Part I: Memoirs of Piltover

Chapter II: A nightmare come true

~ 3 days Prior to current events

Caitlyn sat atop the outer wall that surrounded Piltover and gazed at the waning sunset. It was a bloody red that made her skin almost luminescent. In her arms was a book whose yellowed pages held the history of Piltover and its foundation…

No one knows who exactly founded this great city. It has been around for hundreds of years, and has always stood on its own. The city itself is made up of a third of yordles, and two thirds humans. This is a crossroad, a haven for both summoner’s and champions.

It is rumored that beneath its large expanse lay an ancient creature that would defend its perimeter if the city ever befell war or famine. The creature was said to have been the pet of the unknown founders, that there were others among its kind, created for the sole purpose of defending each city. However Noxus has found a way to awaken the creature for the purpose of destroying others, how is still unknown, but record is shown that over time they have come closer to using the creature to its full potential and that’s what scares our council the most.

Tears streamed down Caitlyn’s face as she closed the dusty book. “Signed Sheriff Scott, public servant of Piltover.” It was beginning to come true, Caitlyn thought that she should have started to evacuate everyone and warn the council, but she wanted to confirm her suspicions first… besides if they were under attack… This creature would protect them… right? …

“Lulu slow down!” Ezreal yelled over the waist high savanna. The little yordle kept on running though, her little staff waving to and fro for Ezreal to follow.

“We can’t stop now silly! We’re almost there!” Lulu exclaimed until they finally came to a tree that towered over them like a sky scraper. In a hollowed out compartment of the trunk there lay a cloaked figure, bleeding out onto the grass.

“Lulu move aside!” Ezreal scolded and rushed forward, kneeling down and touching the shoulder of the individual. Lulu hopped to the side and watched frantic with worry as her ears folded down.

“Who’s there? … Lulu is that you?” The voice of the summoner was indeed weak, she turned to face Ezreal and only smiled. “Ah, so you brought help…” She coughed up more blood which dribbled onto her cloak. “Please… Ezreal, the institute is in grave danger… and so are the lands laying outside of the institutes walls…”She placed a frail hand on his arm.

What could this mean? He thought… a bead of sweat raced down his forehead as he clutched her hand firmly. “What do you mean, what happened at the institute?” he begged the Summoner.

“Karthus… and Yorick… they turned on the authority of the Institute…” The Summoners voice grew weaker by the minute, Ezreal tried to push for more information.

“What did they do, please just tell me what they did. We can send help!” Ezreal cried, feeling the summoners hands grow cold.

“The shadow isles… champions originating from the Shurima deserts… they’ve banded together with….” The Summoners eyes went blank, and slowly closed until she became limp.

Tears started streaming down Lulu’s face, Pix clung to her small shoulder and hid its face. “Please don’t leave Kalia!” Lulu cried and flung herself on the summoners lap, Kalia still held a warm smile as she passed.

“Kalia, please we need more information than that!” Ezreal begged again, but to no avail could he bring her back. “Lulu quick, cast wild growth on her!” He commanded, but she’d become confused.

“Ezreal I can’t bring the dead back to life!” Lulu sobbed into Kalia’s cloak as well as Pix who quietly cried.

It seemed as though the world was falling in around Ezreal, he could feel his heart racing, more beads of sweat clouding his face. He unclasped the intricate necklace Kalia had sported and clutched it within his gauntlet. “Those bastards…” It was true, Noxus was making a move and they were helpless to intercept or respond to it in any way for the time being. “But why in the hell would champions from the Shurima, or the Shadow Isles ally with Noxus? What were they gaining from it?” Ezreal thought. He bit his lip trying to figure all of this out and then suddenly stood up, for now he had to keep moving. Lulu looked up at him with tears still staining her eyes red. “We’ve gotta stop them and get this news back to Caitlyn, she’ll know what to do… but the couriers…” Ezreal wasn’t sure he could accomplish this all by himself. “Lulu, come on. We’re going to stop these son’s a’ bitches…” For a moment she seemed scared, but her bottom lip curved downward into a nasty frown.

“Hmmph!” was the only thing Lulu said with a nod before the two took off at a run through the tall grass…
