Abyss Watcher In The League V2 23 Ch23: New Roommate

Me and Shyvana were standing with my father in his castle as he dealt with a few problems from the borders.

Xin Zhao was at my father's side as always. He had dark hair tied into a ponytail, white armor, gold tr.i.m.m.i.n.g and a tri-bladed staff.

Although he's a champion, he doesn't go to the Inst.i.tute for anything other than matches since he's always guarding my father, and I'm honestly thankful to him.

My father was wearing the usual golden robes with a few armor plates for decoration.

He was always a man of peace, always seeking the best for his people. He was absolutely overjoyed when the Inst.i.tute was made to ensure the people's safety, and I wish I can live up to his name one day.

Right now, he was speaking to the captain of the guards "and thanks to winning in the Inst.i.tute, those farms are ours, so just send your men to help without any resort to violence. Am I clear" his voice was kind but still held it's authority.

"yes your majesty" the captain said before turning around and leaving to follow the order.

"well I'm glad that's settled" my father said before turning around facing me "and now, how is you're life in the Inst.i.tute my son?".

"it's going well father, thank you for asking" I replied smiling.

"you seem happy" my father raised an eyebrow "did something happen?".

I nodded "yes, there's a new champion who seems like a great warrior in both skills and heart. I have spoken to him and he seems to want to help anyone in need".

In the corner of my eye, I can see Shyvana smile realizing who I was talking about.

"really? I suppose that is something to be happy about. What is this champion's name?" my father asked.

"his name is-".

"YOUR MAJESTY!" I was interrupted by a guard kicking the doors open. He ran up to us while the doors closed behind him.

"what's wrong?" my father asked on alert.

"there's people trying to break into the castle" the guard said panting.

"what?!?" my father asked as we were all shocked.

"are they Noxians?" Xin Zhao asked. It didn't make sense, why would Noxus attack?

"I don't know" The guard said.

"where are they now?" I asked.

"they're-" the guard was cut off by another guard that was sent flying through the door.

The beaten guard fell on the floor unconscious. More guards came in and got to battle stance with me, Shyvana and Xin Zhao doing the same in front of my father to protect him.

Two figures appeared from the entrance. I got my weapon ready to attack along with Xin Zhao while Shyvana set her hands on fire, but then I saw a familiar pointy hat and cape... Wait, is that...

"STOP!" I yelled at the guards before any of them did anything. I looked at the introders and addressed one of them "Grey?".

"ah, h.e.l.lo prince Jarvan" he said awkwardly.

It really was him, He had his weapons drawn, a big mace on his back, and besides him was a Dark skinned woman.

"uhmm... Do you mind helping me with this... Misunderstanding" Grey said motioning to the guards around them "I a.s.sure you that there is a reasonable explanation".

I sighed heavily and looked at the guards "put down your weapons".

One of the guards looked at me "but sir-".

"now" I said firmly and the guards followed my order. While Shyvana relaxed recognizing Grey.

I walked up to Grey with Shyvana, but Xin Zhao was still a little on guard though.

Grey put away his weapons. While the woman, like Xin Zhao, stayed slightly on guard.

"what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I came to see you" Grey replied plainly.

"well why didn't you just ask instead of breaking in?" Shyvana asked him.

"we did ask, but the guards told us to beat it and one of them made my friend feel... Uncomfortable, and she didn't take it well" he replied.

"it's not my fault he was more bark than bite" the woman besides him said in defense "I wouldn't be surprised if he never finds a mate".

Both me and Shyvana groaned. For some reason I'm pretty sure we both know who's fault it is.

I looked at the captain of the guards "captain".

"sir!" he stood attention.

"go find Tom and Phil... And fire them in the most humiliating way possible" I told him. The captain nodded and went to follow my order.

Grey looked at where the captain went "isn't that a little harsh?".

"no it isn't" Shyvana said shaking her head.

"to be honest I never liked them" I just said naturally. They never took their job seriously, they just joined to gloat "in fact, I've been looking for a reason to fire them for a while, and I got to thank you for giving me one".

Grey tilted his head "uhmm... you're welcome?".

"do you know this person, my son?" my father asked as he and Xin Zhao walked up towards us.

"yes father" I nodded and then motioned to Grey "this is the champion I told you about" I then motioned to my father "Grey, this is my father".

"ah, you're the new champion my son has spoken of" my father said "I am King Jarvan Lights.h.i.+eld III".

Grey bowed slightly "it's an honor to meet you your majesty" he greeted. The woman besides him just looked away bored until Grey nudged her and she bowed too.

"now, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I just finished my mission, and wanted to go to the transport station" Grey replied "the closest ones were either here, or in Noxus, and since my friend didn't want to go there we came here".

"makes sense" Shyvana said.

I nodded "yes, I a.s.sume she's the person you were sent to bring?".

"yes" Grey nodded and motioned to the woman "her name is Nidalee".

"well then" I looked at my father "father, can you excuse me for a few moments to help my friend to the transport station. Going with him will a.s.sure that another... Misunderstanding doesn't happen".

My father stroked his short beard "very well, I can't really have him going around beating up my guards now can I?".

"I apologize for that" Grey said bowing slightly.

My father waved his hand "at least it's settled out".

"alright, follow me" I said while Grey nodded. Me and Shyvana then start leading them to the transport station.

While walking through the hallway, we saw unconscious guards on the floor... Lots of of unconscious guards... These are royal guards, how strong is he to almost break into my family's castle?

"you really went all out, didn't you?" Shyvana asked.

"sorry" Grey apologized.

"how did you do that anyway?" I asked wanting to know how he easily broke in.

"I've done worst" Grey replied with a shrug "I once broke into a castle guarded by fat, golden armored, axe throwing angels" he then started mumbling "I really hate those things".

"you did what?" me, Shyvana and Nidalee asked.

Grey waved his hand "just go with it".

We let it go at that, and after a couple of minutes, we reached the transport station.

The summoner there stood up after seeing us "ah, prince Jarvan. Are you going back to the Inst.i.tute?".

"no, not me at least" I said shaking my head.

"I'll be the one going" Grey said stepping forward and motioning to Nidalee "and she'll be coming with me".

"ah, the Abyss Watcher" the summoner said using Grey's t.i.tle "is she a guest?".

Grey shook his head "no, but the High Summoners want to see her".

"that's all I needed to hear" the summoner motioned to the rune circle "stand in the circle please".

Grey and Nidalee nodded and they both stood inside the circle. The summoner waved his hands and in a flash of light they both vanished.

Me and Shyvana started walking back towards my father. While walking, I decided to start a conversation.

"she looked like a good warrior" I said referring to Nidalee.

"yes" Shyvana nodded "but Ahri won't be happy".

I sighed "true, I just wish Grey makes it out alive... Or undead, I never know with him".

Third POV:

In the dining hall of the Inst.i.tute, Ahri was sitting with Aki, Annie, Ezreal and Lux.

Ezreal and Lux were talking together. Annie was playing with Tibbers. Aki however was trying to cheer Ahri up.

The dark haired Vastayan had her head on the table with her arms crossed over it.

"come on Ahri" Aki said "cheer up".

Ahri grumbled "is he back yet?".

"no" Aki said knowing Ahri meant Grey.

Ahri sighed, a male summoner then walked up to her moving past Aki "h.e.l.lo beautiful" he said leaning besides Ahri "how about we get together for some-".

"I'm waiting for someone!" Ahri roared glaring at the summoner who jumped. She pointed her finger at the exit "beat it!".

The summoner raised his hands, slowly backed away, turned around and sprinting away.

Ahri put her head back on the table "I swear if I see one more fanboy... " this was one of the reasons she hated Grey being away. Without him around, men would try to hit on her.

Ezreal and Lux turned their attention to Ahri when they heard her yell, while Annie still didn't pay attention.

"come on, I bet he'll be back soon" the Explorer said.

Ahri raised her head with a worried look "but what if something bad happened to him? What if he got hurt? Or kidnapped? Or-".

"calm down" Lux said waving her hands "it's not necessarily something bad that's keeping him, maybe he's just stuck in traffic? Or helping someone? Or bringing down a kitten from a tree? Or... Or" she leand towards Ezreal and started whispering "help me out Ez".

Ezreal had a shocked look when he spoke "or he could be with a hot half-naked chick".

Ahri glared at him "you're not helping Ezreal".

The Explorer just raised his hand and pointed at the entrance. The others looked and their eyes widen with Ahri's also twitching.

Grey just entered the dining hall and besides him was a Dark skinned woman that fits Ezreal's description.

The Abyss Watcher didn't seem to notice them as he walked through the dining hall and continued towards the High Summoners.

Ahri's shocked expression turned into one of anger and the others started worrying when a few of her tails started rattling.

"uhmm... Ahri? Are you OK?" Aki asked.

"I'm fine" Ahri replied through her gritted teeth.

"well the table isn't" Lux said which made Ahri confused.

The Dark haired Vastayan looked down and saw that she's been using her nails to claw into the table. She just pulled back her hand but her expression didn't change.

Grey meanwhile reached the High Summoners and entered with Nidalee. Once inside, the High Summoners turned their attention to them.

"welcome back, Abyss Watcher" the Demacian Summoner greeted "I a.s.sume your mission is a success?".

"yes" Grey nodded and then motioned to Nidalee "this is Nidalee, I believe she's the one worthy to be a champion".

The huntress moved forward and stood in front of the leaders of the Inst.i.tute "Greetings, I a.s.sume you were informed of why you're here?" the Ionian Summoner asked.

"yes" Nidalee nodded.

"so are you interested in joining?" the Piltoven Summoner asked.

"I am" Nidalee replied and then pointed at them "however, I want you to ensure me that the k.u.mungu jungle will no longer be invaded by any region".

The High Summoners started talking amongst themselves, but all fell silent when the Grand Summoner raised his hand.

The Grand Summoner started stroking his beard before answering "very well, no lands from the k.u.mungu jungle will be invaded. However, if a region wins in an official match against it, we'll have to give them what they earned".

Nidalee thought about it, as long as she makes sure to win matches, the jungle will be safe, and it's better than someone just going to the jungle and try to take it by force.

The Huntress looked back up "alright, I agree".

"very well, your judgment will have to wait for a while, we are busy at the moment, you can stay in the Inst.i.tute until then" the Demacian Summoner said.

Nidalee nods. Both her and Grey then turn around and left the High Summoners.

When outside, Grey saw a familiar golden armor "h.e.l.lo Kayle".

"h.e.l.lo Grey, welcome back" the angel greeted back "was your mission a success?".

Grey nodded "yes, and have you seen my friends? I would like to see them".

Kayle pointed behind her "I just saw them in the dining hall".

"thank you" Grey said and Kayle nodded. He started walking towards the dining hall with Nidalee.

"so tell me about those friends of yours" Nidalee asked.

"you're going to like them, trust me" Grey replied as they entered the dining hall.

Grey spotted his friends and started walking towards them, and they looked towards him and Nidalee.

"hi Grey, welcome back" Ahri greeted with hiding her enthusiasm and her past anger.

"hi Ahri, it's great to see you again, have you been doing well?" the Abyss Watcher said.

"yeah" Ahri replied and then looked at Nidalee "so who's your friend?".

"this is Nidalee" Grey motioned to the huntress.

"h.e.l.lo" Nidalee waved her hand "nice to meet you".

Ahri waved back "yeah, sure".

Grey and Nidalee sat down with them, but then Lux and Ezreal noticed two different things.

"hey Grey, why do you have that mace?" the Explorer asked.

"it's a souvenir, boy do I have a story for you guys" Grey replied.

"OK but what's that moving in your shoulder?" the light mage asked as she noticed something moving under Grey's cape.

"oh right" Grey reached into his cape and pulled out something. The others, even Annie, leaned to see him set a ball of fur on the table "it's okay, they're friends".

The others saw a pair of ears pop out of the fur ball, Silver then spread himself and looked at everyone in a wondrous expression.

"aw, aren't you a cute-" Ezreal was cut off when Ahri, Aki, Annie and Lux made a girly yell and moved around Silver, Lux even ended up pus.h.i.+ng Grey out of his seat.

"oh my G.o.d! He's adorable" Lux said.

"where did you find him?" Aki asked.

"are you going to keep him?" Ahri asked.

"what's his name?" Annie asked.

Ezreal rubbed his ears from the screaming while Nidalee helped Grey standing up.

"thanks" Grey thanked Nidalee and turned to the other girls "I found him in the jungle, and yes I'll keep him, his name is Silver".

"if he gets any cuter I think I'll faint" Lux said with glee.

Silver started scratching his nose with his paws, he then made a little sneeze and shook his head. The girls awed... And Lux actually fainted.

Nidalee and Grey looked at her in shock while Ezreal sighed and picked her up putting her arm over his shoulder.

"is she going to be okay?" Grey asked.

"yeah" the Explorer said and shook his head "the worst part, is that this isn't the first time this happened. I'll take her to Garen, he'll know what to do" he started walking away but stopped and looked at Grey "also, I want to hear that story you mentioned".

"sure thing" Grey nodded and Ezreal took Lux to her brother.

Grey and Nidalee sat down together and just watched as the girls played with Silver.

Not long after that, and Kayle showed up "h.e.l.lo, I'm here to take Nidalee to her judgment".

"very well" the huntress stood up and started following Kayle to the High Summoners.

Grey then stood up "Annie, can you take care of Silver for a while?" he asked and the little girl nodded.

"where are you going?" Ahri asked.

"I'm going to wait for Nidalee to finish her judgement" he replied.

Ahri frowned "why? She doesn't need you there".

"true, but I still want to be there for her when she gets out" Grey replied "would you have liked it if I wasn't there for you?".

"well... No" Ahri sighed.

"then I'll be going" Grey said before he left.

When he was gone, Aki remembered something "oh right! Ahri, weren't you going to show Grey your skin?".

Ahri's face showed shock "oh come on!" she whined and planted her head on the table "I completely forgot".

Meanwhile, Nidalee just entered the High Summoners chamber and Grey stood besides the gates waiting.

After a while, Nidalee came out with a few tears in her eyes, but she was trying to stay strong.

Grey walked up to the huntress and put a hand on her shoulder "how did it go?".

"it went well I guess" she replied as she wiped her eyes and smiled "my t.i.tle is the b.e.a.s.t.i.a.l Huntress now".

"I'm glad to hear that" Grey said as he turned towards the direction of the dining hall "well, let's go then".

Nidalee started following the Abyss Watcher "hey Grey, where will I be staying?".

"they have rooms for champions" Grey replied as they walked through the hallway "I'm staying with Ahri".

"you stay with her in the same room?" Nidalee asked.

"it's a little payback" Grey replied "I owe her something".

Nidalee smiled "really?".

Grey didn't see a reason to smile, but he just shrugged it off. They reached the dining hall and went to the others.

Meanwhile, Ahri was whispering to Aki "so I just think about it, and it'll happen?".

The summoner nodded "yeah, the spell I gave you should help" she whispered back, then she noticed Grey and Nidalee walking towards them "oh hi, so did you pa.s.s?".

"yes" the huntress nodded.

"good for you" Ahri said "anyway, Grey, I have something to show you" she then looked at Nidalee "in 'our' room".

Nidalee heard the way Ahri said Our room. The Vastayan was basically telling her to beat it.

"really?" Grey raised an eyebrow "but Nidalee needs ".

"no, it's alright" Nidalee waved it off "I got something to do anyway, so don't worry about it".

"are you sure?" Grey asked.

"positive" Nidalee replied "so go on, I'll see you later".

"alright" Grey nodded and looked at Silver "come on boy".

Silver turns his attention to Grey. The pup jumps to Grey's arms and climbed to his shoulder.

Ahri got up and left with Grey, but she still looked back at Nidalee 'maybe I misjudged her?' she thought.

When they were gone, the Huntress looked at Aki "you're a summoner right?".

"huh? Oh yeah, do you need something?" Aki asked shyly.

"yes" Nidalee nodded "I wanted to know who arranges the rooms".

Meanwhile, Grey and Ahri just entered their room. Silver jumped down from Grey's shoulder and started walking around.

"so what did you want to show me?" the Abyss Watcher asked.

"well, this" Ahri replied as she was covered in light and then appeared in her skin.

Grey looked stunned "what just happened?".

"this is my skin, skins are something champions wear in battle like different clothes" Ahri explained "I got mine yesterday, and wanted to see what you think about it".

Grey looked at her "it... Looks good, it really suits you".

"thanks" Ahri replied with a slight blush 'alright, he already likes it so just ask him out. He already owes me time together so he can't say no' she told herself and took a deep breath "Grey, do you want to go on a d".

She was interrupted by their door being knocked as they both looked at it. Ahri was frustrated that her moment was ruined.

She marched towards the door and opened it. To her surprise, it was Nidalee.

"nice to see you again" The Huntress said waving her hand.

"uhmm... Yeah" Ahri replied confused "what are you doing here?".

"I'll be staying here from now on, so this is my room as well" Nidalee replied.

"what!?" Ahri asked.

Nidalee pointed at the door and Ahri saw another name plate other than hers and Grey's, it said 'b.e.a.s.t.i.a.l Huntress'.

"this can't be, you don't even have a room" Ahri said in hope that she would leave.

To her disappointment, Nidalee pointed inside their room. Both Ahri and Grey's eyes widen seeing a door that wasn't there before on the wall opposite of their bedroom.

"how?" Ahri asked surprised.

Nidalee shrugged "I don't know, the summoners said something about magical amplification, but I wasn't paying attention" she then smiled "now I would like to get in please".

"well you can't stay here" Ahri said.

"and why?" the huntress asked.

"because... Because..." Ahri tried to think of something so she turned to the Abyss Watcher "Grey tell her she can't stay here".

"I-".

"he can't" Nidalee cut him off "you see, he owes me".

"owes you what?" the Vastayan asked.

"for scaring me half-dead by jumping over a cliff with a broken arm" Nidalee said.

Ahri immediately glared at Grey "you did WHAT!?!" she was angered that he did such a risky thing.

"I-"

"well you still can't stay here" Ahri said looking at the huntress.

Nidalee kept her cool "yes I can, if I can't, that means he doesn't has to stay with you since he's doing it out of a debt".

Ahri was speechless. She didn't just have her moment ruined but she also couldn't kick Nidalee out because she was right.

Nidalee walked inside past Ahri and grabbed Grey's arm "well since you seem frustrated, why don't you spend the night alone to calm down" she said.

Ahri then grabbed Grey's other arm "that's not necessary, it's your first night here, you should have it all to yourself".

The two started glaring at each other, but then Grey pulled his arms away "or I could sleep on the couch and you two in your own rooms" he said "that way, everyone sleeps on their own".

Ahri and Nidalee glared at each other. They weren't winning, but they weren't losing either.

"fine!" they growled before they both went to their rooms and slammed the door.

Grey sat down on the couch. He removed his hat, sat it on the table and ran a hand through his white hair.

Silver then jumped on the table and looked at Grey smiling. The Abyss Watcher rolled his eyes "of course you're happy, you're not the one who has to sleep on the couch because he stopped two women from killing each other".

The Abyss Watcher started petting Silver who enjoyed the gentle touch... But neither of them noticed the figure that appeared above Grey.

The figure was big. It was wearing an armor of human skeletons, had weird substance on it's back and it's right arm was replaced by a brutal looking blade.

The figure stayed in it's place, looked down at Grey, and then... Vanished.
