Chapter 33 - The calm before the storm.
-Do I look fat in this?
-Soraka, dear you look awesome!
-Thanks, Rek'Sai! You are such a love sweet thing... What do you think, Koggie?
-Beautiful!
-Would you two hurry the fuck up? - Came the voice of an angry enforcer outside of the room.
-Coming!
I'm going to a party...
I'm going to a party!
My first party!
Oh, joy! Never in my entire life, I've felt this way... Not that I could tell... Actually... I'm sure I couldn't even tell what lied ahead of me... I was a Xer'Sai... The queen of Xer'Sai... Soulless monsters craving for the taste of blood... A ruthless creature whose only amusement was the pain of my victims and the thrill of the hunt... Geez... I was such a bitch back then...
I could understand my behaviour... I was blind after all... And all ai could sense was the sound around me... I can explain how it works since I never cared too much about it... As long as it worked I was completely fine with it...
Life has changed more than I hoped for... Xer'Sai are a void species born in Runeterra so we are naturally stronger to the dangers this land has to offer... I mean... I say "dangers" but in reality, we didn't care at all... The life forms in this realm are incredibly weak... So what if you lose a limb or two? So what if your bones are broken? I mean... Even the weakest among us could easily destroy the strongest of them... I mean the humans since there are other strong creatures in this land... Tasty creatures in the end...
But everything changed when my fellow voidlings arrived into this world... Something changed inside of me... I began craving for something I've never craved for... Something so terrible and terrifying I avoided it as much as possible... Something so small and precious it made scared and happy at the same time...
I craved for a family...
The Xer'Sai are one big family, I won"t deny it... But I wished for something more personal and secluded... I've never had cubs on my own... The young Xer'Sai were born from lesser females and males... I was a queen... I needed a king... But all my future prospects easily... I needed a strong male by my side... Well, I guess I could be a strong and independent single mother... But that would be too problematic, I wanted time for my children and as a queen time was something I didn't have...
My fellow voidlings from the other realm were suitable for my tastes... Cho'Gath and Kha'Zix were cool dudes... I would often go against them in little games such as "how many creatures can you eat in a minute" or "dismember the human in less than a second", Cho'Gath almost always won the games but that was okay with me... It was fun... Kha'Zix was more like a teacher for me... He tried to teach me how to properly hunt a prey in stealth... I was terrible at it bug it was fun...
Now, Kog'Maw was the child I never had... He was everything I wanted... Small, cute and he could spit acid goo out of his mouth... I knew we were destined to be a family, the little bug would follow me everywhere I went... Eat what I ate and kill what I killed... He was such a wonderful child and the other voidlings approved the idea of me adopting him... I finally had what I wanted... I was finally a mother...
The only problem was him...
Mister "I'm smarter than you"
Mister "you are and underdeveloped species"
Mister "if you get in my way I will disintegrate you with my laser of I-don't-know-what-living-things"
Vel'Koz... The ass of the Void...
He was so mean! He acted like a cold nerd always looking for new things to research... He was weird... Like really weird... Am I the only one who finds it strange he doesn't have a mouth while we all do? What kind of voidborn was he supposed to be if he couldn't eat anything? "Knowledge is my nourishment", he said... But come on... Books ain't that tasty... I know because I ate one of those before... It was disgusting...
The thing I desired the most was to shut his... his... See! That's what I mean! No mouth! It's weird! I'm trying really hard to change... I remember my days in the dessert of Shurima... I had my own share of friends there, there was croccie, doggie, birdie, turtle and that lightbulb... lightbulb was pretty rude... always yelling things like "I am a god" or "I will destroy you" but he was a cool dude.
I'm not gonna lie, I respect him... he is extremely pówerful to the point most of the creatures of the Void feared him even more than me, I remember hearing rumors about his past self... he was even worse than me in my darkest days... A legend says he almost consumed the Void itself in his rampage... I know I'm strong... But rather avoid him in a bad day,,,
But he has changed, we all had changed... I mean... I'm going to a party! And if you haven't guessed yet... I am a human now! Not exactly a normal human... I can still break a lot of things easily and my tremor sense works to a certain degree... but I have the appearance of a female human... It's quite annoying, to be honest... I don't dislike my new limbs... I totally love my eyes and nose... But I just don't get the lumps of meat in my chest... Boobs I believe was their name, they are soft... extremely soft... what kind of idiot has its weak points in plain sight? Also, those things get in my way every time I want to run, they are heavy and hurt my back... I seriously don't know the proper use of these things... Besides... Somehow the males seem attracted to them... I remember going out with Koggie and every male would stare at them and had this idiotic look on their faces... Annoying... The worst of all things is that all of my friends has a tentacle between their legs, Cho'Gath, Kha'Zix and even Koggie have one... Geez, even Vel'Koz has one... although that thing is different on its own... it's, literally a tentacle... I suppose since his magic is stronger than ours, he managed to keep his Void traits... I wish I had my claws... I miss being underground...
All things aside, I can't really be mad... I wearing this cute gown, jewelry, high heels, and make-up... I'm going to a party... with friends! No, I'm not talking about my Void friends... I'm talking about female friends! Soraka, Vi, and Caitlyn, they are awesome for going out with me... I know I'm not exactly the most educated woman out there... But they still chose me... And I love them for that...
-Would you shut up, you stupid goat? Can't you see I'm trying to drive...
-Do you call this drive? All I see is a monkey in a monocycle...
-Cupcake! Come on! Let me skin her ass!
-You can't, she is a special guest...
Well... I like them most of the times... Koggie yawned in my lap... poor little thing... he is just a child after all...
-By the way, Congratulations on your trial, Soraka, I heard you won.
-Thank you, Caitlyn, it was tough but I managed to convince the council... To be honest... One of them supported me strongly... I believe it was the supreme commander of the police department.
-Marshall Smith stood for you!? What the hell?!
-To be honest, it's quite simple, Vi, he wants more celebrities in his party, it is grand enough that the most important figures of Demacia are coming to this party - Caitlyn explained patiently
-I can understand the hype for The Might of Demacia, The Maven of the Strings, and The Exemplar of Demacia... But for this stupid and slutty goat?! The commander must be insane.
-You know what, Vi? I'm tired... You've gone missing for two days... and then, you come back with that attitude... I demand an explanation!
-And explanation?! You want an explanation?! You should ask the old goat in the backseat.
-Soraka? - Caitlyn said turning around and glaring at Soraka - Explain.
-Well... - Soraka said nervously - I... might have played a little... prank on Vi... He, he...
-YOU PUT INSIDE OF A POTATO BAG AND THREW ME INTO THE DUMPSTER!
-Come on, it was just a prank, bro...
-I WAS ALMOST KILLED BY THE FUCKING GRINDER!
-You were saved by a kind worker, I seriously don't know why are you being such a drama queen...
-I WAS NAKED! - Caitlyn couldn't help but burst in laughter - COME ON, CUPCAKE!
-Noisy! - Koggie said waking up - Can't sleep! Noisy!
-We are sorry... - Soraka said petting him.
-Whatever... - Vi shrugged - Did I miss something, Cupcake?
-There was a robbery at the library...
-Who the fuck raids a frigging library? It's a library!
-The blueprints of the ministry were stolen.
-Oh... So that explains the extra troops in the party... To be honest... I don't trust those new guys... They seem... odd... and that "elite" equipment... it's pretty damn suspicious...
-I know... But it was issued by the Commander so deal with it.
-Okay... Anything else?
-Piltover Customs was attacked by Orianna and Blitzcrank.
-What?!
-I don't have the details since I was busy with the party... But it seems Orianna attacked Piltover Customs, Blitzcrank showed afterwards to stop her but the damage was already done... Currently, our forces are hunting professor Corin Reveck for questioning... But it seems he disappeared...
-And what about Orianna?
-Our forces found her Professor Reveck's lab... She was alone...
-Did... Did that bastard seriously abandon her? Orianna is like his daughter!
-But she isn't... From the very beginning, Reveck never liked Orianna... I'm surprised it took him this long to set her up... You know his tragedy... Orianna's situation is pitiable but there's nothing we can do... They will blame her since Reveck ran away...
-That's awful... I know Orianna can be pretty creepy... But she doesn't deserve this... Did she say something?
-She said a suspicious lady told her father there was an enemy in Piltover Customs... A voidling...
-You can't mean...
-IT'S MY HONEY OKAY?! - Soraka jumped into the conversation - TELL ME HE IS OKAY! WHERE'S THAT ORIANNA BITCH? I WILL SLAUGHTER HER PUNNY ASS!
-Sit down, You crazy goat! - Vi said pushing Soraka away - Seriously, calm down... To be honest I want to know... What the hell is wrong with my babe?
-What do you mean?
-I mean... You, a yandere-ish goat is after him, I'm in love with him and I'm pretty dangerous myself... and that Fortune bitch... She wants to get in his pants and I've heard some pretty dark stuff about her... I'm not sure why but he's rather inclined to approach troublesome women and happy when swayed by them...
-Are you implying I'm a troublesome woman?
-You literally stuffed me in a potato bag and threw me in a dumpster... naked.
-Touché.
There was an awkward silence after that... They all had their own thoughts. But the answer was simple.
-Or maybe he is an idiot - I commented nonchalantly.
-Or maybe that - Caitlyn agreed with me - Let's change the subject... I gotta say your outfit it's pretty cute, Rek'Sai.
-Really?! Thank you, Caitlyn!
-But I think it shows a bit of cleavage.
-Excuse me?!
-Yeah, no hard feeling, Rek... But you rack is not exactly small... Those are frigging mountains if you ask me... I think you are even bigger than that Maven of the Strings...
-Like you are one to talk, Vi!
-What does that mean?
-Who the shit wears a frigging cop custom for a party? Not to mention Caitlyn is wearing one as well.
-We are in service right now, our mission is to protect the ambassadors and the members of the council... Our outfits were approved by the supreme commander... These are the standard uniforms of the force...
-Are you serious? You are telling me that miniskirt and your belly out in the open is part of the standard?
-Okay... Maybe the Commander is a pervert... But this is our uniform... We have to wear them on official events... Whether we like it or not.
-So that means... I'm the only one properly dressed for this party! - Soraka said with pride - In your face, piggie!
-You look like a cloistered nun.
-What?! How dare you? This is my Celestine outfit! These clothes were sewed by the most renowned tailors in Ionia! How dare you, You slutty cop?!
-You want to die, stupid goat?
-Bring it on, piggie!
-Both of you, stop it - Caitlyn tries to intervene.
-No, Cupcake I'm sorry but you can't stop this... This has gone for far too long... We finish this tonight...
-What do you mean?
-Check my pocket, Cupcake, there's something that stupid goat needs to see...
Caitlyn looked through Vi's pockets carefully... After a while, she found a small black box... She suddenly looked surprised...
-Vi...This is...
-Yes... It is exactly what you think...
-What is it? - Soraka said taking the box in her hands and opening it - What is th... No way...
Inside of the box was a beautiful gold ring with a diamond on top of it, Soraka seemed to stop breathing and Vi was as red as a tomato, I took the small box from Soraka and studied the ring... If I remember correctly... This is a wedding ring... And that would mean...
Oh...
My...
God...
-Pretty! - Kog'Maw chirped trying to grab the ring.
-Now you know how serious I am - Vi finally said - Tonight... I will make him mine...
-And what if you fail - Soraka commented slowly.
-Then... You win... But everything ends tonight... One way or another...
-Sounds good to me...
The silence filled the car once again, Caitlyn shifted in her seat uncomfortable... I, on the other hand, was having a good time, The drama! I always wanted to be in this kind of situation... And who knows... If we have a wedding I would like to walk Vel'Koz to the altar... I'm sure he will look so cute in a beautiful pure white dress...
-We are here...
The ministry stood pride and tall in this beautiful night, the night sky was filled with passion, wishes, and dreams... The moon was smiling as two beautiful women were fighting the greatest battle of all... In this cold war where everything was fair... And I was in the middle of everything... Awesome!
-You guys get inside - Caitlyn said still inside of the car - We have to make sure the security measures are properly working, we will be there when the commander gives his speech...
But neither Soraka or Vi were listening to her, they were staring at each other with determination... Finally, Soraka smiled and lifted her hand towards Vi...
-May the best woman win, Enforcer.
-You got it, Starchild.
They shook hands for a few moments and then Caitlyn and Vi left, Soraka walked confidently towards the ministry and I could only follow in delight...
This was going to be the best party ever.
DISCLAIMER
I was feeling a little bit down yesterday...
