Artye di wer Sargti

   Uvel looked up at the sun through the window in Twilight's room.  He had woken up in the room by himself, the door locked, and all the other exits sealed. Occasionally the door would open a crack and put in food and drink for him. 'Of course, double crossed by my own mother and made a prisoner.' The dream kept coming back to him, and Kog'Maw's words seemed real. Betrayed by the ones he loved. He had also heard another voice behind the door, most likely the dragon that served as Twilight's assistant. The book that Uvel had found under Twilight's bed said that his name was Spike.

The sunlight that shone through the balcony mocked him with promise of false hope. Uvel tried, once again, to melt the wall with his acid. He was met with the same result, the spell on the tree would completely vaporize every ounce of the liquid. Uvel was filled with a mix of feelings. He sat there, on the soft bed of his former mother, thinking. Tink, Whoosh

The noise interrupted his thoughts, and caused him to look toward the sound. Something had hit the door that led to the balcony, and now it now stood ajar. 'Something must have opened the door from outside.' Uvel thought to himself, 'This might be a way out!' He jumped off the bed and scurried toward the door. Filled with hope, he ran through and looked over the edge. Something was staring at him from the shadows behind the house. It moved its hand in a  gesture that meant to follow it. Uvel steeled himself and jumped off the balcony, landing in a bush beside the house.

The creature stared down with one feline eye and ran off toward the  Everfree Forest, when the beast stepped into the light it appeared only as a disoriented part of the air. It ran to the forest, stopped at the treeline, and waved a hand toward it before running into the woods. Uvel turned back to look at Golden Oaks Library one last time, and ran off toward the trees. A feminine scream came from behind him as he headed into the forest. The sound of frantic hoofsteps and much screaming emitted from behind him as he finally met with a humid tree covered path that led deep into the trees. He tripped several times, and after falling down a hole his frustration hit it's limit. He moved back up to the surface and let loose on the surrounding trees, melting them and destroying the ground around them.

Black and green sludge flowed across the ground in sickening streams, melting into the dirt and making holes that cut into the earth. He stopped for a second and the creature run past him, showing a path through what remained of the trees. Uvel scurried after it, following the blur through the bush and vegetation. Uvel started to hear the faint clicking of metal behind him, as well as a few deep voices talking to each other. He pushed himself forward, forcing his legs to move faster. Of course, since his body took up about eighty-four percent of his body, he didn't move very fast and had stubby legs. The clanking sound got louder, urging him to continue.

He hit something, and stopped there. Looking up, the sunlight was reflecting off the creature he was following. It had stopped and was listening to the clanking. It grabbed something from its side, a rope with balls at the end, which had small metal hooks on each ball. The beast threw it behind Uvel into the brush, and the sound of something falling down came from the shrubs. The light changed, and Uvel felt himself being picked up. The two charged through the forest, slashing and melting the trees that got in their way, since they had long veered off the dirt path.

A feeling of falling occurred to Uvel, and he took in his surroundings. Or at least he would have if he hadn't just fallen into a river. Uvel opened his eyes underwater, the sting of salt water burning his eyes and leaving him confused. Suddenly, he was lifted from the water in a bubble, and saw a half woman half fish creature with a staff lifting him and the other creature from the water. The other creature was now visible, and very upset at getting soaked in water. It was thrashing around try to escape from the odd salt water river. It had white fur, one good eye, a sword in its sheath, two blades attached to the creature's left arm, and it was wearing an odd assortment of leather clothing with a mix of armor.

Uvel did his best to stifle a laugh, and the woman set them both down onto the river bank beside her. "Come on, we may not be the bad guys, but try explaining that to the Royal Guards." The woman said in an annoyed tone as she started floating through the treeline. Uvel and the cat creature follow her as she went, and after a few minutes, the woman stopped. She was staring at some kind of opaque shield, which looked to be the top of a semi-circle. It looked to go on for quite at while at the sides, until curving off into another direction. "This way. Rengar help our little friend through." She said.

The cat, which Uvel presumed was Rengar, picked him up and calmly walked through the barrier. The woman followed after him and Uvel got a tingling feeling as he passed through the slightly blue barrier. Uvel looked back, and saw three guards stop at the shield, staring at them with malice. They began to trot away, and disappeared into the treeline. The fish woman laughed, "The guards can't pass the shield, since they aren't Champions. My name's Nami by the way." She smiled as the three of them walked toward a large structure made of stone and crystal.

Six floating statues holding staffs surrounded a crystal that was shaped like a diamond in the middle, being around it gave Uvel a feeling of happiness and victory, wherever his enemies lie. Nami and Rengar led him into a building made of marble that had a curved top and pillars supporting the roof along with walls of finely chiseled marble. The doors were made of fine mahogany with gold knobs. Upon entrance, Uvel saw what looked like a council gathered together. Champions that he recalled from Kog'Maw's memories sat in chairs discussing small problems within the encampment.

At the head of the council currently sat a man wearing a leather jacket. His hair was blonde and had two triangles under his eyes. He was discussing problems with the power systems around the camp, while other Champions sat around him, thinking over the problem and waiting their turn at the head of the council. Nami walked toward the middle of the council and spoke up, "We brought the little one." The man looked down at Uvel and smiled.

"Well aren't you a cute little fella?" He said, in a mocking tone, Uvel frowned.

"I'm going to melt your face off." He calmly said, and the man scowled.

"We can improve your attitude later, right now you have to get ready. The other champions that came here are plotting to take it over, while all the others have remained neutral up to this point. It's time to pick a side." He said, looking around as the others in the council nodded their approval. Nami smiled, and Rengar started fiddling with his belt. A Champion in golden armor, with wings sprouting from its back spoke up in a female voice.

"If we have any chance of stopping the other Champions, then we need to win over the favor of all the neutral Champions to fight for our side! Syndra already has quite the fighting force, and we need all the help we can get to stop her." She said, sitting down once again. One of the other Champions rose from his seat, covered in armor with a large sword sitting next to him or Garen, as Kog'Maw's memories depict. He stood with demeanor and courage.

"There is also the problem with the uh...darker champions." He said, which caused much chatter amongst the Champions. A few tried to quiet the others down, but to no avail. "Quiet, quiet people. I wasn't done." Garen said, looking around, daring anyone to meet his eyes. "Very well, as it seems the other champions have also crafted their own Nexus, and if they continue to gain power then a war might be on our hands. Now as I was saying with the darker of the champions, the magic in this world is affecting their behavior and altering their physical form, as well as their natural abilities."

Several champions nodded, many with a glint of understanding in their eyes. The man at the front looked around again, before stepping down from the podium and allowed another to step up. Nami tapped Uvel and started out the building. Uvel followed her, but Rengar stayed in the building talking with someone in a blue ninja suit. As they walked through the camp, Uvel watched several champions walk around. Most likely on their way to do tasks assigned to them.  A few were watching the Nexus, writing down notes and a few were walking around the barrier shooing off the local wildlife.

Uvel watched with interest as a few champions threw punches and kicks at target dummies, while others fired off spells and miscellaneous projectiles at wooden targets hundreds of yards away. Suddenly, Nami grabbed Uvel and dived to the ground, covering her ears. Several yells split the air as something flew threw the sky and impacted a target dummy. A loud explosion ripped through the general quiet and sent shrapnel and dirt in all directions. A female stood up, wearing light armor adorned with many Suns, she turned around and yelled, "DANGIT ZIGGS! Warn us before you do that!" Her words were followed by crazed laughter as everyone went back to their normal activities, muttering the occasional curse.

Nami shook her head and frowned, "I swear, he's going to seriously hurt someone one of these days. He constantly blows up dummies and even sets tents on fire." Uvel followed close behind, his ears ringing from the explosion. He muttered several insults to himself and followed Nami through the encampment. She stopped at a rectangular tent with a sign on it that simply said "Barracks". She floated in and pointed to a small bed near the back of the tent in a dark corner. "That's your new bed. Don't like it? Too bad, we all have to sleep on them. Well, except for me, I sleep in a pond." She said, yawning in the process.

"You'll probably be assigned a job tomorrow, as everybody is. You'd better get some sleep, the work gets tiring on the first day. I'm going back to my pond. Night." Nami then proceeded to float lazily out of the barracks tent, and went on her way. The Sun dipped below the horizon, turning the sky a beautiful violet. Uvel looked at his bed, yawning quietly and watched as a few other champions walked into the tent and muttered good nights to each other before falling into sleep's embrace. Following their example, Uvel plopped down onto the bed in the same manner of a pancake. It didn't take very long for him to fall asleep, but dark dreams awaited him.
