Stories of Runeterra

"Remember what we learned," Zilean said, his voice unusually soft - grave, even. "Are you certain you're ready?" Khahiri gave his mentor a reassuring smile. "I'll be back soon. And besides, I've spent every day for years preparing for this moment. If not now, when?" As Khahiri started to ascend the steps toward the glowing gate that the people call the Time Gate, he looks back. He looked at each and every one of his people: His parents, teachers, friends, and lastly, Grandmaster Zilean. He took a deep breath and put a palm against the shimmering wall of ever-changing sceneries. It is cold, yet warm at the same time. It feels like ants crawling against his palm. He looked straight at the Time Gate, then slowly closed his eyes to envision when will he appear beyond it.  The ever-changing sceneries slowly condensed into a scene of a town full of people. Many people grasp behind Khahiri. It may have been far too long since the people saw th

Chapter 13 : Heimerdinger and Clan Giopara Their morning started the next day, with Graves throwing a man on the floor. Apparently, this was the same man that they are watching the day before. Sera was shocked, Jinx is... not affected, Celestine is looking interested as to who the man is, Jae is looking with one of his eyebrows raised while Jayce is looking at Twisted Fate. "Say hello to Putluck, our guide to Urzeris. Putluck, greet everyone." Twisted Fate said. He is referring to the thin and small man that Graves just threw in front of everyone. "SVAAG! May you both rot in the Void!" cursed Putluck. He looked at both Twisted Fate and Graves with hate and fury. Twisted Fate just replied with a grin while Graves hoisted his gun over his shoulder. "Is he someone we can trust?" asked Jae. As both Graves and Twisted Fate nodded, Sera approached Putluck. "Can you tell me more about Alaesh? Your daughter?" she asked. Putluck was visibl

 Chapter 12 : SERAPHINE, LIVE AT NASHRAMAE The next morning, as the sun rose along through straw windows in an inn at Nashramae, Sera woke up with her eyes hurting from the sun rays directly shining on her. It was very different from her mornings in the Erestol where she wakes up to the sound of the Hexdraulic Conveyors near their store. She misses her parents. She climbs out of her bed and walked near the window. What she saw was a street full of different types of people, huge muscular men lifting barrels or pulling carts, different looking children joyfully playing a kite that is shaped like a lion with a head of an eagle, ladies, and women that are either selling different goods or buying them, rich fat men being surrounded by sexy women dressed in thin clothes and a whole lot more. She looks at everyone and feels overwhelmed by how a place with so much diversity has so much harmony. She closes her eyes and hears the voice of each and every one. They whisper many different things b

 Chapter 11 : The Repercussion of the Shockblast Just like what Twisted Fate said, they found all three in a Pub at Nashramae. They are wounded but not critical. Celestine, whom does not usually like to drink, is seen chugging a huge cup of wheat mead. They greeted the newcomers with smiles in their bruised faces like but Sera went and slapped Jayce on the cheeks (YAOUCH! That's gotta sting, nice one Concert Girl!). Everyone except Jinx was speechless of what happened. "You could've escaped all the same. But why must you kill even those that are fleeing to Nashramae? THOSE THAT ARE INNOCENT?" Sera cried. The three then grimaced as they remembered how much of the destruction claimed not only their ambushers life, but also those that are not involved. ----- On their way to the pub, they saw a pair of women crying along with 2 innocent children who kept on looking at the gates. Aside from the 2, nestled in one of the woman's arms is an infant. Crying as she senses he

 Chapter 10 : The Battle in Nashramae Alshams walramal ma narah, Naeish hayatuna kama yahlu lana, Alsahra' baytana Nasij al'ard, Nahn naeish hayatuna kama yahlu lana. Sera woke up with the sound of people singing a song. She doesn't understand the words spoken but she can hear the people singing are celebrating freedom and their way of living. She slowly sits up and found herself in a tent. It was already daytime. "Where am I? What happened? Oh no, JINX?!" Sera shouted and ran out of the tent, only to see Jinx, bandaged with cloth and what seems to be leaves. "Hey Sera! Hey guys! This is Concert-Girl. Concert-Girl, these are the Nomads!" Jinx casually said. She looks healthier and enjoying herself so Sera looked around. She was greeted by merry people smiling and nodding to her. They are dressed with short skirts and either cloaks or less shirts. A woman then walked to her smiling and conjured a flower from the sands. "Greetings, Sera. I am Taliyah.

 Chapter 9 : I can hear you! "From digging public records in the Library of Piltover, to asking the rats in Zaun. Seems like you like to play inspector, silly child?" Camille said while holding Sera by her chin. "The fact that you are here means that I am really close." Sera replied. Camille was visibly shock by the lack of fear in Sera's starry eyes. "I congratulate you then. It is just saddening that no one will here your pretty voice again." Camille then slowly took the orb from Sera's other hand. "Very well. I will be taking what is mine -" "You might have convinced the others, but I can hear it. Your heart!" said Sera after she quickly held Camille's arm while taking the blue orb. "The hexcore in your chest that you insist is dead is calling out! Begging for you to listen!" Sera added.  Contrary to what Sera is expecting, Camille went mad. She clenched Sera's arm that is holding hers and yanked her up to h

 Chapter 8 : Get Jinxed! In the bustling market in Bel'Zhun, Jae Medarda is running frantically looking for Sera. Having alerted everyone else, they scour the whole marketplace but can't seem to find her. "Jae, any clues?" asked Twisted Fate when he showed up in a flurry of cards. "No. She's not near the docks either. Celestine, you?" asked Jae to the newly arrived Celestine, riding what seems to be a hovering horse with no legs. "None. The Cloudrider also does have no clue." Everyone is now worried. Jayce said that Sera is important for this mission. "Jayce!" shouted Jae seeing that Jayce is coming over. He is reading a piece of animal skin. "Where's Sera?" "We will meet her at Nashramae. It seems that someone will take her there." Jayce silently said. "We'll talk more in the Cloudrider. Let's embark." ----- "So your name is Ryze?" asked Sera while eating a kebab. "Yes. It is R

 Chapter 7 : Landing to the Coastal City of Bel'Zhun The MK-15 Cloudrider looks like a normal airship, except that it flies 5 times faster.  It has not the usual two propellers at the tail, it has 4 rocket boosters.  "How did you make it this sturdy Professor?" ask Celestine. Sera can feel and hear her soul overwhelmed with happiness.  "Well, for starter, you will need to use Steel than Iron. The propulsion mechanism works with liquified gas to make it lighter. The body uses a..." Sera then wanders off and found Jinx and Ziggs talking. "Jinx. Are you not afraid?" asked Sera. She feels lightheaded as they are travelling too fast and on air. It's her first time travelling on air as well. "Why be afraid Concert-Girl. It's not that we are going to die right? The curly-haired Yordle's airship can handle a 15 millimeter bullet after all." proudly Jinx claimed.  "WAIT! HOW DID YOU KNOW IT CAN TAKE A 15 MM BULLET?" Ziggs exclaim

 Chapter 6 : Jayce Giopara, Jae Medarda and Celestine Torek Way back in the days, the Clan Ferros own an Hex Crystal Quarry known throughout the Shurima Continent as the Crystal Scar. Located near the coast of Kalamanda. It was a site of ruins nowadays. Only dauntless treasure hunters and brave scavengers roam the Crystal Scar as tales of a violent Brackern attacking anyone who tries to take anything especially crystals of all sorts is well-spread. ----- "I can prepare an airship definitely but who will keep the Clan Ferros at bay?" asked Heimerdinger as he fiddles on a small box that has 2 buttons at the top and button. "You can count on the Clan Torek, Giopara and Medarda. We already deployed spies to watch their every move." Jayce said while he, Jae Medarda and Celestine Torek looks over a map of what looks to be the Northern Shurima Continent. "The route to Kalamanda takes 10 days with the fastest airship that the Clan Torek owns. Are you sure that we can

Chapter 5 : Not just a Starry-Eyed Songstress Little by little, the light gathered beneath Sera's feet. Then as she sings the brackern crystals began to glow and hum an almost ancient hymn that starts to resonate with the crystal inside the core of the Incognium Runeterra. She slowly holds the smallest crystal from the dampener and magically, the crystal burst out of it, hovering in between Sera's hands. Sera groaned as the sudden chaos surrounded her. It was suffocating. It is like all the world around her is distorted. With no harmony at all. Wait! Harmony! YES! Harmony! Because the best things in life won’t be perfect anyway. That is my parents always say.  Nothing is perfect but everything can be harmonious! She then closed her eyes and let the chaos takes her in. Then it was darkness. Always on the outside, through a window looking in  Never the right time, so the chance goes by again  The lines begin to show, when we feel broken to move on we have, to drop the pieces we’r

 Chapter 4 : Harmony Sera spent her day without a single issue. She went to a clothing shop with her mom, ate lunch with her family and bonded with Schala over some Shuriman barbecue. Life during her off is normal. She returned to her room exhausted but restless. Progress day is 2 days from now. She just hope to see the Platform at least a day before. " Help us. Please. " The voice from within the pink brackern crystals sounded again. Seraphine immediately opened the case and anxiously holds the biggest piece. "Where are you?" she hurriedly asked.  To her disappointment, the shimmer in the crystal went out and she was left without an answer again. She slowly puts the crystal down before she heard of what she thinks could be the worst voice she has ever heard. It is chaotic. So chaotic that Seraphine lost her balance and knocked of the crystals. Luckily, she was able to get a small piece and she immediately attached it to her dampener. It now serves as a pendant for
