For what little my opinion is worth, I enjoyed it immensely. It had a feeling of weight to it. A vastness and a melancholy somewhere between despair and resolve. I really thoroughly liked the atmosphere and the wording and the background and, really, the whole thing. Kudos to everyone that worked on it and the art.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :-)
I'll be honest, it was inspired BY that magnificent piece of artwork. The moment I first saw that, last year, story ideas started whizzing around in my brain box...

It really is fantastic. It makes Kassadin out, in my opinion, to be an exhausted soul who wants more than anything to be reunited with his family again. But he can't, because he knows that as long as the Void threatens the land he cannot die. Or rather, give up. The story manages to perfectly describe the Void from the point of view of someone who was directly effected by it: an all consuming abyss whose very essence defies the world it seeks to devour. Kassadin comes off as tired, the kind of tired that only terrible loss and never-ending struggle can bring. And yet he keeps going, defying the Void. I like this story, I like it a lot.
This. Plus my favorite part of the story is how Kassadin speaks (or is he thinking to himself). To me it seems that he is not completely there mentally yet more than enough is there to keep him as himself, and human.
I agree, this story was extremely good, it really catch Kassadin's story and goal, I loved it.
Kassasin is officially my husbando now. No homo.
I'm not not sure if Kai'sa is actually his daughter... It's hinted enough, but it's not really confirmed. It matters because Kassadin actually has the same problem that old Varus had... He isn't really connected to anyone.
Like, how is he connected to other champions? Whats does he want after he beats the void? I feel like he needs some kind of connection to someone otherwise he feels more like a side character... But I still think the story was good, of course.
