Ahri, Aki, Nidalee, and Tiara were just sitting in the dining hall, waiting for Tiara"s match to begin. Kayle had left a while ago, saying she has work to do.Currently, Ahri was telling Tiara about a few things that happened after she met Grey. "So, the next thing I knew, he was already gone and a few minutes later he came out of the bank with the hostages," she said explaining their day at Piltover.
"Ha! That does. Sound like my brother," the Dancer commented. "What did you do?"
"I slapped his head," Ahri deadpanned making the Dancer laugh.
"h.e.l.lo, everyone," they saw Brite and Solas walking towards them.
"Good morning, Brite," Aki greeted as the Silver Knight sat in a chair beside her.
After sitting down on his own chair, Solas asked, "So, did you hear anything on Grey?"
The Nine-Tailed Vastayan shook her head. "Not yet, but I"m sure he"ll be back."
"I hope so," Brite said shrugging his shoulders. "He still owes me a drink."
"That"s what you"re worried about?" Nidalee asked as they all deadpan at him.
The Warrior of Sunlight just shrugged again. Solas then thought of something. "You don"t think he was sent to another world, do you?"
"Knowing Grey"s luck, I wouldn"t be surprised," Tiara replied pointing out that since it happened once, why not happen again.
"Yeah, Grey always seemed to have terrible luck," Brite added remembering the trouble his friend get into.
Ahri smirked. "Like the time he and you ended up in a cave full of Hollows by accident?"
The Silver Knight narrowed his eyes. "How do you know about that?"
"Tiara has been telling us stories about Grey"s past, and this is one of them," Nidalee said chuckling.
"It was Grey"s fault for not bringing a map like I told him," Brite immediately defended putting the blame on the Abyss Watcher.
"Weren"t you the one leading that day, even without the map," Tiara said making the Warrior of Sunlight look away.
"I have a question," Solas said gaining their attention. "This might seem personal, but tell me, what was Ghear like?" he asked wanting to know more about the Moonlight Hunter.
The Dancer thought about it for a few seconds before answering. "A jacka.s.s," she said making them look at her surprised. "At first, he didn"t even adopt us because he wanted children, but because he wanted students. He just wanted someone to pa.s.s his knowledge on. So he picked two children, one from Farron Keep, and the other from the Boreal Valley. I"m pretty sure you can guess who they were," she said deadpan. "At the beginning, his training was so harsh, that I wanted to either kill him or myself."
"It couldn"t possibly be that bad," Nidalee noted. After all, they were children back then.
"On our first day, he threw me and Grey into a hole full of Hollows and told us to kill them all and stack their bodies to use them in order to get out of the hole," Tiara said making the others, except Brite, Look at her in disbelief.
"Okay… I take it back," Nidalee said retreating what she said.
"Yeah, like I said, a jacka.s.s," Tiara chuckled remembering her childhood. "But, he was a selfless one. I guess that rubbed off on Grey. In fact, Ghear was so selfless, he was able to hold the Lunar Harvester."
"Wait, Ghear had THE Lunar Harvester!?!" Solas asked shocked, surprising everyone.
"Uhmm, what is that, exactly?" Aki asked not knowing what they were talking about, along with the rest.
Seeing their confusion, Solas decided to explain. "The Lunar Harvester is a scythe made by my brother, Gwyndolin himself. It was made by pure Moon Magic and Miracles that were solidified into crystal. In terms of magical weapons, the Lunar Harvester is only matched by the Holy Moonlight Great-sword."
All of them looked in shock. None of them have ever heard of a weapon made of pure magic turned solid.
"The only drawback is that only those who are selfless can use it," Tiara said. "Those who aren"t will have their hands burn the minute they touch it."
"I guess that"s good," Ahri mumbled. "We don"t want a weapon like that in the wrong hands."
"Didn"t you hear me?" Tiara asked making the others confused. "I said they need to be SELFLESS. Not necessarily in a good way."
Now they understood what she meant. That means that anyone selfless can use it in any way they want. Good or evil.
Tiara"s body was covered in light. "I guess it"s time to kick a.s.s," she said before looking at Solas. "Now watch how a real Warrior does it."
Before the Sun"s First Born can reply, the Dancer vanished and the viewing or appeared in the middle of the dining hall.
Solas sighed. "Dealing with her would be easier with Grey around."
"Dealing with her is always easier with Grey around," Brite said at Tiara"s att.i.tude.
Inside the Match:
Tiara appeared in the summoner rift along with the other champions. She got a good look at her teammates. The first was Irelia. The second was Twisted Fate. The third was Vi. And the fourth was Blitzcranck.
"Well, h.e.l.lo there," Twisted Fate said looking at Tiara. "Another beautiful lady joins the league."
The Dancer looked at him for a second before saying, "Oh, you"re a man? I couldn"t tell with that get-up."
Twisted Fate stiffed as Vi started laughing. "Wow, that was just cold!" the Enforcer said between laughs.
"Oh, you"re a woman? What"s up with this place and mixed up clothes," Tiara quickly added.
Vi stopped laughing. "Hey!" she yelled while Twisted Fate smirked at her.
Tiara then noticed that Blitzcranck was staring at her. "What do you want?" she asked.
"Trying to identify you," Blitzcranck replied before nodding. "Identified, you are Tiara, the Dancer of the Boreal Valley. Grey"s sister."
Everyone looked surprised at different things, Tiara at Blitzcranck, while Vi, Twisted Fate, and Irelia at Tiara.
"And how do you know that?" the Dancer asked not remembering meeting the Steam Golem.
"I keep track of new champions, and people around Grey," Blitzcranck explained before adding, "He always seems to meet interesting people."
"Interesting is one word for it," Tiara mumbled before they heard the sound that signaled the beginning of the Match.
With that, Irelia went to the middle. Twisted Fate to the jungle. Vi and Blitzcranck to the top. And Tiara to the bottom.
The Dancer pa.s.sed through her team"s turrets and walked with the minions to the point where the two teams met together.
She saw the enemy minions and champion. It was Wukong. "Oh, a new fighter!" the monkey king yelled excitedly. "Let"s see what you got!"
Wukong jumped forward with yellow clouds covering his feet. However, the Dancer leaned back to the point where her head almost reached the floor, making Wukong pa.s.s above her.
The monkey king was caught off guard by Tiara"s agility, he was even more surprised when the Dancer immediately corrected herself, pulled out her blades, and spun around striking him in the back.
Because of the blades being infused with magic, one being fire and the other dark, the damage was more than it looked.
Wukong had to jump away as the Dancer faced him. He prepared his staff to attack again, but the Dancer merely stabbed her dark sword in the ground, dragged it in a line, and pulled it out while taking a step back.
The monkey king didn"t think much and what she did and jumped again to attack. But, when he was on top of the line made by her sword, it exploded with dark magic.
While he was dazed, the Dancer spun around striking him with her swords, she spun a second time doing the same thing, but she stopped before the third time and crossed her blades under the weakened Wukong"s chin, before using them as scissors and cutting his head off.
Looking over the now-dead champion, Tiara spun her weapons in her hands. "If that"s all people got around here, then this is going to be far easier than I thought."
The Dancer simply turned to the minions and started taking them down. After she was done, she started attacking the turret after it started targeting the minions.
Before she got to destroy the turret, the minions were all killed making Tiara jump away in order to avoid getting hit.
She jumped into the bushes to hide, noticing that Wukong came back with another champion, who is Ekko.
Tiara was sure about her abilities to take them on, but she needed them to move away from the turret.
However, before goes with her plan, her summoner spoke. "Champion, I"m sending you back, the middle lane needs help."
The Dancer rolled her eyes. "Typical," she mumbled as the recall spell activated, and she was sent back to the base a few seconds later.
After that, she went to the middle lane, where her summoner said that there"s trouble. She found that Irelia was having trouble fighting Rengar and Zyra.
The captain of the Ionian guards was using her blades to fight the Pridestalker while having to move away from the Carnivore woman"s attacks.
Irelia was using her blades to block an attack from Rengar, but that left her open for Zyra to strike.
Just as the Rise of Thorns was going to attack her, Tiara jumped between them and raised her hand before smacking her palm on the ground.
An explosion of fire happened that caught Zyra off guard. While in a daze, Tiara used her fire sword and stabbed the Carnivore woman in the chest and through the heart.
Pulling out her sword, the Dancer turned to the other two champions and saw that, without Zyra"s interference, Irelia was handling Rengar pretty well.
However, Tiara wasn"t about to wait for them to finish. So, she jumped at Rengar"s back, stabbing her swords in his shoulders.
Leaving his guard down from the sudden pain, the Pridestalker couldn"t protect himself as Irelia swept her hands making her blades cut off his head.
The Ionian captain called back her blades making them float behind her and glared at Tiara. "I could have handled that myself."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night," Tiara replied completely ignoring the glare she received.
Time skip: (brought to you by chibi Tiara using her blades as scissors to cut chibi Solas" hair.)
The match went on for an hour or so, Tiara"s team was pretty dominating. Right now, the Dancer was distracting the enemy champions as Vi attacked the Nexus.
The Dancer was fighting Rengar and Wukong. Both Vastaya got to see how agile the Outrider Knight can be.
She flipped back to avoid a swing from Rengar"s blade before she bent her body to the left to avoid Wukong"s staff.
Tiara then corrected her body while swinging her sword at the Monkey king making him jump back.
The two Vastaya stood beside each other and were ready to engage the Dancer again, but the announcer"s voice was heard. "VICTORY, Blue team."
The champions looked around and saw that Vi had destroyed the Nexus with the minions around her. After a few seconds, they were pulled out of the rift.
The champions found themselves in the summoning chamber with the winning Summoners celebrating.
After coming out, Tiara said. "Well, that was lame," she said walking with her team"s champions.
"How can you consider that lame?" Vi asked. The matches might not have had the amount of destruction she liked, but they were still fun.
"Trust me, I would have had that match done in minutes if I wasn"t restricted by the summoner," Tiara replied taking her helmet off. She had many moves she can use, but she found herself unable to because of being controlled by the summoner.
"I honestly can"t see how you are the Abyss Watcher"s sibling," Irelia said shaking her head.
She already talked to the Ionian champions that had met Grey after talking with Ahri. They all described him as humble, kind, easy-going, and patient, but Tiara was the opposite.
"I get that a lot," The Dancer replied shrugging her shoulders.
"Also, your armor looks nothing alike," Irelia noted again. "And somewhat… unsanitary," she added seeing how tight Tiara"s bodysuit was.
The Dancer nodded. "True, but I don"t think you"re one to talk."
Irelia stopped walking, crossed her arms, and glared at Tiara. "What"s that supposed to mean?"
Tiara looked at the Ionian captain with a hand on her hip. "Sweetheart, I can a.s.sure you that I"m one hundred percent straight, but even then I couldn"t keep my eyes off your a.s.s in those tight pants," she said smirking.

The Ionian captain blushed and covered her backside with her hands while Tiara just walked away smirking.
She walked into the dining hall and found the table the others were sitting in. Once she sat down, Tiara looked at Solas saying, "That"s how you really fight."
"I"ve seen better," Solas replied shrugging his shoulders.
The Dancer glared at him. "Where?"
"In the mirror," the Sun"s First Born replied. They all remembered that Tiara said the same thing to him after his own match.
The Outrider Knight kept glaring at him before she raised her hand and pointed a certain finger at the ceiling.
With Grey:
The Abyss Watcher had finally reached the bottom of the cherry blossom tree. In there was a pedestal with three circle-shaped holes.
Behind the pedestal was a circle-shaped door with stone gates. The gate itself was on the side of the tree, almost like it was leading to inside it.
Grey walked towards the pedestal and took out the three medallions, putting each one in each hole.
When the medallions were in place, the ground slightly shook before the stone gates started opening, revealing a white light.
"Well," Grey said walking up to the gates. "Here goes nothing," he entered through the gate.
The Abyss Watcher was blinded by the surrounding light for a few seconds before his eyes adjusted to it.
He was now standing on a large wooden bridge with a red rail on each side. The bridge wasn"t very long but was still big.
The bridge seemed to lead to this big temple with a wooden structure. It had three levels, all of them covered in windows, and on the roof was the crest of Ionia, surprisingly.
On the other side of the bridge, was a figure, apparently sitting down. "Is that the Demon?" Grey asked as he walked closer.
When he was halfway through the bridge, the Demon rose up to reveal its form. It had a humanoid appearance with dark red skin, long and wild white hair, and was wearing a mixture of a white yukata and black robes. In its hands, was a katana with a long blade and handle.
The eyes of the Demon were black and empty, but it was obviously glaring at Grey as it let out a loud screech before jumping towards him while swinging its katana in a wide arc.
The Abyss Watcher immediately pulled out his sword and blocked the swing, but it still managed to send him a few feet back.
The Demon then raised its sword and brought it down to cut Grey in half, but the Lord of Cinder immediately rolled to the left avoiding the hit.
The Abyss Watcher swung his sword at the Demon"s side after regaining his stance, stabbing it in the process.
The Demon let out a screech that was a mixture of pain and anger as it swung its katana at Grey again.
The Lord of Cinder immediately used his sword to block, but the strike had so much strength that it sent him to the side of the bridge and would have fallen if it weren"t for the rail.
Grey had to roll away as the Demon brought down its katana on him, cutting through the wooden rail that was supporting the Abyss Watcher.
The Lord of Cinder stood back up again as the Demon pulled back its katana and glared at its opponent before charging forward to swing its sword.
The Abyss Watcher rolled away again and thought about the movements of the Demon. It had speed and strength, but it was moving purely on instincts, which made its movements rather predictable.
With that in mind, Grey was able to know when the next swing from the katana came as he rolled under the blade before standing up and thrusting his sword forward.
The Demon was. .h.i.t in the chest but, surprisingly, the sword didn"t pierce through it. It sent it a few skidding backward before it corrected itself.
The Demon was obviously mad, as it screeched again before raising its katana and slamming the back of the handle on the ground.
Suddenly, fog covered over the entire bridge, the same kind of fog that covered Susano"s mountain.
Shadows appeared around the Abyss Watcher, but those looked like the Demon instead of humans.
A shadow tried to cut Grey by swinging down its katana, but he rolled out of the way. Just as he stood up, the Abyss Watcher had to jump away as another shadow swept its katana at his feet.
The Abyss Watcher growled in annoyance. Every time he would try to hit a shadow, he had to move out of the way to dodge another, and he couldn"t find the original either.
At that moment, Grey had enough and just stood still. One of the shadows came behind him and stabbed its katana through the Abyss Watcher"s back.
Grey did nothing and just let the shadow pull out its weapon as he fell on the ground. The shadows gathered around and thought they had attained victory.
However a loud, blood-freezing screech was suddenly heard all over the area, and it didn"t belong to the Demon.
Even the shadows took a cautious step back as Grey"s cape turned pitch black and he slowly stood back up again with his twitching body letting out black smoke.
The Abyss Watcher rose at full height and the shadows got ready to attack. But, before any of them moves, Grey raised his hands and unleashed black smoke all over the area.
All the shadows started dying out before they vanished. The fog also started disappearing before the Demon was visible again.
It was in the middle of the bridge, and it was obviously affected by the black smoke as it seemed to have problems breathing and standing up.
The Lord of Cinder, however, had no intention of letting the Demon stand up. He came towards it swinging his sword upwards.
The black smoke covering the blade made it stronger as the strike managed to send the Demon back on its back.
Before the Demon could even try to stand up, Grey"s sword was stabbed through its chest making it screech in pain.
The black smoke on the sword started sucking the life out of the Demon. Its red skin started losing its color and its movements slowed down. After a few seconds, it stopped moving completely as its skin turned pale white before it suddenly turned to dust.
The Abyss Watcher"s body stopped twitching as his cape turned back to its usual red color. He sighed as he pulled his sword from the ground and put away his weapons.
Grey walked to the front of the bridge in front of the temple. He looked around but didn"t find an entrance. No doors, no windows, nothing.
"I found the medallions, opened the gate, killed the Demon," the Lord of Cinder said before looking at the sky. "I stand at last at the Gate of Spirits," he started laughing hysterically. "But I have no idea what I should do next," he said shaking his head.
"It"s not that hard really," Someone said and he looked beside him to see Ama looking at him.
Normally, Grey would question how she appeared, but he was too tired for that. "I"m not in the mood for any riddles, Ama."
The woman simply chuckled and walked towards the temple and put her hand on the front wall.
Suddenly, the wall itself split in half revealing a door made of pure light. "Here, this should take you where you desire," Ama said before looking at him with narrowed eyes. "However, the gate will ONLY take you where you desire, and nowhere else, so choose wisely."
The Lord of Cinder understood that Ama was telling him that if he doesn"t want to go to Runeterra and go back to his own world instead, then it will happen.
The Abyss Watcher walked forward and stopped in front of the gate taking a deep breath. "I want to go home," he said walking into the gate.
In the Inst.i.tute of War:
The sun had already set, Ahri was sitting in the dining hall with Aki, Nidalee, Brite, Solas, and Tiara. The others left saying that they had plans today.
The Nine-Tailed Vastayan was patting Silver as he sat on her lap. She was feeling rather depressed.
"Calm down, fox," Tiara said gaining Ahri"s attention. "If I know one thing about my brother is that he"s too stubborn to stay dead."
Ahri sighed. "I know, I"m just worried."
"I don"t know," Brite shrugged gaining shocked looks from around. "I mean, this IS Grey we"re talking about, so I wouldn"t bet that he"s completely okay."
"So? He can take care of himself," Solas noted.
"That"s what we thought when he went missing, and look at where that got him, into another world," Brite said making the others start thinking. "I"m not saying Grey can"t take care of himself, but he has a habit of getting into messed up troubles. You can"t exactly expect him to come back by falling through the sky."
Just as the Silver Knight finished saying that, a large portal appeared at the ceiling of the dining hall.
Everyone in the hall looked at the portal, some champions even went on guard. However, only one thing or person came out of the portal.
Grey fell from the portal as it closed, heading to the ground before colliding to it with a large thud.
Everyone just stared at the Abyss Watcher with a mixture of shock and disbelief as he laid on the ground. "Once, just once I want to WALK through a portal instead of FALL through it," people heard him groan.
The first person to walk towards him was Tiara. "Took ya long enough to get back," she chuckled and her brother just groaned in response. "You okay?"
The Abyss Watcher flipped to his back. "Well, I"m wounded in several places, I"m pretty sure my legs are broken, and I just fell from a hight that is like 20 meters," he listed out before shrugging the best he can. "So, yeah, just another day being me," he said as Silver ran towards him and started rubbing his head on the Abyss Watcher"s.
"I"m more worried that you are being you," Brite said standing beside the still down Abyss Watcher.
"Brite, can you heal me with a miracle?" Grey asked.
"Sure," the Silver Knight replied before pointing at Grey. "As soon as you start Praising the Sun."
"Then I"d rather crawl to my room," the Abyss Watcher replied as he flipped on his stomach and actually started crawling through the floor while leaving a trail of blood.
"He"s really going to do it, isn"t he?" Nidalee asked as she walked Grey drag his body with his hands.
The Dancer slapped the back of Brite"s head. "Heal him," she ordered.
The Warrior of Sunlight grumbled and pulled out his talisman before moving it and a rune circle appeared around him.
When the circle vanished, the Abyss Watcher"s wounds had healed enough for him to stand up again.
Grey moved his neck around, finally relieved of the pain. He looked at the others… until his eyes landed on Ahri.
She was just standing there rubbing her elbows, opening her mouth and closing it, like she wanted to say something but hesitated. Grey himself wanted to say something but didn"t know how to start or how to say it.
Before either of them say anything, Kayle came in. "Grey, you"re back!" she said as she stood in front of the Abyss Watcher. "I"m glad you"re alright, but now that you"re back, we should go see the High Summoners."
Grey looked at Ahri again and she shrugged her shoulders with a look that said "we"ll talk later".
The Lord of Cinder looked back at Kayle and nodded. "Sure, let"s go," he said as he started following the Righteous to the High Summoners chamber.
Time skip: (Brought to you by chibi Ahri and chibi Grey being too embarra.s.sed to look at each other.)
The Abyss Watcher had returned to his, Ahri, and Nidalee"s room after a tiring meeting with the High Summoners.
They asked him how the mission went, where he was, and how he returned. Grey, remembering that Ama showed hatred to Runeterra, decided to lie and say he doesn"t remember.
Getting into the room, he saw Silver on the couch and he immediately went to the Abyss Watcher as he knelt down to pet him.
"It"s good to see you again, too," Grey said before noticing how tired the wolf pup looked. "You should get some sleep," he said picking up Silver and putting him on the couch.
The Abyss Watcher sat beside the wolf pup and kept petting him as he started sleeping. When he was sure the Silver was sleeping, Grey stood up taking a deep breath before he went to Ahri"s room.
He found the Nine-Tailed Vastayan sitting on her bed. Grey closed the door behind him as she stood up and walked towards him.
"Ahri, I-" before he can say anything, she immediately hugged him.
Ahri tightened her hold on the Abyss Watcher, even making her tails go around him. It looked like she was scared that he might vanish.
"I"m glad you"re alright," Ahri said as Grey returned the hug. They both just stayed like that, hugging each other before Ahri let go and looked at him. "I"m sorry."
The Abyss Watcher raised an eyebrow. "For what?"
"Everything," Ahri said. "I should have paid more attention. I just focused on what I went through and completely forgot about what you went through."
"Ahri, You don"t-"
"Yes, I have to," The Nine-Tailed Vastayan looked at his eyes, and Grey saw hesitation. "Grey… what are we? To each other, I mean."
Grey was confused. "We"re friends," he replied.
"Are we?" she asked making Grey even more confused. "Can you really say we"re JUST friends?"
"Of course not, Ahri. I"m not stupid," Grey replied. He knew that "Friends" did exactly describe their relationship.
"Then… how do you feel about me?" Ahri asked with a hopeful voice and look.
A few days ago, the Abyss Watcher didn"t know how to answer that. However, after his fight with Ama, he finally made up his mind on how he feels.
"I love you," Grey said shocking Ahri to the core. "I don"t know how you feel about me, and I don"t know if I even deserve you, but I do know how I feel about you. Know that nothing will change if you don"t-"
He didn"t get to finish as Ahri jumped forward, wrapped her hands around his neck and started kissing him.
Grey was surprised beyond belief, but after a few moments, he started kissing back. They stayed like that for a few moments before they broke their locking lips for the need of air.
"I love you, too," Ahri said as her eyes got watery with happy tears. "I-I can"t even tell you how long I wanted to say that, let alone hear YOU say it first."
The Abyss Watcher himself felt that his eyes started getting wet. "I"m really sorry that I kept you waiting, but I was just confused on how I felt."
"I guess that"s fair," Ahri said before smirking, pulling the Abyss Watcher, and pushing him to the bed. "But now, I guess we can make up for lost time," she added straddling his waist.
Before, Grey would have turned her down. But now, he just leaned forward and locked their lips together again. Then, they started a night neither of them will be forgetting.
(A/N: Thank you for reading this.
First, I apologize for the late update. I had a major writer"s block when it came to this story. I try to write, but then I start seeing the letters in Urdu.
Second, I"m sorry, but I don"t do lemons. The reason is that I"m a really shy person when it comes to making stuff like this. In fact, I was blushing while writing the last part of this chapter.
Third, I hope you like how Grey and Ahri got together since a lot of you have been telling me to let it happen.
Fourth, there is a new experimental version of this story, called "A Fox and her Watcher". That version is purely experimental, I will finish this one before going to it. But, can you go and check on it. It"s a complete remake. Even the way Ahri and Grey meet is different.
Lastly, I might not update for a while, not because I"m quitting. I have no plans to quit on any of my stories. However, I decided to start an entirely new story with my own characters, plot, and universe. So I hope you understand.
Again, thank you for reading this. Please comment, review, and give me your thoughts on my story.)
