Legends of Runeterra

As Ornn spoke, a glimpse of the ancient secrets buried deep in the snow and wind emerged.

Not only is there the elk spirit 'Haastriel', but also 'Isyayn', the ice phoenix Anivia, and his brother, Valhal, the lord of the storm that swept across the Freljord.

Of course, the secrets of the two only briefly told some parts related to 'Haastriel', otherwise this heavy history would be enough for Ornn to talk about for ten days and ten nights and still not be able to finish, and Ornn didn't like this.

The ancient secrets were told by the gods themselves, but compared to Allura's concentration and her full effort to understand and digest them, Li En's mouth briefly raised after hearing part of the content.

After telling the ancient secrets about 'Haastriel', Ornn returned to silence, but his eyes, like red spots of light, turned quietly to look at Li En.

Li En is the most powerful and intelligent little man Ornn has ever seen. Even if he doesn't say a word, he believes that the other party can understand what he means.

Sure enough, facing Ornn's gaze, Allura showed visible nervousness, but Li En on the side smiled and took a step forward, and at the same time took out the metal disc with a diameter of five meters again.

“Patta~Patta~!”

The bright red and round cherries rolled onto the plate again. Although his entire face was covered with lush red hair and beard, Ornn's eyes, like red light spots, revealed a hint of joy.

"Thank you for answering Allura, Mr. Orn, please."

"Ah."

After that, Li En and Orn remained silent at the same time. One of them kept pouring cherries into the empty plate, and the god would pick it up and pour it into his mouth to taste it.

Finally, when Ornn finished his twenty-seventh plate of cherries, Allura finished digesting the secret and looked up at the mountain-like god.

"Great and merciful Ornn, I would like to ask you why you, Isyaen, and Valhal were able to maintain your will, but why Haastriel became what she is now?"

“I was the first demigod to be born, followed by Valhal and Isyan. After a long time, the rest of my compatriots were born together on this land.

As the original three demigods, we were given most of the power of this land.

Although the ones who were born later, such as HaAstriel, can be considered our compatriots and have long lives beyond the imagination of mortals, they are no longer "immortal" beings.

When the first humans migrated to the Freljord, Isyahn sheltered them.

It was originally just an unintentional shelter, but these weak creatures gave Isyan a 'surprise'."

Ornn paused for a moment. He said more today than he had in the thousands of years since he retired to the Forge Hall.

"Lord Orne, what is this 'surprise' you are talking about?"

“‘The Power of Faith’ – a power that allows our brothers who are born later to gain another form of ‘immortality’.

Isyan did not hide the news, but excitedly told every compatriot about it.

After that…”

Ornn paused again.

"They gained the 'power of faith' by protecting humanity and became 'immortal', but they also lost the 'faith' of humanity and fell into such a state of ignorance, turning into twisted afterimages."

Listening to Ornn's story, Li En beside him also understood why the demigods disappeared, why the boar god Bor was forced into that state, and why the demigod 'Seal Sister' often appeared on the ice field in human form.

The 'power of faith' allowed these later-born demigods to gain 'immortality', but at the same time put another layer of shackles on them.

"Great and merciful Ornn, please guide me on what I should do to restore Haastriel?"

Ornn looked at Allura, and for a moment, he seemed to see the look that the Lu Family once gave him in her blue-purple eyes - pure and sincere.

The lush hair and beard hid all the emotions of the 'God of Hearth', and Ornn's deep voice sounded again.

"Unfortunately, I have never been able to use the 'power of faith', so I don't know how to do it."

"...Thank you for your selfless guidance, great and merciful Ornn."

Although a trace of disappointment was revealed on her face, Allura managed to calm herself down and bowed respectfully to Ornn.

"Ah."

Ornn responded in a low voice, turned his head to look at Haastriel who was lying beside him, and slowly raised his right index finger.

"Hoo~!"

A spark fell from his fingertips, floated down onto Allura, and disappeared into the cloak.

"This is..."

"This is a gift from Mr. Orne to thank you for taking care of Ha'Astriel."

In response to Li En's explanation, under Alola's curious gaze, Aoun nodded slightly.

"Thank you, great and merciful Orne!"

The Hearthfire God looked at Allura in silence, then tried to get up.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Orne."

Seeing Ornn sitting down again, Li En turned to look at Allura beside him.

"Alora, there is a risk of being targeted just by hearing what I'm asking, so I need to block your perception temporarily, okay?"

"Okay Lee En, it's okay."

"Well, you should rest for a while. I will finish asking you questions when you wake up."

"Ok."

Allura smiled at Li En obediently, allowing him to stretch out his finger and gently touch her brow.

"Bang~!"

Li En caught Alora steadily and gently placed her on the soft cushion.

Then he set up layers of barriers to cover him and Ornn.

"I'm sorry Mr. Orne, this is all just to be on the safe side."

Ornn, sitting on the ground, remained silent, his eyes like red light spots quietly staring at Li En.

He knew that he didn't need to speak, because smart Li En would understand what He meant.

"Mr. Orne, I want to tell you in advance that I want to show you something. Please don't get excited in the next moment."

Seeing Li En in such a state, Ornn became more and more curious about what he would say next.

But Li En did not take the next step after he finished speaking, and his ice-blue eyes stared at Ornn seriously.

So the taciturn God of Fire nodded slowly.

"Owen... won't be excited."

"Thank you, Mr. Orne.

This is what I want you to see.”

Lee En finished.

"Buzz~~!!!"

As gorgeous and dreamy as the pouring stars in a summer night, containing a power that transcends all existence in this world, a power that even Ornn himself, the first person born, cannot compare to in essence. It emerged from Li En's chest, illuminating his chest with clarity and transparency.

Ornn's red eyes sparkled, and the original demigod Ornn instinctively immersed himself in this "ultimate beauty and goodness".

Gradually, within this great, benevolent, and selfless power, a mass of flesh that was difficult to describe in words, constantly deforming and twisting, and emitting the purest malice towards all things in the world, emerged.

"Boom~!"

A mountain-like figure stepped on the cracked ground and stood up suddenly.
