Black text on white background which reads:
The poison that was Zaun’s air flooded her lungs with smog and the tang of rusted metal. Ame remained in the shadows of an alleyway, a half-smirk hiking up her scarred lip as her blue-grey eyes wandered over the vial of shimmer in her gloved hand. It pulsed faintly, mimicking a calm heartbeat, so different from the one that galloped in her chest.
“We’re gonna make history,” she whispered, her words slurring as a dribble of saliva ran from the corner of her mouth. She wiped it away, unconcerned.
She looked up and frowned at the beautiful, silver-twisted spires that rose into the sky, cutting through what little moonlight reached Zaun. Those Piltover towers mocked her, reminding her of everything she wasn’t and everything she’d lost. Every scar, every bruise, every morning waking up somewhere unfamiliar because she’d mouthed off to the wrong enforcer.
She hated them—their polished stone, intricate gold filigree, and shimmering hex gates that brought a spool of new problems to her life. But her anger burned just as hot for the enforcers that prowled Zaun as if they owned it. They didn’t protect her; they controlled her. Or tried to.
But Ame was a problem solver. It was the one thing she excelled at when her mind was sharp, and her body capable. Months of sneaking into labs, collecting scraps, and perfecting her work had led her here.
The railgun at the edge of the factory district hummed faintly, its energy crackling in the gloom. Its absence of guards—distracted by chaos elsewhere—was the perfect opportunity. Ame crept forward, the smog clinging to her legs like sludge.
Glancing around, she slotted the shimmer vial into the detonator, twisting it into place with a satisfying click. It began to hum, the glow painting her face in streaks of violet. Grinning, she bolted, her heart in her throat.
“Three…two…one…”
The explosion tore through the air, flooding the streets with fire and shattered glass. Smoke rolled into the alley…
I finished #Arcane, Act 2 last night and man, I am a bunch of feelings.
So enjoy a spoiler-free, fan-fiction drabble!
