Hiya, peeps! I'm back! College has really been sucking my time up, and I just finished my midterms. Now, I haven't abandoned this story, just so you know. I really want to get to the point where the Infinity Stones will start to make things more hectic, as it would be interesting. So, thank you for waiting the entire month, and I will give you this chapter to move this story forward. Enjoy!

BACK IN PILTOVER...

Ezreal was informed that the meteors that had known locations were actually in close proximity, and would save him a lengthy trip back to the Freljord. The regions of Ixtal and Shurima were to be his next targets, as there were reports of landfall. He picked Ixtal first, as it was just off Piltover's coast, but he'd need a way to bypass Zaun. For that, he decided to take a detour. He went to the harbor and tried to find a ship that kept a low profile to avoid being followed, as he had a feeling that things might get difficult.

DEMACIA

HARBOR
DEMACIA CITY

The Avengers were searching for any information that could lead them to the other Infinity Stones. Travelers and merchants from allying kingdoms that had come to trade with Demacia brought some chunks of information. So far, they got a few chunks, since travel wasn't exactly speedy in global terms. They went into a tavern to further discuss their situation.

5 Hours Later...

"*sigh* So, here's what we got: Fallen stars and meteors. The people here really don't know yet what those are, thankfully. But, from what I'm observing, they're getting a little bit excited. In that case, let's try to pinpoint the locations based on what we have gathered." Natasha said

"Let's see... um, Eric, what were the kinds of people we met again?" Clint asked

"Freljordian, Piltoverian and Ionian. Here's a map for you." Eric said

"Thanks. So, Freljord seems to be north of here. Piltover is east, right below Noxus. Didn't you say that Noxus was hostile to Demacia?" he asked

"That is correct. Ionia is to the far east, and would take months. Sure, the Freljord is north of Demacia, but the weather might be too much. The freezing winds and biting frost will require some warm clothing and most of all, the will to persevere. Not just that, there are hostile tribes over there."

"Mind telling me those? I'm rather curious." Thor asked

"There are three major tribes that constantly fight each other. There is the Winter's Claw tribe, led by a fierce warmother named Sejuani. The Frostguard is led by the ice witch Lissandra. And finally, the Avarosa led by the warmother Ashe. If I were you, I'd rather take chances with the Avarosa. Ashe is rather accepting of diplomacy. Sejuani and Lissandra? Nuh-uh." Eric elaborated

"What is it about the Freljord that caught your interest, Thor?" Scott wondered

"Oh well, it just reminded me of Jotunheim, based on all of Eric's descriptions here. Minus the three tribes thing." he answered

"Based on some people from there we just met at the harbor, they saw a bright falling star. The question is, what stone would that be. Like, what would be the telltale signs? The Power Stone made purple cracks in the ground. I don't know what the others would make. So, where do we head to then?" Bruce stated

"I say we take the closest one before we embark on the others. After all, it'd be a waste if we didn't get to explore that option. Sure, the dangers as Capt. Eric here described would be a discouraging factor, but the distance is a nice tradeoff in my opinion. Who knows? Might be worth it." Tony spoke up
