After the devastation of his scorpion-like race, Skarner wandered through the deserts of Shurima searching for his purpose to which he stumbled upon the Kingdom of Shurima. The guards attacked him relentlessly seeing this strange creature trying to enter their kingdom. Skarner defeated them, to the witness of King Azir who appointed Skarner as the new guard to the main gate of Shurima.

As time passed there was a sudden outbreak of rumors upon the merchants who entered Shurima. A creature beneath the sands devastating the wares of merchants causing them to lose their goods. King Azir sent Skarner out to scour the lands of nearby Shurima and prevent the creature from attacking the Kingdom. Skarner, who's only goal now in life was to fight the strongest of enemies, set out on a journey across the lands. He ended up getting a bit lost as the strong sandstorms disoriented his sense of direction. He had to find his way back. He aimlessly searched around for any merchants to help guide him back to the kingdom of Shurima.

In the distance, he saw a merchant and their large caravan. It seemed they were heading towards the kingdom of Shurima and would probably be a good source for direction. Skarner ran towards them only to see a giant monster pop out from under the sands. Skarner quick as a flash jumped into action to defend the caravan as it was his only way home. He battled the monsterous sand creature. The battle seemed to last for hours till sudden silence at a stand still. He held her claw in his and as they stared at one another it was as if time stopped. His mind left to a realm of nothingness except her everything. He could hear her breath coming slow. He smiled and she returned the smile back. Skarner found his new purpose, his new life. As he looked around them, it was all empty sand, the caravan was long gone and he was left alone with this creature who he felt a strange feeling he had not felt in such a long while.

As the days passed Skarner and the creature lived together and found a rocky underground abyss as a home. They lived peaceful days and the creature agreed not to cause harm to nearby travelers. She too had changed in heart, also with once aimless purpose just as Skarner. One day as Skarner set out to scour for food. He came back to see lightning shooting up from the rocky abyss. He skittered quickly to his home to find a familiar voice.

Xerath.

"With this power.. I can DO ANYTHING!" laughed Xerath as he turned to Skarner.

Skarner felt tears swell in his eyes as he saw his life.. his love.. motionless on the ground across him. Skarner jumped at him in relentless anger, fighting uncontrollably with all his might. Xerath found himself struggling and summoned his strong inner powers to vanquish Skarner. Everything turned white and fell to silence.

The scorpion like creature, awoke battered and bruised. His strong armored shell slightly cracked, something that could heal but not his pride. He came to see writings etched on the wall. Xerath had left him a note. "The creature now encased in stone, will heal in darkness through the void. Though, a payment required that can never be taken back, is time." Skarner gently nudged his love in stone. I will protect you for you are my life and purpose. Skarner said, as he decided to become the guardian to this realm in Shurima.

Time...As years passed and decades past, Skarner stood as he promised protecting this area of Shurima. He noticed the lack of merchants passing through the area as it became a desolate wasteland. It was as if the Kingdom of Shurima no longer existed. Skarner had heard no word of anyone again. "Time," that word echoed countlessly in his head. Maybe the magus meant something else, time had long passed. Maybe there was some sort of riddle to these etched words. Skarner gathered leaves and materials. He decided on a new journey to find a way to save his love. He hid the cave she was buried in and set off to find answers for a way to wake up his love. He then stumbled across the battlefield called, Summoners Rift. There were great mages and powerful warriors of legend who competed in this battlefield. There, he knew... he could find answers but to do so he had to prove himself against these great warriors.

As a few years passed...the stone broke.. and stories of a ravenous monster came to surface. A monster with empty eyes of rage.
