Ahri POV:

The day went on pretty uneventful, after sunset Garen and Katarina left saying they have a date, I got to hang out with Aki, Annie and Lux more and we're really becoming good friends.

Right now we're about done with dinner and Jarvan and Shyvana left a while ago, apparently being Prince means you got to wake up early.

Lux: sorry girls, but I have a match tomorrow morning, and I need to wake up early.

Annie: (yawn) yeah, and its my bedtime, Tibbers doesn't want me to skip it, sorry.

Ahri: it's ok, take care.

They left and me and Aki are the last to leave, but then Aki seemed to remember something.

Aki: oh right! Hey Ahri, you're first skin is coming out tomorrow.

Ahri: skin?

Aki: it's like a different costume for champions to wear in battle, it changes your clothes, hair and even skin color some time.

Ahri: wow! That's awesome, I'm so excited... but wait, what about Grey?

Aki: from what I heard, their making one for him but it should take a couple of days.

Ahri: that's great, i hope we get ones that go well with each other.

Aki: I'm not sure about that, but there are champions with skins that match, so it might happen.

I got a little hopeful after that, maybe if we get the same skin we can fight together... like a couple.

Ahri: thanks Aki, see you tomorrow.

Aki: y-yeah, good night.

I went into our room to sleep, I know it's a little early but still I got nothing better to do.

When I got to bed I saw the Grey plushy and snuggled to it while hugging it too.

Ahri: I really hope you come back soon.

I wonder how Grey is doing?

Grey POV:

I started regaining conciseness, the first thing I realized was... that my head hurts... A LOT.

My vision started coming back and I saw that I was in some kind of cave, I was at the side and there was campfire in the middle with some meat above it cooking, I looked outside and saw it was night time.

I got up and noticed that my sword and knife are beside me, I held my head trying to sooth the pain.

???: oh! Your awake.

I looked at the voice and saw a woman, she got inside the cave and now with the firelight I can see her features.

I have to admit that she was quite beautiful, she had brown skin, long black hair into a ponytail, a few white stripes on her face and body and emerald green eyes.

She wore clothes made of skinned animals and some fur, a necklace of animal fangs, a few more animal fangs strapped to her wist, in her right hand was a well handmade spear and in her left hand was a patch for water.

I was about to talk but stopped as my head started aching, she walked to the other side and got out a few plants, mixed them in a rock bowl and added water from her path then sat it down.

She walked up to me with the bowl and then offered it to me with a slight smile of apology.

???: I apologize for the poison, this should help with the headache.

I gave her a thankful nod and took the bowl, I started drinking and if it wasn't for my headache I would have spat it out, what ever she gave me was obviously not meant to be something to enjoy drinking.

After I am done I gave her back the bowl and then my head started feeling better, after a few seconds most of the pain was gone.

Grey: thank you.

???: your welcome, I am Nidalee, and you are.

Grey: Grey, Grey Ashnex.

Nidalee: well Grey, are you hungry.

She motioned to the meat that was just done cooking above the fire, and in truth I was quite vamished.

Grey: yes.

She took the meat and gave me half, she sat not too far away and started talking while we were eating.

Nidalee: so Grey, what were you doing wandering around? Not many travel through the Kumungu jungle... well not anyone who's sane.

Grey: I had a jop here.

Nidalee: really? What was the jop?

Grey: it was to look for someone.

I honestly think I already found them, she definitely looked like a warrior, well... now I have to see if she wants to join the Institute.

Nidalee: who are you looking for?

Grey: well... you apparently.

Nidalee: (frown) and why are you looking for me?

I saw that she was slowly reaching for her spear, she must think I'm here to hurt her.

Grey: to give you an invite to join the Institute of war.

Nidalee: the... Institute of war? Never heard of it.

Grey: well, I didn't used to know what it is either, so let me explain.

Nidalee POV:

Grey started telling me about the Institute, apparently it's a place where warriors fight to portect their home or their beliefs.

I have to admit it does sound like a good idea to join.

Nidalee: so if I join I can portect the jungle from invaders?

Grey: well yes.

Nidalee: why do you think that I'm who your looking for?

Grey: well, I am a champion, and you managed to knock me out, truth to be told if you wanted to I could be dead by now.

Well I did use poison but he's still right, and if I join I can portect the Kumungu from those Noxian idiots, but I can't leave the jungle now, not with what's going on... but maybe.

Nidalee: alright, but only if you help me with a problem of mine.

Grey: well I do owe you for not killing me, so why not, what can I help you with?

Nidalee: I'll show you tomorrow, for now you have to sleep off the rest of the poison effects.

Grey: I guess your right, you are the expert in this place.

I decided to have some fun.

Nidalee: or maybe, (scoot closer) I could help relieve your pain right now instead of sleeping.

I knew it was working from the massive blush that appeared on his face.

Grey: t-thanks, but I think sleeping will do it.

Nidalee: are you sure~?

Grey: y-yes.

Nidalee: (chuckle) ok.

I admit he is good looking and seeing him like this is quite adorable, but I'm going to wait before more teasing.

He laid down on the other side of the cave and started going to sleep, I followed his example, because I know tomorrow will be pretty tense.

Third POV:

Grey was woken up by Nidalee and he noticed that he doesn't feel any pain anymore.

Nidalee: come on, let's go.

Grey: oh... alright.

He got up, grabbed his sword and knife, pulled up his cloak to his face, checked his Estus Flask and then followed Nidalee.

They started traveling through the jungle and after a while Grey spoke.

Grey: so what do you need my help with?

Nidalee didn't answer, she reached a place that have been covered in giant leafs.

Nidalee: this.

Nidalee removed the leafs... and Grey's eyes widen, it was a clearing but it was full of dead animals and beasts, the signs of battle made it look like a war had happened here.

Grey: what... happened?

Nidalee: this is what I need your help with.

Grey walked in the middle and saw many type of animals, either smashed or stomped on.

Grey: what do you mean?

Nidalee: something has been going around the jungle killing anything in it's path, at first I thought it was Noxians... until I found an entire Noxus camp completely destroyed and everyone there slaughtered the same way.

Grey: do you know what it is?

Nidalee: (shakes head) no, only that it's big, strong and fast.

Grey looked around, for some reason the way those animals were killed looked... familiar, it's as if he seen it before.

He was taken out of his thoughts when he heard a small whimper, a cry of sorts, he looked at a tree trunk where the sound came from.

He approached it slowly, after removing the bushes that covered the trunk he found... a pup?

A small wolf pup of dark silver fur was hiding, curled up and shaking, the wolf's ears twitched and he looked to see Grey, it bared it's teeth growling trying to look threatening but it was obviously terrified.

Grey saw that it's leg was hurt and that it was obviously scared of him, he reached out his hand but the pup gave him a bite of warning.

Grey: easy, I'm not going to harm you.

Nidalee approached and saw the pup, she looked at Grey and then had a thought.

Nidalee: it must have survived the attack... (turns around) well let's keep going.

Grey: what!?! We're not going to help him?

Nidalee: nope.

Nidalee started walking away while Grey looked dumbfounded, he didn't expect her to just turn her back, but in truth she didn't, she wasn't going to leave the pup to die like this but she wanted to see what Grey would do.

True he looks like a good person and good looking too, but she still didn't completely trust him.

Grey: we can't leave him like this.

Nidalee: he'll just slow us down.

Grey: I don't care.

Nidalee stopped and looked back at Grey to see him kneeling back to the wolf.

Grey: hey little guy.

The wolf pup still was growling, Grey reached out his hand and the pup closed its eyes expecting pain... but it never came.

The only thing it felt was a hand smoothly rub it's head it opened its eyes and looked at Grey, it also noticed that Grey somewhat smelled like a wolf so the pup became less hostile.

Grey pulled his hand and brought both of his hands under the small pup lifting it up and pulling it out of the tree trunks.

Grey: looks like you're hurt, here have this.

Grey pulls out his Estus Flask and puts it near the pup's mouth, the pup was hesitant but eventually took a few lick.

Nidalee watched in awe as the little pup's body glowed slightly and then his wounds heald.

The pup smiled while panting with his tongue hanging and jumped on Grey's head nuzzling to it.

Grey: (laugh) I'm glad your okay.

The pup takes place on Grey's shoulder still smiling, Grey turns around and saw Nidalee smirking while leaning on her spear.

Grey: ...why are you-

Then it hit him, it hit him hard.

Grey: ... this... was a test wasn't it?

Nidalee: yup.

Grey: (sigh) why?

Nidalee: because I wanted to see of I can trust you, no offense But we did just meet last night.

Grey: you... have a point.

Nidalee: beside, did you really think I would leave such a cute thing.

Nidalee walks up to him and start scratching the chin of the little pup, it start leaning to the touch while it's tail started swinging.

Nidalee: now let's keep looking, the tracks lead south.

Grey nods and they start traveling with the little pup still on Grey's shoulder.

Ahri POV:

Today... is not a good day for me.

After I woke up I saw that I have a match before noon, I wanted to use my new skin but Aki told me it'll be out in the afternoon.

Then I had to have breakfast alone since I couldn't find anyone to sit with before the match.

I was kind of sad that Grey wasn't there to watch my match... but now I am very glad.

The match was terrible, we were losing hard. . . I blame the summoners for being lousy.

Right now I was fighting a guy Grey fought with before, I think his name is Azir.

I was jumping around trying to strike him at least with one orb of deception, but those damned sand soldiers aren't making it easy.

I was finally getting a good shoot when.

Announcer: VICTORY, blue team.

I looked around and sighed, after I'm out of the rift I head to the dinning hall and find Aki, Ezreal and Lux so I sit with them, I immediately planted my head in the table.

Lux: hey Ahri... that match was goo-

Ahri: I swear if you complete that sentence I will make you pay.

You know what's the worst part of today is? Grey still isn't back!

Aki: you don't look so happy.

Ahri: you think?

Ezreal: Lux told me where Grey is, is that why you're upset.

Ahri: that's half of it.

Aki: hey I know what would cheer you up, your new skin.

Ahri: it's done?!

Aki: yeah, let's go to your room to try it.

We got up but Lux stops Ezreal.

Lux: sorry it's a girls thing.

Ezreal: what?

Lux: just wait for us.

Me, Aki and Lux make it to mine and Grey's room.

Ahri: so what do I do?

Aki: just stand still for a second.

Aki starts making a few motions with her hands and I'm covered in light, after a few seconds the light goes down and Aki and Lux look at me with a smile.

Ahri: so? How does it look?

Lux: I think it suits you.

I go to the bedroom and look in the mirror there, I admit it does look cute.

My hair now is platinum blonde and is tied into a bun, my usual red kimono is now white with a dark red puffy skirt and there is a jade butterfly clip on the skirt.

Ahri: not bad, not as good as I usually look, but still pretty good.

Aki: now you can use it in matches.

Ahri: I wonder if Grey is going to like it?

Lux: are you kidding? He'll love it.

Ahri: "She maybe is right, and since Grey promised to spend some time with me... (blush slightly) maybe I can wear it and we can go on a date, I mean it is just us most of the time".

Third POV:

Grey and Nidalee with the wolf pup still on Grey's shoulder were traveling for several hours, the tracks led them to a big clearing surrounded by trees with the sunlight shinning down on them.

Nidalee stopped and crouched down while Grey stopped by her side both him and the pup looking at her.

Grey: what's up?

Nidalee: the tracks, they stop here, witch means one of two things, one it grew wings and flew away, or two-

Grey: it's here.

Nidalee readies her spear and Grey pulls out his sword and puts the wolf pup on the ground before grabbing his knife.

Grey: go find somewhere to hide.

The pup barks in response and immediately go to hide somewhere, Grey and Nidalee start looking around.

Suddenly, black fog appears behind them, they turn around and see a large amount of it.

Grey: I've seen this before, it is not good.

Then stomping noises were heard, and then a figure came out of the fog.

It was big, real big, it had a knight like white armor that gave off frost, the helmet had two holes for the eyes and had a pointy chin.

It was walking on all four and had a giant mase with it, it stopped and planted it's mace on the ground, then it raised its head making a sound that seemed like both a screech and a howl.

Grey: the Vile watchdog! what's it doing here?

Nidalee: what is that?

Grey: the Vordt of the boreal valley.

The Vordt dashed forward swinging it's mace down, Nidalee jumped away while Grey rolled under the attack ending below it.

Grey strike with his sword twice and the vordt raised it's mace to strike him down, Grey rolled out of the way and after the Vordt attacked, Nidalee took her chance to strike.

She threw her spear witch implanted itself in the Vordt's shoulder, she jumped in and held her spear and ripped it out, the Vordt brought it's mace to sweep her away but she jumped back.

Grey came in from behind and struck it's legs, the Vordt turned around and struck with his mace but Grey managed to get away from it.

Nidalee jumped in an Grey's eyes widen as he saw her transform into a cougar, he would have questioned it if they weren't in danger, but he just let it go for now.

Nidalee in her cougar form landed on the Vordt's face and made a strong strike with her claws, the Vordt started trying to shake her off.

Nidalee jumped away only for Grey to come in and strike it's face with his sword, he anchored his knife in the ground using it to make another swing that struck hard.

The Vordt recoiled back and went slim for a second, Nidalee transformed back to human and stood besides Grey.

Nidalee: did we beat it?

Grey: no... we just pissed it off.

The Vordt stood up again but this time it's eyes were glowing, it made a screech and a roar like sound and then started swinging it's mace wildly.

Grey and Nidalee were able to dodge, the Vordt then looked at Grey and charged forward, Grey dodged and the Vordt ended up crushing down a few trees.

It turned around and started inhaling air, Nidalee was about to attack but was stopped by Grey.

Grey: no, I know that move, we need to get away from it.

Nidalee nodded and they both moved away from it, the Vordt then spat out frost from its mouth almost reaching them.

After it was done, it charged at them again with both of them jumping in the same way.

The Vordt turned around bringing it's mace, Nidalee wasn't fast enough and she could only watch as the mace was coming to her.

She closed her eyes waiting for the pain... but it never came.

The only thing she felt was someone pushing her out of the way then she heard a sickening crack.

She looked and saw that Grey pushed her and took the hit by using his left arm to block it, he flew and crashed into a tree.

Nidalee: GREY!

She immediately jumped and moved to his side while hiding from the Vordt, it started looking around while still swinging it's mace wildly.

She reached him and saw he was standing up while using his sword in his right hand for support, but his left arm was now dangling and went limp, he also dropped his knife.

Nidalee: are you alright?

Grey: no, (grunt) it almost completely shattered my arm.

Nidalee: we need to leave.

Grey: it doesn't matter, now that it's on a rampage it might destroy half the jungle.

Nidalee: well what do we do?

Grey was in thought but then he heard the sound of running water, he looked and saw a spring running to a cliff making a water fall.

Grey: I... think I have a plan.

Nidalee: are you crazy! You can't fight like this.

Grey: I don't care.

Nidalee was dumbfounded as Grey pulled his sword and held it in his good arm and having it rest on his shoulder.

Grey: listen, I need you to lure it to that cliff.

Nidalee: ... your plan better work.

Grey nods and moves to the cliff, Nidalee looks at him go and smirks.

Nidalee: he's definitely something isn't he?

She looks back to the Vordt as it was still looking for them, she took a deep breath and jumped in it's line of view.

Nidalee: over here you ugly mutt!

The vordt looked at her direction and tried to smash her with its mase, she jumped away and started making her way into the cliff.

The Vordt followed her and once they were near it the Vordt was ready to charge at her again but then.

Grey: HEY!

He stopped chasing her and looked at Grey, Nidalee hid in the bushes and saw Grey standing at the edge of the cliff with his left arm still dangling.

Grey pointed his sword at the Vordt before speaking.

Grey: this reminds me of the first time I met you, if I remember correctly I beated you in a duel after that, the only difference between now and then... is that I have my arm broken.

Nidalee didn't completely understand but it was obvious that the Vordt was enraged.

It gave a big roar with its body giving off more frost, The Vordt then charged at Grey.

Grey just stood there witch worried Nidalee very much, when the Vordt reached the edge it jumped planning to slam it's body on Grey... only it didn't work.

At the very last second Grey jumped and rolled right under the Vordt's tackle making it fall over the cliff.

The Vordt turned around midair and slammed the ground on it's back, heavily damaged but still alive, Nidalee was amazed thinking it was Grey's plan.

... until she saw him run to the edge and jumped, she looked completely shocked and her eyes widen, she ran to the edge to see what happened.

The Vordt was slightly moving still alive, but then Grey dropped in stabbing his sword in it's chest with his left hand still dangling, he pulled halfway through and drove his sword deeper.

The Vordt made a loud roar of pain and then it's body started vanishing, Grey pulled his sword and jumped off of it seeing it completely vanish but it's mace was still there.

He pulled out his Estus Flask and had to drink it completely to heal his wounds, after he checked his arm he saw Nidalee coming down from the top of the cliff with the wolf pup in her hands.

Nidalee landed and put the pup down with both of them going to Grey.

Nidalee: (angry yelling) what the hell was that?

Grey: my plan.

Nidalee: what kind of plan was that? You could have died.

Grey: it worked didn't it?

Grey saw the pup walk up to him with his knife in it's mouth, he knelt down and took it from him.

Grey: did you get this for me? Good boy.

Grey rubbed it's head and the pup barked smiling with satisfaction of being praised, Nidalee took a deep breath and calmed down.

Nidalee: well... you did help me, so I'll hold my end of the deal and come with you to the Institute.

Grey: yeah... we did it... we... killed the Vordt... of the boreal valley............ Boy when the Dancer finds out she is definitely coming for my head.

(A/N I just saw that my story has more than 2K views, I want to thank every and each one of you for viewing my story and supporting me to this point, also did anyone notice that the fighting scene looked familiar, Grey told he's wolf to hide while he fights the monster, in the middle of the fight he had his arm broken but still kept on fighting and also the whole jumping down while stabbing a monster)
