Their Journey

Chapter 7 - Welcome To Demacia

What is this feeling?

It was dawn when Ezreal felt the wind, blowing to his whole body. He felt cold at first, but after a few seconds, the wind was starting to get refreshing. He still wants to sleep more because of it, but he can't. He still has some problems to solve as soon as possible before he's too late. He opened his eyes and got up from the ground and saw Kai'Sa sleeping. He smiled at her and grabbed some of his stuff to prepare for their next adventure. While he was packing, he heard Kai'Sa yawned and turned around to see his partner.

"Good morning," Ezreal greeted Kai'Sa with his charming smile. "Did you sleep well?"

"Good morning, Ezreal," Kai'Sa replied. "Yes, I did. How about you?"

"Same!"

They were both lying.

Kai'Sa had a nightmare last night about Shurima once again. She can't stop worrying about her home. She thought it was a really bad idea for leaving, but on the other hand, she hopes that Shurima will be alright without her. Sometimes, she also thought that when she will be coming back. Well, there is one answer to that. If she and Ezreal will retrieve his journal quickly, then she will come back home immediately. She doesn't want Shurima to fall just like her village, her previous beautiful home. She will not let that mistake happen ever again.

Ezreal, on the other hand, never dreamed about a nightmare ever since, but last night it suddenly happened. The disappearance of his parents. After his 10th birthday, his parents are going to work again and they will come back home in Piltover after 1 week as usual. Ezreal waited for them like he used to and when 1 week has already passed, his parents did not return home. He was confused and so was his uncle, Professor Lymere. Maybe they just have a lot of work to do and they couldn't finish it in time. That's what little Ezreal thought. He kept waiting and waiting for days, for weeks, for months and then for years - nothing. His parents never really came home, but he didn't lose hope. He hoped that his parents will still come back until now.

"Let's go, shall we?" Ezreal looked at Kai'Sa and smiled.

"We shall." Kai'Sa smiled back and nodded at him. She wore the coat that Henry gave her a few days ago and Ezreal burst out of laughter when he saw Kai'Sa's wings hiding beneath the coat weirdly.

"What's so funny?" Kai'Sa knows what Ezreal was laughing about and it made her annoyed. "Care to explain?"

"Your wings," Ezreal can't stop laughing and it made Kai'Sa annoyed even more. "It's- well..."

"Yes, I can see that."

"Hey, we'll fix that. Don't worry," Ezreal chuckled. "If you will lend me your coat though."

Kai'Sa raised her eyebrow and she knew what he was up to. She gave him her coat and Ezreal grabbed a pocket knife from his backpack. He cut out some big holes at the back and gave it back to Kai'Sa. "Here, now try it on."

Kai'Sa rolled her eyes and wore the coat. She put her wings straight inside the holes and it somehow fits perfectly. "Hm, you're a natural."

"I'm glad you noticed," Ezreal smirked with pride. "You're welcome!"

Kai'Sa can't help, but chuckle and gave him a smile. "Thank you..."

Ezreal smiled back at her, but he knew something was up. He noticed that Kai'Sa was a bit worried and anxious about something. He can't help, but ask. "Uhm, hey... are you okay?"

Kai'Sa was surprised. "What do you mean?"

"You don't seem like yourself..."

Kai'Sa doesn't know what to say, she was stunned to speak. She thought that Ezreal wasn't going to notice her because she thought he's a clueless man. Well she figured he wasn't. Am I that obvious?
