Legends of Runeterra

"Leona, the sun is great, but the moon..."

"That's enough! Diana, stop talking about these weird and twisted heresies and come back with me!!"

"That's enough for you! Why can't you just trust me!?

Why don’t you even want to go and see those murals! ? "

Facing Leona's suppressed angry gaze, Diana burst into even greater rage than her.

"Those are all heresies. What can a mural prove? There is no evidence to prove their authenticity!"

"What about the incomplete ancient book I found in the collection of the Fiery Solari Sect?

That must be something from within the sect, not some unknown mural found in an abandoned cave!"

"..."

Faced with Diana's questioning, Leona fell silent.

"That's right! Because I am an outsider, not a pure Lakor, so what I said is heresy, right?"

Under the shining starry sky, Diana's eyes sparkled.

Yes, she is not from the Rakkor tribe.

When a group of Solari hunters found her, her parents had been taken away by the cold, and they wrapped her in a swaddling blanket and protected her in the middle.

Judging from the way her parents were dressed, they were strangers in this land and had obviously traveled a long way.

Instead of abandoning her, the hunters brought her back to the tribe and took good care of her.

Ever since Diana was old enough to understand, she has been studying the teachings of the Solari with the utmost diligence out of gratitude for the kindness of the Rakkor tribe.

While reading ancient books, she gradually discovered that all records about the "moon" had been deliberately erased.

When she raised this doubt to her teachers, she was severely reprimanded and forced to work hard.

This result also caused the rest of her peers to begin to distance themselves from Diana.

Only Leona, the best among the apprentices of the Solari, treated her with a friendly attitude from beginning to end.

The two often had heated debates, and thus forged a deep friendship.

But at this moment, under the light of the equally great 'moon', facing himself who had obtained the 'gift' and was wearing silver armor, this close friend still clung to the prejudiced doctrine.

Gazing at Leona quietly, Diana's brows suddenly relaxed and a look of relief appeared on her face.

"I understand Leona, let's stop here."

"What did you say?"

"I say, let's stop here!"

After Diana finished speaking, there was no hesitation on her face, she turned around and was about to leave.

"and many more!!"

"Stop!"

"What? Do you want to purify this 'heretic' of me?"

"..."

Faced with Diana's questioning, Leona fell silent.

After a while, she raised her eyes burning with golden sun flames and looked at her friend.

"Go back with me!"

"why?"

"Anyway, come back with me and let the priests judge us!!"

"Oh! Do you want me to die? If you have the guts, stop me!"

After Diana finished speaking, she raised the moon blade in her hand and her body turned into a ray of moonlight and rushed towards Leona.

"Boom~!"

The Moon Blade and the Sun Shield collided, and the Sun Fire and the Moon Fire collided.

"How is it? Can this power make you feel the reality of the 'moon'?"

"Come back with me..."

"Then try to keep me!"

"Boom~~!!"

Under the witness of the stars in the sky, the star spirits of the sun and the moon launched an increasingly fierce fight on the top of the Giant God Peak.

...

"Boom~!"

Sunfire and moonfall erupted on the platform at the top of the Targon Peak. When the two gradually subsided, a sharp streak of moonlight stopped at Leona's throat.

The moonlight gradually faded away and turned into a magical curved blade.

Diana stared at Leona approaching with eyes filled with the bright "power of the stars", with a faint and complex smile on the corner of her mouth.

"You lose, Leona."

"..."

Pursing her lips slightly, Leona tried to make a final effort.

But the next moment.

"Shua~!"

The moon blade slashed down, and Leona subconsciously raised her shield.

"Hoo~!"

The expected impact did not occur, but instead a whistling sound was heard in the ears.

Leona put down her shield, moved to the edge of the peak and looked down.

A ray of bright moonlight was rapidly moving towards the foot of the Giant God Peak, and finally disappeared among the clouds halfway up the mountain.

"..."

After a moment's silence, Leona turned her head to look at the sun and the moon which gradually disappeared after bestowing the 'Gift', with a very complicated look on her face.

Finally, Leona, standing on the edge of the peak, jumped lightly and turned into a golden light and flew downwards.

...

The Cult of the Fiery Sun is the most sacred place of the Rakkor tribe and also the place with the most abundant military power.

Stationed here are the Knights Templar - 'La Horak', who have been trained by the Fiery Solari since childhood and represent the sect's highest fighting force.

They protect the sacred temple from being defiled by evil ones, and they also protect the priests and apprentices who represent the future of the Solari.

Under the night sky, the Templars were dressed in ancient Greek armor, holding shields and spears.

In the cold night wind, it stands quietly like a towering sculpture.

"Hoo~!"

Suddenly, a clear whistle was heard in the night sky.

The Templars looked up suddenly and saw a bright moonlight falling rapidly at an incredible speed.

In a single breath, they arrived hundreds of meters above the temple.

As the moonlight gradually subsided, a slender figure in silver armor emerged.

"Enemy attack!!"

"Woo~~!!"

Diana looked at the Templars below blowing the horns and more fully armed warriors running out from all parts of the Temple community without any fluctuation on her face.

At first, she did intend to leave, but after feeling the surging "Star Power" in her body, Diana changed her mind.

The murals can be said to be forged, and the classics can be torn up and burned, but what about this "power of the stars"?

Diana really wanted to see what excuses those high-ranking priests who rebuked her could come up with after seeing this pure "Star Power".

Hovering quietly in the air, when Diana saw the high-ranking priests in gold and red robes slowly walking to the center of the square under the protection of the Templars, Diana floated downwards.

Hovering three or four meters above the crowd, Diana slightly restrained the "Star Power" surrounding her body, and then lowered her head slightly to look down at everyone.

"It's you!?"

Surrounded by the priests in the center, the thin but strong-boned old man stared at the figure in the air with a frown.

"Yes, it's me, Your Majesty."

"Diana, what's wrong with you, why..."

"That's enough! Don't you see my 'gift'?

This is the 'gift' I received at the top of Mount Targon, the 'gift' bestowed upon me personally by the equally great and merciful 'moon'!! "

"Buzz~!"

The bright moonlight illuminated everyone. Under the tribesmen's doubtful gazes, the faces of the priests were as bleak and ugly as the moonlight.
