Jarvan IV POV:

Me and Shyvana are with my father taking care of a few problems with farmers from borders.

Xin Zhao was at my father's side like always, he spends less time in the Institute than us mainly for matches but he's loyal and that's something to respect.

Xin Zhao was a man in his early thirties, had white clothing, a staff and neatly combed black hair into a ponytail.

My father was talking to one of the guards right now with both me and Shyvana at his right.

Jarvan III: and thanks to winning in the Institute those farms are ours, so merly go there and help the farmers without needing to resort to violence, am I clear.

Guard: yes your majesty.

My father was always someone who wanted peace, he was overjoyed when the Institute was created, he never even actually hated Noxus, he was just protecting Demacia.

Jarvan III: I am glad that's settled, now how is your life in the Institute my son?

Jarvan IV: it's quite wonderful father.

Jarvan III: you seem quite happy, did something well happen?

Jarvan IV: yes, there is this new champion that proved to be a good warrior in both skills and heart, I have spoken to him and he truly appears to want to help anyone in need no matter what nation they belong to.

In the corner of my eye I saw Shyvana make a small smile realizing who I was speaking of.

Jarvan III: really? I have to admit that is something to be happy about, tell me who is that warrior.

Jarvan IV: well his name is-

Guard: (kicks door) YOUR MAJESTY!

we looked at the running guard that just ran inside, the door closed behind him and he ran and stopped in front of us.

Jarvan III: what's wrong?

Guard: (pant) there are people trying to break into the castle.

Jarvan III: what!?!

Xin Zhao: are they Noxians?

Guard: I don't know, but not likely.

Jarvan IV: where are they now?

Guard: their-

He was cut off by another guard, however this one came flying through the door and fell unconscious.

The guards in the room along with me, Shyvana and Xin Zhao got into battle stance while moving in front of my father to portect him.

Two figures emerged from the door, all guards immediately pointed their weapons at them along with Xin Zhao, meanwhile Shyvana set her hands on fire and I readied my spear to attack... Wait a second... is that?

Before any of the guards did anything I immediately spoke up.

Jarvan IV: STOP!... Grey?

Grey: ah... hello prince Jarvan.

It really was Grey, he had his sword and knife in his hands and a big mace on his back, and besides him was a woman I never saw before.

Grey: uhmm... do you mind helping me with this... misunderstanding, I assure you there is a reasonable explanation.

Jarvan IV: (sigh and looks at guards) put down your weapons.

Guard: but sir-

Jarvan IV: now!

The guards immediately follows the order, Shyvana relaxed when she recognized Grey as well but Xin Zhao was still on slight guard.

I approached Grey with Shyvana as he put his weapons away, the woman like Xin Zhao was still on guard.

Jarvan IV: what are you doing here?

Grey: I came to meet you.

Shyvana: well why didn't you just ask instead of breaking in?

Grey: we did... but then the guards told us to beat it and one of them made my friend feel... unpleasant, she didn't take it well.

Nidalee: it's not my fault he was more bark than bite, I won't be surprised if he never finds a mate.

Both me and Shyvana sighed, for some reason we both knew who he was talking about, I turned my attention to the captain of the guards.

Jarvan IV: captain!

Captain: Sir!

Jarvan IV: go find Tom and Phill... and fire them in the most humiliating way possible.

Captain: yes your highness.

The captain left to follow my orders and Grey turned to me.

Grey: isn't that a little... extreme?

Shyvana: no it isn't.

Jarvan IV: to be honest I never liked them, in fact I've been looking for a reason to fire them for a while and I got to thank you because you just gave me one.

Grey: uhmm... your welcome?

Jarvan III: do you know this person my son?

I turned around and saw my father approach with Xin Zhao at his side.

Jarvan IV: yes father, this is the champion I told you about, Grey this is my father.

Jarvan III: ah your the new champion my son has spoken of, I am King Jarvan Lightshield III.

Grey: (bow) it's an honor to meet you your majesty.

The woman besides Grey looked uninterested, Grey gave her a nudge and she bowed too.

Jarvan IV: now what are you doing here?

Grey: I just finished my mission, and the closest transport station was either here or in Noxus, my friend didn't like the idea of going there so we came here.

Shyvana: makes sense.

Jarvan IV: yes, I assume she's the person you were sent to bring back.

Grey: yes, her name is Nidalee.

Jarvan IV: well then, (looks at Jarvan III) father can you excuse me for a few moments to help my friend reach the transport station, going with him will assure that another... misunderstanding doesn't happen.

Jarvan III: hmmm... very well, I can't really have him going around beating up my guards.

Grey: I apologize for that.

Jarvan III: at least It was sorted out.

Jarvan IV: alright, follow me.

Grey nods and me and Shyvana starts leading them to the transport station, after a few minutes of walking... and seeing guards on the floor unconscious... these are royal guards, how strong is he to almost break into my family's castle?

Shyvana: you really went all out didn't you?

Grey: sorry.

Jarvan IV: how did you do it anyway?

Grey: I've done worst, I once broke into a castle guarded by axe throwing angel winged golden fat armors, I really hate those.

Jarvan IV/Shyvana/Nidalee: what!?!

Grey: just go with it.

We left it at that, we entered the transport station and saw the summoner.

Summoner: ah prince Jarvan, it's a pleasure to see you again, going back to the Institute?

Jarvan IV: not this time.

Grey: I'm the one going there, and she's going with me.

Summoner: ah the new champion, is she a guest.

Grey: no, but the high summoners wanted to see her.

Summoner: that's all I needed to hear, get in the circle please.

Grey nods and both him and Nidalee get into the circle, after a few seconds and some light they both vanished.

Me and Shyvana left the transport station and talked on the way back.

Jarvan IV: she looked like quite the warrior.

Shyvana: yes... but Ahri obviously won't be happy.

Jarvan IV: (sigh) true, I just hope he makes it out alive... or undead, I never know with Grey.

Third POV:

Ahri was sitting with Ezreal, Lux, Aki and Annie, it was a little after sunset and she was a little depressed.

Annie was talking to Tibbers, Lux and Ezreal were talking to each other and Aki was trying to cheer up Ahri who had her head on the table with her arms around it.

Aki: come on Ahri, cheer up.

Ahri: (groan) is he back yet?

Aki: n-no, sorry.

Ahri sighed and Ezreal and Lux turned their attention to her while Annie still didn't pay attention.

Ezreal: come on, I bet he'll be back soon.

Ahri: (raises head) but what if something bad happened to him? What if he got hurt? Or kidnapped? What if-

Lux: calm down, it's not necessary for it to be bad because he's late, maybe he's helping someone, or bringing down a kitten from a tree or... or... (whisper) Ezreal, please help me out here.

Ezreal: (eyes widen) or he can be with a hot half-naked chick.

Ahri: (frown) your not really helping Ezreal.

Ezreal just raised his hand and pointed at the entrance, everyone looked and their eyes widen with Ahri's also twitching.

Grey just entered with a woman that fit Ezreal's description, they started making their way to the high summoners while Grey didn't notice them.

They made it to the gates while Ahri's shocked expression turned into an angry one, the others started to worry when some of her tails started rattling.

Aki: u-uhmmm, A-Ahri are you okay?

Ahri: (grit teeth) I'm fine.

Lux: well... the table definitely isn't.

Ahri got confused, she looked down and realized that she's been using her nails to claw the table from anger, she took back her hand but still had an angry expression.

Grey reached the high summoners with Nidalee and entered, once inside, the high summoners turned their attention to them.

Summoner2: welcome back Abyss watcher.

Summoner4: I assume your mission was a success?

Grey: yes, (motione to Nidalee) this is Nidalee, I believe she's the one worthy to be a champion.

Nidalee moved forward and stood in front of the high summoners.

Summoner1: greetings, I assume you were informed of why you are here.

Nidalee: yes.

Summoner3: so are you willing to become a champion?

Nidalee: I am, however I want you to assure me now that I joined the Institute you will keep the jungle safe from invaders.

The high summoners began taking among themselves but all fell silent when the grand summoner raised his hand, he started stroking his beard and then spoke.

Grand summoner: very well, we will make sure no nation take lands from the Kumungu jungle, however we will allow people to travel through it.

Nidalee: good enough.

Summoner1: very well, you're judgment will have to wait for a while, we are busy now, you can stay in the Institute until then.

Nidalee nods and both her and Grey leave, once their out they saw Kayle coming back.

Grey: hello Kayle.

Kayle: hello Grey, welcome back, was your mission a success?

Grey: yes, and have you seen my friends? I would like to see them.

Kayle: I saw them In the dinning hall.

Grey: thank you.

They started making their way towards the dinning hall.

Nidalee: so tell me about those friends of your's.

Grey: you're going to like them, trust me.

They entered the dining hall and Grey spotted his friends, he made their way towards them and they all looked at him and Nidalee.

Ahri: hey Grey, welcome back.

Grey: hi Ahri, it's great to see you again.

Ahri: yeah... so... who's your friend?

Grey: this is Nidalee.

Nidalee: it's good to meet you.

Ahri: yeah, sure.

They sit down and Ezreal and Lux noticed two things.

Ezreal: hey Grey, what's with the mace.

Grey: a souvenir, boy do I have a story for you guys.

Lux: okay, but what's that moving in your shoulder.

Grey: oh right!

Grey pulled out something from his shoulder, he sat it on the table and all of them saw... a fur ball?

Grey: it's okay, their friends.

Then ears appeared out of the fur ball, Silver then appeared after spreading wide and looked at everyone in a cute wondrous expression.

Ezreal: awwwe, aren't you cu-

He was cut off when Ahri, Annie, Aki and Lux made a girly scream and immediately surrounded Silver, Lux even ended up pushing Grey off his seat.

Lux: oh my God! It's adorable.

Ahri: where did you find him?

Aki: are you going to keep him?

Annie: what's his name?

Ezreal looked at the girls, shocked by their reaction, while Nidalee helped Grey back up.

Grey: (grunt) thanks, and yes I'm going to keep him, his name is Silver.

Lux: if he gets any cuter I think I'll faint.

Silver started itching his snout with his paws and made a cute little sneeze, the girls coed... and Lux actually fainted.

Grey and Nidalee looked at her with Ezreal going and picking her up.

Grey: is... she going to okay?

Ezreal: yeah, (sigh) the worst part is that this isn't the first time it happened, I'll take her to Garen he'll know what to do, also I want to hear that story you mentioned.

Grey: sure thing.

Ezreal left taking Lux to her brother, Grey looked at the girls while they still played with Silver, he sat down with Nidalee doing the same besides him.

After a while Kayle showed up.

Kayle: hello, I'm here to take Nidalee to her judgment.

Nidalee: very well.

Nidalee stood up and followed Kayle.

Grey: alright,(gets up) Annie please look after Silver for a few minutes.

Annie: ok.

Ahri: where are you going?

Grey: I'm going to wait for Nidalee to finish her judgment.

Ahri: (frown) why? She doesn't need you there.

Grey: true, but I want to be there for her when she's done, would you have liked it if I wasn't there for you?

Ahri: well... no.

Grey: then I'll be going.

Grey takes his leave and Aki remembered something.

Aki: oh right! Ahri weren't you going to show Grey your skin?

Ahri: oh come on! I completely forgot!

While Ahri whined, Nidalee entered into the high summoners and Grey sat down waiting for her.

Nearly thirty minutes later and Nidalee exit, there was tears in her eyes but she was trying to keep strong, Grey approached her and put a hand on her shoulder.

Grey: so? How did it go?

Nidalee: it went well I guess, I'm the beastial huntress now.

Grey: I'm glad to hear that, well then let's go.

Nidalee: hey Grey, where will I be staying?

Grey: they have rooms for champions, I'm with Ahri.

Nidalee: you stay with her in the same room?

Grey: it's a little pay back, I owe her something.

Nidalee: (smile) really now.

Grey didn't see a reason to smile but he didn't think much of it, they reached the table with Annie still playing with Silver and Ahri talking with Aki.

Ahri: (whisper) so I just want it and it'll happen?

Aki: (whisper) yeah, just think and you'll change.

Ahri: (whisper) thanks.

Aki: (looks at Grey and Nidalee) oh hi, so did you pass?

Nidalee: yes.

Ahri: anyway, Grey I got something to show you, (looks at Nidalee) in our room.

Nidalee easily noticed how she said the word 'our', basically she was telling her to beat it.

Grey: really? But Nidalee needs-

Nidalee: it's ok, I got something to do anyway, so don't worry about it.

Grey: you sure?

Nidalee: (smile) positive, so go on, I'll meet you later.

Grey: alright, (looks at Silver) come on boy.

Silver turns his attention to Grey and jumps on his shoulder and Ahri was a little taken back by Nidalee, but she still got up and left with Grey.

Ahri: "huh... maybe I misjudged her?"

Now that Grey and Ahri left Nidalee looked at Aki.

Nidalee: hey, your a summoner, right?

Aki: huh? Oh! Yes, d-do you need something?

Nidalee: yes, I want to know who arranges the rooms?

Grey and Ahri reached their room, once inside Silver jumped down and started running around.

Grey: so what did you want to show me?

Ahri: well... this.

Ahri was coverd in light and then she appeared in her new skin, she turned around and looked at Grey who had his eyes wide.

Grey: ... what just happened?

Ahri: this is my new skin, skins are something champions use for battle like different clothes, I got mine yesterday and wanted to know what you think.

Grey: it... looks good, it really suits you.

Ahri: (blush) thanks "ok he already likes it so now just ask him out, he already owes me time together so he can't say no" (deep breath) hey Grey, do you want to go on a da-

(Knock)(knock)

They both looked at the door as someone knocked, Ahri was frustrated that her moment was ruined and marched to the door, she opened the door to find... Nidalee?

Nidalee: (smile) nice to see you.

Ahri: uhmm... yeah... so what are you doing here?

Nidalee: I'll be staying here from now on, so this is my room too.

Ahri: what!?!

Nidalee pointed at the door and Ahri saw another name plate other then her and Grey's, it said 'Beastial huntress'.

Ahri: this can't be, you don't even have a room.

This time Nidalee pointed at the wall opposite of her and Grey's room and they both saw a door that wasn't there before.

Ahri: how...?

Nidalee: (shrug) I don't know, the summoners said something about magical amplification, I wasn't really listening, (smile) now I want to get in please.

Ahri: well you can't stay here.

Nidalee: and why?

Ahri: because... because... (looks at Grey) Grey tell her she can't stay here.

Grey: I-

Nidalee: he can't, you see he owes me.

Ahri: owes you what?

Nidalee: for scaring me half-dead by jumping over a cliff with a broken arm.

Ahri: (looks angry at Grey) you WHAT!?!

Grey: I-

Ahri: (looks at Nidalee) well you still can't stay here.

Nidalee: yes I can, if I can't that means Grey doesn't have to stay with you because he owes you too.

Ahri was speechless, she didn't just have her moment ruined but she can't kick her out because she's right.

Nidalee got in and grabbed Grey by the arm.

Nidalee: well since your obviously frustrated, Grey can sleep in my room and you won't have to be bothered.

Ahri immediately pulled Grey and glared at Nidalee.

Ahri: that's not necessary, it's you're first night, you can have it to your self.

They both started glaring at each other, they both were ready to attack but Grey pulled both his arms away.

Grey: or you both go to your rooms and I sleep on the couch, that way everyone sleeps alone.

They looked at each other again, they weren't winning, but they weren't losing either.

Ahri/Nidalee: fine!

They both left to their rooms and slammed the door, Grey sighed and left Vordt's mace in the corner near the window.

He sat in the couch, took off his hat and ran his hand through his hair, he looked at Silver as he jumped on the table in front of the couch and looked at him smiling.

Grey: (rolls eyes) of course you're happy, you're not the one who has to sleep on the couch because he stopped two girls from killing each other.

Grey started scratching behind his ear with Silver wagging his tail in delight... but neither of them noticed the Figure that appeared above Grey.

The figure was tall and big, it was wearing an armor of human skeletons and had bone arms, it's right arm however was replaced by a brutal looking blade and it's back was made of a strange black substance.

The figure was there for a moment, lowered it's head to look at Grey...... then vanished.

(A/N Thank you for reading this chapter, I really hope everyone is enjoying my story so far, also I have a question, I want to bring Thresh but I want to confirm something, he is considered a corrupt undead right? Yes or no, I need to know for his meeting with Grey, also a side note, I'm planning to bring Gundyr Iundex, do you want to or not.)
