Bolts of lightning stabbed back at the cliffs, to cauterize the wounds in the rock, and a thick, caustic fog blanketed the entire caldera. We saw only blue-white bolts and hellish crimson explosions filtered by the thick vapor. 
The Unexpected Spark
Michael Luo
Her family was probably worried sick...
A blast struck the pipe beneath Zeri, forcing her off balance. She crashed to the ground.
Aphelios
While Aphelios was sent on increasingly dangerous missions to protect the Lunari, Alune trained separately as a seer, using her luminous magic to reveal hidden pathways and truths by the moon’s light.
Aurora
Aurora was determined to calm him down, and though it took time, she earned his trust. But this spirit was unlike the others—with every attempt to help him, Aurora failed.

Ivern and his kin plotted long and hard to overthrow these hated Iceborn, eventually setting sail into the east—in search of the land where the sun first rose, from where it was said that all magic flowed into the world.

Kayle landed, dumbstruck, and Morgana demanded to know if the smiting of wicked mortals included Kilam, whose crime was stealing them away from their mother. 
The Gambler’s Woe
Anthony Reynolds
Won at the tables, was it? Well, here’s to your very good health. Cheers.

The Princeling’s Lament
A land once blessed, was ripped asunder,
Split with lightning and beaten by thunder.
Phantoms now mutter in graves enshrined.
And banshees throng its haunted streets,
Shrieking their woes of black defeats,
A boundless curse upon all mankind.
The Mountain
The ascent is all but impossible, a grueling test of every facet of a climber’s strength, character, resolve, willpower and determination. 
Gragas
Gragas has an eternal love of good drink, but his massive constitution prevented him from reaching a divine state of intoxication.
The Legend of the Darkin
Even so, the horrors of the war took a heavy toll, and those who lived to remember it were perhaps never quite as they once were. 
The Weakest Heart
Ariel Lawrence
I leapt into the air, higher than before, and came down hard, shattering the metal that bound my wrists and the cobbles between us.
Son of Ur
David Slagle
There was a stench in the air that reminded me of the sump-scrapper—a stench strong enough to make my eyes water, when even seeing him bleed had not.

Rayla Heide
Please, leave me. I am not good. I cannot be good.”
Her raven-haired love responded.
The Stranger on the Road
Where once was fear and curiosity and kindness, now there was nothing at all, staring into the unseen distance between life and death as if there were an answer on the horizon if only he looked hard enough. Do the dead see something in the world the rest of them miss? 
In Search of Things Lost
John O’Bryan
“She was the kindest person I have ever known. At least be a good lowlife and tell me why you killed her.”
“I didn’t kill her!”
Whom Does the Desert Know?
L J Goulding
Horok, it was, that struck the first telling blow against your masters. Great and mighty Horok of the Ascended Host, whose name shall live forever.
Message on a Blade's Edge
Michael Yichao
Behind me, armor thuds against oak. Iron hinges and strong construction should buy me more than enough time to—
My thought is broken by the sound of splintering wood, as a massive axe chews its way through the frame.
