Abyss Watcher In The League V2 39 Ch38: Melody

Grey and Sona walked through the streets of Demacia. They were getting many looks from the people around.

Some were amazed to see Sona, while most of them were shocked to see her with the Abyss Watcher.

Rumors about him had already reached Demacia. Add the official match where he unleashed the Death Soul.

Many wanted to approach Sona, but seeing the Abyss Watcher at her side immediately made them reconsider.

They walked towards a Café. It was decent looking with white tables on the outside with umbrellas connected to the center.

They sat down at the same table and they both held a menu. "I still feel bad that you are paying for everything." Grey said.

Sona waved it off and began making signs with her hands. [Don't worry about it. You are being my bodyguard for free, so the least I can do is get you breakfast.]

Grey smiled and they both looked at the menu again to choose what they want. Not long after that, and a waiter walked up to them.

The waiter held a notebook and a pen before asking, "So, can I get you anything?"

The Abyss Watcher nodded and said, "Yes, I'll have a chicken sandwich with salad and some orange juice." he then looked at the Maven. "What will you get?"

Sona put down the menu and began signing, [I will have the same.]

"Make that two of the same order." Grey said to the waiter, who nodded before writing it down and leaving.

They were left alone and Sona decided to start a conversation, [So, Grey, can you tell me how long have you known Garen?]

"I met him on my third day at the Inst.i.tute. Me and Ahri met Ezreal and Lux the night before that." Grey answered before resting his hands on the table. "So, Sona, why don't you tell me about yourself?"

Sona smiled at his question and answered, [There's not much to say. I do a concert here and there sometimes. I've been getting popular since I was taken by house Buvelle.]

Grey raised an eyebrow, "Since you were taken?" he asked.

The Maven smiled at how he ignored that she said she was famous. [Yes, I was an orphan before my mother took me in.]

"Wow." the Abyss Watcher chuckled. "You and I have more in common than I thought." this time, it was Sona's turn to raise an eyebrow. "I was an orphan too, I was with the Abyss Watchers before my father took me in."

Sona smiled seeing someone she can relate to. Their food then came and they started eating in silence. Mainly because Sona needs her hands to eat and can't make signs.

They finished eating and were about to start talking again, but suddenly, a few people started gathering around them.

They all had a few notebooks with pens, recorders, and a few cameras. At first glance, Sona knew they were from the media.

"Sona, Sona! Can we ask some questions?" "Your last concert was the biggest yet, are you trying to gain more fame?" "Is that the Abyss Watcher?" "What is your relationship with him?"

Too many questions, too quick for her liking. Sona turned towards them and tried to kindly reject them, but they were stubborn.

Grey immediately noticed her being uncomfortable, so he stood up and turned to the reporters.

His height already seemed threatening to them. And the weapons he had didn't help ease their worries.

"I suggest you leave, now!" Grey said glaring at them.

"But we just want-" a reporter started but immediately stopped when Grey drew his sword and had the blade at their neck.

"I don't care." the Abyss Watcher harshly said leaving no room for argument. "Now I'll give you five seconds to leave before I drag your corpses out myself."

Thankfully, they took the threat seriously and they all left. Grey sat down and Sona gained a dust of pink on her cheeks but she still smiled.

[You didn't have to do that.] Sona signed with her hands.

"It's alright, they were bothering you. Plus, I am your bodyguard." Grey replied which made Sona's smile widen.

They stood up after Sona paid for the food. They walked out of the Café and entered the streets again.

"So, what would you like to do now?" Grey asked.

Sona smiled and answered, [There's a wonderful park around here, why don't we go and see it.]

The Abyss Watcher nodded and they both started walking towards the park while ignoring the looks from people.

Inside the Inst.i.tute:

"Yes!" Ahri cheered as she just beat the high score in an arcade game.

"Great job, Ahri!" Aki cheered besides the Vastaya.

Those two, along with Lux, were in the arcade in front of one of the fighting games. Aki and Lux already had their turn, with the summoner doing better than the light mage.

"It wasn't bad, I guess." Lux shrugged with a look of boredom.

Ahri smirked. "Says the girl that barely beat the first level." she chuckled and the blonde glared at her.

"You're really great at this, Ahri." Aki complemented her friend. "I heard they are planning to make an arcade-themed skin, maybe I can recommend you for it."

"Thanks, Aki." Ahri replied as they started walking out of the arcade.

"Why am I not recommended?" Lux grumbled as they walked out.

The Shy summoner looked a little embarra.s.sed. "I-it's for people who are really good at video games, and… well..." she struggled with words.

"You don't fit that description, Lux, sorry." Ahri bluntly stated which made the Crownguard growl.

However, Lux then smiled. "You just wait, I've been just playing with you for now." she joked.

Ahri groaned "That was… just terrible." she said shaking her head.

"Says the girl that barely makes someone laugh without her magic." Lux teased and Ahri glared at her.

They entered the dining hall, where they found Ezreal and Brite sitting together at a table. The three girls joined them.

"Oh, hi, girls." Ezreal greeted as he stopped his conversation with Brite.

"Hi." Lux greeted as they sat down on the other side of the table.

"Morning, Brite." Aki shyly greeted.

"And a good morning to you too, Aki." the Silver Knight replied.

Ahri looked around before directing her gaze to the two males of the group. "Do you know where Grey is?"

Ezreal shook his head, "No."

"I thought he was with you." Brite replied. The Vastayan shook her head in denial. "Well, knowing him, he is either in the garden or somewhere training. Since there's no Abyss here, I doubt he's out hunting."

"Then I'm going to look for him." Ahri stated standing up.

"That won't be necessary." someone said. Ahri turned to the side and saw Kayle, in her new armor, looking at her.

"Kayle?" the nine tailed Vastayan raised an eyebrow. "Why? Did Grey get sent on another mission?"

The angel shook her head, "No, but Garen met with the High Summoners a few hours ago telling them that Grey was doing him a favor back in Demacia. Something about being a bodyguard."

"Oh, right!" Lux said remembering something. "Garen is leaving to Demacia with the King today."

"Why would he need Grey as a bodyguard?" Ahri asked sitting back down.

"People ask Garen to be a bodyguard the whole time." Lux said with a wave of her hand as if it was nothing. "Mostly n.o.bles and the king."

"Trust me, it happens a lot." Kayle added before she left. Having stayed in Demacia before, she knew how popular Garen was.

"I guess now we know where Grey is." Ezreal said before looking at the Silver Knight. "Anyway, Brite, you were about to tell me about miracles." he said bringing up their previous conversation.

"Right." Brite said pulling out a red and white talisman. "This is a Talisman, you need them to use miracles. They are not sorcery but they are still in the same category as magic. I know a healing miracle, a weapon enhancement, attack boost, defense increase, and the most common one between the Warriors of Sunlight, the lightning spear."

"Grey mentioned that one." Ezreal said remembering when Grey told them about Gwyn.

"The way I see it, you're a perfect support for any team." Aki pointed out after listening to Brite's list of miracles.

"Hi, everyone." someone greeted. They looked and saw Annie skipping towards them with Tibbers in hand and Silver following her.

Annie brought herself a chair from another table and sat down while Silver jumped towards Ahri's lap.

"Hi, Annie, Hi, Silver." The nine tailed Vastayan greeted while petting the wolf pup.

Silver then started turning his head left and right while sniffing around as if he was looking for someone.

Ahri picked up on who the pup was looking for. "Sorry, Silver, but Grey isn't around."

The wolf pup pouted and laid on her lap. Ahri smiled at Silver's affection towards the Abyss Watcher.

However, the nine-tailed Vastayan started feeling guilty. She realized that she and Nidalee left without asking if Grey wanted to join them.

'I guess I'll apologize when I see him.' Ahri thought to herself resting her head on her palm. 'Hopefully, he isn't mad… or worse, on a date with some girl.'

In Demacia:

Grey and Sona entered the park and walked up to a fountain that was at the center of the entire place.

The fountain was a big circle with statues around, and around it were a few benches for people to sit in.

The two champions sat on one of the benches and looked around. "So, do you come here often?" Grey asked breaking the silence.

[Yes, I really enjoy the peace this place has.] Sona signed before bringing her Etwahl beside her and started playing some tunes.

"I can relate." Grey said before leaning back on the bench. "My world… isn't this peaceful. Moments like these barely appear."

Sona frowned but then started signing with her hands. [Well, you're in Demacia now, so you can forget about those troubles and relax.]

Grey became hesitant. In his world, you can't relax unless you are near a Bonfire, otherwise, you're just asking for someone to literally stab you in the back.

The Maven saw him struggle in thoughts. She then had an idea and started playing a specific tune.

The Abyss Watcher noticed the change in melody. This time, she was playing something smooth and sensual. Like the gentle breeze around the garden.

Grey remembered that this was not his world. There was no Abyss, no Hollows, no beasts, and no mad people after him now… yet.

He was simply sitting in a peaceful park with a friend. Right now, Grey did what he didn't have many chances to do in the past. Relax.

Time skip: (brought to you by chibi Sona playing on the Etwahl with chibi Grey sitting beside her listening.)

The two champions just sat in the park until it was sunset. Grey decided it was enough relaxing and stood up.

"We should probably leave before it gets too dark." the Abyss Watcher suggested.

The Maven nodded and he offered his hand to her. She accepted and stood up with his help with her instrument floating beside her.

They started walking out of the garden and again into the streets. Sona guided them towards her house… or mansion to be precise.

The gates were golden and had musical notes decorated on it. When they opened, they walked the path that led to the front door.

While walking, Grey noticed that there were many trees cut into different shapes. Birds, cats, dogs, even a life-sized elephant.

When they reached the front door that was a big white double door, it was then opened by someone from the inside.

It revealed a maid wearing a black b.u.t.ton-up shirt under a white ap.r.o.n and a long black skirt. She had short black hair and was wearing gla.s.ses.

"Good evening, Lady Sona. I'm glad to see you again." the maid said before looking at Grey. "And you must be the Abyss Watcher, we were informed of your arrival."

Grey nodded, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise." the maid replied before letting them in.

Sona then started making motions. [Is my mother home?] she asked. Her maids learned sign language from her mother's orders for more communication.

The maid nodded. "Yes, Lady Lestara is home, but she went to bed early. She spent the day at an auction for paintings and returned a little stressful."

Sona rolled her eyes but smiled nonetheless. She knew about her mother's pa.s.sion for exploring all kinds of arts. It was one of the reasons she adopted her after all.

[Very well. Is dinner ready?] Sona signed.

The made nodded, "Yes, right this way." she said as she started leading them through the hallway.

Grey looked around. The carpet was a golden color and the walls were white. There were many paintings of all kinds.

The reached a hall with a very long table with many chairs in on both sides and ends. The two champions sat beside each other on two chairs.

Two other maids showed up and set plates filled with food in front of them. The food was a well-cooked steak with a side of vegetables and some soup.

They started eating. Sona then noticed Grey looking a little nervous. [What's wrong? Don't you like the food?] she asked after putting down her fork.

"No, the food is great." Grey replied before sighing. "It's just that I'm not used to this luxury." he said feeling out of place.

It's not that he never experienced it before. The Abyss Watcher had something like this when visiting the Twin princes of Luthric, but he still didn't experience it much.

Sona silently chuckled, [Well, I'm glad that you at least like the food.]

Their conversation stopped when the maid from before came to them, "Excuse me, Lady Sona?" said woman looked at the maid. "You have a visitor." she said, but she seemed annoyed.

Sona raised an eyebrow, she knew fans weren't allowed to visit at home, so it had to be a n.o.ble.

[Who is it?] the Maven asked.

"It's lord Ferio." the maid replied. Grey picked up on the fact that Sona's annoyance immediately picked up at hearing the name.

"Sona, my love!" Someone yelled as a young man came in through the door.

That person was slightly built, had shoulder length blonde hair that was slightly curled up. He was wearing a black suit with a purple tie and golden rose patterns on the jacket.

Sona sighed in annoyance without making a sound. She took out a small board she carries to speak with people who don't understand sign language.

(A/N: )

Sona asked standing up from her seat and showing him the board.

"Why, I came to see you of course." Ferio replied with a smug smile. "After all, we have a wedding to plan."

The Abyss Watcher raised an eyebrow at the mention of a 'wedding', but Sona only seemed more annoyed.

Sona wrote down.

"But you're mother already approved." Ferio said before his smile widen. "Sounds to me like we ARE getting married."

Sona rolled her eyes before she started writing again.

"But, Sona dear, why would you refuse?" Ferio asked.

'Maybe because you keep taking looks at my chest.' Sona thought to herself before she started writing.

"Maybe you simply haven't seen how amazing I am." Ferio then started reaching out towards Sona. "Come with me, and I'll show you."

However, when Ferio's hand touched Sona's, an armored hand grabbed his arm. "If you want to keep your hands, you better keep them to yourself."

Ferio immediately scowled and pulled his hand away while waving his wrist. "Sona, please keep your undead pet on a leash. He obviously doesn't know his place." he said glaring at the Abyss Watcher.

Before, Sona was annoyed, but now, she was mad. She immediately started writing on her board.

"An undead? Your bodyguard? You must be joking." Ferio snarled at the Abyss Watcher. "He should be honored to breathe the same air, so why don't go to a corner and let the real people speak."

Grey didn't care at all what Ferio thought of him, but Sona obviously did as her glare intensified

"But where could you find a better man?" Ferio asked. The way he asked it made it seems like he truly believed that he is the best.

The Maven took a quick glance at the Abyss Watcher before turning back at the arrogant n.o.ble.

"Sona, please listen to reason." Ferio tried to reach out for her again, but Grey stood between them. "Can you leave, you undead filth."

"Sorry, but it's my job to keep her away from danger, and that includes you right now." Grey replied not caring by Ferio's threats.

Sona looked over Grey and glared at Ferio.

"Are you mad?!" Ferio asked. He then started glaring at Grey. "Well then, how about we settle this." the Abyss Watcher raised an eyebrow. "I challenge you to a duel! The winner gets Sona's hand in marriage."

If Sona wasn't mad before, she definitely was now. This guy just used her as a bet like he owns her.

Grey simply ignored him and looked over his shoulder at Sona. From that look, he was obviously asking her for her opinion.

The Maven had half-mind to tell the Abyss Watcher to beat Ferio up and throw him out as painfully as possible.

However, Sona knew that he would come back again, so she needed a way to permanently keep him away without any bloodshed… yet at least.

She looked at Grey and started making hand signs. [Can you win?] the Abyss Watcher nodded and she smiled trusting him fully. [Well, be my guest.]

Grey looked back at Ferio. "Alright, I accept. But if I win, you will leave Sona alone from now on."

Ferio smiled smugly. "Very well, and WHEN I win, I'll show you how to treat your superiors, undead."

With that, Ferio turned around and left. When he was gone, Grey looked at Sona. "I guess THAT was the problem that Garen was talking about?"

Sona nodded. [Yes, he's been bugging me for a month now.] she then started pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Don't worry." Grey said making her look at him. "I'm going to make sure he leaves you after tomorrow."

Sona smiled in grat.i.tude, [Thanks.] she then looked at the maid. [Do you have the guest room ready?]

"Yes," the maid nodded and started walking. "Right this way." she said as they started walking through the hallway.

Somewhere in Demacia:

Near one of the mountains of Demacia, a portal of swirling darkness appears. Not unlike the one that Grey fell from.

Suddenly, a giant roar is heard as two figures emerged from the portal. One looked like a dragon, and the other was a human who was riding it.

"Where… are we?" the man asked. He heard the dragon roar, so the man started petting the head. "Easy, old friend. Let us not draw attention to ourselves."

The dragon roared in agreement and floated towards the sky where clouds began to gather. Soon, they vanished in the clouds as golden lightning started cracking through the air.

Back in the house of Buvelle:

Grey was walking through the hallway following the maid and Sona when suddenly. "my firstborn… is here."

The Abyss Watcher stopped and started looking around for the source of the voice, but he found nothing.

[Is something wrong?] Sona asked seeing Grey suddenly stop.

Grey looked at her and shook his head. "No.," he said before looking out the window at a storm that started at the top of a mountain. "It's nothing."
