"Hello? Is anyone here?" Luxanna Crownguard, the one hailed by the righteous folk of Demacia as the Lady of Luminosity nervously shouts as she approaches the secluded hunting cabin in the middle of the quiet green forest. But alas, the only answer the young woman receives is the sound of a scared woodland creature that hastily darts away from its hiding place upon hearing the mage's voice. The dusty cobwebbed windows of the hunting cabin remain silent and uninviting. Eerily and impossibly dark like spilled tar at night.
"I'm here because you recently contacted me about winning some kind of prize?" Lux dares to shout towards the dirt-stained glass as she nears the hut's door. When nobody answers her again the blonde light mage thoughtfully pulls a wrinkled business card out of her jeans and checks the address that is written on it one more time.
'Vilemaw's Traveling Agency, All the way to hell and back!' Reads the simple yet elegant card that had been mailed to her a few days ago along with the letter that had explained to her that she would have to visit the Vilemaw Agency in order to claim her prize. Luxanna reluctantly steps forward after examining the outside of the silent shack for about half a minute. She hesitantly grasps the rusted iron of the doorknob and gives it a small uncertain twist. The rotted wooden planks of the ancient-looking door creak ominously as the heavy and sturdy barrier tentatively slides inwards carving a messy grey path across the thick layers of dust gathering over the complaining floorboards.
A meek nervous peek at the interior of the abandoned shack from the doorway reveals almost nothing new or noteworthy to the young Demacian mage. The front door leads to a shadowed decrepit room filled with more cobwebs and rotted wood. The lost, forgotten memories of a grandiose past lay before the nervous eyes of young Lady Luxanna. The decomposing furniture that are littering the room's floor sticking out of the shadows like the half-devoured carcasses of wooden animals that were thoughtlessly discarded after they were poached in their blackened dens.
"Hello?" Lux speaks nervously as the female aristocrat's sky blue orbs minutely examine the pitiful remains of an age long gone. The quiet girl enters the hut with reluctant and silent footsteps before a heavy feeling of unease, and then crawling dread abruptly come to settle inside the young mage's chest. Luxanna's aquamarine orbs still scanning the old dilapidated room for any signs of life, albeit more frightfully than a few moments ago as short tense seconds slowly turn into long minutes.
But the young blonde mage finds no new footsteps against the carpet of soil and dust, or a lone candle flickering in its cursed solitude. And so the unnatural silence that is practically pervading the gloomy air around the secluded hunting cabin soon turns into invisible weights that pin Luxanna's shoe soles against the filthy floorboards.
"Perhaps coming here alone wasn't such a good idea, after all." The naïve girl muses aloud as she takes a step back towards the shack's oepn door. The young noblewoman being truly scared now, completely unwilling of turning her back against the empty room and its abundance of unnerving inky shadows. A strong pale hand then lands on the female noble's shoulder.
"That's nonsense!" Suddenly quips a sultry feminine voice coming from right behind the mage.
"If you can ignore the old bloodstains on the floorboards and the gravestones hidden in the back of the shack, this place can be surprisingly cozy, and dare I say.. welcoming?" A smiling Elise happily drawls as she pushes Luxanna farther into the hut. And instantly as if to dispute the spider witch's claim a raven somewhere in the woods outside caws forebodingly before the fake niceties even fade.
"Ah! I think I left the stove on!" Luxanna abruptly exclaims as she attempts to make up a quick excuse to leave the mysterious stranger's presence.
"I turned it off for you, my dear." Elise happily replies as she closes the front door and locks it with a coy smile. And the scariest part is that Lux has the very disturbing feeling that the seductive pale stranger isn't joking.
"I think I forgot to put the ice-cream in the freezer! I have to go home and put it at once or the ice-cream is going to melt and spoil!" The young light mage tries to convince the grinning Spider Queen to let her go once more as Lux helplessly watches the front door's key swiftly disappear inside the folds of the other woman's bodice.
...But Elise only flashes the startled girl a predatory smile as she continues approaching her. Instinctively the scared Demacian hastily steps away from the unnerving figure of the pale cultist.
"Ice-cream isn't good for you anyway." The crimson-eyed stranger states almost accommodatingly.
"Y-you don't like ice-cream? Lux nervously stutters conversationally as she desperately dances away from the pale stranger's long confident strides. Who doesn't like ice-cream?! Luxanna silently screams inside her head. Now the scared light mage definitely knows that there is something wrong going on with this frighteningly beautiful woman!
"I rather prefer eating warmer things. Juicer things. Livelier too, for that matter…"
The back of the light mage's foot stumbles over a dusty coffee table. Lux falls down with a surprised yelp, landing on her butt as the rotten furniture crumbles underneath her weight.
"Owie!" The blonde noblewoman groans as she proceeds to rub at her bottom while trying to blink away the tears in her eyes. And when Luxanna raises her frantic wet gaze once more, the Spider Queen is looming over her hunched form. Elise's crimson glare shining brightly in the room's darkness.
"Let me show you what I mean, little fly." The pale cultist lowly growls. The Spider Queen's words already devolving into an impatient inhuman hiss as the evil witch's body begins transforming into that of an enormous spider.
The End
Day21: The goal for this one was the use of fewer descriptions and simpler sentences. I usually go overboard with purple prose so once in a while I try to somewhat simplify my writing style and keep my sentences in check. It doesn't always work, but I like how this one-shot turned out.
A happy, yet perverted alternative Yuri ending because of reasons. Otherwise Lux is dead! She died because you didn't read the extra part. Y-you killed her! You really did, you heartless Katarina main!
"Oh.." Lux mumbles shyly whilst lying naked on a queen-sized bed right next to the equally nude infamous Spider Queen of the Shadow Isles. The soft purple, lavender-scented bed sheet wrapped around the young Demacian noblewoman's body barely managing to conceal her present indecency.
"When you were talking about eating things I didn't realize that you were talking about.. about… that kind of thing… you know!" The blonde mage complains.
Elise smirks seductively at her cute, blushing light mage. She then chuckles almost pleasantly.
"Oh, Lux. My dear Lux, you would certainly make a fine meal, of that I can assure you." The Spider Queen all but purrs as her eyes hungrily roam the younger woman's body causing Lux to hurriedly hide her bright red face under the bed sheets with a loud embarrassed squeal.
"But luckily for you, my dear little butterfly, I enjoy eating you too much for me to actually eat you."
Elise's teasing smirk only widens when the dark witch hears the blonde noblewoman next to her start hyperventilating under the covers.
Sorry, no sexy Teemo scene for this one, just puns. Maybe next time, don't pun-ic. It is fruit-ile. Bee-lieve eat.
