strings.

She walked up to the mirror and saw her reflection.

She was a woman with blue hair and eyes, she was wearing a sleeping rope, she sighed and messaged her head.

Woman: "maybe I should see Soraka about that dream"

She decided to leave it for now and get along with her morning.

Somewhere in the Institute:

Grey just woke up in Nidalee's bed, he got up and stretched.

He saw that Nidalee wasn't there so he had a bath and exited to see both her and Ahri getting ready for something.

Grey: good morning.

Ahri/Nidalee: morning.

Grey: so what are you up to?

Ahri: we're all free today, Lux is taking me and Aki to the arcade, she keeps saying she's going to win but I don't think so.

Nidalee: I'm going back to the jungle to bring back a few things, the Institute built a transport station near it so I'll be back by sunset.

Grey: oh... alright I guess... hey, where's Silver?

Ahri: Annie showed up a few minutes earlier and took him for a walk.

Grey: oh... well have fun.

Ahri/Nidalee: bye.

With that they both left.

Grey POV:

I just finished putting back my armor, I took my emblem and looked at it, the one thing that's been with me my entire life.

Grey: I guess I'm on my own now.

Maybe I should see what Brite is doing... what am I saying, he's obviously somewhere telling someone to praise the sun.

Grey: well, I guess I'll go to the garden, hopefully Zyra will give me some company.

I got off the couch and got out of the room, as I started making my way to the garden I started thinking of what to do today.

Grey: maybe I can go see the gym, even take Vordt's mace to train a little.

I turned a corner and was still thinking-

(Thud)

My thoughts were interrupted when I bumped into someone, I stayed on my feet while they fell.

When I looked at them... I have to admit I was a little awe struck.

It was a woman, and honestly she might be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

She had blue hair into pigtails that ended a shade of yellow on the tips.

She wore a shoulderless blue dress with light blue ropes connected to it and strapless sleeves.

Besides her was an instrument that apparently fell from her, she shook her head and opened her eyes to look at me.

I realized that she was still on the ground so I knelt down and offered my hand.

Grey: pardon me, I was absorbed in thought, are you alright?

The woman smiled and nodded taking my hand, I helped her up and was about to get her instrument when she waved he hand and it flew in front of her.

Grey: I'm really sorry, I hope you didn't get hurt.

She shook her head, something isn't right here.

Grey: excuse me, but why aren't you speaking?

She smiled sadly and looked down, then I realized what it meant, because I saw it before.

Grey: you... can't speak, can you?

She nodded with a still sad smile, I tried to think of something, and then remembered something that might brighten her up.

Grey: do you at least know sign language?

She looked at me more happily and nodded, then started motioning with her hands.

(A/N [ ] this means sign language)

Woman: [yes, I do, I'm surprised you know it].

Grey: I had a friend that couldn't speak either, so I learned how to read it to communicate with him, but I only know how to read it.

Woman: [really?]

Grey: yes, he's name was Lorian, anyway are you a champion? You don't look like a summoner.

Woman: [yes I am, I'm Sona, maven of the strings, and your... the Abyss watcher, right?]

Grey: yes, but my real name is Grey Ashnex, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Sona: [you too, so where were you going? If you don't mind me asking]

Grey: I was going to the garden to spend some time there, would you like to join me?

Sona: (raises eye brow) [doesn't Zyra keep everyone out of the garden?]

Grey: she let's me come from time to time, as long as you don't harm her children she'll be fine with you.

Sona: [alright, I like the garden, but like I said, Zyra keeps everyone out]

Grey: just stay with me and you should be fine.

She nodded and started floating slightly off the ground, we started making our way to the garden after that.

Sona POV:

I never expected to meet the abyss watcher today, I heard of him from Lux and the summoners, and so far I find some of what I heard is true.

He's nice, and I'm surprised that Zyra allows him to go to the garden, but I'm not gonna decline an offer like that.

Unlike most people, he didn't judge me because I couldn't speak, but I wonder why he covers his face, I didn't ask because I didn't want to sound rude.

We reached the garden and it was beautiful, it's amazing how Zyra maintain it.

Speaking of her she appeared when we entered.

Zyra: hello Grey, you're with the Maven this time.

Grey: good morning Zyra, and yes I hope you don't mind.

Zyra: no, but sadly I can't stay with you, I have a match to attend, while I'm gone please don't hurt my children, because I'll know if you do.

Grey: oh... very well, I wish you luck.

Zyra nods and heads to the gates, but then stops and looks back.

Zyra: also Grey... your covering you're face again.

Grey: oh, sorry.

He reached up and lowered his cloak, and... I was really stunned... why would he cover a face like that?! It should be a crime for crying out loud!

In the corner of my eye I saw Zyra smirking, I guess she knew I would react like that.

I shook my head getting my blush under control just in time for Grey to look at me.

Grey: well what would you like to do?

Sona: (thinking)... [how about we just sit down, enjoy the scenery and talk?]

Grey: sure.

Me and Grey find a place to sit down, we started looking around the garden and making some small talk every now and then.

I have to admit, he's not like the other men I met before.

For starters, unlike most men that I met, when we're talking, he's actually looking me in the eye or my hand signs and not looking at my... chest would be the appropriate word.

Secondly, he treats me like a normal person, he's not bothered by the fact that I can't speak.

He told me a little about himself, and why he was alone today, It was really annoying how he's friends just ditched him, but he doesn't think like that.

After almost half an hour, Garen entered the garden and walked up to us.

Garen: ah there you are Sona, I was looking for you, and Grey, it's good to see you again.

Grey: likewise Garen, so do you need something? You look quite troubled.

Garen: (sigh) I am my friend, you see lately there been dangerous weather around Demacia and lighting storms, house Buvelle asked me to guard Sona just in case, but King Jarvan is headed to Noxus to negotiate with Swain on peace, even with the Institute there's still some conflict, and I'm supposed to guard him with Xin Zhao.

Grey: so that means you can't guard Sona.

Garen: indeed.

Garen was in thought as he scratched the back of his neck, he then looked between me and Grey.

Garen: Grey, would you mind doing me a favor?

Grey: sure, what is it?

Garen: would you please guard Sona in my place.

We were both a little taken back by the request, I didn't exactly know how to feel about it.

Grey: uhmm... are you sure, I mean, would house Buvelle allow it?

Garen: all I have to do is say your close friends with me and the prince, and not to mention the match you fought with Demacia a few days ago, plus it's only till I returne tomorrow night.

Grey: well... it's up to Sona I guess.

I thought about it, Grey is a nice guy, and I would like to spend some time with him, plus he did say he was free.

Sona: [sure, I don't mind]

Garen: so... was that a yes or a no?

Grey: she said it was ok.

Garen: oh... sorry, I never had time to learn sign language, anyway, I'll tell the high summoners so you can be excused from matches.

Grey: thank you.

Garen nods and takes his leave, Grey stands up and offers me his hand, I take it and when I'm fully standing I float slightly off the ground and bring my etwahl besides me.

Grey: so what would you like to do now.

I started thinking, he's going to be with me until tomorrow.

Sona: [why don't we go to Demacia, I can show you around while being my bodyguard]

Grey: sure, I don't have any better ideas.

Third POV:

Grey and Sona leave the garden and start heading to the transport station, once they reach there, a female summoner stood attention.

Summoner: hello champions, are you here to go somewhere.

Grey: yes, we'd like to go to Demacia please.

The summoners looked at Grey and she blushed slightly, she stared for a few seconds before regaining her senses.

Summoner: o-oh, sure just stand in the circle please.

Sona and Grey nod and they both stand in the circle, the summoner motioned with her hands and then they both vanished.

The summoner sighed and sat down.

Summoner: my friends are gonna get jealous when they hear I saw the abyss watchers face and talked to him.

Back with Grey and Sona, they just arrived in Demacia and exited the transport station.

Grey: so what should we do first?

At that moment, his stomach growled, he blushed and looked away while Sona chuckled without making a sound.

Sona: [let's get something to eat firsr].

Grey: sorry, I didn't have any breakfast.

Sona: [well your in luck, I know the best cafe to get breakfast around, follow me].

Grey nods and starts following Sona, on their way he sees a mountain in the distance.

But what caught his attention was that it was covered in clouds and lighting cracked in them.

Grey: hey Sona, what's with that storm.

Sona stopped and looked at what Grey was talking about before turning back to him.

Sona: [I don't know, it showed up last night and was there since]

Grey: oh, alright.

Sona and Grey continued going through the streets of Demacia.

However, Grey felt unsettled by that storm, something about it... was unnatural.

But he put that thought in the back of his head, he was going to have breakfast with Sona, surely whatever is in that storm can wait.
