Waltz of Blood and White Roses

Prologue: History and Memorials

Since the times of man they have been scared of what they didn't understand. Monsters who stalked through the darkest of nights and watched them waiting. Thinking of them to be fairytales as they slowly overtook society and slowly reshaping it. In Piltover vampires reigned and fed off the undercity of Zaun. Children learned to avoid topsiders and never look them in the eyes for they would take you away at night. In truth vampires could tell one of their own with just a glance and parents feared having their children taken from them ripped away to never be seen again. The vampires of Piltover were many things and kidnappers of children was one of those things, but they were a dying breed.

Unable to procreate well, being murdered by the humans they fed off and being more at risk of mutations or deadly illness. Being forced to procreate with humans to continue their generations most of the people in zaun had some sort of recessive vampire gene within their genetics and making it a risk to have a child. Afterall at least 25% chance that they would be born a vampire and the ranking depended on their history or what happened in their family history. Maybe even the hatred the taken child had when it came towards their new families and would help the zaunites kill them slowly raising up. Killing one or two here or there leading to hundreds of their own being murderer as well. As they were creatures of magic and power. They could break a normal human in half or do it from afar. That's what it meant to be a vampire, power, beauty and pride . With some weakness to sunlight, not being able to eat normal human food most of the time and having to be in control of your emotions at all times. All it took was one slip up for a mistake to ruin your life and that wasn't an option. Ever.

These days they have taken to the sky's and the fresh year that the rich of Piltover blessed the city with. Allowing the people of Zaun to offer their blood for a small amount of coin and to give them that fake sense of freedom. The occasional rejected transformed Zaunite would cause havoc and kill a few people but that was about it in terms of danger. It was safe in Piltover while in Zaun it was a completely different story. Hunters ruled and made sure to keep all of their own safe away from the vampire's grasps. Especially purebloods. They were extremely rare and powerful with the ability to permanently change a human to a vampire. Most other vampires could have drugs or their blood to turn someone but it was painful and didn't always succeed. If the turning failed they could turn into a broken monster or simply die. While purebloods had no such issues and were a beacon of hope in their trying times. Allowing them to have hope and live the best of their lives.

While hunters had to turn to Piltover's trash to survive and were forced to do dangerous jobs to survive. Hunters made most of Zaun’s income and they would share it with their own making sure everyone got something even for the smallest of jobs. That was who the hunters were, kind and strong who gave their everything back to the people. Plenty of children and adults wanted to join their order to give back to their own. There was only a select group who were able to join, just because it was dangerous and not many people could handle killing. Monster or not. But one thing was clear; Topside and the Undercity had their monsters.

Children of the Night,

Children of the Day,

All in one city.

Feeding off one another.

Both fighting for survival.

Children tied both cities together.

A tale of a pair of children,

On each end of the extremes,

With shared histories.

Would change their worlds and possibly heal the damage done.

Eternity (Timebomb Fic)

*Posted from A03 trying something new Sometimes you believe you do the right thing. Destroy the villain, destroy everything they've worked towards for the greater good. But, what right do you have to determine what is good and what is evil? You don't always know the motivations behind someone's actions. Why they tick, why they kill or even why they fight back. You will never know nor will you ever understand. As you both are too different. That gap of world views is enough to ruin the lives of the common people. No one thinks all that far about the people who will be affected. You want to save the world? Alright. What happens then? What happens to the soldiers of the enemy and their people or even their culture? They say only the victor gets to write history. But, sometimes the price of victory is great and one if you knew the price. Would you pay it willingly or would you find another way? Sometimes there is no other way and that price must be paid. Most of the time, that price is blood.

Ekko was a hero to the people of Zaun and it was not a title that didn’t bear the pain of thousands. They all suffered because of Shimmer and Silco. This was necessary and it didn’t matter how many died. They had to push forward. It wasn’t something they could just turn their back on. No. They did not have that luxury. Luxury was something the Piltovian’s had and they had it by the bucket full and then some. They would never understand their hardships, their mutual suffering that helped them bond as a people.

Yes. No one would understand. Not Vi, not Caitlyn who kept saying they understood. They didn’t . Those two were too busy trying to figure out who they were to one another and dealing with the petty problems of Topside. Petty problems of hunting Jinx and stopping her. Not, like that was an issue anymore. Jinx disappeared years ago and there was only one person in the world who knew where she was.

Ekko, her Boy Savior.

They had too much history that made it almost impossible for him to turn her in. How he would hold her and stare into her shimmer pink eyes. Jinx was a byproduct of shimmer and he didn’t know what the hell happened to her. She never spoke of it, during their times together. All she did was be there for him as she slipped into a deep sleep. Whenever he watched her sleep, he felt like her silent protector and would keep vowing he would bring her back. Away from shimmer’s influence and bring her back. He was going to pull her out of her endless torment. Torment, he had no idea how deep it ran and how she had left. That amount of Shimmer within her body had to have some negative symptoms. God, what he would give to save her. To save his childhood sweetheart, to just hold her again. Just all the ‘what ifs’.

But, it didn’t matter. She disappeared two years ago and no one was able to find her. Not a single firelight, not Vi or Caitlyn. She disappeared, whisked away by the wind, spirited away. Gone. Some people from the Lanes said she was like a cat and cats disappear when they know they’re going to die. But, Ekko silently prayed that wasn’t the case. Jinx was too stubborn to just die and that was the case here. She was too much of a chaotic force to just take death without saying something about it. But, what would he do if she actually did just die? What then? Did he know what to do after?

That was enough nonsense for today, he had to get his head in the game. They were in the middle of raiding the last Shimmer factory and it was almost over. All of this shit was almost over. This was years in the making, three years in the making if you wanted to get specific. Today was the day Zaun would be free of shimmer and they would finally focus on their recovery. They still had to help all the addicts and find them some relief. After they recovered it was turning their head to the Chem-Barons and their abuse of the people. But, it was one thing at a time. If Ekko had more time, he could do all of that and more in his short life. But, he had to be realistic. Keeping his team and saving the works came first.

“Hey, Ekko! You gotta look at this!” Quinn shouted from farther ahead, it was strange because they already cleared out that area. Ekko knew that he stayed behind to grab some of their research materials and study it to see if they could reverse engineer a cure.

“I’ll be right over! The rest of you go with Scar down to that lower deck, I’m gonna check on Quinn.” As Ekko spoke his order’s, something just felt wrong as he turned his heels and followed where Quinn’s voice came from.

Ekko remembered the laboratory well, it was to the right from where they were. It only took a few minutes by using his hoverboard and saw Quinn digging through some papers. Looking through the room, it was more of a mess than the first time he laid eyes on it. Papers were on the ground with multiple bags full of even more documents. Various books were stacked on top of one another and Quinn stood in the middle looking like a mad scientist obsessed with his work.

“No way…” The words seemed to slip out of his mouth as looked over at Ekko.

“No way, what?” Ekko was beyond confused as Quinn picked up a book and stood up to show him.

“Read this! The shimmer here is different! It’s stronger and more addictive than before. Even the formula is different! It’s only a slight difference, but that’s all they need to make a super drug.” As Quinn spoke, he pointed at the parts of the formula that changed from the original.

“Someone’s been trying to recreate the formula. Caitlyn has sealed off this area for the past week as we’ve been looking for all the workers and gathering as much information as we could. No one has been able to get in.” It was a long and slow process. But, they managed to track down all of the shimmer factories, even this one. From the looks of it, this was the biggest and the one that held most of their shimmer. That meant that Sevika was here, before we closed it off and lost everything. But, if she’s trying to recreate the recipe without the main ingredient she can’t make more. It’s been months since Shimmer prices normalized and were sky high. So, how was she able to do this?

“From the looks of it, there’s still one more place out there that’s producing Shimmer in smaller doses. It would make sense, the prices for it have been more than any Zaunite has been able to afford through normal means.” Ekko was right and he knew Sevika couldn’t do it alone. From his understanding from what Jinx told him, Sevika was more like Vi and tended to punch her way out of problems. Not the sort who would understand chemicals and be able to recreate Shimmer. That only meant one thing, someone was helping her. Could it be Renata? No, she never had any interest in Shimmer after most of the factories were destroyed. Jinx did say Silco had help and it was someone named The Doctor.

“Who would help make this shit? It can’t be a Zaunite, we all know how much this bullshit fucked us over.” Quinn’s anger echoed through the room as he came to the same conclusion as Ekko and threw the papers into the floor near his feet.

Quinn was a genius when it came to creating chemicals and cures for various ailments. No wonder, he was so upset. He was the one who put the suggestion to keep all the notes to see if he could make a cure. He wanted to save his wife who was in a coma and to give his child a proper life. It was safe to say they all suffered, they suffered enough and it was only one extra thing to look into. It was only a few more days before Shimmer production ceased and those involved were brought to justice.

“We’ll get 'em, their days are numbered. We’ll save them all. We all lost someone to shimmer. Justice will be served.” Ekko gave Quinn a reassuring grin and rubbed the last thing Jinx gave him before she disappeared. It was small and it was one of the few things she kept from her time as Powder. It was a small necklace he gave her as a birthday present and it had a small little gear on it that he painted silver. She made one that matched but in gold for him and gave it to him so they would always have something to remember each other by.

Hey, Boy Savior. Just in case you forget about me, keep that near you and I’ll always be around.

She was the person he lost to Shimmer to Silco. Who disappeared two years ago and could be dead. His childhood sweetheart and someone he loved more than anyone else. It was written all over his face, the pain and suffering he had to go through without her around. She wasn’t evil, she was misguided and she cared about everyone. Well, in her own twisted way she did. She just wanted to be helpful and told she was enough for her family. But, that pure girl was gone and became a force of nature. Yet, she was there waiting for them to come and get her. To say she was good enough for their love and that they couldn’t leave or replace her.

“You’re right. We’ve all lost someone, I lost my wife and almost my child. Eve lost her life to the cause and that was all because of the fight against shimmer. Hell, Ekko. You almost lost everything and you’re still fighting to save Powder. Because, you-” Quinn’s voice was one of angst and rage. He remembered their suffering and it wasn’t one that Ekko didn’t understand. But, he didn’t want to hear those words come out of Quinn’s mouth and that’s because if he did that meant he couldn’t deny it anymore.

“Shut up, let’s finish the mission and start looking for Sevika and her new supplier.”

With Ekko’s words being absolute to the Firelights, Quinn finished packing everything up and followed his leader outside of the room. They both knew something was going to happen and it was just over the horizon. Something dark, gritty and evil. It made them sick and full of anxiety. But, they were heroes to the people of Zaun and whether they liked it or not even heroes had to deal with things unfit for this world. Something that would scar the every eyes of anyone who saw it and sometimes even for the creators. As some things man has made don’t ever deserve to see the light of day.

Romance talk

I always thought there's someone for everyone, like your perfect match someone who will love you more than anything. Funny right? Coming from a shut-in? For me it's ironic since it changed from someone who will never love you back, no matter how badly you love them even if its unconditionally.

Since I'm in that phase of oh I'm done with high school and I never really got to properly test out my type of person I like. All I really got was laughing and screaming about anime boys or game boys from different games. So when I got my first boyfriend in 9th grade, I honestly didnt know what the fuck I was doing . Romance? Nope the most we ever did was a small hug or a kiss on the cheek. It was barely even something that changed our friendship. So yeah not much of a first boyfriend.... Hahahaha lol. It didn't really help that I need him for something to replace what I lost when my mother left a year before and I was missing her alot and when I heard he cared for me, oooo my lord I was like hearty eyes and shit. Girls never do this or anyone like God damn you will be in for some shit.

It was always awkward since around this time, I was so fixed on the fact I wanted to have alot of friends and be popular. I mean by grade 12 I was kinda popular always had my groups of nerds, drama, and gamer groups full of their different groups. But it was always awkward since I was pretty dense and never really noticed my best friend having a crush on me and this is only really here because I only really got to talk to him in my grade 9 year. Or that's when I remember talking to him at least. He was wayyy taller than me and was always nice to me even if I used him as my servant for some stuff. We kinda parted ways until grade 10 where we become "official" friends. After a few more boyfriends that I'll leave for another story. Here we are being one of the biggest ships in our friend group. It was super awkward since we did everything together since we were the best of friends and I always was around him, so people started to think we were dating.

Oh no we weren't and I dont think we ever will. Since that point I meationed comes back into play, I don't know my type other than the normal he has fo be nice, sweet, funny and taller than me type of stuff. That can be almost anyone, so how do you know if you really love that person if you don't know what you want in them? Sure you might know them well but is that person for you? These are some things I think about whenever I get pressured into situations of either please the crowd or take care of yourself and what you want.

But I met someone who really made me think about this really hard. It was half way into my last year of high school so earlier this year and I met this guy who was best friends with my good friend. (My good friend we'll just call him Gray so his name is classified because this is the internet! The guy I met will be called Blue because that's his favorite color) Blue changed my life to put it simply. He was my fall from grace, my reality check, my reason why I cried at night and kept overthinking. He came to my school to visit me and Gray since he wanted to meet me in person. Which I was super confused and anxious about like who wants to meet me? I'm pretty boring since all I do is study and play games and only go outside if I have to like walking my dog or going out with family or friends. Those are the only things that could get me out, but everything changed when I met Blue he made it so fun to be outside.

Since I don't like long walks since I'm pretty out of shape like I'm skinny and all but my stamina is like 4/10 which is bad. So Blue and Gray wanted to go on a walk around Blue's neighborhood after being bored of playing League so I agreed and went with the boys. It was pretty cold and I was there in a red tank top and a black and red red skirt with some stockings. I wasn't dressed for the weather that's for sure so Blue let's me borrow his jacket and I was pretty embarrassed since first time that happened to me. So I agreed and we all put on our shoes and we left his house about a couple minutes into our walk Blue decides to hold my hand and I'm just like staring at our hands like omg omg wtf is happening. Was what was going through my mind.

It was something magical and it made me feel special but looking back that should've been a red flag. He has only really hung out with me twice and he was doing all this and calling me cute. Since jumping to earlier that day all three of us were sitting together Blue and Gray on chairs and I was on the floor my head was near his table and we talked for a bit but they did something that made me hit my head on the table. (This is like something that always happens every time I visit him) Blue is the first one to check on me like holding my head and pulling me to his stomach and having his face on my hair. It felt so unrealistic who would care that much? But back to that walk he kept holding my hand for that whole walk and I loved every second of it.

A few weeks later I ask him who he had a crush on and he tells me that he loves me and I was so shocked. Like this isn't real no way. So I ask him what he likes about me, and he gave me the response of I had a crush on you since the first type I saw you, you were so cute and small you were just so adorable. I didnt think how much that sentance would change me so much how much confidence that gave me or how much I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. But I didnt know that at time I would have a mini crush on him but another few weeks he says he doesnt love me anymore and it just hurt so much and it caused alot of drama inside our discord server and we didnt see each other for a month.

Looking back on it, I think true love exists since for me I love him so much it hurts. Even if he hurt me so much and I still care so much. He changed me for the better, he gave me confidence and the ability to do try new things.

But since this chapter of high school is over and everything I think it's time for a new start. Be someone I can be proud of and maybe win him back show him that I'm not just this clumsy girl he had a crush on. I can prove to him, I can be someone he can love.

So I guess what you can take out of this are:

Know what you want

Put yourself out there when it comes to romance

Don't be afraid to try new things

Dont fall for the first person who says they care about you

That's all!
