In the Lotus Garden, Soraka and Nami take another rejuvenating rest after a match in the mainland. Hoshi was being used a hug pillow for a month ever since his healing ability was discovered. Nami even found that who ever held him for the night would experience dreams that would put even the stingiest person in a good mood. That night it was Soraka's turn, who places him on her belly. Resting on soft grass and under a tree, Soraka and Nami ready for a stormy night. The tree line provided good protection from wind so light rain was the only issue.
"Wonder what I might dream about tonight?" Soraka asks out loud, scratching behind Hoshi's ears.
"Well, you'll find out soon. Let's go to sleep already, I'm getting jealous watching you and Hoshi together." Nami says from a pond next to them.
"Okay, okay. Hopefully we're aren't called tomorrow, I want to share his gift with the others." Soraka says, yawning then falls a sleep.
Wrapping her arms around Hoshi, Nami reaches out and rubs his head before going into a slumber herself. Bruises and fatigue become nothing as the two champions sleep through the light storm. As hours go by, Hoshi is suddenly awaken by a rustling in a nearby grove. Being the curious child that he is, he gently wiggles out of Soraka's embrace and follows the noise. The rain was still light, but the wind picked up. Going further and further, he finally discovers the source of the disturbance. A paper kite stuck in the brush was rustling in the wind. Hoshi investigated further, by pulling on the tail of the kite to free it. Big mistake on his part as a strong gust of wind sends the kite into the air with himi hanging on to dear life.
Shen came into the living room to see his smaller self airborne then returned to the kitchen to prepare more drinks.
"Called it!" Shen's mother yells from the living room to her son.
Miles away, Hoshi was at the mercy of the storm. As he ascends higher, stronger winds greet him with full force and what's worse were the bolts of lightening striking all around him. The storm carries him all the way to the city-state of Demacia where Hoshi is struck by 10 million volts. The surge of electricity burns the kite and Hoshi, sending the two falling like rocks towards the city. The kite turned to ash in seconds while Hoshi tumbles to Demacia, covered in soot. The burnt furball lands on a steep roof, rolling off it like a ramp and bounces off more roof tops, occasionally shaking off soot revealing a bits and pieces of a new Shen. He finally lands in a cardboard box in an alleyway and not just any alleyway, but an alleyway connected to one of the Noble houses, House Buvelle.
The Kinkou family only saw darkness, but it was the soothing sound of a string instrument that kept their attention to the screen.
"What pleasant music."The mother comments.
"Sounds like a zither...or maybe a etwahl." said the father, listening very carefully, completely absorbed.
"Etwahl?...Sona." Shen concludes in his mind, before heading out.
Sona, the Maven of the Strings, was finishing up a song in her room of the Buvelle estate. After the last note carries outside, she suddenly hears a strange version of her song play back. Looking out her window to see a few rays of light pass through grey clouds, she sticks her head out to hear the noise getting louder, in fact she felt it. Sona could see ripples in puddles even though there wasn't any rain and the glass of windows shake without the rumble of an earthquake. Indeed strange as her song continues to play back in a dark blend of baselines and twisted soundscapes. Her attention then went towards the vibrating box sitting next to trash cans that appeared to be hovering over the ground from the extreme frequency being emitted.
The sound subsides and Sona heads outside to investigate the box. Before opening the container, she plays a few notes then hears a remix in return. Sona sets her etwahl aside and slowly opens the lid revealing a a wolf with blue and white fur underneath a red and white hoodie along with a miniaturized headset resting around its neck. Shen just looks up at Sona with his heterochromia eyes: one blue and one gold. She picks him up and takes a closer look at him, wondering if he was the source of the noise, but the headset with a cord going into a backpack may answer her question. Resting him on her lap, she opens the small pouch on his back to find only a roll of cord. The plug at the ending of the headphones though looked familiar as it seemed compatible with her etwahl.
Setting her instrument back in front of her, Shen places his paws on it as he watches Sona plug in his headset into a socket.
"What's this thing called? What's this thing called?" A high pitch voice sounds in Sona's head.
"H-hello?" She asks the wondering voice.
"Hello!"
Sona looks around at first thinking that a summoner was nearby, but suddenly feels something lightly push on her chest. Looking down, she sees Shen standing on his hind legs, using her chest as support.
"He-He-Hello!" He said, giving a delighted expression in which Sona was left baffled.
Shen came back into the living room with his TPA outfit and a bag of peaches.
"I guess another change occurred while I was gone." Shen says, setting down the fruit on the table.
"Yep. This is the first Shen to wear human clothes too. How cute." His mother comments, cutting the peaches into slices and laughing.
