3rd Person Pov

Zaun, the sister city and rival to Piltover, was a more dark and gloomy area to those that lived their but some areas are more grimy than others. Adonis' father Daimen would often go down to these areas to host some of his self defence classes for the more passive members of Zaun's citizenship so that they could survive.

Currently Daimen was walking away from a group of thugs he had just knocked out due to them trying to rob him. Thinking to it he shook his head in disappointment as he made his way home before sensing an ominous presence and looked to his side to see a mysterious figure walking by him before they stopped and turned towards the man.

???: "Excuse me, would you happen to know where the Sump is located?"

Daimen blinked a few times before realising the mystery person was addressing him before turning towards them. He gave some rough direction to the figure who had thanked him then made there way, Daimen doing the same until just when he reached his home and thought out loud.

Daimen: "Isn't that where his followers hang out?"

The door then opens showing Umala with a smile on her face seeing her husband back safe.

Umala: "Welcome home, my love."

Daimen: "Ah, yeah I'm home."

They shared a small kiss before heading into the house.

Timeskip

The mysterious figure stopped walking for a moment to see a rundown and abandoned factory with two punks with gas masks on their faces by the entrance talking to each other. The cloaked individual walks up to them catching their attention.

Punk 1: "Fuck you doin' here?!"

The second one stepping to the figure not being able to see their face as the darkness of the hood perfectly covered it.

Punk 2: "Don't you know this is Dreadnought Territory?!"

???: "I do, I wish to meet your current leader."

The two looked over to each other before laughing at the person.

Punk 2: "Why the fuck should we do that?"

Punk 1: "Right? Who do you think you are asking to see?"

The thug poked the figure in the chest with his finger before a pair of purple glowing eyes pierced though the darkness of the hoodie. Not even a moment later the punk's upper body no longer existed as it was blown clean off leaving only his legs.

Punk 2: "What the hell!!"

???: "Shut up."

The second punk got the same treatment as his friend being left as nothing but a pair of legs that then fell over. The figure's cloak was now bloody but they had no care to it and made their way in the warehouse.

???: "How could I have expected these savages to listen to words."

And so for the next ten minutes only the sounds of screams was heard from the building. In another room the acting leader of the dreadnoughts and his subordinates heard the slaughter happening.

Chief: "What the fuck is happening out there?"

Heading out to see that most of the grunts were either dead or turned paraplegic. The mystery person standing in the middle of this carnage.

Underling: "Who the hell?"

They began reaching for their weapons with the cloaked individual turning to them but the Chief stops them.

Chief: "Stop you idiots! We don't stand a chance obviously."

???: "Someone with a brain, I assume you're in charge."

Chief: "I'm the acting Chief of the Dreadnoughts. The hell you doing attacking us?"

???: "I've come to bargain, your subordinates refused to listen so I made an example of them."

Chief: "An example?"

???: "A little motivation for you to make the right choice."

Underling: "Fuck that, who the hell do you think you are attacking us and tryna boss us around?!"

???: "I offer you the chance to get your leader back."

The building was then silent for a moment.

Chief: "What?"

???: "My benefactor is willing to help you all break the Great Urgot out of his prison."

The thugs didn't seem to believe the figure to begin with. Seeing there reactions the person brought out a large wooden crate in front of them.

???: "She's also willing to supply your group with weapons and such. Along with blueprints of his holding cell."

The two underlings opened the crate to see a bunch of high grade tech. Inspecting it and confirming that they were the real deal, nodding to the Chief.

Chief: "...What's the catch?"

???: "No catch, just my benefactor is bored of how docile Zaun has been towards Piltover. She wishes for some... excitement."

An eerie smile came from beneath the hood as Urgot's followers began to check out the goods.

With Adonis

Adonis was working on some alchemy in Qiyana's yard while said woman was doing her eyeliner looking in a hand mirror. Despite it being past midday, the newly formed couple had only decided to get up and outside 15 minutes ago.

Initially they had woken up at 9am like a regular individual but they (specifically Qiyana) had decided to fornicate a bunch more before they decided to get on with their days. So Adonis was focusing on his alchemy before he turned as he felt a shiver go down his spine.

Adonis: "What the?"

Qiyana: "Something wrong, love?"

The half yordle looked to her with a smile.

Adonis: "No it's nothing."

She turned back to look at her hand mirror and Adonis looked back once more feeling a sense of dread that would soon come.

Adonis: 'At least I hope it's nothing...'
