Lyra was raised in a place known as the first land or Ionia. There she lived a peaceful life with her family, until one day everything changed.
Now looking for a new life and sense of belonging she faces many different paths and difficulties, all w...
Noxus is a brutal, expansionist empire, yet those who look beyond it's warlike exterior will find an unusually inclusive society. Anyone can rise to a position of power and respect if they display the necessary aptitude, regardless of social standing, background, or wealth. Which makes this empire so different to Demacia where your birth right and wealth means everything. Noxians value strength above all, though that strength can manifest in many different ways.
Noxus has powerful leaders and houses representing it. The three deadliest blademasters in all of Valoran are bound to the house of Du Couteau which is the house of General Du Couteau a feared man. The General has two daughters, Katarina and Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia has long left the house and hasn't been seen in years and Katarina still rules under her father and is known as one of the three deadliest blademasters.
The third blademaster is Talon, he was adopted by the General when he was about twelve years old. Talon has a good relationship with both Katarina and the General and they treat him like their own family.

Talon's POV
"I'm really not looking forward to this gathering, the last thing we need is everyone being on edge about another upcoming war" I said to Katarina while we were both leaning on a wall waiting for the emperor to address us. She removes her long red hair from her face and tucks it behind her ear before answering. "I agree, I'm already not looking forward to my upcoming mission that dad is sending me on".
"I'm still upset that he refused to send me with you, but I understand that both of us can't be away from home at a time like this" I said with a sigh.
"Yes he will need you here and I'll be fine you know that" She teases while knocking me with her elbow playfully.
We both became silent when we heard the emperor start to speak, he didn't give us much information about any upcoming wars and for that part I was grateful, I can become just as blood thirty as the next guy but now is not the time there are too many things to address to in the city.
After the gathering me and Kata made our way back home , we lived in a luxurious war famous home in the popular part of the city and it was quite a way to walk especially up the stairs leading to the big open front section of the house. As we reach the house I was met by a familiar disappointed face. Gwen a women I've been seeing for a occasional fuck, is standing clearly waiting for me with her hands on her hips and she's not looking very pleased.
"Right! you kids have fun" Kata said while laughing and skipping up the stairs, she knows my reputation with women and prefer not to get involved, but Ohh does she enjoy making fun of me afterwards.
I roll my eyes in annoyance and try to walk past Gwen up the stairs but she grabs my arm and says "So now you're just going to ignore me and walk away?. Do you think I don't know what you did?"
Ohh shit she finally found out that I've been with her sister as well , it's hilarious that it took her this long.
" Yes Gwen I'm trying to just ignore you , it's funny that it took you so long to figure it out" I say humorously, I can't even help smirking at her foolish attempt to have this conversation. I watch as tears start showing in her eyes, I almost felt bad, but before she could say anything I pull my arm from her grip and gave another step towards the house.
" You know what Talon, I hope that you meet someone one day and that she means everything to you and after the first night you'll know she's the one and that you spend your last bit of gold to put a rock on her hand and then I hope she betrays you just like you betrayed me." She says harshly while wiping a tear off her cheek with the back of her hand.
I turn around and narrow my eyes before stepping quickly towards her, I grip my one hand around her throat and brought my face to her's and said "I live by the blade and one day I will die by the blade, nothing will ever mean more to me than that." She start to grasp for air, I let her go and turn back around and start walking up the stairs, now more quickly not to be interrupted again.
Still catching her breath she says softly after me "You're oath to your father will be the death of your happiness" Her voice was barely audible, this women just doesn't give up, but I'm not going to entertain this any longer and I continued to walk on. As I walk inside I found my father and Katarina sitting by the table eating dinner, my father gestures for me to sit, I sit down and join them for dinner, after a few moments I say "Women are so annoying" everyone starts to laugh and Kata flicks a piece of food in my direction, I pick up a small tomato but before I could throw it at Kata my father gave me a glare.
"Is it too much for you two to behave like adults?" Father says while clearly still trying to hide a small smile. "Sorry father" Kata answers while batting her eyelashes at him.
It's strange to think that three dangerous blademasters can sit around a table and be a somewhat a normal family.
