Revenant: Noxus

Story

The story begins with a young boy sitting on his bed, with the sounds of chaos outside his home. By the window his mother begins to cough blood, afflicted by a sickness but joins him at his bedside, reassures him everything will be fine. A bang on the door rings out and she ushers him to hide under the bed and stay quiet. The door bursts open as two silhouettes enter, taking his mother and dragging her outside. Despite his mother’s words, he crawls out from under the bed and runs towards the open door.

​

Awakened from his daze he wipes the dust and blood from his mouth revealing he is afflicted by the sickness. He turns his attention to the gates of the capital city, surrounded by soldiers as they attempt to break it down. Believing his mother to still be alive, he learned all who were afflicted by the sickness were brought here.

​

Now that he is older and stronger despite his sickness, he stands at the city gates ready to save her. The screams ring out throughout the city as the bells toll, he fights his way through the town, making his way towards the castle. Arriving at the bridge, he hastily pushes through and manages to make it past the drawbridge. He's reached his goal, but now must move on alone.

​​

Fighting his way through the castle guard and breaking the seal protecting the throne room, he confronts the King. He demands the King to tell him where his mother is being held, only to be met with vague warnings. Angered by the King's response, he marches towards throne only to be blocked by the King's most elite guard, Sir Godfrey. Sir Godfrey warns him to stand down, to which a fight ensues. While the fight takes place, a Doctor escorts King Kevin into a secret escape route behind his throne.

​

The two warriors clash in a fierce battle, and despite being clearly outmatched Sir Godfrey falls but not without dealing a near fatal wound on his foe. Clutching his wound, he gives chase and enters the secret passage.

​

Once inside, luck shines it's light on him as the way out is blocked by debris. As he begins to approach, a strange light grabs his attention. Turning toward it, he sees a strange orb-like entity floating in some sort of cage. The King notices him and alerts Doctor of his presence and she turns to face him.

Snapping his gaze away from the distraction, he drags himself towards the Doctor, demanding she step aside. She refuses and desperately halts him, pleading to listen. He ultimately decides to humor her, and demands to know what the caged entity is.

She explains its origins, detailing its accidental unearthing decades ago. Though she nor does anyone else know what it is, it appears sentient and is capable of communicating through thoughts. Attempting to learn more about what it was and what it wanted, it replied,

"Flesh and blood."

The King fearing for the safety of his kingdom refused and ordered its immediate destruction.

In retaliation, it unleashed a sickness throughout the land causing immense suffering to anyone afflicted. Every attempt to contain it would only result in more casualties as grew stronger. As the sickness worsened, another futile attempt was made to destroy it. Sending their sick knights who were already nearing their end, something peculiar happened. 

By consuming those it infected, it weakened the entity enough to be able to seal it temporarily. Unfortunately, this was the only way to keep it from growing and so the King made the only decision that would keep his kingdom safe.

Hit with this revelation, he stumbled back staring at the Doctor. He once again demanded to know where his mother was, only to be met with silence.

Stricken with grief he and anger, he channels what strength he has stomps towards the King. The Doctor tries to intervene only to be knocked aside. The King just barely avoids his attempts to kill him, but eventually is caught.  

Just as he is about to be killed, the entity suddenly bursts from its confines, impaling the King and consuming him. A powerful blast shatters the room, filling it with and ominous mist.

The entity is free.

It rushes out of the secret room, escaping into the throne room and crashes through the window. It sets itself high into the clouds, blocking out the sun as a storm emerges from it. ​Slowly crawling out of the debris of the collapsed room, our protagonist rises to his feet.

He feels strange...

​

The pain he should have felt from that blast is nowhere to be found and the wound given to him by Sir Godfrey appears to seal itself. The castle rumbles, as he makes haste towards the way he came and returns to the throne room. Once there, he witnesses the presumed dead Sir Godfrey rise to his feet. The knight turns to face him, letting out an otherworldly roar as mist spews from his armor.

Sir Godfrey once again, the mist granting him new abilities, making him a tougher foe. After finally defeating Sir Godfrey once more, the nonexistent pain suddenly surges through our protagonists body and he collapses unconscious.

​

Blinking in and out of consciousness as he sees the castle getting farther away, being dragged by someone. The once open sky is now covered with black clouds and glows in an ominous color, everything fades to black.
