Katarina Du Couteau, the assassin full of sins. She's a talented assassin, the commandant's daughter, and she has the greatest respect from every Noxus citizen. Katarina's strength lays in following her heart no matter what, but her entire life chan...
Hell is a feeling my friend Elina kept talking about all the time. Every time she went home, she said, it felt like hell for her. When her father never came back, when her brother chose the wrong path and fought for the enemies, when her mother put all responsibilities over her daughter that it started choking her. It all feels like hell.
My hell is different. I can add that hell is when your heart is in a place and you are in another one. I think of home, of my beloved ones, and how I got the mysterious courage to leave them all behind. The only positive thing that keeps me going is proving my innocence.
Only If I prove to my family, my tribe, and everyone that my hands are clean of the murder of Hammunculus. Only if.
I stand in the main corridor waiting for Garen. I have been waiting here for almost an hour. He finally shows up. He doesn't seem much of an iceberg. He looks down and gives me a piece of paper.
'' What is this? '' I take it and read through the lines.
'' You cannot join the League tournament unless you are registered. '' He notices that I feel embarrassed. How wouldn't I know about this?
'' And this one? '' The registration paper holds two copies. The second one is an accommodation process.
'' I thought it would be better if you stay and train with us. '' He suggests. I suspect how everything is working perfectly without even me asking for it.
I met Garen and he led me towards his father's castle by himself. He made it easier for me to get into the castle as well. And now he is offering me a chance to stay here.
'' I can't. '' I try to hide my excitement and desire to accept his offer.
'' Why not? '' He insists. The path is so easy that I get suspicious. I think of Cassiopeia and Lulu. The little witch must be able to see all of this through her Crystal Ball.
'' Okay fine. '' I agree at Garen's suggestion and start filling up the registration paper before he changes his mind. I just wish I am making the right decisions this time. This is the only way for me to be closer to the castle, to always have access to it, and to be closer to Garen.
It's a dangerous plan to take but its worth it. The closer I am to him, the better I can get him to speak about his father and we can start thinking of searching for his murderer. But if he finds out I am from the house of Du Couteaux, I won't make it out of here alive.
'' I want you to meet my friend first. I am sure you'll get along. '' He gestures for me to step ahead of him. '' She's an assassin. She's from Ionia as well. '' He smiles, and my heart skips a beat. I guess I'll have to live with this fear of Garen finding out who I am if I am meant to stay with him in the same castle.
Garen leads me towards my room. As soon as he opens the door, a knife flies towards us. It almost hits both of us. It lands between Garen's shoulder and my head. He takes it out of the solid wood door and throws it back at the girl who's inside. She's a beautiful girl with dark hair. She looks my age.
'' Chill! It's just us. '' Garen closes the door behind us. '' Katja, this is Akali. Your roommate. '' He introduces her to me. The moment I see her, I can feel that she's a threat. The girl from Ionia can ruin my whole plan if she asks the right questions and I give wrong answers.
Just avoid answering. That sounds as a solution. At least a temporary one.
'' So, when are we going to start? '' She completely ignores my presence which annoys me. Akali walks towards Garen and holds his arm. They seem close to each other.
'' Come with us Katja. '' Garen invites me to accompany them. I see Garen and Akali and I try to compare them to Cassiopeia and Warwick. I can notice the difference.
The moment I saw Cassiopeia and how she blindly followed Warwick through the jungle, I knew they have a strong friendship bond between each other. But Akali looks around her every time she takes a step forward.
I don't know if Garen notices this action or not. I don't know Garen either, and I cannot know if she is right or not. I just assume that she is and put my defences up like she does.
Garen starts to train with Akali. They are fighting against each other. I see how he is on the battleground and I finally understand why they called him an iceberg. He is wearing his fight costume and it makes him look much bigger than his usual form. He holds the giant sword as if it's as light as a feather.
As they start applying their abilities towards each other, he doesn't give Akali a chance to cause any damage towards him. Probably she simply can't cause any damage because she's weaker than he is. I wouldn't choose to train vs a tank. I am confused if it is a smart move from her or the opposite.
'' Want to see my decisive strike Katja? '' Garen gains a burst of movement speed. He strikes a vital area of his foe and Akali barely escapes the hit. She seems as impressed as I am with his ability. If she is his close friend, how come she doesn't know his fight tricks?
'' And here comes my judgement. '' Garen dances around with his sword. It's the dance of death. Talon spoke about the dance of death and the damage it deals around the person. Its duration depends from a performer of the dance to another one. It also shreds the enemy's Armor.
Akali panics when she sees how serious he is in the training. It looks like it is the first time he trains this seriously. I didn't train against my brother a lot, but I knew all of his capabilities. I even knew his ultimate power, the Shadow Assault.
I knew by heart how Talon disperses a ring of blades around him and becomes as fast as the light that it makes him look invisible. I knew when he would emerge from invisibility and regain his normal speed to catch the blades again on his location.
'' You didn't see his abilities before? '' I ask Akali who's standing besides me, panting. She doesn't answer me. She silently leaves which proves that she dislikes me.
