Third POV: the High Summoners chamber.

The High Summoners were watching the official match between the Shadow Isles and Demacia.

They saw Grey get defeated and stand up again but differently. When Grey unleashed the smoke, the Grand Summoner suddenly stood up from his chair surprisingly the others.

"is something wrong Grand Summoner?" the Ionian Summoner asked.

The Grand Summoner kept looking at the orb 'that power... Nito?... But how?'

After the match: inside the hallway.

Grey was walking through the hallway with the rest of his team following, but keeping their distance.

He reached the dining hall and went the table where the others were. He sat down and his teammates followed suit.

Everyone was silent, until the Abyss Watcher took a deep breath "I know what you'll say, so just say it".

"what the was that!?!" everyone but Kindred almost yelled.

"I... Don't know" Grey replied looking down.

"what do you mean 'you don't know'?" Ahri asked.

"Grey that wasn't natural" Nidalee said "Ahri said something about blood and fire, not smoke and death".

"yeah, that's something I expect Kindred to do" Ezreal added.

"I really don't know" Grey replied still looking down.

"it's very simple" Wolf said making everyone look at him "you became an aspect of death".

"you... Knew this was going to happen?" Grey asked looking at Kindred.

"knew? No" Lamb said "suspected it? Yes".

"you could've given me a little warning that I have Nito's soul!" Grey almost yelled making everyone surprised.

"ummm Grey, who's Nito? And why did you say you have his soul?" Ezreal asked the questions that everyone was thinking.

Grey took a deep breath to calm down and sighed "at the beginning of my world, there wasn't anything, no light, no dark, no life, and no death. But then there was fire, and with it came opposites. Warmth and cold. Pain and pleasure. Hope and despair. Life and death. And of course... Light and Dark. And from the fire, came four great souls, the souls of the lords. One of those souls was the soul of Death, and it belonged to the first of the dead, Nito, and somehow, I have his soul".

"wait, how? And what about your own soul?" Garen asked.

"for the first question, I don't know. For the second one... I'm not sure what happened to it" Grey replied.

"what do you mean you don't know about your own soul?" Ahri asked.

"my own soul, the one I was born with, is something I don't know the state of" Grey said and looked at everyone "when I joined the Abyss Watchers as a full fledged member, I part took the wolf blood and became a part of the Soul of The Blood of the Wolf-"

"how did you pronounce that? I don't think I even heard it correctly" Lux said.

"-it is a soul that we Abyss Watchers share, all of us are a part of it" Grey continued ignoring Lux's statement "the fact that I'm part of that soul is the reason I'm a Lord of Cinder. When the Abyss Watchers became Lords, that also included me"

"so you Abyss Watchers share the same soul?" Jarvan summed looking shocked with most of who was on the table.

Ezreal whistled "now that's what I call camaraderie".
