Heartless. Ruthless. Fearless. Assassins of the highest order all share these traits - but none more so than the notorious Shadow Reaper Kayn and the infamous Rogue Assassin Akali. Their blades knowing the blood of hundreds, these two Ionian warriors are far too hardened to affection to ever find love. ...or are they? "The Demon and the Shadow" follows the story of Kayn and Akali in the League of Legends universe. If you are unfamiliar with the lore, I highly recommend checking out Necrit on youtube, namely his videos on Ionia, Kayn and Akali. These will give you all the information you need to understand the context of this story, however, I hope you can enjoy it even without any context.
