Abyss Watcher In The League V2 - 41 CH40

Ahri was in the arcade playing a few video games. There were a few men who thought of making a move on her, but seeing her mood immediately made them rethink their decision.

“Oh come on!” the fox Vastaya yelled kicking the game. “This is rigged or something!” she yelled frustrated.

The Nine-Tailed Vastayan was in the arcade for an hour. She thought that it could help her calm down, but it just made her more frustrated.

“Urghh, whatever!” Ahri groaned as she started walking out of the arcade. She went through the hallway and towards the dining. The Vastayan was praying that Lux has her answers, or else.

When she reached her friends in the dining hall, she saw that the young Crownguard had returned and immediately went to her, “So?”

“Turns out, it was just a misunderstanding.” Lux cleared up which lifted up Ahri’s mood. “The date thing was just something she was treating him to breakfast, and the marriage thing was him doing her a favor. And, I heard that the newspapers were being collected already.”

Ahri sighed in relief before sitting down. ‘That’s better. I knew Grey wouldn’t date a girl, certainly not behind my back.’

“So, Ahri, what will you do for now?” Aki asked.

“I’ll just wait for Grey.” the fox Vastaya replied resting her head on her hand.

“Me too.” Nidalee added. “I have to admit, it’s boring without him around.”

“Yeah, trouble always did find Grey.” Brite said before doing the signature sun Praising pose. “That’s because he doesn’t praise the sun!” he said which made some people roll their eyes.

“Hey, Nine tails.” someone said from behind. They looked and saw that it was the charmer and rebel, together like always.

“Hi, you two. It’s been a while.” Ahri said as the lovers brought two seats from another table and sat down with them.

“Yeah.” Xayah replied looking like she was going to tell them about a funeral. “So… have you seen the newspaper?”

“Oh, that’s what this is about.” the nine tailed Vastayan understood why the rebel was trying to sound kind. “Don’t worry, it’s just a big misunderstanding. We already cleared it up.”

Xayah sighed leaning back on her chair. “Oh, thank the spirits of Ionia! because I did NOT know how to comfort someone who had their heart broken.”

“See, I told you it wasn’t true.” Rakan said wiggling his eyebrows. “I knew that Grey wouldn’t leave her.”

“Wait, how would you know?” Ahri asked intrigued.

“It’s… a guy thing.” the charmer replied not wanting to tell them about his talk with the Abyss Watcher about his feelings.

The huntress then remembered something, “Hey, Brite, you said that Grey beat his father in battle. Why were they fighting to begin with? Was it a test?” she asked while petting Silver who was on her lap.

“Sorry, but that’s up to Grey. I don’t feel comfortable talking about someone else’s life without their permission.” Brite replied shrugging.

“So you’re the guy from Grey’s world?” Rakan asked looking at him. “Are you like him? You know, undead?”

The Silver Knight nodded “Yes, I am.” he replied.

Aki then looked at him worried. “D-Does that mean that you have it?… The Darksign?”

“Yes.” Brite answered, but his cheerful attitude didn’t falter. “I have the curse of the undead. Honestly, it’s more common to find an accursed undead in our world than a normal human.”

“Hey, what is this curse anyway?” Xayah asked with her lover sharing the question in his head. “Nine tails said that the Abyss Watcher is cursed to be an undead, does it have something to do with that?”

“Trust me, you are not going to like what you hear.” Ahri said before she started explaining what the Darksign is with Brite filling in for what she missed out.

When the fox Vastaya was done, both Lovers had a look of horror and disgust. “Something… like that actually exists?” Rakan asked.

“Yes.” Brite nodded. “I and Grey already died countless times, and that’s only counting the times we saw it happen to each other.”

“But aren’t you worried?” Aki asked, fear obvious in her voice. “Grey told us what happens. He told us about going Hollow. Aren’t you worried about that?!”

Surprisingly, Brite chuckled. “Honestly, now I’m not because there aren’t any Bonfires in Runeterra. Even back in my world, I wasn’t worried, because if I went Hollow, I know Grey will take me down.”

“Wait, you expect your friend to kill you?” Xayah asked as she and the others looked at him in disbelief.

Brite shook his head. “When someone is taken by the Abyss or went Hollow, the only kindness you can give them is a quick end. I was already planning to deal with Grey, should he become Hollow.”

“Still, to know that your friend is going to kill you one day.” Nidalee mumbled.

“Like I said, it is nothing but showing mercy.” Brite repeated.

In Demacia:

Grey just finished explaining to the man where they were, and apparently, he was from Grey’s world as well.

Sona just in silence but kept her Etwahl ready. The dragon was standing behind the man ready to attack on command.

“So, we are in an entirely different world.” the man started rubbing his chin and the Abyss Watcher nodded in confirmation. “I see, do you know of a way back?”

At that question, Grey shook his head in denial. “Sadly, no. I do not.”

“I see.” the man sighed. The dragon then made a Groan and brought its head to the man’s side. “Easy, old friend.” the man stroked the dragon’s head. “We’ll get through this.”

The Abyss Watcher couldn’t help but think of a way to help the man. He reminded Grey of himself when he came to this world for the first… before he went to the Institute with Ahri.

“Wait… why don’t you go with us to the Institute of War?” Grey asked.

The man looked at him confused. “The Institute of War? What is it.”

The Lord of Cinder started explaining what the Institute is and about the League of Legends. The man was very interested in the subject.

“So it is a place to solve political issues without the need for bloodshed and to avoid war.” the man concluded.

“That is correct.” Grey nodded.

The hummed in thought before nodding. “Very well, I will accompany you to this Institute.”

Sona then snapped her fingers drawing Grey’s attention. She started making signs, [Grey, I don’t mind helping you and this guy, but the dragon might cause some havoc.]

The Abyss Watcher realized she was right while the man recognized the hand gestures as sign language. “Your friend cannot speak?”

“No, but that’s not important. How are we going to get your friend there without scaring people?” Grey asked motioning to the dragon.

The man looked at his companion before pointing at the sky. “Storm, wait for my signal, and don’t draw attention.”

The dragon roared before jumping in the air flying to the sky and disappearing in the clouds.

“Are you sure it’s wise? To leave him alone, I mean.” the Abyss Watcher asked wondering if it was a good Idea to leave the dragon alone.

“It’s alright. He won’t attack anyone without a reason, and when we’re in a safe location I’ll call for him.” the man assured him.

“Very well, let us go… uh.” Grey trailed off not knowing the man’s name. “Excuse, but what is your name.”

Sona didn’t know whether to chuckle or to face-palm at the question or more specifically, it’s timing.

Meanwhile, the man was about to answer but stopped looking like he was struggling. “S… So… Sol…” hehe shook his head. “I’m sorry, but it’s been so long since I heard my own name by anyone, that I seem to have forgotten about it.”

“I see.” Grey hummed in thought. This wasn’t the first time he met an undead that forgotten their own name, but that means that this man was rather ancient. “Do you at least have a title to go by?”

The man nodded, “Yes. I remember my name was erased, so my people call me the Nameless King. But, I remember that I was once the Sun’s First Born.” To say Grey was shocked would be an understatement.

True, the Abyss Watchers didn’t worship Gwyn or his children, but they still understood their huge roll on history.

“You’re… the firstborn.” Grey repeated. “That explains how you used a lightning spear without a Talisman.” he noted. Since it was the first born, he has a part of the soul of light.

“Now, do you mind giving me yours?” the First Born asked not knowing the champions’ name.

“Of course, my name is Grey Ashnex and this is Sona.” Grey said motioning to the mute girl.

Grey’s name caught the man’s attention. ‘Ashnex? Where have I heard that before?’

“Now, let’s get going.” The First Born’s thoughts were cut off by Grey.

The Nameless King nodded and they all started walking out of the storm heading back to Demacia.

Time skip: (Brought to you by chibi Sona holding Chibi Grey so she doesn’t get blown away by the storm.)

Grey, Sona, and the Sun’s First Born were walking the streets of Demacia and heading to the transport station.

They were getting curious glances, but they were ignored as they continued walking towards the familiar building.

Once they walked inside, the summoner there stood attention. “Ah, hello, champions. Going back to the Institute?”

“Yes.” Grey nodded and motioned to the Nameless King. “And this man is coming with us. He is a potential champion.”

The summoner nodded. “Very well, stand in the circle please.” he says motioning to the rune circle.

The three of them did what the summoner told them and with a few hand motions, the summoner cast the spell and they were gone.

When they appeared inside the Institute, the Nameless King shook his head. “That… was odd.”

“You get used to it.” Grey said as they walked out of the Transport station.

Walking through the hallway, the only lights being the ones from magical crystals on the walls since it was pretty late today.

They entered the dining hall and Grey noticed his friends. Walking towards them, he called them out. “Hey, everyone.”

A pair of fox ears immediately perked up recognizing the voice. Ahri was the first to greet back. “Grey!” she jumped from her seat and went for a hug.

“Good to see you again, Ahri.” The Abyss Watcher replied returned the hug before letting go. He then caught Silver who jumped at him from the table. “It’s good to see you too, Silver.”

The wolf pup barked as Grey sat it on his shoulder. Lux then went to the Maven. “Hi, Sona. Good to see you.”

Sona took out her board and started writing. <It’s good to see you too, Lux.>

Nidalee raised an eyebrow noticing the board. “What’s with the board?” she asked.

“Sona can’t speak.” Grey cleared up making his second roommate tense.

“Oh, sorry.” The Huntress apologized only for the mute girl to wave it off.

Brite stood besides Grey pointing at the unknown man. “So who is this?” he asked.

“Oh, right.” The Abyss Watcher prepared for the introduction and the reaction of the Warrior of Sunlight. “Brite, this is the Sun’s First Born.”

“Oh.” Brite just stood there before raising his hand the Nameless King. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Likewise.” The Nameless King replied accepting the handshake.

While the two were shaking hands, Grey leaned towards Ezreal. “This isn’t the reaction I expected.” he said expecting more enthusiasm from Brite meets what could be the leader of all the Warriors of Sunlight.

“Well, what did you expect?” The Explorer asked.

Before the Abyss Watcher replies, the Nameless King lets go of Brite’s hand… only for him to fall like a statue on his back completely out-cold.

“… I expected THAT to happen.” Grey said.

“Brite!” Aki asked in worry as she began to check on the now unconscious Silver Knight.

“Is… he alright?” The Sun’s First Born asked worried that he might have done something.

“He’s fine, he’s just a Warrior of Sunlight.” Grey cleared out before looking at The Nameless King. “Anyway, we should get you to join, let’s go to the high summoners.”

The Sun’s First Born nodded and followed Grey after taking a glance at Brite. When they were gone, Sona took a seat besides Grey’s roommates.

“So you’re Sona? It’s nice to meet you.” Ahri greeted the mute girl. At first, she was angry but when it was revealed that the newspaper was just a misunderstanding she calmed down.

‘so this is the nine tailed fox.’ Sona mentally mused before writing on her board. <It’s nice to meet you too. Your tails look really pretty.>

“Thanks. Your hair looks pretty too.” Ahri returned the compliment. ‘Seriously though, she’s really pretty. I’m actually worried that she might seduce Grey before me.’

Meanwhile, the Abyss Watcher and the Sun’s First Born made it to the High summoners chamber.

When they got inside, the High Summoners turned their attention towards them. When the Grand Summoner’s eyes landed on the Nameless King, they began to moisten with tears.

“Abyss Watcher, state your business here.” the Noxian summoner said.

“I believe that I have a potential champion.” Grey replied before motioning to the Nameless King. “This man is from my world, he was considered a God of War.”

“Very well, he’s Judgement will be tom-”

“He’s Judgement will be now!” the Grand Summoner cut off the Noxian summoner catching everyone off guard. “Abyss Watcher, you may leave.”

Grey was still a little shocked of the outburst, but he still turned around and walked out of the chamber.

The other High Summoners were curious about the Grand Summoner’s behavior, but they decided to trust the man that created the Institute.

When the Lord of Cinder came out of the room, the High Summoners started the Judgement and the Nameless King was surrounded by light.

Inside the Judgement:

The Sun’s First Born opened his eyes and found himself in a large place the resembled the inside of a tree.

In the middle of the place was a sword with a spiral blade stuck in the ground with some flames coming out of it.

Besides the sword, was a man as large as the Nameless King. He had a large beard connected to his shoulder-length hair. His skin was as pale as ash his eyes couldn’t be seen. He was wearing a mixture of black robes with golden armor and golden chains were on his waist. In his right hand was a Great-sword that was on fire.

It only took the Nameless King a couple of seconds to recognize the man. “… Father.” The man was none other than the hollowed Lord of Sunlight, Gwyn, the first Lord of Cinder.

Gwyn charged at his son before jumping towards him swinging his sword with the fire extending to increase the range of the attack.

The Nameless King used the pole of his weapon to block the attack. The flames would have hurt him, but thanks to his scale-like armor, he was fine.

“So is this it?” The Sun’s First Born asked pushing his father away. “You want me to apologize for siding with the dragons against you?”

The Nameless King swung his Sword-Spear at his father only for him to jump back and raise his hand creating a giant lightning spear and throwing it at his son.

The Nameless King moves away from the shot and glares at his father. “I never wanted to betray my family, but you forced me to!” he yelled swinging his weapon at his father.

Gwyn easily blocked the strikes and overpowered his son making him take a step back.

“I wanted to stay!” the Nameless King yelled trying to block his father’s strikes. “I wanted to see my family again! I wanted to see Gwynevere be a mother like she always wanted! I wanted to see Gwendolyn be the ruler you never allowed him to be! I wanted to meet my dear friend Ornstien again! BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED BECAUSE OF YOUR PRIDE AT HUNTING DRAGONS!”

The Hollowed Lord overpowered his son and knocked the Sword-Spear out of his hands before stabbing in his chest.

The Sun’s First Born gasped in pain. “But my greatest regret…” he coughed up some blood. “Is that I never got the chance… to tell you… that I forgive you.” he said using the last of his energy.

Upon saying that, the flames from the spiral sword in the middle intensified before covering the entire place in a blinding blaze of fire.

Outside of Judgement:

The Nameless King stood in the middle of the High Summoners chamber as the Judgement ended.

“You have passed.” the Grand Summoner said. He was the only one speaking since his outburst. “Your name shall be… Solas, the Sun’s First Born.”

“Solas…” The Sun’s First Born mumbled. “Now I remember. My name.” he said before looking up at the leaders of the Institute. “May I leave now?”

They nodded and Solas walked outside the chamber to find the current Lord of Cinder waiting for him.

“So, how did it go?” Grey asked.

“Better than expected.” the Sun’s First Born replied much to Grey’s confusion. “Now, I remember my name. I am Solas, The Sun’s First Born.”

“I’m glad to hear that.” Grey replied. He looked like he was about to say something but shook his head. “Anyway, let’s go back to the dining hall. Brite should be awake by now.”

Solas nodded and they both walked towards the dining hall. The found the Warrior of Sunlight just getting up with Aki checking his head.

“Urghh, what a dream.” Brite groaned shaking his head. “I dreamt that I met the Sun’s First Born.”

“That wasn’t a dream.” Grey said making Brite look at him with Solas standing beside him.

The Silver Knight immediately tensed. “You… you’re.”

“Calm down.” Solas said waving his hand. “There’s no need for you to be nervous.”

“R-Right, thank you.” Brite said standing up and taking a seat.

After they all sat down, some taking seats from other tables, the first one to speak was Solas. “So, Grey told me that you are a Warrior of Sunlight?” he asked Brite and said man nodded. “Do you know about a man named Solaire?”

At the mention of the name, Brite smiled with pride. “Of course I do, he is my ancestor. Hearing his legends as I grew up is the whole reason why I became a Warrior of Sunlight to begin with.”

Solas nodded before asking another question. “Do you know what happened to him?”

Brite put a hand on his chin. “Well, from what I know, he is the first person to link the fire after your father and to become a Lord of Cinder.”

“I see.” the Sun’s First Born smiled fondly while looking down. “I’m glad that he was able to achieve his dream.”

Brite raised an eyebrow. “Excuse me for asking, but did you know my ancestor?”

Solas chuckled. “Yes, I do.” he then raised his head. “He was the only person to believe in me after my father exiled me.” he said as the memory flashed in his head.

Flashback:

Solas was standing on the edge of a high cliff. There was nothing but mountains and clouds as far as the eye can see.

Dragons were flying through the sky. They would either fly around or go to their caves in the mountains.

Suddenly, Solas heard the sound of tiny thud behind him. He turned around to find… a kid?

It was a young boy, couldn’t be older than 13. He was on his knees and breathing heavily which meant that he exhausted himself to get here.

He had blonde spiky hair that was slightly dirty from the journey. He was wearing a simple white shirt with white pants and a small traveling bag was beside him.

He looked up with green eyes and they widen at the sight of the first born. “I… finally found you.” he mumbled still out of breath.

Solas realized that the boy was looking for him. “Foolish Dark Soul, what could you seek in my domain?” he asked surprising the kid. “You would find nothing, but pain and death.”

The boy stood up taking a deep breath. Gathering his courage, he spoke up. “T-They destroyed your statues and erased your name!” he yelled catching Solas off guard. “They said you were no God!”

Solas was absolutely stunned. This boy… still believed in him. As far as he knew, the only people that didn’t hate him for turning against his father were his siblings and his father’s four Knights.

But seeing this young boy, who probably went through a lot to get here, still believe in him… it truly stunned him.

“I see.” Solas rubbed his chin. “They are not untrue.” he then knelt down towards the boy. “Tell me, young one. If one achieved true victory and dominance through war, is there truly anymore need for bloodshed?” he asked.

The boy looked to struggle at the answer. “No?”

“Precisely.” Solas then stood up and looked over the hill. “Now that the truth lies bare in front of my eyes, I decided to follow my own path.” he then turned back to the boy. “Tell me, young one, what is your name and your desire.”

“M-My name is Solaire.” he then looked at Solas with nothing but determination. “And… I want to be strong, and to guide people to the light.”

“I see.” Solas raised his hand where sparks of lightning gathered before creating a golden medallion with the crest of the Warriors of Sunlight. “Then take this.” he said placing the medallion on Solaire’s neck. “As a sign of a Warrior of Sunlight.” he put his hand on the boy’s shoulder. “Seek your own patch made by your own hands, seek the sun that is inside your own heart, and never abandon your allies. That is the way to making your own Sun.”

Solaire grabbed the medallion on him before nodding to Solas. The boy then picked up his traveling bag. Swinging it over his shoulder, Solaire turned around determined to achieve his goal more than ever.

Solas then turned back to looking over the cliff, but now he had a new resolve. Even after his father exiled him, there are still people that believe in him, and he would never let them down.

End of Flashback:

The memory ended flashing through Solas’ mind as he looked at Brite again noticing the resemblance between him and his ancestor.

“You can say that your ancestor helped me in more ways than you can imagine.” the Sun’s First Born said.

“Wow.” Brite looked stunned.

“I guess there’s more to your ancestor than you originally thought.” Grey said.

“Grey.” Ahri said giving a deadpan look. “You’re covering your face again.”

“Oh, sorry.” The Abyss Watcher apologized before bringing down the neck of his shirt.

When Grey’s face was uncovered, Solas looked at him before leaning forward to get a better look at his features.

Grey moved back slightly confused. “Is… something wrong?” he asked.

Solas took another second to look at Grey before moving back. “No, it’s nothing.” He replied shaking his head. “It’s just… you looked a little familiar.” he said before thinking to himself. ‘other than his eyes, he almost looks exactly like… no, it can’t be. He never had any relatives as far as I know.’
