(March 1st. 2015 – 7:20 PM – Claire's House, New York, Earth)
Ralzith, Claire and Katarina were standing on one side while Irelia was on the other one aiming the blades at the three; although the Summoners raised their hands Katarina drew her knives.
¨Why should I help you?¨ Irelia turned her head at Katarina ¨Your people raided my home, slaughtered innocent people¨ She then looked at Ralzith ¨And you betrayed the Institute, not only that, but you also broke my heart. So I ask you again, why should I help you two? ¨
¨Because you are the person we need to defeat Malzahar, without you, Valoran, the Earth and my sister will be lost forever¨ Claire tried to step forward but the blade aimed at her moved closer to the Summoner's throat.
¨You don't know how much I suffered. I was at Ionia meditating, and the next thing I know is that I am stranded in this world, no sign of other Champions¨ The blades seemed to get weaker, they were controlled by Irelia's will ¨Then I noticed that there are Summoners here, although not as powerful as you two. The days passed and I had no option but to make an alliance with Lissandra but… she only used me to find the small pieces of her army before turning me into an ice block¨ The Will of the Blades was looking at her hands, then at her whole body, it was certain that she was also surprised by how her body changed ¨And now I am different, I feel different¨
¨Ire…¨ Ralzith gave a few steps forward; the four blades were now aiming at him ¨I am sure that there aren't enough words to say sorry but it is true, we need you and if you don't help this girl, more people will suffer a worse destiny than death!¨ He kept moving forward until he was just a few centimeters away from the Ionian Champion ¨I'm not asking you to forgive me, or forget what Noxus did to our land-¨
¨Our land?! You betrayed us when you swore allegiance to the Overlord. Everyone knew your soul was lost but I still hoped that you remember who your friends were, where you belonged to… who you loved¨ Irelia's voice was still weak, yet furious.
¨The only way I see is that you kill me right now, that way my soul shall rest and go with all of the fallen Ionians from the past¨ He extended his arms and closed his eyes, waiting for Irelia to finish the Summoner.
The Will of the Blades was hesitating, the blades were aiming at Ralzith's heart, behind him both Katarina and Claire had a smile on their faces, knowing that Irelia wouldn't kill the person she loved.
¨The true love is stronger than-¨ Claire muttered but she got interrupted when the blades penetrated Ralzith's body.
The Summoner fell on his knees, blood pouring from his body as the four blades were still stuck in his chest. However both noxians stood there, but Irelia moved towards the kneeled Summoner, she was sobbing. The blades disappeared; Irelia placed her head over Ralzith's shoulder.
¨I'm… I'm sorry. I know you betrayed us, but you were still the same person for me. After all you did, I forgive you¨ Irelia was still crying, her arms moved around the Summoner's neck, she gave him a kiss on the cheek, probably the last one.
Katarina and Claire saw that scene, they did not shed a tear but they were worried, without him they needed to find another Summoner to help them defeat the Overlord. Suddenly Irelia screamed, the three of them saw that one of Ralzith's arms was moving around the Ionian's body, giving her a small hug, he got closer to her ear, a slight smirk of happiness on his face.
¨I… forgive… you¨ The Summoner was slowly standing up, dragging Irelia along with him.
¨But… You should've died!¨ Claire shouted. It was a miracle how the blades that punctured his heart didn't do any damage to him.
¨Remember what happened to Nick? This is the same¨ Katarina said, the other three were looking at her, especially her Summoner who was curious ¨When you are bound to a Champion you become stronger, and that means that you won't die that easily. However this only works once, if you `die´ again, there is no salvation¨
¨Why didn't you told us that?!¨ The noxians Summoner shouted, crossing her arms.
¨Because if you knew that you were given a second chance, you wouldn't worry about death¨ Ralzith said, he said in a weak tone. He was about to fall to the ground again but Irelia was the one who dragged him to the bed, the two of them fell over the mattress.
¨We still need your answer Irelia. Will you help us defeat the Overlord? ¨ Claire extended her arm, waiting for the Will of Blades to do the same but she sighed.
¨I fought long enough to defend everything I believed in. Now I am forced to fight alongside the Traitor of the Institute and an assassin from Noxus…¨ Irelia sighed ¨… but the only way to preserve the peace in both worlds is to help you¨ She then proceeded to extend her arm as the two girls shook their hands.
(March 1st. 2015 – 8:00 PM – Matt's House, New York, Earth)
The couple was cuddling at the sofa, tired after a day of battling; both had some bandages around their body, especially Matt who tried to protect Caitlyn. On the other side of the house, Vi was taking a shower but the sound of the water coming down was no longer heard, instead the door to the room was opened, revealing the enforcer covering her body with a towel, there was still water coming from her dyed hair.
¨Yo, I know I said this everytime but I love to take a hot shower here. It's like home; I can hardly tell the difference¨ Vi said as she walked to the bedroom, closing the door behind her. The couple was on their own world, they didn't paid attention to the enforcer.
¨This is it, we rescued Irelia, we have the Crystal. Now we need to defeat Malzahar, and everything will be back to normal¨ Matt gave Caitlyn a soft kiss, while tickling her back.
¨Not everything¨ Caitlyn whispered, the Summoner looked at her with curiosity ¨Once all of the problems are dealt with. Will you stick with me and Vi?¨
¨Of course I will, you are my girlfriend and Vi is a good friend¨
¨Matt, listen to me. I'm talking about if you want to come with us to Piltover once this is done¨ The sheriff looked Matt in the eyes, she wanted to be with him.
¨Uh… I don't know Cait; I have a life here, friends and family. I know people tend to get sad when you tell them you are moving away, but we are talking about a different world…¨ The Summoner sighed, he rested his head on the back of the sofa, looking at the ceiling ¨I'll do it¨ The response from him made Caitlyn happy, she smiled and kissed Matt again, she then moved her head and rested over his legs.
¨You make a nice pillow sometimes¨ She closed her eyes with a nice smile on her face.
¨Well, the same goes for your breasts…¨ Matt whispered, while the sheriff just gave him a punch to the stomach.
¨Hey shit for brains, come to your bedroom now!¨ The voice of Vi coming from the other side of the house attracted the attention of the couple.
¨What does she want now?¨ Matt sighed, the sheriff moved her head and rested it over a cushion until he came back.
The pink haired walked to the bedroom, once inside, all of the lights except the one in the nightstand were turned off. The enforcer was sitting in the bed, wearing a white transparent nightgown where the Summoner could see the black lingerie Vi was wearing. With a smile on her face the left hand was tapping over the mattress, signaling Matt to come to her side.
¨Oh god, please don't tell me you called me here because you wanted to have some kinky time with me¨ Matt sighed, he was about to leave but the enforcer quickly stepped in his way, blocking the door.
¨I called you here because this is my token of gratitude¨ She was speaking with a sultry voice, with every word she spoke Vi gave a step forward while Matt was just giving one back.
¨Grati- Just… how does this count as gratitude?¨ He kept going a few steps back until he landed on the bed, without doubting Vi jumped on top of him, she was already unbuttoning the nightgown ¨What if Cait finds us like this? She is gonna-¨ The enforcer placed a finger on his lips.
¨Cupcake won't bother us, especially since she is the type of person who needs a lot of effort to wake up. I bet that she is already asleep¨ Vi said while removing the shirt from the Summoner.
Matt tried to resist but Vi was stronger than him and was the one controlling the entire situation. Without him noticing she already removed his pants leaving both of them only in their underwear, she got closer to his face and dropped a soft kiss on his lips.
¨I overheard what you two were talking, it would be nice to have you at Piltover, that way I can show you my… secret workshop¨ She whispered those last words into the Summoner's ear before giving him another kiss, this time in his neck.
¨Vi… I don't like this. Stop… please¨ Matt was ecstatic, he was actually enjoying, although he didn't wanted to cheat on Caitlyn that way.
¨Why stop? You are not opposing to this, so I take that as you are enjoying it¨ She grabbed the Summoner's hands and made it touch her skin, it was cold, yet quite smooth. Matt's hand went from Vi's belly and started to go up until it reached the enforcer's breasts, his fingers went underneath the bra allowing him to touch the piltovian's nipples. ¨Your hands… they are so fragile¨
The Summoner moved his hands to the girl's back, removing the bra and freeing the bouncy pillows ¨Caitlyn… sorry¨ From his left eye, a small tear was shed, this was noticed by the enforcer who just looked at that watery drop.
Vi removed Matt's hands from her breasts as she stepped away from the bed, grabbing all of the nightclothes she had ¨Get out, and don't ever spill a word of what you've done here¨ The Champion grabbed the Summoner's clothes and threw them at his face.
¨What… I-I don't get it¨ Matt rose up from the bed, putting on his clothes again, still confused.
¨JUST GO!¨ Vi opened the door of the bedroom and pushed the owner out of it, closing the door with the keys.
Matt looked behind before the door got closed and saw the Champion with an embarrassed look on her face. He turned once again and saw Caitlyn looking at him from the couch, she was worried.
¨What happened with Vi? Was she crying?¨ Caitlyn rose giving the Summoner some space for him to sit at her side.
¨No… she… I told her about going to Piltover, and she was so emotive about it that it might be possible that she shed a tear!¨ Matt gave a fake smile, the sheriff cuddled him and closed her eyes, bringing up a smile as well.
¨That's good. You know… I have seen Summoners or even outsiders fall in love with Champions, but we are different¨
¨How so? I'm a Summoner so I don't know what's different¨ Matt gave hear a kiss on the forehead.
¨You are not from my world¨ Caitlyn chuckled ¨ It's funny how a month ago I appeared in your bedroom and you thought I was just a girl with some sort of costume. But now, look at us, we fought against the Void creatures, the Frostguard, we survived all that and we are cuddling here¨ She stopped to think for a few seconds ¨Matt, do you believe in Destiny?¨
¨I do believe all things occur for a reason. What, do you think it was the Destiny who wanted us to be together? The pink haired looked at her, he was still giving his cute smile that the sheriff always loved.
¨The fact that I come from a world where there's magic and non-human creatures. Why not? Everything is possible¨
¨If that's what you think, then I am not the right person to change what you believe in¨ The Sheriff placed a kiss on his lips as they kept cuddling, closing their eyes.
(March 1st. 2015 – 10:45 PM – Nick's House, New York, Earth)
The Solari duo was already on the bed, however the Champion was not ready to sleep, she was reading a book, at the side it could be read `Game of Thrones ´, Nick on the other hand was looking at the ceiling, his head filled of thoughts about the future.
¨No!¨ Leona shouted, startling the Summoner who rose up.
¨What happened? Do you sense something?¨ He looked everywhere, hoping not to find anything out of place.
¨It's Ned, he died!¨ The Radiant Dawn grabbed a pencil and placed in between the two pages and closed it, leaving it near the nightstand ¨I've seen your face before, you are worried about something. Mind telling me?¨ Leona caressed Nick's cheek as she moved her hands to his back, giving him a brief massage.
¨I'm not worried about anything. I was… thinking¨
¨Is it something about the fact that we will be facing Malzahar and its minions soon?¨ She gave a soft kiss on Nick's back, resting her head once again in the pillow.
¨It's…¨ The Summoner sighed and shook his head, resting it on the pillow at the side of Leona ¨It was about you¨
¨What's so important? Do you fear that I might die when I fight?¨
¨I know you are prepared but… I was thinking that you can change your life¨ The raven haired boy looked at the Champion, she was smiling at him, her fingers were going through his scalp. ¨When this is all done, maybe you can come live here with me¨
¨Abandon Runeterra, and stay on the Earth with you? Nick I know it's a lovely idea but… there are a lot of things I can't let go from my home¨
¨Just imagine. Here you don't have to worry about the Institute, or even Diana! You will be a new person here¨ The Summoner hugged the ginger, their bodies already touching.
¨That's the problem. I wouldn't mind leaving the Institute, but Diana is more of a problem. Imagine what she would do if there weren't any Solari to stop her? She plans on rebuilding the Lunari, and I know her methods are not as pacific as ours¨ This response saddened the Summoner.
¨I guess some things can never happen. But I understand it, and I support your decision¨ Nick gave a kiss to the Radiant Dawn who returned it by placing her arms around his neck ¨You can always change your mind while we are at it¨
¨My duty is more important, as soon as Diana has been dealt with, then I'll have time for myself. Good night Nick¨
(8:22 AM) Nick woke up, his cellphone was ringing, although it wasn't his alarm, instead it was a phone call. He grabbed it and looked at the screen where a number appeared, on top of it there was a name: Marie. The Summoner stood up from the bed and slowly went to the first floor, closing the door to the bedroom behind him, trying not to wake up Leona.
¨Marie, It's 8 in the morning. What do you need?¨ Nick yawned, after sleeping for a lot of hours he was still tired somehow.
¨Thank god you picked up the call, I tried to contact everyone but they all seem to be sleeping¨ The voice of Marie was agitated, she was running before.
¨Well, I am surprised you are not in the bed¨ He chuckled ¨Now, you wouldn't be calling If it wasn't important, so spill it¨
¨Wait, does that mean that you didn't notice?¨
¨Marie, I was sleeping. The only thing I noticed was Leona beside me¨
¨Look through the window. What do you see?¨
Nick didn't move, he looked at the window, the streets were still dark, even for that hour in the morning ¨There are no lights. It is still too early for the sun to come out...¨
¨Go outside¨
¨Why? I mean, you know it's cold outside-¨
¨JUST GO!¨ The shout coming from his cellphone startled the Solari Summoner who opened the door, he looked around in the street, there wasn't a lot of people outside.
¨Look, I don't see anything relevant so if you could give me a hin-¨ Nick looked up and saw the reason why it was all dark. There was no blue or black in the sky, it was purple, similar to the color of the Void. Close to the center of the city there was a vortex which was pouring all of the purple tint ¨Marie… what the fuck is going on?¨
¨According to Thresh, that vortex is a portal that connects our world with the Void. We are not sure what will happen next but I can surely tell something. We need to use the crystal, right now¨
¨I… I'll contact Matt, you try to get in touch with Claire. We can't wait much more¨ Nick ended the call, still stunned at the purple vortex, the neighbors started to walk out of their homes just to see the same thing the Summoner was observing.
From behind Leona came out with a blanket over her body ¨Nick, why are you out here?¨ She tried to drag the black haired inside but she got distracted by the purple anomaly in the sky
¨Malzahar cannot wait any longer¨ Nick whispered, he turned to Leona who was shaking from the cold.
¨What is happening?¨ Leona grabbed the hand of the Summoner, who was stunned in place, his eyes closed and a grim look on his face.
¨The invasion has started…¨
DUN DUN DUN... Seriously, last weekend was a pain in the ass for me. I already had the chapter ready to be uploaded on Saturday but for some reason my computer decided to stop working. After having to re-install Windows I forgot that this chapter was close to be finished, so I had to work with an early version of it.
Thankfully vacations started and until August I'll be free to write,play, and spend time with my friends (Who am I kidding, we will all be in our houses playing League)
So from now on I'll be working on finishing Summoning Magic. How many chapters are left? Maybe 3 or 4. THERE IS SO MUCH STUFF TO DO!
Anyway. Hope you enjoy the new chapter, have a nice week and as always:
See you next chapter ;)
