Chapter 1: The Roots

"FIRE!"

The command has been given, and the Noxian archers complied by releasing their arrows towards both their enemies and allies alike engaged in melee. The Noxian officer in the front was alerted by one of his men of the indiscriminate attack from their allies; rage slowly building up inside him.

Imperial Noxian Marine: "Captain! Incoming arrows from our allies!" One of the marines says to him.

(Anondric): "Raise shields!" The officer shouts and his men raise their shields to protect themselves from the arrows despite making themselves vulnerable to the enemy they are fighting at close proximity.

The arrows fall upon the Noxian and the Demacians alike, pelting warriors from both sides. (Anondric) takes the shield being offered to him by one of his men, whom he watched pay with his life. As soon as the arrows ceased, the officer and his troops organized what formation they can to fight off the Demacians soldiers.

It was until a large man in a regal armor emerges from the enemy horde and charges at (Anondric). The officer obliged and countercharged his new challenger, parrying an overhead strike from his greatsword with his mighty halberd. The officer blocks another strike coming to his right and shoulder bashed the large man away, and using the superior reach of his halberd to retaliate with a diagonal strike that hit the Demacian champion. However, there was minimal damage as the glancing blow merely scratched his challenger's armor. They both prepare for another clash as the battle around them rages on.

Garen: "Your forces are no match against the might of Demacia, Noxian pest!" The champion yells at the officer.

(Anondric): "We'll see how you can back those words up when I burn your precious nation to the ground!" The officer spits back as he attacks the champion once more.

They strike, block, and parry each other's attacks. The duel remained in a stalemate with no clear victor and the worst they can do to each other are punches or glancing blows with their respective weapons. However, (Anondric) have been in the front since the battle started, and the exhaustion is taking a toll on him.

Imperial Noxian Marine: "More arrows!" One of his men shouts again as the officer looks back while his halberd against Garen's weapon.

He only saw more arrows from the rear lines making their way through the smoky air and towards him and his men again. (Anondric) forcefully pushes Garen off him and blasts him away with his lightning, temporarily disabling his challenger.

[Thunderblast (Q): Dealing magic damage and silencing all enemies in a line for 2 seconds (3, 4, 5). Knocks back the first unit hit. When Heart of Storm is active, all enemies hit will be silenced for 2 seconds (3, 4, 5) and will take additional magic damage.]

(Anondric): "Raise shields!"

Imperial Noxian Marine: "Raise shields!"

But it was a little too late as more of (Anondric's) are shot by the arrows from the friendlies. He would order a retreat, but the Noxian line is running thin. If he and his men retreat, the whole line will break and he would spell defeat to his nation. He will not let that happen.

He looks back behind him to see Garen with smokes coming from the exterior of his armor. The Demacian champion spits on the ground and readies himself, and so did (Anondric).
