(I main Sona and Lux)
(
On her deathbed. various champs are crowding around. Garen charges through the masses, running like he hasn't in decades despite his own poor health. Sona sits with her etwhal on her lap, fingering the golden designs with her shriveled fingers and staring intensely at the events unfolding before her.)
: Lux! you can make it through this. I swear on m-
: Garen, please. hope banishes fear, but a false hope brings a greater fall. do not weep for me. All light must eventually fade, but the memory of that light will live on.
: DON'T SPEAK LIKE THAT! don't ever speak like that. I-i'm not going to let you go that easily. I won't.
: (smiles slightly) I haven't heard you yell like that in decades, since I told you I was going to spend a year in Shurimah training Taliyah to control her magic. you were so mad. you thought you might never see me again.
Garen, listen. our time in this world is drawing to an end. I am departing, and eventually you will join me. Wherever we may go, I trust that we will be together. so please, don't weep.
(Turns to Sona) Sona. Words cannot describe how happy I am to see you here today.
: (smiles faintly)
I have a request of you. I've always admired you and your music, ever since we were young. I know we grow older by the day, and playing your instrument becomes harder and harder as we age, but could you try to play a song for me? One more song to ease my passing.
: (Smiles and nods, a single tear trickling down her cheek. she plucks a string, making a faint reverberation in the air. nodding, she slowly let herself be enveloped by the music, improvising her greatest work yet. It was a sad song, a song of passing. a song of letting go.)
: (a single tear glistens on her face.) Thank you, Sona. and goodbye...
