THE PATH LEADING TO SHURIMA IS AN OLD ONE, mapped and remapped over and over again in search of something not described in ancient legends / he’d find himself in such ‘ adventures ’ sometimes, crossing the desert once more and expecting to find ANYTHING that’d tell him what really happened. it’s been too long already, too many years and countless explorings and discoveries that made his name shine BRIGHT and they’d have noticed / they would’ve returned.
( or maybe they just didn’t want a kid like him. his uncle certainly didn’t. )
❝ time and place, ezreal. time and place. ❞ a soft sigh, another quick entry to his journal before it’d get too dark to see. there’s no good in dwelling in such dark thoughts anyway. it’s always been HOPE ( and a tidy bit of too dangerous curiosity ) that took him into the deepest caves and temples and forests, into finding treasures claimed LOST by everyone else.
if he could find all of those legendary artifacts, he’d stumble on them at some point. all he needs is just a little more patience / not that he ever knew what being patient truly meant.
Not in a physical way. More like emotionally. As much as the teenager tries to prove otherwise, she can't tell how she is feeling about all this mess. But, what mess?
Leaving her tribe, her family, her home, to a carefree, and reckless adventure with no final destination planned?
Hell yeah, that is a mess.
But deep down, she is loving it. Letting aside her disciplined and restrained attitude feels like a relief to the "Lunari". Devoting herself to a cause which is hers. Refusing and changing her fate...
The sixteen year old lets out a small but still sincere laugh at her thoughts. But still, it feels like forever since she heard it; the Moon, how she likes to call this voice. The small whispers caressing and messing with her senses everytime that she sang for her. But, the more steps she took, the less she could communicate with it.
According to her notes, one year and a half passed since she left Mount Targon and roved in Shurima. So the ex-apprentice stops for a few instants, admiring the dusk sky and its mandala of beautiful, cold colors.
Maybe someone might listen to her, try to put her in danger, even kill her, but she can't care less.
She just wants to hear a sign.
