Chapter 13 - Wish.
"Life has been kind to me, at least, that's what I like to think, many things happened since I decided to descend from heavens, I've always looked at the mortal world in awe, so wonderful, but at the same time, sad, the mortals were suffering and crying, begging for help, I pleaded to the stars, pleading to send help, but celestial beings don't really care about mortal beings, celestials are immortal, for them, humans are nothing more but a breath, but I was different, I have always been, the oddball, the dark horse, I sacrificed my immortality and descended to this strange land called Runterra in order to heal as many as I could.
Once I descended I realized why mortals suffered so much, the world was quite cruel with its denizens, humans were killing each other left and right, almost as if humanity goal was to kill itself, such a sad display, a waste of their talent, even I find it hard to believe humans are the ruling race in Runterra.
But even I could understand their might, humans were amazing creatures, they could master any art, any school, anything, they have so much potential, yet, they seem to busy trying to kill each other, I'm afraid if they don't change this will mean the demise of the entire race.
I've been a victim of humans cruelty, a certain man asked for my help, I had my suspicious about him, but neglecting someone wasn't in my nature, even if my instincts shouted me, helping was above my own safety, I was naive, ignorance isn't a sin, but you pay for it like one, I was betrayed, I was hurt and in my sadness rage was born, I don't remember his face or his name, all I remember is his fear, his pain, and my fall, that's how I got this dreadful appearance, my shameful form was proof of my own stupidity, I still cry some nights remembering not my faults, I cry remembering his pain, he was punished by the stars, wherever he was, he was suffering more than me.
In my suffering Ionia welcomed me in their warm embrace, they healed me, they gave me a place I could call home, my faith in humanity was restored, they helped me continue my mission, heal those who needed it, guide those who were lost and be a beacon of hope, yes, I own Ionia so much, even though I've fallen they treat me like a celestial, but their words are hollow, they say I'm beautiful, but in their eyes I can see their lies, I can see their true feelings, I'm a fallen and they know it, they only lie to keep their image...Humans never change.
...
Then I met him, he came to Ionia seeking for answers, he was ... different, he was a creature from another dimension, his evil looks made me shiver in fear, everyone knows about the monsters of the void, they appeared one they, destroying and consuming everything in their way ... but ... he was different, there was something...human in him, not the lies, not the fears, he looked at me and understood who I was, he told me I was beautiful, i saw nothing but truth in his words, he was the first who truly told me I was beautiful, a voidling told me what I was dying to hear in a long time, he showed what I was looking for, a pure soul with no evil intentions, just his cute obliviousness in the world and his curiosity.
And that's how I met your father, my dear child, in the end, I taught him the little I knew, it was hard but with time he realized his own feelings for me, so one night in the festival of the blood moon he..."
- Soraka.
"...Confessed his love to me and asked my hand in sacred marriage, I was so delighted I decided to take off my clothes and..."
- Soraka?
"...feeling my lust burning I decided to ram his limb in my..."
- SORAKA!
I jolted at the voice, I opened my eyes and looked everywhere, he was in front of me, concerned for my dazed state, I felt my face go red from shame.
- oh...Hi, Vel'Koz...Fancy seeing you here...Ehm...What are you doing here?-I said grinning, trying to hide my embarrassment.
- well, you said you were going to teach me everything I need to know, something about a date.
- Yes, but I said I was going to pick you up in Karma's house.
- we are in Karma's house, in the front door.
I looked up, he was right, we were at Karma's...did I really day-dreamed something so shameful in front of the house of the Duchess of Ionia, by the stars, I need more training, I'm not completely unknown to these feelings, I just never knew they would be so strong, I better watch out from now on.
- Soraka, there is something in your hair - He said reaching my head and catching a butterfly - hmm, what a fragile creature, I guess I should let it go - he said freeing the butterfly, just marry me already - Shall we go? I'm really excited about this date.
I should have never called it "a date", he clearly doesn't know the real meaning of "date", he can use it so freely without getting embarrassed, I kind of like it when he says we are on a date, I'm smiling, everyone is looking a the Starchild having a date with The eye of the Void, I don't care, let them talk.
- sure, follow me - I said grabbing his tentacle and leading him.
There wasn't too much to see, apparently the elders did something because almost every place we visited was either closed or forbid our entrance, or "forbid his entrance" was the right term, even so, he never got angry or sad, in fact, he was quite happy, looking everywhere, asking a million of questions, sometimes chasing something that caught his interest, like some kind of puppy, I giggled at his curiosity, I can't understand why the elders feel so much disgust for him, he is clearly a good boy...and I'm his teacher...and I can punish him for doing bad things...okay, maybe I should stop reading Yi's comics.
- Heya! friends - I heard a familiar voice - What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be studying?
Ahri and Wukong were sitting in a small cafe, she was waving at us, signing us to sit whit them...It's not like I hate Ahri, but I have witnessed her behavior, I'm not sure I want to be near her with my feelings being a mess, but refusing her would be suspicious, so I guess there's just no other way, I waved back and we sat with them.
- Well, didn't expect you to be here, Sauron - Wukong began, I remembered him being afraid of Vel'koz, now he talked to him normally - and you are even with Soraka! What are you guys doing? A date!? - He joked.
- precisely - Vel'Koz answered.
Ahri grinned at me, Wukong whistled and I just tried to stop the steam in my head, I failed and that made Ahri grin, even more, showing her inhuman canines.
- well, I never knew you were that close, but, Sauron, have you told Soraka about... - Ahri looked at me mischievously - Vi?
Vi? The enforcer of Piltover, Vi? another woman?, why was Vi so important to Vel'Koz? I looked at Ahri in disbelief, she simply shrugged and smiled, damn fox.
- Yes, I would like to hear more about your relationship with the enforcer? - I said trying to keep my cool.
- well, she is someone I'm really fond to, she was the first human to be completely fearless to my presences, she taught me many things about humans and I'm really grateful to her - He looked at the ceiling - I wish I could tell her how many wonderful things have happened to me.
- So - Ahri continued-what do you think about Soraka? - I flinched at her question.
- I think she is the most beautiful girl I've seen in my life.
My face was a tomato with a horn on it.
- Between Vi and Soraka, which one do you like the most? - Ahri asked drooling.
I stopped breathing and looked at Vel'Koz, he seemed deep in thought.
- Ahri, I can't understand your question.
- Wait, what?!
- I'm sorry, there are still many things I can't understand, I came to Ionia in order to learn these new things called "feelings".
- So unfair! - Ahri pouted- I was having fun...well, can't be helped, I'm sure Soraka can teach you all of those things, in a really "deep" manner - She said winking towards me
- TH...THAT IS NONE OF YOUR CONCERN - I panicked-I...
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE NO MONEY! - We heard the owner of the cafe yell - HUH?! I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR DOCTORATE, YOU EITHER PAY ME OR I'LL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU.
- wow, I always thought Ionia was the city of peace - Vel'Koz remarked astonished.
- well, I mean, the owner is Noxian, so, it's going pretty well - Wukong answered scratching his head - but I know that guy, we should help him.
We didn't need to do that since the owner threw that man at us, he crashed and destroyed our table.
- HEY! - Ahri yelled, her dress was stained with her drink - THAT WAS UNCOOL!
- I apologize, lady, but you have to understand, he hasn't pay for a month - the owner, a big and rude man, said to her - anyways, give me his punk-ass, if he doesn't have gold, he will pay with blood!
- come on, dude, give us a chance, I'll... - Wukong tried to reason with him.
- No budge, he pays or he dies - The owner interrupted - There's no way I... - he then looked at Vel'Koz - ...wait... I know you... you are that Sauron dude, the one who came here seeking for answers.
- That's correct, owner - Vel'koz answered.
- Hmph, this city it's great, they accepted an exile like myself and then a creature like yourself... I guess... I guess I could give this fool another chance.
- really? - The man in the floor asked.
- you have one week, anyways, good to see you, Sauron, Starchild, Monkey, Slut - Ahri yelled "HEY".
- Alright, I guess that solves it - Wukong said helping the man on the ground - now allow me to introduce... - he was interrupted by the man.
He got up, dusted his robe and adopted a pretty weird pose.
- Professor Milk uhhhnnnggg - he said smiling.
We all remained quiet, Wukong facepalmed.
- alright as I was saying this guy is called... err..."Milk" although he prefers "Professor Milk"... we don't really know much about him, he just appeared one day at the monastery and started giving tactical classes, he is and odd-ball, but we respect him.
- hello, Class, you may be wondering why I'm making this poppy guide as I usually wait about two months between each video to completely and intentionally neglect my audience...-He began talking to no one in particular.
- yes, yes, we know - Wukong interrupted him - As I said an odd-ball, I better get him h...
Suddenly the wall behind us exploded, I felt myself being pushed to the ground, I lost my other friends from my sight and lost consciousness, I woke up grunting after a while, to my surprise I was completely unharmed, I looked up and realized Vel'Koz protected me with his body, he was on top of me knocked up, I tried to wake him up, until I felt a presence, I looked over his body and saw the perpetrator of this attack, in front of us stood a ninja, dressed in a menacing armor, with two blades in his hands, I could tell his gaze beneath the mask concealing his face.
- Zed - I snarled-What do you want?
He walked towards us ignoring my question, once he reached us he grabbed Vel'Koz.
- HEY! - I yelled - LEAVE HIM ALONE!
He just stared at me and laughed, I tried to grab Vel'Koz but both of them disappeared in a smokescreen, coughing I charged on, only to find that both of them were gone, I exited the building, hearing everyone scream, Zed never attacked Ionia like this, what's more, he came for a creature of the void, maybe he was planning something dreadful, as I looked at the stars I heard a voice said to me.
-Demystifying Zed UHHHNNNGGG.
