Leona/Lux story idea

darkdill·Aug 30, 2015·3 votes·949 views

We need our two light ladies to join forces at some point for a lore event, and here's how I think it could happen.

Lux is fleeing from Noxus after spying on a meeting between Leblanc and Swain, learning that they plan on killing Jarvan III (J4's father). But her cover is compromised and she is chased by Noxian thugs. She is almost caught when Leona, who is on a pilgrimage, comes across the scene and defends Lux (despite not knowing her). Lux is grateful for Leona's help, but still needs to get back to Demacia. Knowing the road is dangerous, Leona offers to protect Lux on her journey, to which Lux graciously accepts.

Cue an adventure between the two where they end up taking far more time to get back to Demacia than they should have. ;)

Cliche? Or cuteness proximity warning?

I feel like this is too much of "she justs happens to be there, and plot continues", type things that happen way too often in young adult fictions (Which I am extremely sick of as a young adult).

Using the recent Burning Tides event as an example, TF and Graves meeting and exchange, is a better idea of how things happen. You have the overall plot (MF Trying to kill GP), with an underlying plot (TF and Graves), and both of them twist and turn with each other in a way that doesn't crowd the other.

TF didn't just happen to run into Graves, to start their series of events. MF orchestrated their meet up, as a way to lure out Gangplank. They are knotted together, that overlap each other.

To use your Leona and Lux example, you have a line, that intersects another line to form one new line. I know that what you have is just a brainstorm, but Leona being there seems way too much like a "I happened to be here to save the day", instead of a "I was manipulated by the Demacian government due to their encouragement to spread the Solari word near Noxian towns, as a way for Lux to have protection."

But that's just me.

Sometimes good stories can result from chance encounters. It also makes Leona's actions more genuine if she isn't just manipulated into finding Lux in the first place.

Besides, if everything is the result of a chessmaster manipulation, it'll become predictable.

I like the idea. We need some way for us to see all of these people interact with each other. That's what made the original lore interesting, and that's what's making the new lore uninteresting.

What are you talking about? You say that as if all lore can immediately be changed and put up for consumption in one day.

That, and come on. Gangplank stole Swain's ship AND plundered Zed's castle.

You're right, they can't do it in a day, but evidence suggests the year it took for us just to get bilge water and no update on the Freljord or Shurima let alone any of those champions butchered in those events since the announcement of the recon that riot has either no idea what they are doing or just don't care.

Can't and/or won't argue with you. I will say this:

Jaredan mentioned that they were going to hold off on Shurima again because of some random things about to come up. Something about "possible oppurtunity" popping up to do something. Most likely because of the Harrowing.

I don't remember which thread he said it in, but it should still be present on the S&A board if you use the "recent" sort setting.

It can't happen in a day, but a year should be more than enough.

The way I see things, if there wasn't any "tech issues" the only thing we would have that we were originally missing is the Shurima bios. Otherwise, everything would have been proceeding at the same pace.

Ah. . .but the darkness is nothing more than the absence of

light, and thus it is truly nothing. And in the void of nothingness,

there exists the sun, to cast out light upon the universe and bring warmth to all so life may flourish. Hail the sun. . . .bitch. - Leona

Even the sun will die one day. All candles will burn out. All life will rot away. And eventually, the only thing left is nothingness itself.

Karthus "In the end, only the dead shall remain."

EmbertineSep 2, 20151 votes

Ah yes, but many times has a sun died, only to be reborn again. The cycle of life is never ending. And the dead? Death is but the end of life, it too ends. For when one life ends, room is made for another to begin. For a time. . .maybe. . .life will cease to exist. . .but in time it will begin anew, as it has done before. However you must remember, without life, there can be no death. . .
