League of Legends: Survival. Book 1

The Void Resurgent

I know this sounds REALLY crazy, but I think after the next few days, I finally started to see Summoner's village as sort of a home. Nobody looked at me like Rek'Sai the Voidborn anymore.. instead, I was Miyoko the person.

Though, I admit, I was a little scared at first.. my slavery had definitely changed me. For one thing, I think I was a little more fragile then I used to be. Normally I would've punched a guy in the nose if they made any reference to my bra size being.. erm.. small.. 

But when Ronald made a joke about it once at the bar, I just sort of passed it by, and everybody became surprised, some people calling me absolutely mellow.

And at one point, when it was me and Steph's turn to clean the horse stables. (Yes everyone, we breed horses).  When Akemi said we missed a spot, I half expected a beating, and then Akemi had to ask me why I was cowering.

It was embarrassing that somebody like me, who was a rebel all her life, had been reduced to this. But, rebel Miyoko had never had as many friends as reduced rebel Miyoko.. so.. maybe I was just trading one thing for something a little better.

Steph and I had also become REALLY close. I mean, it's like we were never separated. It was more apparent that Steph had always been more of the big sister then I was, which I found funny, cause I was way more athletic then her. Maybe she's mentally more mature then me? I don't know.

Our resident normal skin Rengar, an irish boy named Derrick who lived in North Carolina, and loved to go hunting with his uncle before he became a summoner, seemed to be developing a romance with Selk in the meantime.. and was Janice making friends? Well.. the other girls all liked her, she had a nice personality, and was kind overall.. even though she had what Akemi called 'Jinx Tendencies' from time to time. However, as for whether she found any romance like Selk and Derrick... I don't know.. 

I couldn't attest to whether I knew any of the girls in Summoner's Village were the same as Janice.. and if it were me, it would be tough to ask and find somebody like that..  I mean, you don't just randomly go up to a girl.. and ask her.. "Hey! Are you gay?" 

Now that's just rude.

But there were some weird moments.. in which I thought Janice was.. well.. in love with me.. which is silly when I think on it.

For example.. since Selk and Janice were my supposed royal attendants now, they were required to accompany everywhere.. even serve me like maids (Which feels very weird when you're the one used to being the slave.)

Every time that I went and did something like hug Akemi, or joke around with some of the other girls in the village, Janice would give those girls a look that almost seemed.. well.. jealous.. 

Maybe I was overreacting. Perhaps Janice just thought of me as a very dear friend and was overprotective.

My scouting missions were now more of a short term thing.

Thanks to our better relations with the Avaronian Kingdom, we didn't need to go out as long to find supplies, so it greatly reduced our high workload. 

I would burrow out as Rek'Sai, with Akemi, Warwick, and Shaco, and we'd come back in about 2 days with a large supply of fish, roots, fruit, seeds to grow in our farms, and an assortment of bugs to breed for materials.

It kind of felt like I was in the famous Capcom game Monster Hunter. (By the way, recently heard about Monster Hunter X and Story!! Totally pumped, once a gamer, always a gamer.)

In any case.. I felt like the troubles were finally over for me.. unless you count an impending marriage and probable assassins out for my throat.

I was very.. VERY wrong.. in case you haven't noticed, it's like Mikoto said in the previous chapter. Unless we're near chapter 20.. we're nowhere NEAR done with this book..  In fact.. we're only about 60 percent done..
