My name is y/n l/n, and I'm from the Undercity. You know, it's not so bad down here. It's basically Piltover, but with gangs, drugs, and theft. The Undercity is my home, and even though I've found a loving, dysfunctional family unit, my life wasn't always like this. When I first met Vi, Powder, Mylo, Ekko, and Vander is when my life changed for the better. Until it changed for the worst.

My little brother Claggor and I ran out of our childhood home frantic, crying out for our parents. We had woken up to loud gunshots and war cries on the bridge. Our house was located directly under the bridge so we heard everything. Every scream of pain. Every cry of terror. Every shout for mercy. Claggor and I ran towards the top of the bridge with purpose because we had a feeling our parents were fighting there also.

By the time we got there, all we found were piles of cold, dead corpses. Our neighbors, friends, and parents were gone. All dead. I broke down into tears, holding onto my brother with all the strength I had. He was always the stronger one. He always comforted me even though I was a year older than him. We made a promise to each other on that bridge to never leave each other behind no matter what.

After promising my brother this, I look up curiously to find a huge man towering over us carrying two little girls our age in each arm. I had guessed their parents had also died due to the fact that they were crying. The big man nodded his head forward motioning us to follow him. My brother and I straggled behind him hand in hand.

I was still choking on my tears because I was grieving the loss of my parents. However, as we walked off the bridge my grief turned to anger. Hatred. That moment I made a promise to myself to not let anyone else hurt my family. Even if it kills me.
