What a thrill that had been! No concern for stealth, no need to hold back, just a sharp object and several rendable voidborn. Zoe’d even managed to lift him up to swing him around. Most of the time. Oh well, Rhaast would take what he could get.

Wait, what was that last part?

“You know, I used to have a MORE useful form. I didn’t…always put it to the use the Aspects wanted, though.”

Now how could he put this without telling the incredibly powerful 13-year old what he’d done and what had happened next? Her Aspect might not like that. Best to get backup first.

“We should be getting back to Kayn, though. I hope nothing’s eaten him while he slept.”

Zoe’s odd eyes seemed to light up at the words ‘more useful’. Maybe he could be an even bigger scythe, with loaded crossbows on the sides, and maybe he could fly! She found she quite liked that mental image a lot.

Then as he spoke of Kayn she giggled, finding the thought of him getting eaten somewhat silly. She shook her head, “The spell wears off if he’s touched,” she explained, “He’ll be fiiiiiiine.”

Skipping through the air, scythe dragged along behind her, at long last they reached Kayn. Still sleeping and not eaten. Zoe moved Rhaast back into Kayn’s hand, breaking the spell in the process.

@toolbalance continuation (much later on) from here 

Covered in void goo, voidborn slain, Zoe at last sat down with a sigh. She placed Rhaast down nearby, “That was fun!” She beamed. Her gaze fell upon Rhaast and her expression seemed to change somehow... as if suddenly she were much older and wiser.

“You’re not very useful to me as a scythe,” She spoke up, childish lilt to her voice gone, “We’ll have to do something about that.”

Quickly she hopped back up and began to float, her expression became giddy with childish joy once more, “But first lets get you back to your friend!” Grabbing Rhaast she began dragging him behind her once more.

The warlock raised a finger for his next counter-argument, until the bubble-like spell popped up near his hidden face. He seemed to hate the idea of getting enchanted by a pestering girl, frustrated, he replied ❝A nap?! Do you really believe I would waste my time… s-slumbering…❞ Veigar’s voice suddenly started to lower its tone, struggling as his eyes open and close slowly while his head lowers and raises up again.

He drifted into consciousness. And then back out. The world was a blur, and random images seemed to float aimlessly around in the pool of his thoughts, as though they were being blown about viciously by a hurricane. Even the slightest of noises momentarily brought him back to the outside world, but after a second he was once again lost. Veigar could feel somebody trying to look at him, staring dead in the eye, but he couldn’t keep focus. The whole world simply felt low resolution, a bad quality movie. Confusion blossomed in his heart and he knew that sooner or later he would need to wake up. To stare reality in the face. But for now he tried his hardest not to sit down and retreat into wallowing blackness.

❝Just… just wait until the spell breaks y-y-you… twit…❞ a yawn was let out from his unseen mouth, it seems the threats weren’t making anything better.

“Stop being cranky, Mr. Cranky Hat - it’s nap time now...”

Zoe cooed and fawned over Veigar as he slipped in and out of consciousness. She crouched close, watching with the kind of fascination one might have watching a cat slumber. And... much like when one watches a cat sleep you just can’t help but bother that animal. No longer caring for nap time and quickly bored just watching him Zoe reached a hand towards Veigar, popping the bubble, and moving to pet him on the face.

“You’re so CUTE!” She exclaimed. She just wanted to squeeze him until he burst, gosh. Hopefully he got all the crankiness out of his system because she wanted to pet and hug him already dangit!

He had seen the Aspect of the Twilight from far away and that was enough to ruin his day. What was enough considering the idea of time was not something he trully cared for considering a day for him was probably just like a second for a mortal.

The Star Forger simply stared at Zoe before he answered, his voice cold as the tail of a comet.

“Why should I do that?”

“Because!” Zoe squawked after the briefest moments of thought. Why did he need a reason anyway? So grumpy. 

“Come on, show me something cool already!” The aspect’s begging face intensified followed by much pleading, “Pleeeeeease? Please please please? PLEASE?”

[herbounty]

it has been a long time since one of these posts have been made, and i feel it’s time for a new one. there are a lot of league blogs that are no longer active and my knowledge of who is still around anymore is all wonky. so please reblog this with your champion name(s)*, if you’re a canon** champion blog or an oc, and where your champion is from in the tag. *name(s) for if you’re a multimuse blog. **canon can also mean canon-divergent.

ex. #miss fortune / canon / bilgewater.

She was right. Rhaast couldn’t feel his influence leaching into her like he had with Kayn. What kind of magic could resist a Darkin’s influence that well?

Ooh, did she just say ‘Void’?

“Why didn’t you lead with the Void part? I’m always down to slaughter some of their kind. Heck, if you had mentioned that first the three of us could have killed them all as a TEAM.”

Then the first part of what Zoe said hit him. Pantheon.The only reason the Aspect of War would possibly order a kid to kill Voidborn would be if he thought she was someone could pull it off. Rhaast’s eye widened. The most likely candidate for someone an Aspect would trust to take out Voidborn…

Was another Aspect.

“You could have your pick of the mountain, Aspect. Why steal a child?”

Zoe stopped. 

“I’m not a child! I’m thirteen! Thir-teen! I’m a teen!” She huffed, childishly pouting like that distinction meant all the world to her; like that was more important than the fact he had figured out she was an aspect without her saying so outright. 

“Anyway... I guess you figured it out,” She sighed before freeing up one of her hands to wiggle those fingers and let some sparkles fall from them, unenthusiastic, “I’m Zoe,” she reintroduced herself, “Aspect of Change and Twilight, cosmic messenger of Targon. Now can we puh-lease just go squash some buggies? Please?”

If he kept this bad attitude up she was gonna throw him into a portal that lead to a toilet universe.

Kayn expertly dodged to the side of the slow-moving bubble.

And then it popped.

Shit. Well he wasn’t dead, but what was the…the magic…oh gosh he needed to lay down…yeah that was better. Sleep now, deal with kid later. Kayn just needed to keep his grip on…hey, where was Rhaast?

“Wait…no I gotta holdonto-”

And he was out.

“Kayn? Kayn, wake up! Listen here, you smallish moron, I wasn’t kidding about the corruption thing. You see my friend’s funky arm? That was me. And that’s when I’m NOT trying to take over someone’s body. Unless you want to be the world’s smallest Darkin host.”

Not to mention the idiot was going to take Rhaast away from his best friend. For reasons she refused to explain, too! Which just added to the pile of things Rhaast wanted to know but didn’t.

Zoe was already trying to bring Rhaast along with her, and finding him actually a bit too heavy, attempting to drag him along at a painfully slow pace. 

Darkin... that word rang a bell. Where had she heard it before? Whatever that wasn’t important, “Sheesh! You’re not gonna corrupt me - do I look corrupted right now? I’m too cute to corrupt.”

“We’re gonna smash some bugs now, k? Pantheon said there were voidy things that needed squashing so here I am! He also said there was a special weapon around here I should test out on ‘em and here you are! I don’t know why he wanted me to use a big scythe though. I can clear out voidy bugs just fine on my own.”

It was clear that Zoe didn’t really have the full picture. The Darkin War was before her time and their sealing had been orchestrated in part by her predecessor. But Myisha’s memories were not her own and Pantheon hadn’t bothered to fill her in. She thought she was just supposed to swing a funky weapon around, but there was likely more to this than that. 

[everchilde]

toolbalance‌:

“No, absolutely not.” Kayn was not giving a child a Darkin Scythe. Corrupting power aside, could she even lift him? Kayn was not going to take that risk and watch a child mage accidentally slice herself open.

“What would you even do with me?” 

If she was that good of a mage, why bother with conventional weapons at all? Why not just kill whatever she was going after with spells?  Rhaast could see how a kid might be excited to hold onto a talking weapon, thought. Better clear that up.

“Besides, I physically corrupt anyone who tries to use me. So don’t do that.”

So it was gonna be that way was it? Well, okay then. 

“I didn’t wanna have to do this buuuuuuuut-” Zoe formed a bubble with one hand; inside it translucent butterflies seemed to flutter around. The aspect flicked the bubble at Kayn, grin more than a little impish, “You forced my hand!” She giggled at how dramatic that sounded.

Once the edgy spiky hair boy was down she was gonna grab that scythe and BOOK IT. She’d return it after she was done of course but for now it was gonna be scythe party time! Corruption smurruption - Zoe was pretty sure she’d be fine. 

[everchilde]

toolbalance‌:

“All right, you know what? I’m going to stop banging my metaphorical head against this metaphorical wall.”

If Mystery Kid intended on staying that way, there was clearly no way to sway her. Rhaast would have to figure out more about her some other way

Kayn wasn’t ready to quit just yet, though. Maybe if he kept talking she’d let something slip by mistake.

“Then what can you tell us aside from what we can easily see for ourselves?”

“I’ll tell you all kindsa stuff,” Zoe pointed towards Rhaast, “If.... you lemme hold the cute scythe. Please? Pretty please?” The pointing turned to grabby hands. 

Yes, she remembered why she was here. There were some voidy bugs nearby and it was recommended that she use a particular weapon in the area to squash them. The eyeball scythe must be it! 

She didn’t know why they wanted her to squash bugs with a scythe, she could do that just fine on her own! Maybe it was some kind of test? Though was it one for her or one for the talky scythe? Zoe hadn’t bothered to figure out the finer details. She hadn’t really been listening closely to the instructions in the first place.

“C’mon gimme!”

«……?» Cerulean hues widened. Was the one before her a Lunari like her? Pale hands trembling as she took another step toward the twilight-haired girl. That couldn’t be… She had been alone for decades, she looked everywhere in Targon to find a familiar face. She fought to not start crying, yet her eyes were slowly watering, blurring her sight. Covering her mouth, her eyes narrowed before replying to the child, who started to… Float around? She could sense she wasn’t dead like her, but she wasn’t the average person one could meet during a walk! Who was the person in front of her, then? «They’re all gone… And they’ll never come back. They’ve reached the stars.» She murmured, following her and trying to look like an “adult” woman.  Grown-up weren’t supposed to weep, right? She quickly wiped her tears, both of joy and mourning. «So… Are you a Lunari, child? I’m… Happy.» 

[everchilde]

“Liar,” Zoe’s brows furrowed and she turned around to pout at the other Lunari, “I’ve seen plenty of stars and none of my friends were there!” There was no way they could get to the stars anyway; only grumpy space dragons could be found all the way out there.

“Yes, I’m a Lunari. Duh!” She huffed, sounding annoyed. The Aspect didn’t understand why the other was being all teary-eyed and unhelpful. It frustrated her. 

What did she mean that they weren’t coming back? Where did they really go? Zoe had so many questions, but didn’t feel like she was going to get the answers she wanted from this one. Already she was going back to floating around and looking for clues. 

[everchilde]

Rhaast sighed. “Those portals definitely count as magic.”

Ah, great. Kid wasn’t helping. But that smile…where had he seen that smile before? 

“Speaking of which, where did you learn to just make portals like that? Is it something you’ve always been able to do or could it be learned?”

Kayn might have been contemplating how useful that sort of thing would be at ‘work’. Not that…wait, he never got her name. He probably should get that out of the way now rather than later.

“Also, you haven’t told us your name yet. I’m Kayn and this is Rhaast.”

“I learned it!” That was true enough; though Zoe doubted any mortal could just learn to do it as easily as she had with the power of her aspect. 

“Oh, my name’s Zoe and I’m The-” She stopped herself short. Should she say she’s an aspect? Or would they run away? She was supposed to deliver a message... or something... she couldn’t remember all the finer details, but whatever it was it wouldn’t do to have them running away.

“-The...” Zoe landed on the ground, finally ceasing her floating, though her twilight hair still flowed behind her, “The normal human girl. That’s me!” 

[everchilde]

toolbalance‌:

“Yeah, and you float. Where’d you figure out how to do that?”

Maybe she was a mage or something, but levitating an entire 8-year-old sounded like a pretty major feat.

“I don’t know Rhaast, that ‘ant colony’ theory really stands out to me. It would have to be an ancient ant colony, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t have happened.”

Kayn was teasing, but saying those words shifted his train of thought to the concept of an ant reincarnating as a human. What a shock that would be for the ant.

“Ant sounds nice. So does sibling. Because they both have LIMBS. Hey, you do magic.” Now he was addressing the kid again. “You ever meet anyone who could revert people who got sealed in weapons?”

Zoe crossed her legs into a sitting position, still floating. Her brows furrowed and she looked as serious as a child her age could muster, thoughtful too. 

Something in the back of her brain told her she could do something like that. Or maybe the reverse? The same something seemed to tell her that telling mortals about such a thing was out of the question.

“Hmmmmmmm,” Zoe popped open another portal, reaching inside until she pulled out two twigs. Perfect. Portals closing she zoomed in closer to the scythe, holding the twigs up next to him like they were a pair of little arms, “Look! Arms! No magic required!” She giggled, thoroughly amused, wiggling the little stick arms. 

[everchilde]

toolbalance‌:

“Wait be careful he’s sharp-”

Too late. Kayn pulled Rhaast away from the girl’s hand, being careful not to cut it. Why were people like this? Kayn hadn’t been that reckless when he was-no, wait, he absolutely had.

For his part, Rhaast was wondering what in the world this idiot kid was doing jamming her hand right next to a bunch of sharp bits. That scarf, though…there was something about the kid’s eyes and her scarf that rang a bell. But why? 

“Why do I feel like I’ve met you?”

Zoe pulled herself out of the portal, pouting, as it closed behind her. She reached a hand out towards the scythe even as its wielder warned her and pulled it away, “Hey, I - !” And then the scythe spoke; she gasped, floating closer.

“You talk!” It had an eye and it talked! How cool is that? She wanted a cool weapon that could talk back to her, but what kind would suit her? Maybe a bow? No - no a sword. Definitely a sword. Swish swish. 

“Maybe we know each other in an alternate dimension!” Finally the aspect responded to his question, “Or - or we’re long lost siblings with sibling-telepathy! Or maybe in a past life we were both ants in a colony and we carried sugar back to the queen together!”

Exasperation was Veigar’s most dominant feeling after the Aspect of Twilight made her approach towards him. For yordles, isolation is similar to a poison; a poison whose main purpose was to bring deadly effects on its host’s mind, losing a great portion of their positive feelings and only letting the negative ones taking control over the victim’s brain. The magus was, unfortunately, kept isolated in the darkness for decades, undoubtedly the reason why he doesn’t share the same personalities as sane yordles, despite… being quite silly too from time to time and still keeping his curious side of him.

Mouth and brows frowning, Veigar shouted at the other. ❝Fool! Keep your nasty hands away from me before I rip them off!❞

“Aw cutie fuzzy thing is cranky!” Zoe took a step back before crouching down to coo at the less than friendly yordle, “Do you need a nap, Mr. Cranky Hat?” She remembered plenty of times when she was little and being cranky; grownups had made her take naps! And she always felt better afterwards. Clearly that had to be the issue here. Why else would a yordle be so grumpy?

Without waiting for an answer a bubble of magic blossomed in her hand; this should to the trick. Zoe flicked the bubble in the yordle’s direction, watching with head tilted.

[everchilde]

@toolbalance liked for a starter

Poking her head out of a nearby portal (upside down of course) Zoe gasped at the sight she saw, “Your scythe has an eyeball!!” Already an arm was outstretched to poke said eyeball; not particularly caring if the scythe wielder or the scythe itself had any objections. She had never seen anything quite like that before and yet somehow it seemed vaguely familiar. Zoe feels fairly confident she would remember a scythe with an eyeball though.

Some pixel dolls of Zoe and Aurelion Sol because I wanted to have something cute on stream layout~ There’s a noticeable lack of Asol pixel art : ^(
