[Champion Concept] Shade -- The Tortured Soul
Shade -- The Tortured Soul (Edited and Finalized!)
Lore: A bright light appeared, breaking the unending darkness. Followed by maniacal laughter. Just as suddenly as it appeared, the light was gone. In its place, a woman. She began screaming, trying to find a way out. "Give it up lightslinger." Came a sad sounding voice from the dark. "The only ones that can hear you now are me, and the warden." "Who are you?" The woman asked. "Unimportant." the dark replied seemingly angry. Getting frustrated she yelled "Who are you!" Suddenly a chain whip with 4 spiked points on the end slammed into the ground next to her, sparks flying as it slithered back to its origin. "Now Senna, you might as well just calm down." A red glow came from the seeming unending darkness. Soon, it took shape, it was a eye. That sight would haunt her forever. She began to feel weak but couldnt stop staring in horror at the figure that was slowly taking shape, seemingly half human and half machine, but the metallic parts seemed to be almost void-like. "Ive been stuck in this limbo for far too long. But, now that your here, its time for me to be on my way." A happier voice said. Then light reappeared, only this time it was more red then the first time. "After many many years in this prison, i learned how to make my way out. But theres a catch, to free a soul, you must sacrifice a soul. Thats where you come in, you will be my sacrifice." Senna tried to run, but the chain whip wrapped around her and pulled her back to the monster. "Fear not lightslinger, you get used to the darkness after a while." Shade rushed into the light, senna closing her eyes, waiting for death, but it did not come, her soul was now forever trapped in the depths of the lantern. Shade landed on the ground hard, getting his bearings, he looked up to see the warden standing over him. "How, how did you escape?!" The ghostly creature yelled. "No time to explain warden, i just kinda figured my sentence was about over, so i showed myself out" Shade swung his Whips out in front of him, knocking the warden over, he then ran off into the woods. Shade wandered the land for months, doing his best to hide his looks, he wanted a new life, no more senseless killing, but he wondered, "Was killing her senseless? Desperation?" Lost in his train of though, sitting at the table at a small diner in a village outside of Demacia, When a man sat down a table or so away from him . He looked at the man, a grey overcoat, dark skin and black hair, he seemed familiar but Shade couldn't put a name to the face, then he saw the weapons the man was armed with, two light pistols, one different from the other, smaller, more feminine. Then Shade realized, that was Sennas husband. Shade walked over to the mans table and sat down. "What do you want?" the man asked. In a solemn voice shade replied "I wish to speak to you about someone, her name was Senna." Lucian put his hand on his gun, "Oh yea? What about her?" "Calm down now lucian, i dont mean any harm. But i might know where you can find her." Lucian snapped at Shade, "I know exactly where she is! In the lantern!" "Yes, and i might know a way to get her back" "Oh yea, how?" Lucan asked, but with a sarcastic tone. Shade sighed, "im going to be totally honest with you right now." Shade then explained all that had happened, but suddenly before he could finish, Lucian pulled his gun and shot Shade in the shoulder, yelling "YOU TOOK HER FROM ME!" This infuriated Shade, he lost, control. He slung out his whips, grabbed Lucian with them and threw him through the diner wall, then out of sheer uncontrollable anger, started tearing up the small village, the metal whips ripping through the wooden huts and buildings like they were nothing. By the time Shade realized what he had done, over 4/5 of the village inhabitants were either dead of wounded. Shade then ran off into the woods in shame. Avoiding all contact. As he aimlessly wandered through the woods, he saw what looked like to be a lamb sitting on a small rock in the middle of a field, then he felt it. The hunger, then he remembered that he didn’t have time to eat his meal back in town. He readied his whip, snuck up behind the creature, but before he could make a move, a voice came from behind him, looking behind him, he saw a wolf, "I wouldn't do that if i were you, we are much faster than you" Shade then looked forward again, noticing the lamb was gone, but when he turned to look at the wolf again he noticed the lamb was also standing there. "You must be kindred. Ive heard of you, and now that i have found you, i need a favor." Shade kneeled in front of the lamb, bowed his head, and told her "Please, put me out of my misery, ive caused so much pointless pain and suffering, let me be free from this damned existence." But the lamb wouldn’t do it. she said softly, "It is not yet your time, but do not worry, we will meet again." and walked off into the woods. That was the last any saw of shade, although many think he’s been wandering from region to region trying to find a place to call home. Or a place to destroy. Or maybe, just a friend.
