Luckily, the week has been a lil chill so far. So, I'm sending out this chapter while I got the time. Goddamn, midterms are coming soon... Anyhoo, this chapter will serve as a "rain check" of sorts, for those who wonder what's been going on. Enjoy!

IONIA
Zhyun Island

Irelia still resented Karma a bit, though not as immensely as before, despite the fact that she broke her ethos of peace during the Noxian invasion, as she considered it still too late for the Enlightened One to make her move, even though she earned praise from Ionian society for taking action. But for this situation, they had to take action. They immediately took boats to Zhyun, where it was heavily reported a meteor crashed. Personal conflicts would be unwise in this current situation.The port there was lively with said news. When they arrived, they were greeted per their reputation and societal standing. On the way, they asked for more information where the meteor might have landed.

An hour later, they got their closest estimate: near the Swirl Rocks to the north of the island. They immediately asked for a transport, which was a Worak, a goat-like buffalo creature well suited to the mountainous terrain awaiting for them. They then planned their provisions with the aid of a guide. On the way, Karma and Irelia further conversed on the vision they just experienced back in Ionia City.

"I have never witnessed such a vivid and horrible vision.." Irelia commented

"I say the same. To honor my word on honesty, I will tell you the full details on my experience. I was only in my usual routine of meditation, when I felt a tremendous force disrupt the harmonious balance of all energies flowing through Runeterra. When I ventured to Hirana Monastery in Ralin, I decided to enter the spirit realm consciously, as I felt that only the spirits could have the answers on what caused such a powerful surge." Karma answered

"As I said, I too felt it, but I suppose not as great as yours.."

"The spirits showed me six stones of varying colors. Just as you saw, they seem to represent a certain meaning we have yet to uncover. A gauntlet that seemed to contain all six gems, being wielded by one giant figure I have yet to know, with one snap of the fingers, sending this universe to oblivion.."

"If the visions are true, then such power is incredibly immense, even for the famed Aurelion Sol. Yet, it seemed the spirits showed us another fragment of their sights."

"Yes, the ten strangers that we have no knowledge of. I wonder what is the significance of such a band of strangers. It showed a golden crest bearing the eagle, with it shattering apart. The same color on one of those stones appeared to destroy the crest." the enlightened one thought

"What does Demacia's crest breaking is supposed to mean?"

"If I suspected earlier, the purple stone must be in its possession. If it is, then I can only assume what could happen. From the vision, the best assumption is that the green stone will be the one we will find."

"Karma, what do you really feel about all this? You're holding back."

"I feel that we are taking part of a grander plan that we have not fully realized yet, not one small bit. The stones and the strangers, I reckon, have a connection, as both do not belong to this world. The apocalyptic portion that we both have seen may only be a grim warning. I have yet to seek more information on these strange figures. If anything, they may be key to solving this problem."
