#fist of shadow

[leagueoflegends-confessions]

Whenever I play my main Akali, there's always a Shen or Kennen (or both) on my team. I get really hyped and assassinate everyone perfectly. Whenever Shen ults to protect me, I get really giddy inside. Probably because of their lore and that I just ship Akali x Shen hard. I just love it. I love Akali. I do ship Akali with Zed also because she's the Fist of Shadow thanks to Zed, so why not? Love Triangle! Hehe.

Some random dramatic (maybe?) shit I made because I don't want another idea to get trashed. (Tho I might make a slightly non-canonical comic on Akali’s lore.)

That's the previous Fist of Shadow (Akali's mother), btw.

Bad fonts, Cleru, bad fonts.

16:How exactly are you feeling at the moment? / 18:Are you scared of spiders? / 33:Do you have trust issues? / 60:Is there anyone you would die for?

16: How exactly are you feeling at the moment? “I am fine,” he says. “Nothing I’m not used to.” It is not much to go off of, but the distant look in his eyes suggest the contrary.

18: Are you scared of spiders? “No, I am not. Perhaps that’s why some of my students constantly call me to kill spiders in their room for them.”

33: Do you have trust issues? “I trust myself to know who to trust.”

60: Is there anyone you would die for?“Akali. Kennen. My students. They are the future of the Kinkou. As their Master, it is my responsibility to protect them all to the best of my ability, even at the cost of my life.”

Why their fights always ended in a draw.

She’ll 1v2 these big boys easy. Akali, plz.

Apologizing letter from Akali where she says goodbye to Shen and Kennen.

Leave an object in my ask and my muse will react to it being given to them.

The paper wrinkles in his hands. Shen’s knuckles are gradually whitening, his grip tightening. His eyes are slitted, perusing the letter as if there is some secret message he had somehow missed the first half dozen times he had read it. 

Kennen is now peering over the master's shoulder, no longer able to wait for his turn. Shen pays him no mind though. How can he when his thoughts are all focused on the Fist of Shadow? 

Shen doesn’t understand and it sends his mind reeling.

Yet,  at the same time, the Eye of Twilight does. 

There is nothing left for Kennen and him, except to trudge forward with their lopsided walk. Shen can see Kennen waiting for him to say something, but he doesn’t utter a sound. Instead, he folds the letter and hands it to the Heart of Tempest, banishing it and the thoughts of Akali from his mind.

It is time to train the next Fist of Shadow.

💤 reverse - Akali

Send “ 💤 reverse” for my muse’s reaction to yours falling asleep while resting against them.

It was supposed to be a simple mission: find the rotting branch and then prune the tree. Judging by the heavy tracks in the mud, the two ninjas weren’t far from their targets, but the elements proved too hazardous for them to continue. By daybreak, the footprints would be erased by the storm, leaving them with nothing but the fresh scent of new rain and a cold trail. Fortunately for them, Akali had spotted a shelter not too far from their position, but a moonless, rainy night spent in a shallow cave of eastern Ionia was not how the Eye of Twilight expected to find himself and his fellow Kinkou. At least it was better than being caught out in the downpour in the open jungle.

It didn’t seem as though the rain would ease up anytime soon, so they had no choice but to camp here. It was a long trek with the wind whipping water in their face. Their uniforms were sopping wet and heavy by the time they managed to climb the slippery rocks. Once they were at the mouth of the cave, they took a few minutes trying to wring out their clothes as much as they could before settling down for the night. It didn’t help that their backs were always sticking out in the rain when they tried. 

What appeared to be a cave from down below the ledge though had turned out to be a deceiving, tiny alcove with hardly enough room for Shen to tuck himself comfortably within its precious dry space. It was good enough to accommodate both of them if they managed to maneuver and squeeze together. Without a word, Master Shen had wedged himself in its corner and Akali followed suit, sitting herself in front of him.

“Conserve your strength,” Shen said, resting his arms and legs on either side of her. “I will take the first watch.” He didn’t need to say another word. She gave him a curt nod and curled up with her head resting against his chest. Akali was fast asleep. The Eye of Twilight then carefully wrapped an arm around the other ninja to guard her from the wind while she rested. There was hardly any wiggle room if he wanted to stay dry, but Shen didn’t mind being still like this.
