BRIDGE TO THE PAST
Excerpts from the journal of Grand General Swain
A shame Keiran failed to enjoy his father's longevity, not that he'd have been able to enjoy the high office at all had I not designed it. The Grand General's chambers harbor many secrets. My secrets now.
The elder Darkwill was well versed in the art of necromancy. It will take me decades to pore through his library of grimoires, but that will be time I can steal, as he did.
I made a discovery today, one of Boram Darkwill's first dabblings with death magic. It seems he was attempting a resurrection of some sort. But whose return was he seeking?
The previous regime was exacting in its manipulation of the historical record, but there is just as much a story to be told by what's missing from the record as there is by what remains.
I found it. Deep in Old Noxus lies a memorial that speaks of former grandeur and a fall from grace. Therein lies the man Boram Darkwill attempted to rouse from his eternal slumber.
It's still in there, clawing at the walls. I would almost pity it, if I thought it capable of suffering.
The Anchor
LEBLANC
I haven't had the pleasure of your company for some time, Grand General.
SWAIN
You have my favor. That is enough.
LEBLANC
And yet, I suspect you're here to seek the Black Rose's assistance once more.
SWAIN
The blood of the Demacian prince. How much remains?
LEBLANC
After the last charade? Enough that you should be very mindful of how you use it. Whatever you intend had best be brief.
SWAIN
No chicanery this time; my need for subtlety is nearing its end. I must secure my position with bloodshed, and that requires a blunt instrument.
LEBLANC
It sounds as if you have one in mind.
SWAIN
Let me show you.
The Return
We've come full circle: a Grand General in need of a champion, the Black Rose seeking to wind its roots further into High Command, and a fallen warrior starved of battle. This time, it will be different. Boram managed to revive the body successfully, but all he got was a mindless beast with a single instinct: to devour life. I can't fix a thing so broken, but I can rekindle its purpose, and that may be enough for my plans. The ritual is prepared, and the body still hungers.
"Drink deep of the blood of your killer, son of Noxus, and live again." - Swain
