Lore

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/a0/Ionia_School_of_Transcendentalism.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110604184947 Senja has always dreamed of being the hero of Ionia. At a young age, he trained under the best masters that money could buy. The pay had never proved to be a waste. Senja aged, every day, growing stronger and stronger. His masters also came to love him more and more. They considered him to be their family, and so they were overjoyed at seeing him graduate their academy at a master's level. Senja went on to be of the greatest swordsmen that ever lived, and fulfilled his dream of being the hero of Ionia. He defeated any enemy that posed as a threat.

But years passed, and Senja had begun to draw attention - unwanted attention. From time to time, he felt he was being watched. He felt he was being threatened. The day of confrontation came, and Senja was met by a dark figure - a spectral rider - The creature stood tall and proud, and stared at Senja as if they were friends from a long time ago. The rider spoke words that Senja captured on the spot. He was prepared to offer Senja an eternal life, as well as power that went beyond his imagination. Senja was quick to refuse, and prepared to leave. The rider spoke again, bringing up Ionia, and how much more he could do with this power. This gave Senja another view of the deal. Although his instincts told him to resist the offer, and continue to leave, the spectral rider was so very persuasive, and made it hard to resist. Senja accepted the deal.

After what seemed like hours of riding, but was merely minutes, the spectral rider presented a dark realm to Senja. He gazed in awe at the scenery of this surprisingly dead, but beautiful realm. He spotted ghosts, and goblins, and spiders, but did not fear them. He and the spectral rider continued onwards silently, failing to answer any questions Senja had. He was presented to a dark cave, in which he could hear nothing but the silence of air. He stood awaiting for something to happen, and it did. From inside the cave, a great spider emerged. Senja turned to face the spectral rider, to find him preparing for something. Senja's sense of threat arose, and he clawed at an attempt to escape their presence. The attempt failed. Senja was now surrounded, by creatures whom he originally had no fear of. Senja drew his sword in an attempt at combating the enemies. The battle was long, and Senja grew exhausted. The large spider raised his arms, and created a shockwave which effectively stopped Senja in his tracks. The enemies had begun to claw at Senja, tearing his skin and having him bleed. Senja laid on the cold ground, having died to the monsters.

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/fairytail/images/5/5d/Burning_Fiore.png/revision/latest?cb=20130610200645 Senja's soul had not reached the heavens. He was intercepted by the great spider. Senja's death on these grounds gave the spider the power to resurrect him. Senja had awoken from his death as a spirit, failing to remember what happened. The spider had cursed him to obey and serve this dark world, forever. Senja obeyed, and served his great Spider God. Years passed, and Senja was brought a different task. Senja and the spectral rider were to lead a force of darkness to destroy an Ionian village. Senja had begun to remember, but not enough to intervene. He obeyed, and led his swarm of monsters to Ionia. Senja was first to enter. Many recognized him in his spiritual form. Those who did, wept for him. He could not understand why this was, but slowly remembered it so. The spectral rider interrupted his memories, and proceeded with the invasion. The invasion ended in destruction for the Ionian village. There were no survivors of the attack. However, Senja was confronted by a dying Ionian elder. The man weakly grabbed his clothing, and wept again, before falling to the floor. Senja stared at the man, and remembered it all. He kneeled down to the man and whispered "I'm sorry master."
