[Champion Concept] Shade -- The Tortured Soul
Shade -- The Tortured Soul
**Lore: ** > A bright light appeared, breaking the unending darkness. 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. "Im the only one that can hear you now." "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 couldn't 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. "As i understand, you have been trapped in this lantern for quite some time. I found this small sector after years of attempted escapes, its a middle ground, between the lantern, and the real world, i have brought many here to fulfill my purpose for them, but their spirits are all too weak, but you, your different, a warrior. I can tell your strong enough" "What are you talking about?" Senna asked. Then the 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, ever hear of the saying 'Blood for Blood'? Its the same principle, in order for me to leave and return to the real world, i must first trick the lantern into thinking that ive been sent back into its depths, Thats where you come in, you will be my trick, as you are sucked back to the lantern, i will be able to escape." Senna tried to run, but a ghostly whip pierced her heart, pulling her close to the monster. "Fear not lightslinger, your imprisonment will no longer be in vain." 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 and a ghostly creature, half horse half man, standing over him. "How, how did you escape?!" The warden 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 and his companion over, he then ran off into the woods. With hecarim right on his heels, finding a small village, shade morphed himself, a trick he learned during his imprisonment, he made himself look like one of the villagers, but could only do so for short periods of time, he would have to find somewhere to hide before it wore off. Hecarim soon gave up his persuit and left. Shade followed suit and left, headed in the opposite direction. 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 sending her back to the lantern 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, immediately showing his true self, 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 saw the bow leaned up beside the rock. Walking over the the creature, he took a knee and said "I know wolf is nearby, but i would prefer to not die tired, please, make this easy and remove me, remove me from this damned existence. The lamb looked at him, saw the sincerity in his eye but wouldn’t do it. she said softly, "It is not yet your time, but do not worry, we will meet again." Wolf came up to her and they both walked off into the woods. "DAMN YOU KINDRED!" Shade screamed angrily, then he began crying 'Damn you". 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. > > "Many see me as a monster, but not many have seen my good side, or the sad one" -- Shade >
