The Sinister Blade: Snowdown

(2/3)

"What are we doing here? And so early?"

Powder asked as she followed Vi's example to climb up the building. Guiding them was you, with a massive smile on your face. The sun had barely risen, yet you were as active as ever, if not more

Vi: Yeah, this better be worth it, Y/N

With that same cheerful attitude, you looked down and smiled at them, a gesture so warm and bright it immediately stood out amidst the darkness of the morning

You: Trust me, it is

The sisters exchanged confused looks before they continued to climb. Sure, they knew you were a happy child, but they had never seen you this excited about anything

You made it to the top first and inhaled the cold air with a smile, letting out a satisfied sigh

You: Here we are

Then, you turned to lend Vi a hand, and together, you pulled the younger sister up as well

Vi: So what did you want us to...see...

Vi's scowl immediately softened as Powder gasped at the scene before them. It was Piltover, yes, but it looked so...different

Snow fell so delicately on the city of progress, adding some much-needed vibrancy and life to this place. The industrial golds and silvers now added a cozy white to the colors

Their reaction only made your smile grow stronger

You: Right? It's like it's another place entirely

The place itself looked the same, save for the banners of the different family clans decorating the streets, but the breeze, there was just something about it that nearly made them forget how full of conflict this place was

A foreign feeling of peace reigned in Vi, and she closed her eyes to bask in it

Powder lifted her hand and managed to catch a snowflake, and gasped when she actually did

Powder: Vi, look!

The girl showed her sister with that child-like enthusiasm, which made her sister rub her head

Vi: Nicely done, Pow-Pow!

Then, she turned to you

Vi: Okay, you were right. This is worth it

The three of you sat together on the edge of the building, watching the sunrise on the city just as the snow continued to fall so gently. Vi and you leaned towards Powder, holding her while you admired the view

There was no doubt, the time of Snowdown was near

____________

A throwing knife followed your foot, barely missing its mark. You leaped over a rock and ducked under another knife, quickly picking up the pace before the next one was thrown

The woman behind this couldn't help but smile at the progress, watching you run through the course she set up, but of course, she wouldn't give up so easily, so she teleported to close the gap in the blink of an eye and threw more daggers from the trees

Leaves changed color, fell, and were replaced by snow during your stay in Noxus

Katarina was true to her word and kept training you in the best ways she knew how: She kept throwing you into that fighting ring or challenging you to a sparring session with swords, sometimes one following the other

And some other times, she got a bit more...creative

She witnessed as you kicked up a piece of wood and used it to intercept the daggers, before teleporting to the other side of the forest and throwing more projectiles from the other side
