The Birth of Light
Darius listed a whole bunch of destabilizing factors in Noxus, but ultimately it all boils down to LeBlanc's stance. 🎉✌ 👣♔
However, I'm more optimistic. I don't think LeBlanc is our enemy; on the contrary, she might even be our friend.
The seemingly chaotic historical process is actually not complicated to unravel. LeBlanc initially chose to help the Allied forces overthrow Mordekaiser.
Later, when purged by successive Darkwill, they did not retaliate fiercely; instead, they helped Brawn Darkwill consolidate his rule.
Later, she chose Swain over Emperor Brawn Swain, thus allowing them to succeed in their coup.
Objectively speaking, none of her actions harmed the civilians of Noxus, and Noxus's national strength continued to grow.
She also had some interactions with me, such as teleporting me to a large ship bound for Ionia, guiding me to see her, and giving me some prophetic content, etc.
What worries me most is a sentence she once said: she saw an interesting destiny in me.
After I finished speaking, Darius nodded. If she was willing to become our friend, she would definitely be a great help.
Now that we've covered the current situation in Noxus, all that's left is the scattered continent of Ionia. Everyone's eyes are on me, the meaning of which is self-evident.
I need to return to Ionia to discuss this further. For now, let's summarize the issues, mainly the three major calamities: the Void, the Shadow Isles, and the Vastaya. With clear objectives, we now have a direction to move forward.
Every organization and every action needs a leader, and in every respect, Darius is qualified for this role.
Finally, it was time to name our organization. Looking at our newly elected leader, Darius didn't hesitate:
"Light, let's call our organization Light."
No one objected, especially Sivir, who strongly supported it. He was Ascended chosen by the sun and had a special fondness for light.
The establishment of "Light" signifies the successful conclusion of this meeting, and the alliance has been formally established!
There were no ceremonies or celebrations; the meeting began and ended uneventfully.
It was already evening, Camille didn't offer us dinner or lodging, so everyone tactfully left.
Ashe and Tryndamere wanted to travel around before returning, especially to Warwick's former residence, which they felt they needed to visit.
Jarvan and Shvana set off immediately. After his hasty departure from Demacia last time, he was now fulfilling his responsibilities as a king.
Gangplank didn't plan to go back yet. He wanted to talk to Jorba and Korod about the trade. Although the previous misunderstanding had been cleared up, it was because I had interfered in the middle, and they hadn't yet made things clear between themselves.
Darius and I are traveling together; he's heading back to Noxus, while I'm going to Ionia via a portal. However, it's getting late, so we plan to set off tomorrow.
Sivir was also planning to leave tomorrow, but tonight she insisted on staying with me, clinging to me and telling me about her past experiences, and saying that friends need to get to know each other better.
Darius chose not to help; he rented two rooms, took one for himself, and left me and Sivir in the other.
I was completely helpless. I couldn't even force her to leave when faced with such an Ascended. So I could only tell her about my travels.
She was easy to coax and fell asleep in no time. I also took the opportunity to rest, as I was going to Ionia tomorrow.
I don't know how long I slept, but I suddenly felt a surge of heat. When I opened my eyes, I found Sivir lying on top of me!
She was completely naked, exuding tenderness. I tried to struggle but couldn't move at all, and even more strangely, I couldn't make a sound!
Could it be that Sivir controlled me with her power? I stopped resisting and instead enjoyed the feeling. After all, I am not a saint and still have human emotions and desires.
Only when the wildfire within me gradually rose and then suddenly died down did Sivir leave my body, and I, feeling utterly exhausted, fell into a deep sleep.
I woke up suddenly at daybreak and found that Sivir was still asleep on the bed next to me. We were both dressed properly, just as we were when we went to sleep last night.
It was just a dream, and I breathed a sigh of relief, but I quickly felt immense guilt. I knew I had wronged Riven, but I hadn't felt any unease at the time.
Perhaps my will is not strong enough, but I will take this as a warning and never let such a thing happen again!
After a while, Darius came over, smiling, and said it was time to leave. Only then did Sivir wake up, watching us leave with reluctance.
Darius and I walked all the way to the deserted village north of Piltover, and then we parted ways. Using the portal there, I officially set off for Ionia!
This time, using the portal, I landed safely.
The first few times I went through the area with Riven, she always landed smoothly, while I would either fall or stumble several steps before regaining my balance.
Now he wants to show off, but all he has around him are soldiers guarding the portal.
I don't know where she is now, but I believe that when we meet again, she will be a completely new person!
Well then, I'll have to work hard too!
Ionia has changed a bit since then. Although it still has a pristine atmosphere, there are many more pedestrians on the streets.
Since establishing communication with Noxus, interactions between people have become more frequent, and people here who used to be resistant to new things are now more accepting of them.
Last time, Poppy and I came here to find a great hero, and it seems like this time is similar; I need a hero-level person to help me.
Where should I travel? After thinking for a while, I decided to go to Prexian to find Talon and find out about the current situation in Ionia.
Passing by the Sunon Temple stirred up my memories. This place was once the front line against Swain, and many Ionia, inspired by the four Harbinger, gathered around Irelia.
After numerous clashes, they eventually united under the influence of Ember.
Since we're already here, why not go in and visit Karma? She's young, but as Harbinger Spiritual Power is quite strong.
When I arrived at the temple, I found the doors tightly shut. I knocked hard, but there was no response; instead, a lot of dust fell from the doors.
It looks like no one's been here for a long time. As Western Harbinger, where has Karma gone instead of guarding the temple?
Well, since she's not here, I won't linger. I continued on my way and arrived at the Wind Sword Sect before nightfall.
Returning to this familiar place, I realized that more than a year had passed, and the Wind Sword Sect no longer existed.
This place is exactly as it was when Riven and I left, except the bodies of the dead are gone; they look like they were eaten by wild beasts.
I went to the place where Souma was buried to pay my respects, then found a stone and used my Gale Sword to carve it into a stone tablet, leaving Souma's name on it.
He taught me the Wind Riding Technique, and I have no way to repay him except to erect a monument for him with the purest Wind Force.
