The room was silent. Katarina was right, they had to prepare because sooner or later the Void creatures will have to die. ¨You mean YOU are going to prepare; we have no experience in fighting; especially against beings from another dimension¨ Matt crossed his arms, he was right, they were mere humans and even though Kat, Leo and Cait were humans as well, they had some previous experience on the rift.
¨We can train you. Teach you the ropes on how to defend yourselves, that way in case you are in trouble you can do something more than just run and hide¨ Caitlyn walked to Matt and gave him the rifle ¨You already know how to handle my gun… but you still have a long way to become a proficient sharpshooter¨
Claire pushed Matt to the side and stood in front of Caitlyn with a happy face. ¨You're telling me that we are going to be champions? League champions?¨ She was happy and jumping like a rabbit in the same place. Katarina sighed, she knew she was dealing with a small kid ¨Not really; Summoners at the institute were able to, well, summon us whenever there was a match. However only a few were selected to be bound with champions and carry important missions for the Institute and their City-States¨
¨However since not every Summoner was trained for a real fight, their bond allowed them to use the same powers as their champions. Also they were allowed to use their Summoner spells outside of the Institute and the Rift¨ Leona spoke from the couch looking at the Summoner.
¨What if one of us dies? ¨ Nick asked a bit worried while the rest looked at him ¨Then the bond is broken. In case the Summoner dies the champion gets released and may be bound to another Summoner. Besides, Summoners are not allowed to be bound to two champions at the same time. Someone tried to be bound to more than one champion but…¨ The Radiant Dawn's voice trailed off.
¨But what?¨ Nick asked to his champion but the silence of the ginger was evident.
Katarina grabbed the scarf and hat that were hanging by the home's entrance ¨It's time to go Claire, the faster you learn the better¨
The redhead grunted putting herself in a teacher mood while Matt was dragging Caitlyn and Claire to the front door ¨Yeah we'll leave too. Claire has to train, you need to train. And I have to use this beauty¨ Matt said to his friend while kissing Cait's rifle as if it was his.
¨Yeah yeah. We'll talk soon¨ Nick scratched the back of his head and walked towards Leona as his friends left the house. ¨So… are we going to start?¨ Nick smirked as she crossed her legs
¨We are not, you are not ready¨ The boy was surprised, he and Matt managed to take down Caitlyn on their own, well barely.
¨What do you mean by that? I am prepared to harness the power of the Sun¨ Leona stood up from the couch and walked to the kitchen, placing her hands on her hips and sighed.
¨Nick you must understand, this is no longer the game you played on your… machine. There are champions out there, champions who will not hesitate to murder you. As a Summoner your duty is very important¨ Nick turned on his computer and sat, still looking at the ginger.
¨Then if I can't use your powers, what am I supposed to do? Sit here and wait until the world is consumed?¨ Nick shook his head and looked at the screen, searching for more information about the champions around the world.
¨You will be ready in due time, but first you must learn how to use your Summoner spells¨ Leona said with a serene voice as she moved a chair from the table and placed it at the side of Nick ¨Summoners must be prepared in both physical and mental conditions¨ she smiled and hugged her Summoner from the side which made Nick blush but he turned his head to the window so the Radiant Dawn couldn't see his red cheeks.
(February 4th. 2015 – 03:25 PM – Claire's House, New York, Earth)
Claire was on the ground panting, tired of the training that only lasted less than two hours ¨Maybe your sister should be the one that's getting prepared¨ Katarina extended her hand helping Claire back up; Liz was looking at his sister trying to teleport onto a small distance, Katarina was teaching Claire the Summoner spell Flash but it was useless as she wasn't moving a single inch ¨Keep doing it until you move to where I am. Just remember: Try to focus on where you are standing and where you want to go. Make sure to isolate every possible sound outside of your head¨
Claire nodded, she closed her eyes and stood still trying to focus on where Katarina was standing. ¨(I have to do this, Kat and Liz are counting on me, I need to do it for my sister)¨ Claire thought as she opened her eyes and saw the ceiling, she fell to the ground again but this time she was in the kitchen instead of the living room ¨Why am I in the kitchen?¨
Liz and Kat walked towards the downed Summoner and helped her sit ¨It was incredible sister! You disappeared from the living room and appeared right behind me¨ Confused, Claire looked at the assassin who was smiling at her.
¨Your sister is right, you managed to use Flash, even though you landed a bit far from where I told you¨ The three chuckled and helped Claire stand up again.
¨So I guess we can move on to the next spell right?¨ Claire smiled but Kat crossed her arms and shook her head.
¨I said you managed to pull out a Flash, but the lesson is not over. We will keep working on it until I say so ¨ Katarina dragged Claire to the living room and both stood on their original locations ¨No time to waste. Come on! Flash to me¨

¨I've seen many cowardly Summoners but you are definitely in the top of that list¨ Caitlyn shouted at Matt as he was running from the aim of her rifle.
¨Does that thing never run out of ammo?!¨ Matt kept running in his backyard until he hid behind a tree where Caitlyn couldn't get a clear shot of him.
¨How are you going to become a Summoner if you don't trust me?¨ Matt's lesson was simple yet it required him to gain some confidence over his teacher ¨Get out of the tree and we'll start again¨
The scared blonde came out of the tree slowly, being once again under Caitlyn's aim ¨Focus, think about a big bubble that will protect you from any incoming damage¨
Matt frowned ¨You do it every time on the Rift. Please don't be that bad with me. Maybe if you had your fuzzy cuffs here, maybe I'll get some motivation¨ Matt chuckled but apparently it didn't make any fun to Caitlyn as she started to shoot at the blonde.
¨Think fast!¨ Caitlyn shouted at him, the Summoner screamed and closed his eyes, but soon those screams were muffled with silence.
The scared boy looked at the sheriff and saw he was surrounded by a yellow barrier that stopped every bullet that was shot at him, after the barrage was over Matt blinked and his bubble disappeared. ¨What did you do?¨
The sheriff walked towards her Summoner who was confused about him being alive¨I... I don't know, I was thinking about what you said, the bubble and that stuff¨
Caitlyn frowned, he was hiding something ¨ I can detect if someone is lying to me Matt, I was not called sheriff of Piltover for a reason¨
Matt chuckled ¨Mind if we take a small break? I feel exhausted after you shot me for the entire afternoon¨ Caitlyn grunted but it was no use a tired Summoner ¨Fine¨ They both walked to the garden chairs that were under the tree. ¨So sheriff, can you tell me more about your life back at Piltover?¨
Cait was surprised, wasn't there to have that kind of conversation ¨Why do you wish to know about me? Didn't you guys told me that the game gave you information about me?¨ Matt chuckled, it was natural for him that everything was funny.
¨League gives us a bit of information, not your entire lo- story. By the way… do you miss your people back at Piltover? Your friends? ¨ That question made Caitlyn think about her city and people. Matt could see his friend's face was now a sad one, he hit a tight spot.
¨I do, this city may be like Piltover in some way but it's not the same without people like Ezreal, Jayce or Vi. I miss my home¨ Matt felt bad for making such question to his champion.
He placed his hand on top of hers ¨I can't promise anything but if there is something I'm sure of. If all of the known champions are in this world, then your friends must be here as well and I will help you find it¨ Cait's hand embraced Matt's as they looked at each other for a few seconds, there was only silence between them but when they left out of the trance their faces blushed.
¨I-I… guess we should go back to training¨ The blonde suggested and the sheriff nodded standing up from her chair and grabbing the rifle.
(February 4th. 2015 – 09:30 PM – Nick's House, New York, Earth)
Nick was in his bedroom, all lights turned off, on his bed a sleeping Leona tired of an exhaustive training. ¨ (I guess that's how champions feel when you use Exhaust on them)¨ The ginger taught Nick the Summoner spell Exhaust, which was quite easy for him to learn and use. But since nobody else as the target, Leona had to be that target. Nick gave her a kiss on the forehead and closed the door behind him. He walked towards his computer and sat searching for more info on more champions ¨(Wonder if Claire and Matt had an easy training as well)¨
The raven haired boy yawned looking at some videos on the internet where couldn't get much information about other champions. He turned off the computer and prepared up the couch, or as Nick wanted to call it his bed, he turned off all of the lights and rested on his bed closing his eyes but something stopped him from doing so. There was a weird sound coming from the front door, Nick stood up and grab the flashlight from the kitchen and walked to the outside of the house to inspect the strange noises.
¨Anybody out here? I'm gonna call the cops if you don't leave¨ The Summoner looked at his sides to check if there was anybody nearby but it was complete silence. ¨ I'm just paranoid. Me being a Summoner, the Void creatures. Just need to rest. Everything will get solved soon¨ Nick whispered and started to walk back to his home but he got ambushed when three small creatures jumped on his head making him fall to the ground.
¨Quickly! Tie him and take him into the building¨ The high pitched voice of one of the kidnappers was familiar to Nick but he couldn't see any of them as they put a blindfold and dragged him into his house.
¨Who are you, what do you want from me?¨ Nick shouted hoping for the sleeping champion to hear him.
¨Silence tall man! We have investigated you since we came here Summoner, and now you are going to assist us in the name of Bandle city!¨
