Kayn's Prodigy: A League of Legends Fan Fiction

Chapter 25

Rhaast was forged in fire and chaos. He was made for horror, designed to destroy hope, and destined to be alone for all eternity; Stuck inside that damned weapon. Confined and punished by his creator for being impossible to wield. There was never any intention of giving Rhaast to anyone, there was never even the thought of him escaping the confines of that damned scythe. His creation, though for partially for the ultimate form of destruction, was mostly as a cruel joke to the demon. Give him a home, a vessel, and then bind him to it for all eternity unless he is able to find the one and only human able to hold him without bursting into flames or complete insanity.

Rhaast had come across many men who held him for some time, but none ever keeping him as long as Kayn. They would all pick him up and it would happen the same: Their body would shift, much like Kayn's did as Rhaast took over, trying out his new shoes. Their pupils would dilate, their hair would turn bleach white, and they would quickly loose their mind. Many of them killing them selves before they could start scratching off their own skin or gouging out their own eyes. Rhaast had seen it hundreds of times.

But Kayn... Kayn was different. When he picked up Rhaast it felt like a stepping into the most perfect coat. His body changed, but not in the way the other's did. His body became more muscular and rugged when Rhaast entered him. He became more homey...

It took a few days for Rhaast to figure out he had found his owner. He refused to believe it, expecting the human to one day wake up absolutely mad. But Kayn handled him with ease and he was constantly aware of the scythe. He knew in the right hands Rhaast could be the purest of evil. But what Kayn didn't know is that only one could wield Rhaast- and that was Kayn himself.

For a long time Kayn and Rhaast worked together. They battled in sync, Rhaast intercepting only when he felt necessary. They did this for a long time, and they did it well. Their team fight was incredible, and it was that synergy that got them exiled from The Order of The Shadows. It wasn't until Petra came along that things changed...

Kayn became infatuated with this girl, Petra. Within only days Rhaast felt the disconnect between himself and Kayn. He felt himself loosing his grasp on the human's mind, and that angered him. As the human Kayn taught the girl to fight, things became quite clear. Kayn was out to protect Petra, not himself. Kayn had subconsciously put Petra first, and that put Rhaast second.

As time went on Rhaast spoke to Kayn more and more. He went from words of encouragement and intelligence to words of hatred and demeaning comments. This started slowly, but as Kayn grew to care for Petra it became clear that Rhaast needed to act fast if he intended on keeping the human's body. He didn't want to share, not with the demon girl.

Rhaast began pulling Kayn from sanity more and more frequently. While fighting this was fine, but outside of battle Rhaast noticed Kayn becoming sluggish and sickly. It had progressed so far that he felt he couldn't even turn back and stop it. The damage had already been done. Kayn was going mental, he was loosing his grasp on reality. The more and more Rhaast showed up, the less Kayn could stand, the less he could handle, and the less he could do.

Petra was a pain, she was much stronger than she realized- Kayn encouraged that. Rhaast had a sneaking suspicion that Petra was a demon similar to himself, and that made him nervous. So, in infesting Kayn, he hoped to push Petra away. He hoped that by erasing all that Kayn was to her, all that they shared together- that she would scare and run off. But that was not the case, she stayed. She tried to help him, she tried to fight Rhaast...

While this wasn't much now- while she didn't do much harm now, it was only a matter of time before Petra met Rhaast's abilities. And to his disdain, he had a sneaking suspicion that Petra was also immortal. Very young, and very naive, but immortal.

Rhaast noted every time Kayn threatened to leave him. He realized he was pushing very hard, and that if he wasn't careful he would push Kayn so hard that he may lose his vessel all together. He couldn't go any further without a physical body, it was so hard. A life of quiet insanity was no way to live. He had just found Kayn, he couldn't afford to loose him just yet. But... he also wanted to get rid of Kayn all together. Rhaast wanted to push Kayn into the scythe and take his body for himself. That was the goal, and he was so, so, close.
