Legends of Runeterra

"Om~!"

On the boundless sea, a tiny space vortex bloomed and opened.

A figure wearing a robe that was particularly large compared to his body size walked out of the whirlpool.

The sea breeze gently blew the ear-exposed hood that covered the entire head, and the green curly hair and two long white and purple ears swayed slightly in the air.

The purple eyes were only half opened, revealing a lack of interest in everything. There was a faint black circle around the eye sockets, like a night owl who had been staying up late for a long time.

"Huh~! We're finally here, Shadow...Island!?"

Vigus widened her eyes and looked at the vast sea that came into view.

"How... could this be... the legendary Shadow Island!?"

Vigus quickly pulled her two short hands out from the overly long sleeves, took out the magic map in her arms and examined it carefully.

As the magic power surged, Vigus compared it several times and finally concluded that the location in front of her was the former Shadow Island.

"It looks like the map is broken. I'd better go back and find a correct map."

Vigus casually threw the 'broken' map into the sea and turned to enter the space vortex.

"Whoo~~!"

"Um!?"

Vigus turned around suddenly and saw a hazy white mist suddenly appearing about ten meters away from her.

As the mist surged, it formed a staircase that extended all the way to her feet.

"This is..."

Vigus hesitated a little.

She ran away from home specifically because she was fed up with Bandle City, where she had lived since she was a child.

This bizarre home that belongs only to the Yodel people was simply too sweet for her.

Although Vigus's parents are dedicated, she can't seem to find her 'Yordle spirit'.

She couldn't find any like-minded friends, and she always stayed in her room, feeling unhappy.

After a long time, she finally found her own friend - Shadow.

"Come on Shadow, no matter what, let's go take a look."

"..."

The shadow did not answer Vigus, but it followed her firmly.

The next moment, Vigus decisively stepped onto the misty stairs.

"Whoo~~!"

The white mist swept through, and Vigus only felt a fluctuation in space. When she came to her senses again, she appeared in a dilapidated and desolate city.

To be honest, Vigus quite likes this style. It is a perfect match for her, a melancholy Yodel girl.

Looking up at the sunny sky, Vigus pulled up her hood, trying to cover her face completely.

"If only... it were a little darker."

"Indeed, Helia is more beautiful at night."

"who!?"

"Shua~!"

Although she didn't sense any presence, a calm and gentle voice sounded from behind Vigus, which made her turn around quickly and look vigilantly.

With black hair and black eyes, a gentle and peaceful temperament emanated from this human.

"A harmless, but boring guy..."

This thought came to Vigus' mind, but at the same time, her purple eyes involuntarily lingered on the human's hair and eyes for a few more times.

Black - is Vigus' favorite color.

"Sniff sniff~!"

Her small nose twitched slightly, and Vigus sensed an extremely faint magical aura unique to the Yodel people from the human opposite her.

"I'm sorry I scared you by speaking so suddenly.

My name is Li En, and I am the current owner of the Blessed Light Islands. Welcome, Miss Yodel, who has come from afar!"

"Miss!?"

"Uh...it's just a respectful title, if you don't like it..."

"No, just call me that!"

Due to the issue of seniority, Vigus, who had always been regarded as a problem girl by the Yodel people around her, felt a different kind of respect for the first time.

Vigus felt a slight interest in this boring human being in front of her.

"My name is Vigus, Li En, you are the master of the Blessed Islands. Do you know that there is a place called Shadow Island nearby?"

"Oh, Shadow Isles, it's this place, but I changed the name back to its original one."

"what!?"

The half-opened purple eyes suddenly opened wide, and Vigus's pale face, as if she hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time, suddenly revealed a silly and cute look.

"But... Shadow Isles... isn't it shrouded in a dark fog filled with eerie, undead creatures?"

"Yes, that is true. However, I have ended the Curse of Ruin. The black fog and the undead that were created by it are no longer in existence."

"Plop~!"

"how come..."

Vigus sat down, but was caught by the dark shadow behind her halfway.

The petite body of the Yodel girl curled up slightly under the black robe, and her whole body exuded an even stronger aura of decadence.

"Uh... Miss Vigus... are you... okay?"

"..."

"Nothing... Nothing..."

Vigus slowly stood up, now that the Shadow Isles were gone, there was only one place left in this bright, colorful world where she could go.

There, she could get what she had long desired - enduring melancholy.

He raised his little hand hidden in his overly long sleeves and waved it gently in an attempt to open the portal.

"Om~!"

Magic power surges.

"Pfft~!"

"Huh? Why can't it be opened?"

Vigus was slightly stunned, then waved her hands and tried a few more times.

"I'm sorry, Miss Vigus. I have isolated the entire Fuguang Island from the outside world. If you want to open the portal, you must get authorization from me."

"Ah~! Then please give me the authorization."

With a sigh, Vigus looked at Li En with a dejected look on her face.

"Of course, but I also have a few Yodel friends. I see that you look melancholy, Miss Vigus. Do you mind talking to me? Maybe I can help you."

"..."

Looking at the human in front of her, Vigus, who was always depressed and had no interest in anything, was silent for a while.

Maybe it was the fact that Lee En was respectful and not as noisy as the Yodel people, or maybe it was the color of Lee En's hair and eyes.

Vigus hesitated for a moment and opened her small mouth.

"I came here to find a..."

...

"I see. If you just want to seek peace and quiet, the Fuguang Islands are now in ruins and need to be rebuilt. Besides, I will not gather too many intelligent creatures here in the future.

If you like, I can set aside a separate area for you.

There, no one will disturb your peace.

Miss Vigus, you can...enjoy your solitude to your heart's content!"

"Enjoy...solitude!?"

"Yes, utter solitude!"

Staring into Li En's dark eyes, it must be said that Vigus was moved by Li En's proposal.

'Complete solitude'!

This is perfect for a melancholy girl!

The next moment, Vigus's eyes were half open and half closed again.

"Okay, thank you, Li En!"

“Haha~! You’re welcome, Miss Vigus.

Without further ado, please follow me."

"Ah."

Vigus sat on her own shadow, looking depressed and dejected as she followed Li En away.
