Kayn's Prodigy: A League of Legends Fan Fiction

Chapter 31

They entered Noxus separately, the girls heading in first to scope things out and find a boat; Then Kayn, alone. The girls would stand by watching Kayn, waiting for his planned capture. As soon as that occurred they would board the boat and get to Zaun. It was the plan, one that made everyone nervous- but it's all they had to work with.

Kayn stepped down on the cobblestone street. The sun was beating down but the ocean still lent a subtle breeze. The harbor was busy, packed full of merchants and travelers. He did his best to get a look at everyone's face, he wanted to try as hard as he could to see his "captors" coming. If he were going to go down, willingly- which would remain unknown to them, he at least wanted to avoid as much pain as possible. He knew that whom ever took him would not be kind and he knew he would not be stepping into Zaun unscathed. Kayn just hoped that at the end of this he'd be alive and able to fight Zed with no hindrances.

After a few minutes of walking the streets Kayn caught eyes with Petra. She signaled that they had found a boat and were standing by, and before he lost sight of her she made a gesture with her hands. Uncover the scythe she pantomimed, her hands lifting the invisible hood that wasn't on her head. 

With a deep breath, knowing that this would bring intimidate attention to him, Kayn pulled the hood from his back and dropped it to the ground. 

One minute... Two minutes... Three minutes-

Kayn felt a hand grab his shoulder and he jerked back. So much for seeing it coming... He fell to the street, his human palm scuffing from the stone. He looked up to see two cloaked men standing before him. They stepped on his hand, holding him down. Kayn grunted in pain, his demonic arm being lifted above his head by a firm grasp.

"The fuck is this?" The man holding his arm asked. "That demon's ruining you, ain't he?" They both laughed. 

Act weak. Kayn thought to himself, don't let them know what you're capable of. 

"This is going to be way easier than the guys warned." The one stepping on his hand snorted, digging his heel into his flesh.

"Fuck," Kayn growled, trying to rip away. 

"Ahhhhh, thats enough outta you." The one holding his arm said, then landed a swift punch to Kayn's face. Blood flooded into his mouth, dripping from his lips. He looked to the ground spitting on the boot that held his hand down. 

"Hey! Prick." He yelled, pulling away. Kayn lunged at his legs, ripping his arm from the other man. He wasn't trying to take anyone down, only make his struggle seem believable.

"Alright, alright." The one who had his arm said. "Enough of this, it's pathetic." He grabbed a fist full of Kayn's hair and dragged him to his feet. Blood ran down his chin, bubbling and dripping to the ground. "I'm sure you know what we're here for." He smiled.

"Fuck you." Kayn spit at him, and the man pulled away yanking Kayn's head forward. Kayn yelled out in pain.

"You don't look so good, Shieda Kayn." He laughed "That witch we got didn't do much for you, huh?" They both burst into laughter. 

Kayn growled, his face showing traces of pain. The man pulled him forward again, grasping his hands and pulling them forward. He took out a thick rope and tied it tightly around Kayn's wrists, taking tedious measures to ensure Kayn wouldn't break free. Kayn showed small amounts of rebellion, still keeping up with the facade. He wondered if they expected it to be this easy. Did Zed really only send two men? Did he expect so little from Kayn that he sent two stupid human men?

"Alright, lets get a move on. Zed's gonna want him back for the witch's execution." They laughed, yanking at Kayn's wrist's to get him walking. 

Execution... He thought to himself. Zed isn't even prepared for a fight. He actually thinks that Kayn will be captured and there will be no trouble. This was perfect, no one had any idea that Kayn and Rhaast were now one. He would have to continue to work at looking weak and powerless. He needed to keep up the act. 

It was hard for Petra to watch Kayn get beat up out in the open like that. It took some will power to hold herself back, and eventually she just needed to look away. Katarina and Soraka corralled her into the loading port and as they entered the boat she glanced over her shoulder one last time, hoping to meet Kayn's eyes as they parted. But he was gone, lost in the crowd. She could only hope and trust that he was alright. That they would all be alright. 

Rhaast looked on from Kayn's eyes, studying their captors. Like Kayn, he too was surprised that Zed only had only sent two of them. It seemed out of character for the power hungry leader of the Zaun Assassins who wanted nothing more than to kill his own first hand prodigy. It was until they boarded the small brig that both Kayn and Rhaast realized they were severely out numbered. 

Looks like we're laying low. Rhaast spoke inside of Kayn's mind. Kayn nodded in agreement, keeping his bloodied face to the floor to avoid unwanted beatings from the men who would surely feel attacked by something as simple as direct eye contact. 

There was at most 20 of them, many who were defiantly assassins. Their masks hid their identities, and so there was no one for Kayn to recognize. Not that knowing any of these animals would help, he knew there would be no helping him. Kayn knew damn well this would be the worst boat trip of his life and all he could do was hope that their backwards plan worked out in the end.
