Though Kalista was often abroad in Runeterra, helping set up camps, forge new trails, and deal with things of an admittedly bloodier nature, she spent just as much time at the Bastion itself. Many of those who had joined up had their own areas of expertise and training, but the Spear never hesitated to offer what advice she could to those among the ranks. Especially if they used her weapon of choice. So when people began flooding in, alarms began sounding, she had some sense of pride at those standing out front, in defense of this place and those seeking shelter there.
The pulsating purple energy was more than familiar to her, she had been at one too many sites of Void born catastrophy. However, all sense of urgency was quickly shocked from her when she saw just who had come from the other side. Her eyes went wide as her signature weapon faded from existence. “It... It can’t be...” It looked like her. Enough that she was recognizable, at least. The changes were shocking, but to survive so long in such a foul place, something had to change.
Suddenly she was forcing her way through the guard’s ranks, brushing them aside with a strength even she rarely used. “Weapons down, all of you! That’s an order!” She didn’t even bat an eye or turn to look and see if her orders were followed. The Spear charged right up to the girl and lifted her by the underarms, enough so that they were eye level at the very least. Though her eyes shone with tears, she spoke with a voice of a parent being reunited with a lost child. “Don’t you ever do something so stupid again, Jinx!”
Kalista barely made it five more seconds before pulling her lost friend into a tight hug, refusing to let go. “I thought I would never see you again...” she whispered as the tears finally began rolling down her cheeks.
