So I had another idea about Aatrox and relates to Varus!

So in this thread (https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/ObnuQuwL-sogoing-out-on-a-limb-here-what-if-aatrox-is-a-demonized-darkin ) I speculate that Aatrox is a corrupted Darkin who is being tainted by the sword he wields, which is a demon because that's who Tahm is talking to. I theorized that the demon is one of wrath, such as Tahm is Greed/Gluttony and the devil lady in Vayne's backstory is lust.

BUT I WAS INCORRECT IN THAT THEORY

Aatrox's blade is not the demon of wrath, it is pride! Aatrox loves combat, and he makes it a point to be as fluid and artistic as possible. The blade isn't the demons true form, just the form it took to best corrupt Aatrox.

You know who else is being corrupted? This guy Varus.

Now I'm sure we've all heard the theory of Varus's bow being a Darkin. Well I disagree! Varus's bow is actually a demon, a sin of wrath to be specific, who feeds on Varus's rage and corrupts him to eventually take his body because Varus isn't fully willing to become part of the demon! Or something, idk the specifics but the point is that Varus's bow is a demon, making Aatrox's sword also likely to be a demon.

Makes more sense when you consider that Ionia locks up "Black Magics" all the time! Just look at the shadow box that Zed went all psycho for!

Aatrox's sword is a demon who corrupted him (or empowered his own twisted pride) which may have caused the downfall of the Darkin race!

Off topic: This could mean that if Morgana and Kayle are also Darkin, then Morgana could also be a victim (but not currently) of corruption!

Remember how a big part of Aatrox's lore is about how he in a way corrupted Tryndamere? The same thing happened to Vayne after horn lady gave her that grin.. Maybe she's wrath?

If we're on the lookout for sentient weapons that empower their wielder with magic, may I suggest a new candidate? Sona Envy.
