Lore

The raiders were coming. Their armies were barreling in from the east, and the village’s defenses were not enough to hold them back. The reward would be handsome. Their mission was to acquire the target and leave. Simple enough.

The book of spirits had not failed him. Nekro stood there amazed at what he saw. He had to keep it safe, guard it with his life. There was power beyond imagination in these old, torn pages he found in the forest. Even Nekro was skeptical of some of the spirits which the book described. A spirit of healing: sure; but reincarnation!?

Nekro had always been an outsider. He had only one companion, only one other like him. He was a student, but a great one at that. Udyr was getting better, and his master was getting old. Time had started to take its toll on his body, but his mind was as sound as ever. He and Udyr had always shared secrets about the true power of spirituality, but the book was Nekro’s secret, and it was his alone. Although Nekro had always toyed with the idea of testing out the book, he always refrained from unleashing the untapped power of those ragged pages. Today, however, it was not a joke.

Nekro hid in the planned spot, with the book of course. The village had expected a raid, and the time had finally arrived. He could hear the desperate cries of his villagers and students alike echoing along the blood-stained streets. Days went by, and Nekro was still hidden in his area. The book was okay, but his village was destroyed. The raiders were leaving and would not return. Nekro knew what he had to do, and he couldn’t wait to try it.

Leaving his secluded hiding spot was a relief, but the aftermath of the invasion hit him hard. The whole village was destroyed including his home, and the dead were lying in the streets. He was the sole survivor of the attack, but maybe not for long. If the book was right, he might be able to reverse the consequences.

Fire, earth, water, and air. The four elements of the universe surrounded him with their endless combinations of perfection. He could handle them one at a time, but all four at once was what he needed. Combining all four elements like the book said had never been done before, but for good reason: nobody knew how. Nekro was as lost as he had ever been, but he thought he knew what to do. Totems would be his key to the prize.

The fire totem burned the ground around him while the water totem kept its power in check. The earth totem provided a stable base, but the air totem constantly blew it down. The four totems were created, but the correct combination had yet to be achieved. Nekro was about to combine them, and he desperately hoped that everything would be repaired.

The flash of light was too much for Nekro to handle, and the radiating power was overwhelming. He knew he got it right. This much power channeled into the dead could bring them back for sure. Reincarnation was happening before his eyes, and it was exactly what he needed.

“Sir, I think we have our next competitor for the Fields of Justice.” The master raised his eyebrow. “He revived his people, and he has released an amount of spiritual power previously unknown to Runeterra." The master smiled. “Can’t wait to see him on the Rift.”

“The ultimate combination provides limitless possibilities.” -Nekro

Thanks for reading. Leave a comment below letting me know how I did and what I could do better.

*EDIT 1: Thanks to NeverNewYear, I changed the numbers on his R. It seemed extremely overpowered, and it's always nice to have a second pair of eyes to point that stuff out.

**EDIT 2: Thanks to a comment from DillonHurley on Reddit, I changed the values for his Q which was also extremely unbalanced.
