Tags: Morgana, Sona, Yuri.
The first time it happened was during an official League match the outcome of which would influence the prices of imported Ionian spices and tea leaves and the tax the Ionian merchants would have to pay whenever entering a Noxian market. Morgana and Caitlyn, the bottom lane of their team were cleaning up the remaining strugglers of a particularly bloody skirmish. Three fifths of both teams were already dead and waiting to respawn with Caitlyn, Morgana, Sona and Draven being the only survivors left, all of them fighting to the bitter end just to settle the match's fateful conclusion.
Draven suddenly roars, his spinning axes already flying straight for the Sheriff's head, lethal bullets and magical bolts harmlessly bouncing off Sona's emerald shields as Morgana abruptly moves in and hurls a Dark Binding towards the young Ionian musician… only for the vile hex to harmlessly dissipate mere inches away from the puzzled Ionian spell caster. A flabbergasted look and her laning partner's muffled curse are the last things the corrupted celestial witch registers before a barrage of spells and spinning blades abruptly sends her back in the safety of her fountain.
…
The second time the phenomenon occurred was very similar to the first one. Morgana was laning mid against the mute musician. Spells and hexes were exchanged like bouquets and flowers at weddings, magical bolts of shadow and light riddling the majority of mid lane with black smoking craters. Both mages were so far even at best, but with their health points and mana reserves severely depleted.
A sudden soundless ping and the corrupted celestial's Summoner informs the dark witch of her ally's imminent arrival, the Summoner's thoughts magically transmitted to the corrupted angel and Morgana cruelly smirks at the prospect of ambushing Sona with the help of her jungler.
The mute spell caster merely raises a confused eyebrow as she spots the Fallen Angel's evil grin, but she then simply strums her delicate fingers on a golden string and the bounty of another minion is added to the blue-haired sorceress' considerable budget.
The minute distraction of Sona gracefully gliding to last hit another melee minion is all the opportunity the crafty Fallen Angel needs to signal Rengar that's currently hiding in the bush as the two champions quickly descend upon the unsuspecting Ionian spell caster. The jungler opens the fight with a Smite and a simultaneous stab at the startled healer before he deftly throws his bola at the mute musician, but unfortunately misses for just a second when Sona instantly Flashes away from them.
But the Ionian spell caster had already been low on health before the skirmish had even began and so Morgana smiles as she hurls one of her favorite curses towards the fleeing mute musician. A vile curse that makes the ground beneath a target start boiling and the air around it turn into a poisonous miasma.
Morgana's victorious smile soon shatters when her Tormented Soil spell abruptly causes the ground underneath her floating opponent to start blooming and springing colorful flowers. The Fallen Angel can only stare at the flowers in confusion and shock as her wide purple eyes intently observe the blossoming red and white roses. The Fallen Angel blinks and ignores Rengar's angry yells as she slowly kneels to touch the soft delicate petals of a still closed crimson rosebud. She then raises her gaze and meets the eyes of her lane opponent that's hesitantly floating near her tower and the smile forming on the corrupted celestial's lips is anything but fake or sinister. Morgana knows that she has finally found her fated soulmate, why else would her magic refuse to harm the mute musician?
Notes: This story explores one of the musings that occurred to me while contemplating writing some other soulmate stories. What if the soulmates' bond affected the ones connected by it in a much deeper level and even interfered with their magic? What if celestial soulmates are affected differently by the bond than mortal ones? I picked Morgana to highlight the unintended changes happening to her dark spells, good-natured spells are impossible for her after her Fall and yet Sona's presence almost restores Morgana's celestial powers. Sona seemed like an interesting pairing for Morg and both of them are also a bit unpopular so let's add some champion diversity to the stories.
