The Grimoires is a League of Legends fan fiction set in Valoran. Each chapter of the story follows multiple characters through an escalating conflict between Noxus and Demacia. The chapter released this week is told from the perspective of Vladimir. Here is an excerpt if you're interested:

“If the sky could be burnt down to its purest form, its purest colors, it would be nothing more than a stale and endless grey. It would be nothing but the sound of the grey seas that churned at the beginning of time, when the Tidecallers first raised their staves at the Great Moon and moved entire islands. For you see, underneath the azure blood of the sky is a soul stretched beyond its capacity to hold water. Runeterra is dry, her blood is all gone.”

I don’t get it, Vladimir said. He was just a boy and these were matters in which he had no business, matters folded away in stained parchment, hidden in the shadows of libraries that even starved moths dared not approach. And yet he was curious.

Inside, his heart fluttered every time his master brought it up—the blood of things, of birds and yellowgrass and the flowers; the moon, the sun, the earth, the sky. All of these things, the master called them, had a blood that ran through. It was a network of bloods, of dark wills all coming together but feeding into the same stale, endless grey soul of the wide monster that hid behind the sky.

The master never talked about the monster.

If you have any feedback or suggestions on how I can make The Grimoires better, let's discuss! Thanks for reading.
