Abyss watcher in the league V2

CH36: Trust.

Third POV:

It was a little after sunset. Ahri, Aki, Ezreal, Brite, Grey, Nidalee, Lux, Jarvan, and Shyvana were just sitting waiting for the official match.

“This is going to be your first Ionian official match. Are you going to be okay?” Grey asked.

Ahri rolled her eyes “Yes, Grey. I'm going to be alright.” she replied. She was a little tired of him asking that but she still truly appreciated it.

“Yeah, don't worry.” Lux said before smirking at Ahri “We're not going to kick her butt too bad.” she taunted.

The Fox Vastayan chuckled “Isn't that cute? You actually think you stand a chance.” She taunted with her own smirk.

“Arrogance can be the downfall of the greatest warriors.” Jarvan said before smirking himself “Which is exactly why you'll lose.”

“Is it always like this before a match?” Brite asked witnessing the champions taunt each other.

“Kind of, yes.” Grey, Ezreal, and Nidalee answered at the same time.

“So who else is in the Match?” the Explorer asked trying to change the subject.

“Well, Garen would have joined,” the Prince of Demacia started before looking at Lux “but someone left him to do all the cleaning on his own.”

“Yeah, it really sucks that he can't join.” Lux mumbled obviously pretending to look guilty “So what are we going to do after Demacia wins?” she questioned completely changing her attitude.

Ahri chuckled “When Ionia wins we'll probably celebrate with a feast.” she said with a cocky smile “But don't worry Lux, I will let you eat something to make yourself feel better about that loss.”

“Oh, it's on now, Ahri.” Lux said pushing her hands forward and snapping her fingers “I'm going to enjoy that defeated look on your face.”

“Speaking of, who is going to be with your team, Ahri?” Grey asked.

Ahri was about to answer but stopped with a thoughtful look “I… actually don't know.” She replied while resting her head on her hand “But whoever it is, I just hope it isn't someone like Jhin, Maia, or Zed.”

Grey raised an eyebrow “I get the first two, but what about Zed?” he asked.

Everyone but Brite and Nidalee look at the Abyss Watcher in shock. For a second, they thought that he forgot what happened during his first day here in the Institute.

“I don't know, maybe the fact that he stabbed you in the heart.” Ahri said hoping that Grey would see reason.

“So?” Grey asked making them more surprised “I've been stabbed in the heart many times. In fact, Brite stabbed me in the heart once.” their surprised looks turned to Brite hoping that this was a joke.

“Don't worry everyone.” The Silver Knight said making them think it was indeed a joke. But Brite continued “We were already close to a Bonfire when I stabbed him.”

“Okay, but why would you stab him in the first place?” Ezreal asked.

“It was about an argument I think.” Grey said with a hand on his chin. The others were shocked that he spoke of it like it was the weather “If you think that's bad, he once literally ripped my heart out when he was drunk.”

“Wow.” Lux mumbled as she and everyone looked a little uneasy at how lightly the undead talked about dying. The light mage then gained a smirk “I guess you can say that it was pretty… Heartbreaking.” she joked wiggling her eyebrows.
