Universe Update

Two new stories were updated to the Universe - Destiny and Fate featuring Graves and  Twisted Fate  + Between Light and Shadow featuring Kennen!

Destiny and Fate
By Anthony Reynolds

"Ah, Bilgewater. 

It’s a hateful, stinking cesspit of murder and treachery at the best of times… and damn, it’s good to be home. 

My back’s to the open ocean as I row out across Bilgewater Bay, so I’m facing the lights of the port city, shining like fool’s gold in the distance. 

We’d been running jobs in Valoran, in the City of Progress and its uglier, downtrodden sister, but things started getting hot. And besides, the Prince reached out to us with this contract, and the money was too good to ignore. 

Far too good, really, for what looks to me like a wild-eel chase. There’s gotta be a catch—always is—but as I said, the coin on offer weren’t to be sniffed at."

Between Light and Shadows
By Joey Yu

"Kennen had not slowed since setting off from the Great Temple of Koeshin. 

The colors of the land formed a swirling palette as he flitted over hills and cliffs, plains and plateaus. The yordle was like a speeding dot amid broad strokes painted on canvas. 

As the Kinkou’s Heart of the Tempest, he had delivered the judgment of the order’s leadership thousands of times before. But this time it’s different, Kennen thought. This time it’s about the lives of my Kinkou brothers and sisters."

• Squad5 tweeted out some tentative Fiddlesticks changes that he is testing out

"Testing out some Fiddle changes. Could be too much since Fid's already fairly strong, but I think these might be worth giving something up elsewhere if needed."
