Capítulo 161: Arcane [#9]
"..."
"Uhm... Hi?"
"*stare*"
Awkwardness.
That's what he was feeling while looking at the giant green wolf man- a Vastaya?- wearing this dark green cloack, this whole situation sarted rather... Strangely.
-Flashback Noises-
It was another fine day in Piltover, the city of Progress, when Augustus Giopara, of the House of Giopara, opened the window of his room at the highest tower of Piltover to see the Balloons flying by as birds could be heard in the distance. He wore this lavish pure white with trimmed gold robe over his lithe body, his pale crystal like eyes stared onto the horizon as he breathed in and out before saying to himself: "Today... Today it'll work." With a large and positive smile, he rushed to the side table, right beside his bed, and put on his goggles- He normally used glasses, but now he wears goggles because they're harder to break when he is experimentig with his trinkets and machinery.
At the tender age of 14 years old, young master Augustus Giopara seeks the love and validation of his mother, Amelia Giopara the 3rd and the to be like his father, a great Inventor by the name Herus Giopara (He's the creator of many machinery used daily in Piltover and one of the direct descendants of Giovanni Giopara, one the founders of Piltover!) who is his hero. Augustus has the habit of what adults would only describe as playing around with machinery, but he would describe it as... Talking to the machines, since you see, Augustus has a gift! He can swear to you he can hear the metal speaking to him, but he doesn't understand what the things he touches try to tell him, sometimes he can hear their voices saying what they can do, and sometimes he hears them telling him words he can't understand... A language he hasn't learned yet.
He scoffed at that thought, a language he hasn't learned? Pffft! He was the best at learning languages, he has learned Demacian, Noxian, Freliordian, and of course, he has learned Ionian! Four different languages in 5 years of study! He's the best at learning languages, so to think he can't learn a language he spent his entire life hearing? Well, that's just plainly stupid. "Young master Augustus." He sighed as he turned to look at his butler, Adam, who stood there with a disapproving glare as he looked at him up and down, making Augustus sigh: "C'mon Adam! It's not like I'm swimmig in mud!" He joked, chuckling to himself as Adam sighed deeply before the walking stick in his hand bent inside out and a long cane now became a spear like tube, the tube then broke alart and twisted until it became this tiny compact bottle. "At least put on your perfume young master Augustus, please." With a deafeated sigh, Augustus resigned to his fate and applied om himself the sweet aroma of lavander to his skin, making him smell sweet and serene.
Like a Piltovian.
"I'm going to the lab! I'm sure today it'll work." He was optimistic about his failing experiment- He was trying to make a launcher! A platform with enough kinetic strength to throw a large and heavy boulder kilometers away! That's what he wants to make. Why? Because his dad's last wish was to have his ashes scattered across the sky, and he plans on doing it, since his dad gave him the quest after all! He will make his dad proud wherever he is. "Good luck young master." Adam smiled, but as soon as Augustus turned his back to him, Adam wore this saddened expression on his face- Herus died sadly by mysterious means, Adam, however, knows this was an assassination and he fears for the safety of his beloved young master Augustus.
Regardless, he'll be fine.
Standing on his laboratory, August held high to the light a small broken cog, of course he knew this was one of the sources of the problem! He wanted to make so the launcher would launch only when activated, the machine would throw anything that weighted above a certain weight, that's why Augustus can stand on top of the platform without fear of being launched away- He's too light for the launcher to activate alone! He sighed when he remembered the talk he had with his mother, how adamant she was that he focused on his studies over... His dreams. She was the Matriarch of the Giopara House now that his dad was gone, and she had to take care of a lot of things! The Giopara House is a family of providers for the City of Progress, they take and bring new things to the city and have been for generations, but their main focus being merchandise and mass production, they aren't very famous at their icredible constructions- that was until his dad became famous, now everyone else has this expectation that he'll be grater or as great as his father.
His mom, however, believes he has to put his dream to the side and focus on his studies... So he'll show them, he'll show her what he can do, he'll show everyone everything he can do! "I just need a new cog." He turned around and went to his supply room, the room had thick walls because this was also the room his dad used to test explosives, which was the coolest thing he remembers how to make! This place was also fully soundproofed to stop the whole tower of Giopara from hearing the explosions. "Aha!" He found the exact cog he needed, so he turned and walked back to the room just to see a big wolf guy wearing a dark green cloack, just standing there in the room, looking through his boxes and things as if searching for something. Augustus just thought for a second to say something, but the guy just turned around and they awkwardly stared at each other.
"Uhm... Hi?" Augustus didn't know what to do, so he greeted the robber as he slowly got close to the table beside him, there was a button there, there were many scattered projects of his everywhere in the room, including in the ceiling hanging from wire and chains, so imagine the struggle that it was for him to get to the table normally, and now? He tried to be subtle, but he knocked down a few things on the way there! "Oh fuck." He sighed before looking up just as a large hand pulled him away, he reacted and defended himself by using a Shocker, a small device he always carried with him that would deliver a high voltage shock the person, strong enough to make them paralyzed for a few hours. "Fuck!" he heard the growly curse leave the snout close to his face and tried to pull himself free, but the hold got stronger: "Stop it." The beast growled but Augustus didn't stop, he used his elbow to his the stomach of the beast as strongly as he could, but he ended up hurting himself! "Ouch." He hissed in pain as he pulled his arm back, then he saw the large claws close to him and panic settled in, he thrashed and pushed and surprisingly got free, then he made a run for it!
"I'm not going to hurt you-" *click*
"Oh no." He looked down to realize just where he had stepped- the launcher.
"𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗜𝗜𝗜𝗜𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢ⁱⁱⁱⁱⁱⁱⁱⁱᵢᵢᵢᵢᵢᵢᵢᵢᵢⁱⁱⁱⁱⁱⁱⁱⁱⁱₜₜₜₜₜₜₜₜₜₜₜₜₜₜ!!!"
Adam turned his head as he heard the fading scream of young master, his heart felt the tinge of pain as he entered the laboratory that used to be his Master's laboratory, ony to see a hole on the ceiling and no signs of Augustus. "No..." he whispered, dread filling his heart.
-Scene Cut-
Poison asked himself how it came to this?
"Hey!"
He was a good wolf, he was, he rarely killed people nowadays, only scared them till they shit or pissed themselves, so why does Janna punish him so much by putting this boy by his side!?
"Are you ignoring me!?" The words mistske of his life was trying to steal from the Giopara Tower, the wealthiest tower of Piltover, he thought it would've been easy money! But now? He's stuck with a brat rambling about shit he doesn't care! He should've let him fall from the sky into he ground and become a large splash of red. "Hey! Or you help me or I'll go alone!" He sharply and quickly turned around and slammed the annoying kid into the wall, getting his head close and personal to the kid on the wall as he growled in frustation- he would realize later that he was just frustrated that he failed at a steal for the first time!- at the kid: "Listen here, you little shit, i don't care about your family! You could stop following me now, we're in the Undercity now, you'll be dead in five minutes- no, less then that!"
When they were launched from that thing, Poison reacted and saved him and the kid, but after he successfully made broke their fall by using his magic, this kid has been pestering him for answers and his help on getting back home, as if he didn't just try to steal from him! "Fine then. So be it." He clearly smelled scared, but even so he pushed Poison away with a scowl on his face, he was terrified but still kept walking away, leaving the slightly stunned Poison back- Did he juat failed at intimidating someone? Today's the first day he failed at two things, in the span of 30 minutes!
It's all spiraling down from here, he thinks to himself.
But oh boy- Wasn't he right?
"H-hey!" There it was, the sound of pain and fear from the kid, he should just walk away and ignore as he is mugged and probably killed off by someone- "GAH!" He heard a scream of pain followed by lightning sounds, he sighed when he remembered the little lightning thing the boy used on him thay tickled his body. 'Well, i should check on him at least...' He just thought the boy was interesting, okay? He turned around and walked to the alleyway he entered when- there, on the ground stood 7 different thugs and one small kid, panting, his hair and clothes full of dust and dirt as there was a little bit of blood on his face: "Oh wow, you fight well for a spoiled brat." The smirk on his face was brighter than the sun as the boy clicked his tongue annoyingly at him, he pointed the shocking thing towards him with a glare: "I don't need your help!"
Behind him, a large and stronger thug that was downed by his weapon a few seconds ago got up from the ground, black smoke raising from his body like he was a burning building: "ARGH!!!" He shouted as he charged towards the boy, when Poison saw the flash of fear in the eyes of the boy, he felt a deep, deep rage within his being and before he knew it he was already there beside the boy, wrapping his arms around him as he blocked the knife from cutting the poor kid. "Well, you clearly doesn't need me, right?" There was still the grin on his face as he felt the pain from the knife, the thug turned to look at him with a look of fear and shock as he realized he fucked up, he backed away as Poison got up and flexed the muscle where the knife stood stuck.
*shattering noises!- shattering noises! these are the noises of a knife shattering!*
The knife broke apart as the muscle around it cracked and scattered from his wound, his muscle pushing it out with ease. "Well, i guess you like to learn, right?" He looked down at the boy, who seemed enthralled for a moment, and said: "Then i guess you better watch it closely." He raised his hand and a bursting energy exploded from below the poor unlucky thug, vines with thousands of spikes wrapped around the guy and pulled him deep into the earth, where his body and blood would help nature flourish new life. "You liked your private lesson?" He turned to look at the kid, who just was in awe when-
"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐲... 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞!"
Oh no.
