Curse him.
I pull myself to a sitting position against the debris, my blood now black in the dim Zaun light.

To the small handful of faculty who survived her escape from the academy, it was like the earth had been torn open into a twisting whirlwind of razor-sharp slag. The building ripped itself apart, forming an impenetrable suit of black armor around Rell as she crushed those who stood before her, flattening seasoned soldiers with a lance heavier than a mountain.
But then she smiles, winks, and says, “You’ll want to watch this next part.”

“The god-warrior!”
In that instant, the boy made his choice. He would not go willingly. Until his last breath, he would run.

The family needed coin to keep her well-fed, and to buy her medicine.

Wind and rain whipping at him, he turned to survey the rest of the Noxians.
Eventually, Trundle came to a great crack in the ground. While he was glad to be out of the wind, he soon found himself lost in a maze of twisted, howling canyons that seemed to sink deeper beneath the Freljord than the mountains rose above it.
Though she has slain countless Void-constructs, she understands that many of the people she protects would see her as a monster herself. Indeed, her name has begun to pass into legend, an echo of the ancient horrors of doomed Icathia.
