Abyss Watcher In The League V2 - 44 CH43

‘So my sister is here… and she wants to join… that’s not going to end well for me’ those were the thoughts that Grey was thinking at the moment. ‘This just promises headaches upon headaches.’

Right now, the Abyss Watcher was standing near the gates of the High Summoners chamber. Standing beside him was Ahri and Brite.

“Worried about your sister?” Ahri asked breaking the silence they had since the high summoners told them to go out.

Grey nodded. “Yes, but not because of the Judgment, I know for a fact that Tiara can beat it. It’s just that she can be a little…” he trailed off looking for the right word.

“Arrogant?” Brite suggested.

“Rude?” Ahri suggested. She was still a little bitter about Tiara’s attitude.

“I was going to say overconfident, but I guess yours work, too,” The Abyss Watcher replied shrugging his shoulders. He knew his sister can do better in the attitude department.

The gates to the High Summoners Chamber open and from the inside comes Kayle. The Righteous entered when they came out because the High Summoners weren’t sure that Tiara will behave.

The first thing Grey noticed was that she didn’t have her helmet on, the second thing was that she’s mad. “Kayle, what’s wro-”

“I truly thought that I would never meet a sibling as black-hearted as my sister, but I was proven wrong,” the angel said before looking directly at the Abyss Watcher. “Now I know why you and I got along so well. Grey, with all due respect, your sister might be as cruel, if not more than mine.”

“You have a sister?” Ahri and Brite asked hearing that information for the first.

Grey, while curious about Kayle having a sibling, was more worried about what his own did. “What did she do?” he sighed.

“When she saw me, she said ‘I thought angels are supposed to be fat, wear golden armor and throw axes around,’” Kayle replied. Grey recognized the description of the guards of Lothric castle. The Righteous then put her hands on her hips. “Then she said that I’m only missing the axes, that I already have the golden armor, wings, AND being fat.”

The Abyss Watcher sighed at his sister’s actions. He was about to apologize, but Brite spoke before him. “Well, to be honest, you don’t look like you’re following any diet.”

Not a second after the Silver Knight said that and he was immediately sent to the wall by a blast of golden light.

Grey looked at Brite, who started slowly sliding down the wall while groaning in pain. The Lord of Cinder then looked back at Kayle. “I’m really sorry for what my sister said,” he apologized and looked again at the Silver Knight. “And Brite… well, he deserved it.”

Kayle sighed. She knew that Tiara’s attitude shouldn’t make the angel take it out on Grey. “Just keep her in line.”

The Righteous walked away while Ahri and Grey went to check on the Silver Knight. “Didn’t you learn to never talk to a woman about her weight?” Grey asked.

Brite groaned in response, “Oh, merciful sun.”

“Get up, you know a healing miracle, don’t you? So pray it off,” Grey said as he turned his attention back to the Chamber gates.

Meanwhile, Ahri was giggling to herself. She found the friendship between the Abyss Watcher and Silver Knight quite humorous.

While all this was happening. Tiara was having her Judgment with the High Summoners. The Dancer had already begun her test.

Inside the Judgment:

Tiara opened her eyes to find herself in a rather fancy looking room. She was sitting on a chair that had red leather with a bright silver structure.

There was other furniture in the room with the same design as the chair. On the walls were paintings of people wearing royal clothes.

Tiara groaned. “Great, I’m back here,” she grumbled as suddenly people came in. Men and women, all wearing royal clothes.

“You don’t belong here!” “Such a disgrace!” “Why did you bother being born?!” insults such as these were being yelled.

Meanwhile, Tiara just sat where she was, taking in the yelling. Normally, she would have thrashed at them and covered this entire room in blood.

However, her attention was on something else. In a table near the chair she was sitting on was a glass vase. In it were bright red roses.

‘Roses… like his garden,’ she thought to herself. then turned her attention to the people in front of her.

“We should have killed you instead of kicking you out!” the last yelled before they all started glaring at her.

“Are you done?” Tiara asked unaffected by the insults. “You expect me to be hurt? Sorry, fools, but you are not my family and you’ve never been. My family is my brother Grey and my father Ghear. And honestly, I don’t care at all what you idiots think, and I stopped caring a long, LONG, time ago,” she then gave them a glare of her own. “Now, get out of my sight!”

Suddenly, they vanished like dust. Tiara stood up and walked towards the roses looking at them.

“I’m like that old man more than I’d like to admit,” she mumbled to herself as everything around her started fading away.

Outside the Judgment:

Tiara opened her eyes to find herself in the High Summoners chamber. She shook her head out of the dizziness that she just experienced.

“You have passed… surprisingly,” the Noxian summoner grumbled still mad about her… introduction earlier.

“Yeah, yeah. I’m leaving,” Tiara replied as she turned around and started walking away.

“But your title-”

“My title is the Dancer of the Boreal Valley,” Tiara cut him off. “that’s the title Sulyvahn gave me, and if you idiots think for a second that I’ll replace it with anything you have then you are more delusional than I thought.”

With that, she took her leave and found her brother along with Brite and Ahri waiting for her outside.

The Dancer was now curious about Ahri’s presence. She understood Brite being here, but Ahri had no reason to be.

“How did it go?” Grey asked before adding, “You didn’t kill anyone, right?” he asked.

Tiara rolled her eyes. Back in their world, it didn’t really matter who she killed, but apparently Grey wanted to preserve the peaceful nature of this. Truthfully, she agreed.

“No, I didn’t kill anyone, and I passed,” she replied to her brother’s question. She then started massaging her forehead. “Although, I might need a drink,” she added remembering the dizziness she felt a second ago.

“Don’t bother,” Grey said making his sister look at him confused. “All the drinks here are pathetically weak.”

“Please tell me that there’s at least one good thing to drink,” Tiara almost begged but only received shake in the head from her brother.

“He’s right, it’s like drinking orange juice,” Brite added his own opinion.

The Dancer groaned in annoyance. “Great, the people here aren’t just weirdos, they’re also lightweights.”

“It’s not that bad,” Grey said shrugging before they started walking towards the dining hall.

“Highly doubtful,” his sister remarked as they walked back towards where the others were.

They found Solas, Ezreal, Lux, Garen, Katarina, Nidalee, Sona, and Aki who just joined them sitting in two tables beside each other.

“Hey, Ahri. Sorry I wasn’t around this morning,” The Shy summoner apologized for her earlier absence.

“It’s okay, you had your reasons,” The Fox Vastayan replied sitting beside her friend.

Aki then noticed the new arrival, “Uhmm… w-who are you?” she asked in her usual shy manner.

“The newest champion,” Tiara replied and glared at the summoner, who started shaking. “Now, who are YOU supposed to be?”

Aki was too nervous to answer, Ahri was about to stand up for her but Brite beat her to the punch. “Hey, leave her alone. She didn’t do anything.”

The Dancer started glaring at the Silver Knight who glared right back. Their staring contest was broken by someone’s shouting, “Hey, Grey, Ahri.”

The two of them looked back to see Annie walk up to them. The Dark child took a seat from another table and put it between Ahri and Grey before sitting on it.

“Hi, Annie. Good to see you,” the fox Vastaya greeted accepting a quick hug from the Pyromancer.

“How are you doing these days? Is Tibbers taking care of you?” the Abyss Watcher asked receiving a nod.

“Yup, as long as I have Tibbers, I’m not afraid of anything,” Annie replied raising her bear that glowed slightly in response.

“Uhmm… excuse me, Grey, but who is this?” Solas asked never meeting Annie before.

Tiara was also wondering who she was, but more importantly, what was a child doing in a place meant for battle.

“This is Annie, the Dark Child, a champion,” Grey said surprising the two. “She’s also a Pyromancer.”

If Tiara and Solas didn’t look surprised before, then they definitely did now. “Really? At that age?” the First Born noted.

“Yes, and a very powerful one, too,” The Abyss Watcher added ruffling Annie’s hair making her giggle. “In fact, I don’t doubt that when Annie gets older, she’ll give the Witch of Izalith herself a run for her money.”

Solas couldn’t help but show how impressed he was. Meanwhile, Annie had her attention on Tiara.

“Who are you, lady?” Annie asked curiously.

Meanwhile, everyone but Grey tensed. Ahri created an Orb of deception Deception between her tails. She might have stayed peaceful for now, but if Tiara even as much as tries to insult the young Pyromancer, then Tibbers will be the least of her problems.

“I’m Grey’s sister, Tiara. Nice to meet you, Annie,” the Dancer replied in a kind tone that forced everyone but Grey to double take. “So you’re a Pyromancer? Can you do this?” Tiara raised her left hand and, to everyone’s surprise, flames started appearing.

“Wow! You’re like me,” Annie said raising her own hand and creating her own flames.

“Kinda, but I only know a few tricks,” Tiara said before seeing everyone but Grey giving her a surprised look. “What?” she asked harshly.

“Nothing,” Solas shook his head his expression not changing. “It’s just… we didn’t expect you to…” he trailed off looking for the right word.

“Be good with kids?” Tiara guessed.

“I was going to say show kindness, in general, but I guess yours work, too,” Solas said earning a glare from the Dancer.

“How come you can do that?” Nidalee asked motioning to Tiara’s hand.

The Dancer waved her wrist turning the flames off before answering, “When we were training with Ghear, we learned that most beasts have a natural fear of fire, so I decided to learn some Pyromancy to help fight them off.”

The huntress had to hand it to Tiara. She herself had learned after many years in the jungle that most, if not all, beasts have a natural fear of flames.

Ezreal then noticed something familiar about the Dancer’s armor. “You know… you kind of look like that Outrider Knight me and Grey fought before.”

Tiara’s eyes were immediately on Ezreal. “Wait, what?! An Outrider Knight was here?!” she asked shocked.

“Yeah, me and Grey beat it and got an Irithyll long sword,” Ezreal said. Suddenly Tiara grabbed him by the neck.

“The sword, where is it?” she asked threatening while putting pressure on the Explorer’s neck.

Ezreal started frantically searching for something behind him before he grabbed a long object covered in cloth and gave it to Tiara.

The Dancer took the cloth after letting go of Ezreal. She unwrapped it and found the Irithyll long sword inside.

“How did you get this?” Tiara asked glaring at the Explorer. “This weapon is the propriety of the Boreal Valley, how did YOU get it?”

Ezreal, fearing to be chocked to death, answered truthfully. “Grey let me keep it after we killed that Outrider Knight.”

Tiara immediately glared at her brother, who just looked away. She then grabbed the long sword by the blade and swung it striking Grey’s head with the handle. Annie giggled at the display.

“What were you thinking giving a weapon from Irithyll to some idiot with the ugliest haircut I have ever seen!?” Tiara asked outraged.

“Hey! My haircut is fine!” Ezreal retorted fixing his hair.

“Keep telling yourself that,” Tiara replied completely unconvinced.

“Wait, you’re an Outrider Knight?” Solas asked realizing that now.

“Yeah, so?” Tiara asked.

“From what I heard, Outrider Knights are supposed to be wild like animals, attacking anything without emotions, so how are you… well, sane?” Solas asked remembering what he heard about Sulyvahn’s gift.

Tiara rolled her eyes but decided that there’s no reason not to answer. “Because, unlike the other Outrider Knights, I wasn’t stupid enough to put Sulyvahn’s eyes in my skull.”

The Dancer then grabbed her right hand and removed the gauntlet there showing two rings. Both rings had a pale black, pupil-like gem.

“Instead, I turned his eyes into rings,” she continued before showing her rings before putting back her gauntlet. “One helps me heal, and the other helps my strength.”

“How she is the only Outrider Knight to think of doing that is beyond me,” Brite said scratching his head.

Sona then turned to Grey and started making signs, [Your sister seems nothing like you, just saying.]

Before Grey can say anything, Tiara replied. “And who exactly asked for your opinion, Blueberry?”

The Maven looked at Tiara surprised before she gave her a deadpan look, [First, your hair is almost the same color as mine. Second, you can understand sign language?]

Tiara scoffed. “Who do you think taught it to Grey?” she asked crossing her arms. “After Prince Lorian lost his voice, practically everyone in Lothric castle had to learn it.”

“Speaking of, How’s prince Lothric?” Grey asked. He knew that Lorian stopped his brother from being crucified, but he didn’t know how that ended.

“Boy, do I have good news for you,” Tiara laughed. “Apparently, Lorian and Lothric turned on Oceiros and locked him up in his ‘precious’ garden.”

“Yes!” both Brite and Grey cheered surprising everyone around.

“Finally!” the Silver Knight sighed relaxing in his chair.

“About time that dragon obsessed fool got locked up,” Grey added relaxing in his own chair.

“You’re talking about king Oceiros of Lothric, right?” Solas asked earning a nod from the two undead. “Then why are you glad he is locked up?”

“Because Oceiros is a dragon obsessed fool,” Grey replied before he explained further. “That lunatic tried to restart Seath’s research.”

“He did WHAT?!?!” Solas asked outraged. He saw what the Pale Drake did in his experiments, and it was not pretty.

“Thankfully, he didn’t get far in the research,” Brite added, somewhat calming Solas down. “However, he did manage to find the Holy Moonlight Great-sword.”

Solas sighed and started rubbing his forehead. “Great, one of the strongest magical weapons is in the hands of a fan of Seath’s work.”

“It could be worse,” Grey said shrugging his shoulders. “He could’ve actually completed Seath’s search on the dragons’ immortality.”

Everyone else just sat silently and watched the four undead talking. They didn’t understand some of what they were talking about, but they were able to understand most of it.

Time skip: (Brought to you by chibi Tiara and chibi Grey sitting in a garden full of roses.)

It was now evening. Walking through the hallway was Ahri, Aki, Grey, Brite, and Tiara. Everyone else went to their room with Nidalee taking Annie with her.

Aki was leading them to Tiara’s room and while walking, the Dancer remembered something. “Oh, right! Grey, did you hear anything about Vordt?” she asked making the Abyss Watcher stop in his tracks. “Since he vanished, I thought he ended up here.”

They all stopped when they noticed that the Lord of Cinder had stopped walking and started scratching his head nervously. “Yeah… about the Vile Watchdog… you see-”

“Grey killed him,” Brite bluntly stated earning a glare from the Abyss Watcher.

“You son of a-”

“You… killed Vordt?” Tiara asked to make sure and Grey nervously nodded. The Dancer then shrugged her shoulders, “Okay.”

Grey looked at his sister surprised. “You’re… not mad?”

“Of course I’m not mad,” Tiara chuckled but then grabbed Grey by his throat and glared at him. “I’M F*CKING FURIOUS!” Grey was ready to try and escape, but then his sister smirked and let him go. “But! I know nothing I do to you will be compared to what Pontiff Sulyvahn does when I tell him.”

That statement alone was enough to drain all colors from Grey’s face. “I… didn’t even think about that,” he said scratching his head. “He already doesn’t like me.”

“That man seriously scares me,” Brite mumbled as they returned to looking for Tiara’s room.

They reached a door with a plate that says <The Dancer Of The Boreal Valley.> and Aki opened the door.

“Here you go,” the Shy summoner said as she immediately got out of Tiara’s way when she got in.

The Outrider Knight looked around the living room before shrugging her shoulders. “Not bad, could be better, though.”

“Just be happy with what you have,” Grey said as he got inside as well.

“Well, I’ll be going then,” Brite said as he turned to leave. “Good night.”

“I-I should probably go, too. Bey,” Aki said leaving. She was still a little scared of Tiara.

“It is getting a little late,” Ahri noted before turning to the door. “Let’s go, Grey.”

Tiara glared suspiciously at the nine tailed Vastayan. She was about to ask why her brother had to go with her, but before she voices her thoughts, Grey spoke. “Actually, can you go without me. I need to talk a few things with my sister.”

Ahri looked at Grey curiously before shrugging her shoulders and leaving while closing the door.

Tiara rolled her eyes before sitting on the couch and looking at her brother. “So, what exactly happened with Vordt?”

“He was corrupted by the Abyss,” Grey replied.

“That explains why you had to kill him,” Tiara mumbled shaking her head. “What stage was he at?” she asked.

Grey knew what she meant. The Abyss’ corruption had three stages. 1: the madness, which is what happened to the Abyss Watchers. 2: the Dark Beast, meaning that a creature of the Abyss lives inside a host. And 3: the mutation, which is what happened to Vordt.

“Stage three,” the Lord of Cinder replied. “He looked like a huge brute, but that’s the only difference,” he then looked at his sister. “His rose is in the garden. I can take you there if you want, and I also have his mace if you want it.”

“I’ll think about going to the garden, and about the mace, you can keep it. It’s too bulky for my taste.” his sister replied with a wave of her hand.

“Alright,” Grey then turned to the door. “See you tomorrow.”

“Grey?” Tiara said making him stop. “Can I ask, what is Ahri to you?”

The Abyss Watcher understood the question and saw no reason to beat around the bush. “She’s someone I care for on levels I don’t understand.”

Having been Grey’s sister for over a century, her eyes widen understanding what he meant.

Grey… loved Ahri, but he didn’t what kind of love it was. She honestly couldn’t blame him. After all, both he and she only experienced a little family love only, no other kind.

The Abyss Watcher continued his way and reached the door. “Grey!” he stopped when he heard his sister again. “I’m glad you’re safe.”

Grey turned to look at his sister and smiled. “And I’m glad you’re here.”

With that, the Abyss Watcher left and Tiara was on her own. The Dancer started chuckling. “I guess the only way for my brother to fall in love is to end up in a different world.”
