Champion: Val'daas

A story about Rira & Salvador

Lore:

Rira was a child of an old man named Salvador who both lived deep in the wild forests not too far off of Ionia. One quiet night, when both Rira and her father were asleep they had been troubled by the intruders who kidnapped Rira who was held tight by her father's hands swearing to not let go. But eventually the intruders were able to cut off the tangled, tight grasp of their hands and knocking out the father in the process.

Salvador woke up not to long after, he realised that he has to find his little girl no matter what will have to be done in the process. Using the knowledge he gained over the years as he and his little girl travelled all over, he gathered all the things he need to cast a spell showing him where his daughter is. He succeeded to do so, he begins to prepare to leave the house and he was thinking about everything but one thing, what he will do to those men who took his daughter.

He begins walking through the dead silent/isolated forest, he see's the big mountains in the far distance. The magic spell is showing him the direction of where he needs to go on his hand, and not too long after a massive ray of light bursts into the sky, and he already knew what that was. He knew that it was the one thing he tried to protect his little girl from his whole life. Without hesitation he begins to sprint as fast as he possibly could to get to those mountains.

After what seemed like days, minutes passed by as he finally was able to get there ignoring the fact that his whole attention was to his girl that was crouched by the ground and not noticing that he was exhausted and out of breath. The next thing he see's is the 3 men charging at him with rusty swords, he was prepared this time. He closed his eyes blocking all sound and what ever else was happening in the moment, taking a deep breath as he casts a spell with his hands pushing them to the side causing them to fly away like a pair of leaves in a cold breeze.

But he see's one more intruder finishing casting a spell that killed her in the process, that appeared to carry out her power into Rira. Salvador runs up to her worried because he knows he doesn't have much time before he has to do something he hoped he will never have to do. He tell's her that...

'No matter what happens next, I want you to know that I will always love you' 'Dad, I know. It's okay.' replies with tears coming from her eyes. 'I'm so sorry Rira.' her father also beginning to cry.

Salvador notices that Rira can't hold the magic within her anymore as he notices that her hands were shaking horribly in pain. Salvador stabs her with a blade that was specially crafted for when this day came, able to kill without causing the deadly magic inside to detonate. Salvador begins to tear up, as Rira places her hands on her fathers soppy cheeks as he glances at her he see's that in her last seconds of her life end with her transferring the magic inside her to her very father un-intentionally.

He feels the magic surge through his veins, through bloodstream all the way to his brain. That magic was corrupting every part of him, his memories, his mind, his very body itself.

In his last moments he remembers what he was before; a guardian of those who attempted to get access to this magic. A father who had to flee and abandon his duty as a guardian because his family life was threatned. A husband who lost his wife during the escape. A father that was living alone with his daughter in the forest. Now a man who is about to disintegrate because of the mistakes and the things he tried to prevent.

Val'daas was finally risen, in a body magically strong enough to hold an ancient vessel such as himself. He looks around and leaves, seeking to find Runeterra where he will find those who he long waited to see for thousands of years.

The visual looks awesome, did you create it yourself or did you use something as a template?

Curious to know more. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
