PORO SNAX! 

@heascended​​:  " we are similar , you and i . "

Leona  adjusts  the  strap  going  around  her  front  that  holds  her  shield  tightly  on  her  back.  She  wonders  what  he  means,  aside  from  the  obvious,  of  course  ——  them  both  being  Ascended.  Surely  he  didn’t  mean  just  that.   ❛   Do  elaborate,   ❜   she  bids  him,  tilting  her  head  ever so  slightly,  indicating  that  she  is  ready  to  listen  to  his  explanation  should  there  be  one.

" 𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐄, 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐌 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄, 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐖! "

    KAYN STARES for a moment, sharp brows narrowed narrowly. “I took the scythe, and now I cannot be bested. With this, I can finish what’s been s ruthlessly started here.” He then lifts his chin up.  “I won’t let anyone stop me, not even you.” He knows better than to threaten an ascended, but that voice in his head spurs him on, whispers that victory is in his grasp. 

The Infernal fixed a smoldering look at the larger being, not responding for a moment. His presence was solid, powerful. Just shy of suffocating. Was he a threat? Maybe. But he didn't immediately attack at the sight of her and Akali didn't sense any malevolent intentions. Just... curiosity. For now.

"I'm here because of my previous patron, whose remains are the ashes you see around you." A hint of a smirk crossed her features. "We struck a deal, you see. I did his bidding, and he was supposed to assist me in my endeavors afterward. In the end, he failed to keep up the end of his bargain." She crossed her arms, flames dancing around her form.

' oh, I wasn't planning on it, ' Xerath gestures dismissively, and that is about as many emotions as he can show in his form, if not with his voice. truth be told, he wasn't planning on doing it the first time as well, but alas, mistakes happen. ' why would I want to destroy something I want to rule? I just need to deal with a few... obstacles on the way. '

he hovers slightly higher, then comes back down and hums. as long as Nasus continues to spit worthless threats at him, Xerath can always play this game. "we will stop you! you won't do this! I won't let you!" was he ever asking for permission or help on his lengthy quest of restoring his own version of justice to the empire? cannot recall anything like this.

' stop me, huh. as if that went so well the first time. and the second, ' he's gloating now, because as long as this wound still hurts the ascended, he will be rubbing salt into it - there's not only psychological part to it, but also this maniacal satisfaction. reminding Nasus again and again what happened centuries ago, if he never lets go — it would be even better.

a sigh and the sound of his magic crackling louder and louder. 

GRAVE SUGGESTIONS meme starters ! ✿   not accepting. @heascended​  has whispered:  ‘ sometimes, you’ll find it hard to keep going, but you always will. ’

Very few have been the instances in which her life seemed to have indeed crumbled down right in front of her feet, like a WOODEN BRIDGE that no longer existed for it had ultimately collapsed underneath the weight of gravity and that, therefore, signaled the ultimate end of her journey   ──   And yet, in spite of their fortunately scarce presence, each occurrence of this type had been precisely carved into the most profound depth of her subconscious as an EVERLASTING MEMENTO for the future: if she had already survived through all this, then she could indeed continue to grab life by the throat. This is why the vulpine woman does not really hesitate before graciously bowing her head in agreement to his previous utterance, a gesture emphasized by the curling of glossed tiers upwards into the vision of a dulcet and genuinely thankful simper   /   TO BE TAKEN CARE OF is something that she rarely, if ever, has the chance to experience ‘pon her own skin.
