Legends of Runeterra

"Leen!!!"

"Bang~!"

Allura exclaimed and hugged the person in front of her. Her cute face with glasses was full of joy and a trace of fear that had not yet subsided.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry to have made you worry."

"No! It's such a dangerous thing, it's all my fault for not stopping you!"

"I'm sure. Well, put on this cloak first. I made it a few years ago. You haven't worn it yet. It should be the right size for you."

When Li En gently fastened the collar of the cloak for Allura, she realized the current state of her clothes.

Allura tightened her cloak with both hands, and a blush quietly appeared on her face.

"Thank you...thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Hmm~!"

A deep and powerful cough, like a tremor in the earth, sounded behind him.

Allura shuddered and turned her head subconsciously, just in time to see Ornn finishing the cherries on the plate and leaning over.

"Woooooa ...

Due to the different flow of time, Miss Rabbit, who had already exhausted her magic power in the chaotic spiritual realm, screamed, muttered, rolled her eyes, and fell down limply.

"Bang~!"

Li En hugged Alora and gently tidied her messy orange curly hair.

Looking up, Ornn was looking at Li En silently.

Although He didn't say a word, Li En already understood what the 'God of Fire' meant through His eyes.

"She was just a little tired, and she was too excited to see you, so she fainted."

"Ah."

Gently placing the plate in front of Li En, Ao En stood up from the ground.

"Hoo~!"

A palm covered with a layer of obsidian began to smolder, and the dark palm was instantly covered with a substance flowing like magma.

He raised his hand and lightly drew it in the air, and a huge hole appeared in the space like melted glass.

“Hula~!”

A stream of scorching hot air carrying sparks gushed out instantly, and the cooled dark earth began to soften instantly.

Such a scorching breath instantly cooled down when it approached Li En and Alora.

Ornn opened the passage to the 'Forge Hall', looked back at Li En in silence, and then walked in.

Seeing this, Li En smiled slightly, holding the unconscious Alola and followed Ornn's pace.

...

The 'Forge Hall' is made entirely of dark, thick, rough rocks similar to obsidian, and waterfalls made of magma flow slowly and quietly from the cliffs on both sides of the hall.

Two black, cold and hard chains, which were considered thick even for a man of Ornn's size, stretched from the door into the hall.

At the end of the road, a giant anvil, taller and heavier than the walls of Avarosa, stood there quietly.

Apart from the half-forged, still faintly red rough piece on the anvil, there was no forged tool to be seen in the entire hall.

The temperature in the hall, which is obviously a huge forge, couldn't be low, but Li En, who was walking on the dark road, didn't feel the heat at all. The temperature was neither cold nor hot, perfectly suitable for human activities.

Obviously, although the "God of Fire" in front was taciturn, he had already given protection to Li En and Alora.

Walking all the way to the anvil, Ornn picked up the rough piece in front of him.

"Plop~!"

Ornn casually threw the rough piece into the boundless magma lake in front of the anvil, and it melted and sank into it in a few breaths.

Seeing this scene, Li En vaguely understood why Ornn, who was also the "God of Forging" in the legend, did not have any finished forged tools in the "God's Realm" where he lived.

He who only loved the 'hammer' probably threw the tool forged over endless years back into the lava lake.

"Woo~!"

Allura frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

He first looked at Li En, then turned his gaze to look around. After seeing the mountain-like figure in front of him, he immediately withdrew his gaze.

He leaned close to Li En's ear and whispered.

"Li...Li En..."

"Well, don't be nervous, Alora. He is Mr. Ornn, the 'God of Hearthfire'."

"I... huh~! Okay... I... I'm not nervous."

Alola leaned against Li En and took a few slow, deep breaths. The warm, slightly fragrant air gently blew on Li En's neck.

"Go, Alora, fulfill your wish and learn from Mr. Orn about the origins of your elk friend."

"Hoo~!"

"Okay... okay."

Allura nodded stiffly, then slowly turned her head again to look at the mountain-like figure in the distance.

"Woo~!"

Seeing that Ornn had turned around at some point, Allura, who was silently looking at her and Li En, froze all over and subconsciously grabbed Li En's arm with both hands.

"Come on, Allura."

"Okay~!"

Allura replied in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.

"Great 'Heaven God', I have a beast spirit friend who has been lost for a long time. I searched all over Freljord but couldn't find a way to save him until a beast spirit walker told me to seek answers from the great and ancient gods.

Great and merciful Ornn, could you please tell me?"

Facing Allura's expectant gaze, Ornn stared at the vastaya with deep eyes, then turned his gaze slightly to look at Li En who was standing beside her, raised his hand and gently stroked.

"Hoo~!"

The door to the 'Forge Hall' opened again, but this time it led to the spiritual realm.

“Huff~!”

The huge elk spirit snorted and slowly walked out of the door.

The ignorant eyes stared at the tall figure of Ornn, and a hint of intimacy flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Compared to the violent state when it first met Li En, the elk spirit was now quiet and docile.

"Da da da~!"

The elk spirit walked over to Ornn's side. The 'God of Hearthfire' looked at the spirit before raising his hand and gently touching its forehead.

The warm fire spread from the elk spirit's forehead to its entire body. The spirit slowly lay down, closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this scene, Allura's face showed excitement.

When Li En saw Ornn looking at them silently, he reached out his hand and took Allura's hand and walked to the other side.

Ornn slowly sat down in front of the two of them. His figure, which was larger and taller than the elk spirit, did not make any sound.

"Ha Estrelle."

Gazing at the sleeping elk spirit, Ornn recited an ancient name in a deep voice.

Facing Allura's puzzled gaze, Ornn continued his story.

"He is my compatriot, originally called Hesdrok. In the distant past of mankind, he once walked on this frozen tundra like many of my compatriots..."
