Arcane [#3]

"So...?" Amongst the rustling of cloth and the tearing of it, a young curious voice echoed. "So?" A rough and hoarse voice echoed the question back to the younger voice, there was an awkward pause as the younger voice once again asked: "Have you, like, always been a wolf?" Poison, who was fiddling with cloth and trying to make himself a new pair of pants stopped for a second, his sharp claws freezing before they tore through the fabric to make a hole for his tail as he thought for a second of his answer... It's been a good month since he became the beast he now was, he got used to using his claws daily for different things, and got used to his more animalistic instincts like sniffing the air whenever he was curious about something, growling when angry, having his tail wagging around when he's happy, or simply walking in circles right before he goes to sleep. "I mean, no." His ears flopped down, the golden ring on the tip of his left ear sagged it down a little bit, he turned his head to stare at the smaller kids who were curiously talking to him.

Poison became something akin to a friend of sorts of Vander, more of acquaintances than anything else but the curiosity of the younger ones was not to be underestimated! So, now there's two kids staring curiously at him as he worked within the corner of the Last Drop, Vander's bar. "So you became a wolf?" Little Man, aka, Ekko stared at him with stars for eyes and deep wonder as the equally young and curios Powder stared at his tail, as it swang from side to side. "I mean, yeah." He felt a little bit uncomfortable to talk about his experience with death and rebirth, but he tried to ignore it since they were only kids and didn't know what they were asking! "So, uhm, what are you doing now?" Powder was a small and shy blue haired girl that reminded Poison of someone- He couldn't quite place it inside his head, but she reminded him of someone! "Pants. Well, at least that's the plan?" He raised the piece of cloth that was torn and cut, with stitches of patched cloth of different colors and patterns, it wasn't a well made pair of pants, but it was a pair of pants!

[Your Skill [Tailoring] level up!]

He chuckled to himself before he tried to wear the pants, his feet claws tearing easily through the cloth and almost ruining the pair of pants, but he managed to wear them! "Awn." he huffed, his ears dropping alongside his tail to express his sadness- He looked like a grumpy puppy, a murderous adorable grumpy puppy! "Well, wanna see what i made?" Trying to cheer him up, the young Powder pulled put this metal can with corks and turns, Poison raised an eyebrow at that for a second before he sniffed it curiously- "What's that?" His tongue was about to lick it when Powder pulled it back as said: "Well, this is Miss Whiskers!" She quickly pulled the lid open filling it with nails before she closed it, twisting it around- she released the thing and it trembled- Poison expected it to explode so he spread his arms around to protect the kids, but it didn't explode at all!

"It doesn't work though." He sighed in relief as the young Powder smiled at him, though her smile carried a little bit of her sadness from it... He winced as a sudden thought of gutting her intestines spread onto his mind, huffing and puffing, he sat back down before he picked up the little thing that didn't work previously... "Well, i bet if you keep working on it, It'll be the most powerful explosive you can think of." To make them a little bit entertained, he waved his hand on top of the can-like explosive before he put it on his [Inventory lvl 1] and watched as the two kids stared in awe as he waved his fingers around: "How did you do that!?" Little Man shouted, not only getting the attention of a few costumers and Vander to their corner, but also making Poison chuckle as he said: "Magic~"

-Scene Cut-

Poison dashed across the uncharacteristically empty streets of The Lanes, he was running on all fours, it was faster like that thanks to his [Sprinting lvl 5] skill that increased his Sprinting speed and decreased the SP consumed as he sprinted, his claws clicking against the stone streets and casting sparks about as he ran- Behind him came running two Enforcers, he just made the mistake of stealing on of these guy's weapon! He did not regret, in fact, he was having a thrill! He was guiding them to a trap right now, where he would kill them and steal everything they had on their person, the bodies he would dispose of them later by putting them on his [Inventory] and dealing with them later!

He dived across a hole and dove down, dodging the shot from the other one he didn't manage to steal from. He quickly activated his [Stealth] skill as he sank his claws to the wall and climbed it, he felt his saliva dripping from his open jaws as he hanged upside-down from the wall in a way his snout was poiting down and his tail was raised to the sky- He slowed down his breathing as he watched the two Enforcers walk below him, he felt the Adrenalin kicking in and everything slowed down! He watched as his drool dropped from his open mouth onto the helmet of one of the Enforcers, making them paused and place a hand on top of their head just to see the slick and strange liquid.

Slowly they raised their head and stared up- he grinned when he smelled their fear, he jumped towards them with his claw extended forward and sank his teeth into their neck while his claws tore them apart! He spinned around and made sure to also kill the one beside, licking his lips at the taste of blood- he whined, shaking his head, he didn't want to enjoy the taste of blood! Spitting out the blood from his lips, he winced as his claws sank into his flesh as he scratched his ithy skin. "Fuck." He just wanted to steal from them, not kill them!

That wasn't his plan!

"Fuck-" He coughed out the blood from his body, looking around at the two lifeless corpses before he decided- he needsnto get rid of them. He pulled them both into his [Inventory] and dashed away, got to the nearest river and dumped their corpses there- of course he kept their equipment! Two hand guns, two metal batons, four of these spheres that when thrown they can wrap around people, and two gas tanks for their protection against the impure air. "Need to go home..." He whispered as he looked around, tapping his feet on the ground as a root surged from the ground and wrapped around his wrists and pulled him through the underground to a hidden tunnel before they weaved around themselves again and closed the hole to the hidden tunnel that Poison made. Each and every one of these tunnels lead to his home, where his tree grew and where he made his home. "Need to go home..." He whined again, maybe if he worked on his farm more he will feel better? Yeah, away from blood for now.

Away from people.

He ran through the tunnel for one hour before he got to his home, where he got rid of the blood from his jaws, claws and fur by diving into the light green river of chemicals... He sighed and released his magical power while inside the river, focusing on purifying it from everything, he focused on cleaning it from the poison it carried, praying to Jana to help him as he did so! He wanted to focus a little bit more of carving an image of her, a statue, so he could have something to pray to and something to give her future worshippers an image of her holiness... Yeah, of course.

He lost count of how many hours he stayed there in the river, just floating above he surface, slowly but surely purifying those waters that would hopefully stay relatively pure for a while... He need to try and learn how to make runes, or at least magical items that can help him with his desire of purifying the Undercity from this thick and poisonous air and water. His "farm" was nothing more than a few plants close to the river, they were growing steadily, some even showing signs of bearing fruit! He had a few trees already, but the main tree of his home was enormous now! He focused mostly on it, so it grew to a massive and majestic size! Several little firelight bugs started to fly around here, he didn't know why but they liked him and would land on his fur most of the time or land on his ears and snout.

He pulled some large pieces of wood and some nails and started making a makeshift home for himself, it wasn't a good home but with his magic and nails he could make something! He lived on top of the main tree, where he was putting this platform to make it flat enough so he could make bring some furniture here, he also started to make defense plans in case someone tried to invade his home.

There was so much to do.

Poison spent a lot of time on the lanes, sharpening his skills on crime and breaking in, so much he soon decided to scout out on top- on Piltover! He is going to steal from the rich to give it to himself, the poor, and therefore becoming the Robin Hood of the Undercity! At least that's his objective, well, get richer that is!

Vander probably won't approve of it, thankfully he doesn't care about what the old man would think and decided to climb that to above the walls and steal from them regardless. He had to prepare himself in case he was found though, so he just looked through the illegal market for smoke bombs and bought some, well, stole some that is- He also got wire and a hook, just in case he needs in.

It's time to steal from the rich.

-Author Note-

So, dear readers, I'm open to suggestions here on who you'd like to be the love interest or who what you'd like to read on this series- I know a few things about the Universe of Runeterra, maybe I'll add some aspects of the game lore to this world as well, like the Sun Gates to be Zaun's Hextech Gates, but for boats.

Might introduce a few other characters from the game as well, like the Devi- I mean, Teemo.

Twitch? Maybe a few sapient cats too.
