CH29: king of the storm
Third POV:
Grey and Sona just entered the Café, Sona easily got them a table which they sat on.
Grey: I feel bad that you have to pay for everything.
Sona: (shakes head) [don't worry about it, you are basically being my bodyguard for free, so at least let me buy some breakfast]
Grey: alright.
Waiter: good morning and what can I get you two.
They both looked over the menu and chose their orders.
Grey: I'll have the chicken sandwich and a salad with orange juice, and you Sona?
Sona: [the same]
Grey: make that two of the same order.
Waiter: alright, I'll be back shortly.
The waiter left and the two went back to talking to each other.
Sona: [so how long have you known Garen?]
Grey: almost as long as I joined the Institute, I met Ezreal and Lux first then him afterwards.
Sona: [I saw your match with Demacia a few days ago, I couldn't join at the time and I have to admit it got scary at the end]
Grey: yes, it was a surprise for all of us I can assure you, but tell me about yourself.
Sona: [there's nothing much to know, I do a few consort here and there, I've gotten quite famous since I was taken by house Buvelle]
Grey: wait, since you were taken?
Sona: (nod) [yes, I was left at the door of an orphanage and one day I was adopted by the head of the house]
Grey: wow... you and I have more in common than I thought.
Sona: [what do you mean?]
Grey: I was left an infant as well, but was found by the Abyss watchers and they took me in, raised me, trained me, and the rest is history.
Sona smiled, she was happy she had so much in common with Grey, she was even more happy that he ignored that she mentioned she was famous.
But that didn't last long, as a few people started approaching them, Sona knew they were reporters and writers from the news.
Reporter: Sona, Sona! Would you mind answering some questions.
Reporter2: your last consort was better than the others, are you trying to get a bigger reputation?
Reporter3: is that the Abyss watcher? What's your relationship with him?
Too many questions, too personal for her liking, Grey noticed she was uncomfortable and stood up.
His hight was intimidating, and they took notice of his sword and knife.
Grey: I would advise you to leave now.
Reporter: but we just need to ask a few-
He was silenced when Grey drew his sword and struck the ground in front of them further raising their fear.
Grey: I don't care! I will give you a few seconds to leave, and trust me I wouldn't mind making an example out of you in front of everyone.
Reporter3: you would make yourself look like a criminal?!?
Grey: to keep you away from Sona? Yes, now leave.
He pulled out his knife and they all decided to leave at the site of the brutal looking blade.
Grey sighed and sat back down, Sona had a faint blush but not of embarrassment, but because Grey stood up for her.
Sona: [you didn't need to do that]
Grey: they were bothering you, besides, I am your bodyguard.
Sona: (smile) [thanks]
Waiter: sorry for the wait.
They saw the waiter coming to them, he had a tray with their food in it.
After he sat it down, they started eating making small talk whenever they could.
Ahri POV:
I can't believe we stayed in the arcade till lunch, and somehow Lux still didn't win.
Me and Aki even tried to lose on purpose... but she still lost, how?... I don't know, but I think she should give up on video games.
We found a table with Ezreal and Brite sitting on it, we sat down besides them.
Ezreal: hi guys.
Lux: hi...
Ezreal: what's up with you?
Ahri: it's better you don't know, anyway, have you seen Grey?
Brite: no.
Ezreal: I thought he was with you.
Ahri: no he isn't, do you know where he could be?
Brite: knowing Grey, he's either training or at the garden.
Ahri: will, I'm going to look for him.
???: that won't be necessary.
We turned around and saw Kayle standing there, she has a tray of food.
Ahri: hi Kayle, what do you mean? Did Grey get sent on another mission?
Kayle: (sits down) no, but Garen talked to the high summoners a few hours ago telling them that Grey is doing him a favor back in Demacia, something about being a bodyguard.
Lux: oh right! Garen is leaving for Noxus today.
Aki: why would he need Grey to be a bodyguard?
Lux: I think it's the weather, last night a crazy storm showed up and is still around.
Ezreal: I guess that would put people on guard... anyway, Brite you were telling me about miracles.
Brite: oh right, we have something called miracles to help us defeat great foes, and we do them using these.
Brite pulled out a red and white talisman.
Brite: this is a talisman, it is used to preform miracles after you learn them, I know a healing miracle, attack boost increase, a weapon enhance, and the most common one, the lighting spear.
Ezreal: Grey did mention that one.
Aki: the way I see it, you'll be great support to your team.
Annie: hey everyone.
We saw Annie running towards us with her own lunch and some that's for Silver, speaking of him he ran up and jumped besides me where I started to pet him.
Ahri: hi Annie, hi Silver.
Annie: is Grey gone again?
Ahri: yeah, but this time he's helping Garen.
Annie: oh, ok.
I started eating lunch but I started feeling a little guilty.
I just realized that me and Nidalee just left Grey without asking if he wants to go with either of us, I guess I'll apologize when I see him.
Hopefully he isn't mad... or worse, on a date with some girl.
Sona POV:
I'm really having fun hanging out with Grey, we finished breakfast and started walking around Demacia.
Right now it's late afternoon and the sun will start sitting in a while, right now we were going to the park.
Grey: so do you go there often?
Sona: (nod)[yes, it's really peaceful and it's a great place to see the sun set]
We reached the garden and found a place near a fountain in the middle.
We laid back and just rested there, the sun began to set and the sky is an orange color now.
I have to admit, laying here, in the peaceful park and with Grey, it was truly wonderful.
We just laid there for a while, we got up when the sun already was gone.
Grey: wow, I didn't feel the time flow by, so what do you want to do now?
Sona: [let's head back to my home, we can have dinner there]
Grey: alright.
Grey got up and offers me his hand, I didn't need it but I liked it, so I took his hand and sat up while bringing my etwahl besides me.
We started walking through the streets and after fifteen minutes we reached my home, or Manor that Is.
It had metal gates with blue decorations, it mostly looked a place for a concert, after we got in one of the maids showed up.
Maid: miss Sona, it's good to see you back, and you must be the abyss watcher, we were informed of your arrival.
Grey: it's a pleasure to meet you.
Sona: [is my mother home?]
Thankfully my maids learned sign language for more communication.
Maid: sadly no, house Laurent just posted a new patch of paintings and put it in an auction, she went there to see if there's anything of interest.
Sona: [alright, is dinner ready?]
Maid: yes, right this way.
We went with the maid to reach a long table with lots of chairs, but only two had food in front of them.
We sat down and began to eat, I see Grey having a little problem.
Sona: [is everything ok?]
Grey: yes... it's just that I'm not used to this luxury.
Sona: (silent chuckle) [well I hope you enjoy the food]
Grey: the food is great, thank you...
I knew something was troubling him.
Sona: [is something wrong?]
Grey: (sigh) it's that storm.
Sona: [what about it?]
Grey: something about it feels... wrong, like I should be there.
I notice he was really troubled by it, I have to agree that the storm didn't look normal at all.
Sona: [I have an idea, why don't we rest for the night, and tomorrow we'll go to the mountain to see what's up with that storm]
Grey: thank you Sona.
Sona: [don't worry about it]
We finished dinner in silence, after that we got up and went to the hall way to find the same maid from before.
Maid: miss Sona, I'm here to tell you that we prepared one of the guest rooms for the Abyss watcher, it's the one besides your's.
Sona: [thank you, your dismissed, just wake us up tomorrow for breakfast]
Maid: yes ma'am.
The maid left and I guided Grey to his room, I went back to mine and sat my etwahl besides my bed, changed my clothes, laid down and closed my eyes.
I have to admit that knowing that Grey is in the next room gave me a peaceful feeling of being... safe, I don't know how to explain it, but I like it.
Ahri POV:
I woke up next morning in bed, alone, I guess I'm a little upset because Grey was supposed to spend the night with me.
I got out of bed and finished my morning routine, when I got out, Nidalee was on the couch with Silver on her lab.
Ahri: morning.
Nidalee: yeah, morning.
Ahri: so what do you want to do?
Nidalee: just wait for Grey I guess.
Ahri: yeah, figures... so let's go get some breakfast.
She nodded and we both went out to get to the dinning hall, when we got there we found Ezreal and Lux... with a completely shocked look?
They were looking at a newspaper, and it looks like it's pretty important, so we gave Silver his food and sat down.
Ahri: hey guys, what's up?
They both tense up for some reason and try to hide the newspaper.
Lux: uh... hey guys(nervous chuckle) how's it going?
Nidalee: what's wrong with you two?
Ezreal: nothing! Nothing at all.
Ahri: what with the newspaper?
Lux: (hides newspaper) what newspaper?
Ahri: .... Lux, (raises hand) give me the newspaper.
Lux: ........... (gives newspaper) your not gonna like what you see.
I took the newspaper and saw the front page with Nidalee taking a look and it said...... WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE IS THIS???
''''new league of legends power couple, the Maven of the strings and Farron's undead legion seen dating in a Café, the Abyss watcher admitted that he'll ruin he's reputation in front of everyone to portect Sona even to the point where he drew his weapons''''
And below that was a picture of Grey and some blue haired girl sitting together and eating.
I can feel the fur on my tails stand from anger, I even ended up setting the newspaper on fire with magic.
Nidalee was just as bad, I can hear an angry inhuman growl as I saw her eyes turn to slits.
Ahri: what is this suppose to be?!? I thought Grey was being a bodyguard?
Lux: he is... but he's apparently Sona's bodyguard.
Nidalee: well just go and tell him to come back here!
Lux: I can't, Garen isn't coming back till tonight.
Ahri: well DO SOMETHING!
She was getting nervous and I can see she'd take her first chance to run for it.
Lux: u-uhmm... h-how about I go see what's that about? I'm pretty sure it's just a misunderstanding.
Ahri/Nidalee: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR THEN???
Lux: I'm going right now!
Lux immediately stands up and runs to the transport station, I can see that Ezreal is pretty much worried about his life, I didn't care about him right now.
This can't be right! There's no way Grey would just date that girl, I better get some answers or someone is gonna get hurt... and right now, Ezreal is the only one around me and Nidalee.
Third POV:
Sona was awoken by the maid from before, she got up and got dressed and went to see Grey.
She found him still asleep in his bed and his armor near his bed, she shook him by the shoulder and after a few seconds he woke up.
Grey: oh... morning Sona.
Sona: [good morning, we should get ready, we're going to the mountain remember?]
Grey: oh... right.
Grey got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath, she sat down and started playing a few notes on her etwahl.
Something caught Sona's attention among Grey's armor, she moved closer and then held it in her hands.
It was an emblem, deep shade of green and a wolf's head in it, here eyes widen recognizing it from her dream.
Grey got out drying his hair, he removed the towel and saw Sona.
Grey: hey Sona, what are you looking at.
She turned around and showed him what was in her hands.
Grey: oh, my pledge.
Sona: (gives Pledge) [so what is it]
Grey: my Pledge, think of it as a badge that proofs your an abyss watcher, I had it since I was a baby.
Sona: [really? I had my etwahl since I was a baby too, it's magically linked to me]
Grey: (chuckle) that just gives us more in common.
Grey proceeds to put on his armor, he finished and they both went to get breakfast.
They finished it quickly and went to the streets of Demacia headed to the mountain where the storm still resides.
On the way, a familiar person approached them.
???: hey!
They both turned around and saw Lux approach them.
Grey: oh, good morning Lux.
Lux: yeah, morning, you don't mind if I talk to Sona for a few seconds, do you?
Grey: uhmm... sure.
Lux takes Sona a little further out of earshot, and tells her about today's newspaper.
Sona immediately blushed, she didn't mind that people thought that she and Grey were dating, but she did mind that it was just puplished like that.
When Lux was done, Sona took out a small board she has to talk to others and wrote down.
Sona: '''so why did you bring me here?'''.
Lux: you see, Ahri and Nidalee aren't really happy, and maybe you can do something about it.
Sona knew who they are from Grey, she thought about it and smiled at Lux while writing.
Sona: '''don't worry, I was just treating him to breakfast, I'll fix this up'''.
Lux: thanks Sona, your the best.
Lux turned around and left, then Sona's smile turned sinister but returned to normal when she got back with Grey.
Grey: what was that about?
Sona: [nothing, I'm just gonna do an errand for her on our way].
Grey: sure.
The went to continue their way, they stopped by a building where Sona got in to do her errand for Lux, she got out and they continued.
The closer they got to the storm the stronger the winds became, and the clouds were getting thicker too.
It got to the point where they couldn't see the city anymore, right now, they were in a big open field.
They were about to keep going but Grey raised his hand and stopped Sona.
Grey: something... is coming.
They both saw something in the distance, it was... a dragon?
It was big, had a violet color and it's wings were covered in feathers, it also had a person on top of it.
The storm prevented them from seeing him clearly but they can see some things.
He had long white hair that flowed wildly and was also holding a big swordspear.
The dragon landed in front of them and made a roar, it flew again and landed behind them.
Grey immediately pulls Sona and jumps out of the way avoiding a strike from the man's swordspear.
He gets up and jumped back to strike the dragon, but it did little damage.
Grey: "urghh, where's Brite when you need him".
The man struck again with his swordspear, Grey was able to dodge but still was gazed on the shoulder.
He jumped back where Sona floated besides him, she played a few notes and released green aura.
Grey felt the pain from his shoulder vanish and nodded to Sona.
The dragon flew back in the air and started circling them, the man on it raised his hand and lighting gathered in it forming a spear which he threw at them.
They both jump out of the way, and Grey stands up stunned.
Grey: "that was a lightning spear... but I didn't see him holding any talisman!"
The dragon was still circling them, and then the man on it jumps off and lands in front of them.
He swipes his swordspear on the ground sending a giant wave of air, which Grey jumped over and Sona simply dodged.
The man pulls back his swordspear and it glows and becomes coverd in lighting.
Grey knew what was coming so he pushed Sona out of the way, the man dashed forward with incredible speed and stabbed Grey.
He raised his swordspear with Grey on it and then an explosion of lightning struck Grey.
The man threw Grey and he landed near Sona who looked at him horrified, she looked at the man who started walking slowly towards her.
But then he stopped as the sound of a wolf's howling was heard, blood appeared from the ground and floated to Grey where it disappeared inside him.
Grey's sword caught fire and he started standing up, once he stood completely, he immediately took a stance.
Sona was amazed, she heard about this and Lux told her he can do that but it was the first time seeing.
Meanwhile, the man just stood there, shocked.
Man: your...
He didn't get a chance to speak as Grey dashed forward swinging his sword, the man avoided the strike but not the explosion of fire that followed afterwards.
Grey turned around with another swing that struck, he anchored his knife for another strike then pulled out his knife and jumped swinging his sword downwards, each strike was followed by an explosion of fire.
The man was sent skipping back a few meters and there was slight smoke coming off of him from the attacks.
Man: so you really are one.
The dragon that's been circling the sky landed behind the man and reeled back it's head ready to breath fire.
Sona floated besides Grey ready to help him In anyway she can while Grey took another stance, but the man spoke.
Man: STOP!
The dragon immediately stopped it's attempt to breath fire while Grey and Sona were confused.
Man: you... your a lord of cinder.
Grey was surprised the man knew what he is, he relaxed his stance while the man waved his hand calming down the storm around them.
Now they can see his features more clearly.
He looked to be Garen's age and was slightly taller than Grey, he wore a golden scale like armor with rags looking like a scarf, a big crown on his head, golden bracelets on his hands and bandages on his legs.
Grey's flames started dying down until they completely vanished.
Man: your an abyss watcher as well, and here I thought they all died.
Grey: you know what I am?
Man: of course I do, the abyss watchers are the followers of Artorias and the only people that fight the Abyss.
Grey: then... that means your from my world?
Man: your world? What do you mean?
Grey: (sigh)... this is going to be a long story.
