Chaos Chronicles #1: Big Reveal
It was a normal morning in the tavern, nothing much happening. I was serving our all-nighters coffee to help cure their hangovers; the waitress, Giselle, was giving orders to the cook, who was in the kitchen making pancakes. Like I said, a typical morning. Suddenly, a man came rushing into the tavern, waving his arms and screaming hysterically to come outside and see the towns' emergency screens. Everyone filed out of the tavern and looked into the town square where the screens were on the old bell tower. The picture was shaky and unfocused, so it was clear that this was some hacker messing with us. Then, I hear a voice. HIS voice. I hadn't heard it in so long, I only barely recognized it. It was my brother, Axl Highlander's, voice.
"Hi there Polonus, it's me, Axl. This is Leeroy. See, Leeroy crossed me the other day and had information I needed, so since helped me, I'm helping him," Axl states.
"PLEASE HELP ME!" Leeroy screams. He is clearly uncomfortable, and I understand why. He is strapped to an electric chair, which means that Axl is holding him in Zaun, the only place that has yet to illegalize the chair.
"Shhh... it's gonna be OK. Anyway, I'm calling my big brother, Dante Highlander. I know he's there; I've been keeping tabs on him since he turned 20, so HI!" Axl playful said. At that point, everyone in the square turned toward me and gasped, surprised.
"Dante, I have some exciting news. I know who killed Mom," Axl jests in a sing-song voice. Mom's death had happened 12 years ago, but it was still a painful subject for me. Somehow, Axl had found a coping mechanism because he was clearly over it.
"Thing is though, he's a champion in the League Of Legends. So, the only way I'm going to be able to ask him why our mother was the subject of his temper, is by joining the League Of Legends myself. Then, I'm going to kill him. After that, I'm going to kill you. Only then will be able to join my boss at his side. Anyone that gets in my way, there or back, is going to die. So if you want answers, you better find our mom's killer before I do. I'll even give you a two day head-start. Bye now," Axl turns and kicks away the chair that Leeroy is in. Flipping the gun that our father, Warden Highlander, gave him into the air and kicking it off of his heel, Axl catches it and shoots Leeroy in the head mid-fall. He then shoots the camera, and the screens fade back into their normal clock mode.
Everyone in the square looks at me, knowing about my choice already. Even the old folk, stuck in their ways and not willing to change their stance on a great many things nodded their reluctant approval of my treason. I had my bag packed a long time ago to leave, but I had built a life here. Laying low was the best option after the fight between my brother and I in the capital of Noxus, where the little town of Polonus resided on the border between the States most hated enemy, Demacia. I had to leave my hometown in the Capital, and cut my ties with my friends there. Throwing on my hood and grabbing my pack, I told my friends in the tavern that it was time. I kissed Giselle for the last time and walked out of the tavern. Out of the square, out of the town, onto the road. The road to my NEW home, to my OLD friend, to my CURRENT objective. To Demacia.
