Legends of Runeterra

At night, after the sumptuous dinner, everyone went back to rest.

"Click~!"

Saying goodnight to Gwen under her shy and curious gaze, Ahri couldn't wait to close the door.

"Lee En~!"

"Wait Ahri, I have something to tell you."

"Don't worry, Li En, let's first..."

"It's very important. It's related to your life experience!"

Li En's words stunned Ahri, who had her hands on his shoulders.

"It's related to...my...background!?"

Ali stuttered, no trace of joy or excitement on her face.

Although Ahri often appears silly and naive, that is just because she looks at things according to the rules of the human world. Ahri has been living in the isolated northern part of Shangzan.

In addition, the unconditional love of Li En, the supreme dragon master of transcendent status, means that Ahri does not need to carefully adapt to the human world. Instead, people around her respect her very much.

Under these conditions, the carefree Ahri seems a little naive and silly, but this does not mean that Ahri is really a fool.

Ahri, who trusts Li En unconditionally, has always firmly believed in his promise to her - to help her find her tribe.

As early as when Ahri received the letter sent by Li En in Ionia, she had vague guesses in her heart.

After that, they came all the way from Bilgewater to the Shadow Isles. She seemed to be chattering and looking around with great curiosity, but in fact, Ahri was looking for clues related to the "Twin Gems" in her hand.

Finally, until the end of Viego, the Ruined King, Ahri did not get any news from Li En.

No matter what, the dilapidated Shadow Isles, with their rampant undead presence, are definitely a forbidden place for the living.

At that time, besides a little regret in Ali's heart, he was more grateful.

But now, the uneasy guess hidden in Ali's heart was confirmed by Li En himself.

"Li...Li En...I..."

"Ahri~!"

Opening his arms, Li En gently embraced the tearful Ali in his arms.

“Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick~!”

"Woooooo~!"

Tears dripped onto Li En's chest, and Ali, nestled in Li En's arms, cried softly.

...

After a long time, the crying gradually stopped.

"I'm sorry, Ali, I..."

The white, soft and slightly cool fingers were gently placed on Li En's lips.

Ali raised her head from Li En's arms and looked at him with her slightly red and swollen eyes.

"Lee En... take me to see them, okay?"

"...good!"

"Ah."

Ahri leaned back into Li En's arms, holding him tightly with both hands.

"Om~!"

[Dimensional Walking] was activated, and the two disappeared into the room.

...

While using the fragment of the 'World Rune' of Resoluteness to allow Maokai's body to flourish, Li En used the power of the 'World Rune' to completely purify the Blessed Islands.

Then let Maokai use his roots to spread across the archipelago and explore all the conditions of the archipelago.

After all, Li En is not naive enough to think that Modkaiser and Karsus really left and would not leave any hidden tricks.

More than half of the reason why he looked so tired when Ahri and the others saw him was because Li En had carefully swept the archipelago from inside to outside, leaving the archipelago with an incredibly huge vitality.

This caused Li En to be exhausted at that time.

After a series of efforts, Li En finally felt relieved after completely solving the hidden danger.

During this period, Maokai's root exploration and perception also discovered a series of magical ruins hidden in the Blessed Island.

Among them is an extremely special relic that is dominated by emotional memories and driven by magic.

"Om~!"

The feeling of being grounded came over her. Although she still couldn't accept it in her heart, Ahri thought about her own origins next.

"Inhale~Exhale~!"

Leaning in Li En's arms, Ahri took a deep breath of the air that carried the other's scent.

This familiar and pleasant smell gradually calmed down Ali's complicated heart.

Little by little, Ahri loosened her arms that were tightly around Li En and slowly left his arms.

"Li En, is this...the place where my tribe once lived?"

In the simple yet majestic underground palace, the magic patterns on the walls flashed rays of light from time to time, providing light for the entire hall.

This shows that even after a thousand years, this magical relic is still functioning.

"Yes, they were once members of the Blessed Islands. They used their talents to create a wonderful magic that was guided by emotional memories and combined with magical power."

"Their names are..."

"The Weishaning tribe!"

"Vishaning...Vishaning..."

Ali whispered the name, took Li En's hand, and walked slowly.

"Om~!"

The twin gems emitted a bright white light and floated out from the small pocket on Ahri's waist.

"Li En, this..."

"The name of this twin gem is 'Sunstone'. It was made by the Vishanin tribe and is used as a carrier for the wonderful magic they created."

"And what about them now?"

"It's probably sensing something. Keep inputting your magic power into it. Come on, Ahri, let's go and take a look."

"OK, all right!"

"Shua~!"

The twin gems sometimes separated and intertwined in the air, and sometimes flew together, but they always stayed not far in front of the two.

“Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~!”

As the twin gems emitted waves during their flight, magical lines lit up in the hall.

“Boom! Snap! Snap!”

The dome of the hall opened and stone pillars rose up, forming a path for Li En and the other man to move forward.

Walking along the stone pillars, at the end of the road, they came to a platform with a diameter of dozens of meters and engraved with magic runes.

Ahri looked up and saw that below the platform was an underground space that was a thousand meters wide and filled with groundwater.

The stars twinkle in the water, just like the stars in the sky falling into the earth.

“Crack~!”

An ancient stone pillar engraved with magical runes slowly rose up.

"Li En, is that..."

Ahri pointed to the groove on the top of the stone pillar not far away and asked uncertainly.

"Well, now that we have come this far, let's give it a try, Ahri."

"it is good!"

Ahri waved at the twin gems floating in the air.

"Shua~!"

"Click~!"

The twin gems fell on the top of the stone pillar, perfectly fitting into the groove.

"Om~!"

A bright white light shone from the top of the stone pillar and spread along the magic lines.

In just a few breaths, the entire platform was lit up.

Feeling the warmth on her hand, Ahri pursed her lips and looked straight at the stone pillar.

"Buzz~~!"

The summoning between bloodlines allows the magic power to circulate in Ahri's body on its own.

"Slightly rustling~!"

"Li...Li En, I feel like...many people are talking in my ears!"

"Don't be nervous, Ahri. This is magic being triggered. Calm down, feel the connection between your bloodlines, and use your talents to try to listen!"

"I...I know!"

Holding Li En's hand tightly, Ahri focused her attention.

"Om~!"

"Hello, our tribesmen whom we have never met before..."
