" Theusus , Ionia's Emancipator " ( Valkyrie Slayer XinZhao skin Lore , part 2 of 3 )
" An Ominous Origin "
240 years ago , far from Runaterra's current state , in the center of what is now known as the " Coastal area of Ionia " [ (https://gyazo.com/9092ffab35de8f77f09e8b87f80ab158 ] A massive Egg like structure 75 feet tall appeared in thin air after gusty winds and a slightly gloomy storm , then it started to reverberate and float in thin air , it has an eerie feeling to it and it didnt take long when a certain man from a nearby village took notice of it .
This man's name is Theusus , he's a pretty well built 21 year old man with an appreciation of Ionia's nature and its mystical properties , He enjoys fishing gleaming Trouts and other strange fish found in it's Coastal waters , it is brimming with life and he loves to study them and put them to good use or sell them for profit occasionally to support his Hobby , but everything changed with the arrival of this weird hovering Egg in its Center . i have a bad feeling about this sight , wait till Flay gets to see this . aughh there was nothing of this sort in the village's murals of Ionia , in fact this island isnt too big either . as Theusus' mounting frustration and unsettling feeling got the best of him , he decides to go back to his village to share this news with the villagers and especially with his Black smith childhood friend Flay .
_ " Randel Village of Ionia " _ [(https://gyazo.com/c914862b5020f9e0abf5da5cde3143eb ] ,
Theusus arrives in the village , without the usual smile in his face and a spring in his step . he decides to head straight towards the village elder's Hut to spill the unsettling news to him . _ Elder minkou , while i was fishing in the coastal waters i came across a hovering Egg like structure floating in its center , do you by any chance know what kind of wild magic or phenomena this is ? seeing it is enough to make me worry _ , The elder while initially surprised , collected himself and assured him that it is indeed worrying but he's never heard legends or have seen murals concerning the egg so its important to not overreact and burden one's self with this matter , for it will only worry the other villagers some more . _If you are that worried , i will send a search party tomorrow and let you accompany them so you may observe it , try as i might i am too old for this . _ To which Theusus agrees .
He dropped by Flay's Workshop and had idle chit chat , _Well look who it is , the coastal region dweller himself , hahaha ! what new fish and concoctions have you caught and made up this time Theusus ? leaving poor old me to sweat in this Workshop , anyways you're not your usual self , whats wrong ? _ . Theusus trying to make humor of the situation replied , _ HAH i wouldve lived there like you said but i think something has taken new residence of the area and im not so happy with that . _ Flay was confused and curious , _ Hey spill it already , i want to know more about that " something " lemme guess , a big fish gave birth to its offspring and its being overly protective of the area ? _
Hey cut it out Flay , this is serious.. a big egg like structure appeared in thin air after a gusty and stormy weather and i dont think its gonna stay peaceful for long around here.. what if it crumbles one day ? and something hatches from it ? , gaah i have so many questions.. I.. im just worried for our village.. everyone is Family around here.. , we already lost both of our parents from foreign soldiers who wants to conquer Ionia , i dont want something like that to happen again .
Flay taps his childhood friend on the shoulder and assures him , _Hey hey cheer up now , if push comes to shove i will forge something that will prevent such thoughts or possibilities to even happen in the first place _ . a smiling Theusus answered , _ hahah , right but thanks though that cheered me up . well im off to sleep now , for tomorrow is a pretty hectic day , ill make sure to bring you something of use from the search party _ .
" The Search party and the Birth of the First Maiden "
Dawn came , Theusus was readying himself to meet with the search party , they are about to investigate the coastal area with uncertainty in their midst , as they near the area where the egg like structure was hovering they marvelled at its sight , well except Theusus as he already has his doubts , this thing has a faint howling vibrating sound to it and as the vibrating ends he had a feeling something was about to happen and with a sense of urgency he implored the search party all of them including him need to run as fast and stay far as possible from the egg .
its as if all the wildlife stopped for a moment . seemingly every fiber and being of that part of ionia was left in shock as the Egg structure slowly crumbled as an intense power that can be seen between the cracks fades as if whatever it was nurturing inside has expired and ran its course . Theusus and the search party were all hiding at the moment , and they could only observe what transpired next , a humanoid like being that resembled a beautiful woman was left in the air , flapping its 10 enormous wings gracefully , it slowly descended towards the watery ground , observing its surroundings , then it proceeded to implant vine like structures that protruded from her thighs into the earth , as it slowly turns her legs into a cocoon like state , fully integrating with the ground , the humanoid start to pulsate and seems to relish its current state .
Shortly after observing , Theusus confirms his dread and fear as he witness the 10 winged Humanoid's abdomen start to grow in size in a dramatic rate , after which another humanoid would burst forth and plop towards the ground , a fully grown woman learning how to crawl and walk in seconds , in which at the same time completely regenerating the abdomen of the one that birthed it . as its body dries up it grows a unique armor from its body , and 2 wings would protrude from its back , as it is fully capable of flight after seemingly seconds it takes a little while longer for it to grow its sword and helmet .
It is not a normal sight , but Theusus stomached it . As the 2 winged humanoids start to multiply from the 10 winged one , he urged the search party to quietly leave and head towards the village .
