The plot is centered around Runeterra's death; the land, corrupted, is being killed by the will of men. Anger, revenge, fear and despair lead humanity to an endless battle against magic itself. Only a few will realize what is really happening, creating bonds between characters that would have been impossible otherwise.
Edit: The story is already finished. I'll be uploading a PDF with the whole story revised soon. In the meantime, I'm also republishing the revised story in the Archive Of Our Own website.

Won't we be seeing Nidalee in the future chapters?Her former home was the Plague Jungles after all.Or maybe Zyra?
ReplyDeleteNo Nidalee around, but Zyra will have a secondary appearance (some lines, maybe a paragraph but not much more) in the upcoming chapters.
