Chapter 4 - Purple ball and Bath in the lake

Pov's Riven on

I sat on the bed with that silly face that had appeared on my face.

What man was this that in a few hours awakened feelings and sensations in me that I

hadn't felt for so long? Feelings like well-being, harmony and happiness. It was like I was

light again, I didn't think about battles or wars anymore, I just enjoyed those simple

moments of empty head and smile on my face.

I thought about reporting this experience to Syndra, as I loved talking to her about

anything, and I'm sure she would be very happy if I told her what happened to me. Not to

mention that I was already a little homesick for the feared dark sovereign, which for me,

feared and dark had nothing.

I pulled my backpack and started looking for something among my few clothes and

things, I reached into the bottom of my backpack and found what I wanted, I took a small

cloth with a small ball that was wrapped in that small piece of fabric, I straightened the stuff

and put my backpack down on the ground again. I carefully placed that cloth in my lap and

opened it very slowly. And there was my precious means of communication and

transportation.

It was a little purple sphere that Syndra had given me as a gift, like an amulet or

something, whenever I needed to talk to her or go to her, I just used the sphere and the

magic was done.

I held the sphere with both hands open and waited until it levitated, if it didn't levitate it

meant Syndra was either asleep or doing something else. I waited some time and she

finally got up from my hands, I got a huge smile on her face and waited for her voice.

-Good afternoon, Commander. That I owe the honor of your call? -I heard that sweet

voice I was sorely missing.

-Good afternoon, dearest sovereign. I would like to talk a little with you, would you

have a few minutes available? Or would my dearest sovereign be too busy with the

presence of her private ninja? -I spoke in a mocking tone of voice.

Syndra snorted and then responded.

- I would like to send your most excellent commander to the fucking house, would it

be possible? -Syndra spoke in a serious tone of voice, which made the sentence even

funnier.

-You rude! -I spoke in a rather sad tone of voice, pretending that I was upset with his

words.

-You started! – She defended herself. -But tell me, it's only been three and a half

weeks since you left here, what made you call so early? Did you find a quiet shelter that

won't accuse you of witchcraft for talking to a little purple ball? Syndra said in her normal

voice now

-Wow Syndra, are you learning to talk shit like that with Zed? Or have you always

known how to speak and I didn't? -I teased her.

-I learned from a certain white-haired, foul-mouthed Noxian commander! -She gave a

light laugh.

-It's official, I broke relations today. -I spoke with a snarky tone.

- Wow, were you sad? -She laughed. -Now seriously, something happened for you to

call me and I want to know. -She spoke again in her normal tone of voice.

-Old, big, imbecile, hitting, tree, falling, hill, rolling, hurting, hurting, cut, blood, burning,

tearing, hitting, head, dizzy, hiding, bamboo, hut, fainting, hot man. – I spoke a few words,

thus starting a little game with Syndra.

-I still don't know how I have the ability to ask you things. And I'm even more

impressed that I can understand the shit you talk about. -She gave a heavy sigh. -Now let's

translate. – She sighed again and I laughed – You picked a fight with an old man, probably

owner of some business, you did it and he went after you with a big one. You called the old man an imbecile and if you didn't hit him you ran away, the big guy must have hit you or you

were dumb and hit the middle of a tree, you fell downhill and rolled, hurt yourself and made

some bruised cuts and tears in the body, someone must have been serious and was

burning and oozing blood and the bark. You hit your head and got dizzy, you hid in the

bamboo and I don't know how you found a cabin, you passed out and you saw a hot man.

Was that commander? -She said in an indignant and mocking voice at the same time.

- I said I love you? What a wonderful person you are, Syndra! -I laughed and spoke in

an excited tone of voice.

- Go to shit Riven. How difficult it is to say things! Why do I always have to guess and

translate the crap you say? -She said still indignant.

-Because it's fun! And I love to "battle" for you. – I made a kissing noise and then

laughed.

-But I got the story right? -She asked curious then.

-Yea! -I replied smiling.

-Thank you sir for granting me the gift of understanding the language of mere

imbecile animals! 'She must have raised her hands to heaven when she said that.

-But the big guy hit me in a tree, I wasn't the one who hit her! I laughed. – I was going

down your hill here and I hid in the last bamboo wall you have before going down. I don't

know how or why, but I found a cabin hidden in the middle there, and in that cabin there

was a hot man with a good heart and a wonderful body. - I forced a scratch on my throat. - I

mean, wonderful medicinal gifts, and who took very good care of this beautiful young

woman named Riven. -I spoke in a proud tone of voice.

-If I throw myself off the hill, will I also be rescued by a hot man? - She gave a

mocking laugh, and I returned.

- Zed is Syndra ninja, not veterinarian to take care of animals like you! – I gave a nice

laugh and listened to Syndra cursing at me.

-Wow Riven how funny you are today, have you thought about taking it up your ass

this week? – She said with her annoyed tone of voice

-I've had enough! -I gave a light laugh

It's been a long time since I've been listening to Syndra call me all possible names

while I've been slacking on her and Zed, and we've been laughing and talking nonsense for

a long time. Of course I told her the story, but the only thing she told me was. "If you play

friend, hot and wonderful man, we don't think all the time! ". And it was obvious that I would

respond to that sentence with something to match. "That's why you grabbed Zed, isn't that

right?" I needed to answer that for her. And again I got a wave of curses from her.

Sometimes I regret teaching Syndra nonsense, but I confess I had a lot of fun with it. But at

the end of everything, she told me that when I wanted to, I could just use the sphere and

show up there to tell her the story better and maybe a few "something more"

I made jokes about Zed during the whole conversation and it pissed her off as she

couldn't hide her feelings for the ninja she met by chance. And of course after discovering

this I started terrorism with her because of it. And sincerely, I appreciate him getting along with her, as it makes her more relaxed and happier. And it seemed that he also reciprocated

her feelings for her, but he doesn't assume anything, so it's no fun to keep telling this little

story.

I felt a weight in my eyes and so I spoke to Syndra.

-I think I'll sleep a little, my head is heavy and I'm sleepy again. – I said a little sly.

-Go dear, rest this body to use with the hot man in the cabin! - She laughed

- His name is Yasuo, Syndra! – I scolded her.

- But he's the hot man, isn't he? So I can call it both ways. -She said in a mocking

voice.

-Not Syndra! He's Zed, the ninja stings from the galaxies for sure. - I didn't miss the

opportunity to slack her one more time.

- Riven... I hate you from the bottom of my heart. – She said in a calm voice, as if she

couldn't stand the ridiculous jokes I made all afternoon.

- Oh, and thanks for this super efficient means of communication and transport,

Syndra! Leave Piltover to shame. – I said happy. -Until another time! - I said goodbye.

- You're welcome. Sweet dreams terrorist project! – She replied back.

- Good afternoon, sweetheart! - I blew a kiss to her and then put the sphere in its

balled up cloth.

After I said goodbye to Syndra, I tucked the sphere into my backpack and settled

under the bed, and pretty soon I was out.

----------------Time Break--------- A few hours later --------- Yasuo's room. --------------

I woke up with a bit of difficulty, as my body still hurt a lot and I insisted on sleeping, but my

throat unfortunately screamed for water.

I created shame on my face and decided to get up, I stretched and got up with a little

difficulty, because my wound was still very painful. I went towards the kitchen and when I

got there I found a sweet and organized kitchen. In front of me there was a table with four

chairs and a small vase on top, this vase had some flowers inside and they looked like they

had just been picked

The kitchen floor was well swept and clean, to my right had a door, but I didn't dare

open it to see what was or what was inside. To my left was a sink and beside it was a wood

stove. The sink had a cabinet underneath and was probably the place to store the dishes,

above the sink there was a large window and glass. And it was probably what kept the

house light and airy day and night. I bent down with some difficulty and looked in the

cupboard for a glass and then poured water.

I really needed it, the water renewed my energy and my throat, of course. I left the

glass on top of the sink and went towards the door to breathe some fresh air, I left the cabin

and felt a light and refreshing breeze pass through my body, my white hair even moved with that small breeze. Winter would probably start in a while, as the winds were much cooler

than before, and thanks to the coming winter, everything would be covered in snow, which I

loved. But I should enjoy these last refreshing autumn times even more.

I opened the door and saw the bamboo wall I had come from, to my left there was

more bamboo and to the right there was a small field, the back of the house was covered by

a roofed porch, I went to the right to see the field better and I had a spectacular sight

Surely Ionia's nights were the most beautiful in all of Valoran.

I came across the field, that it was not very big, its grass was kind of beaten and the

field ended in a small climb that led to somewhere else, I walked to the

other side of the house and really fell in love with the view. There was a lake, let's say

huge for that piece of land hidden behind the bamboo grove, it went from end to end in

a part furthest from the straight of the field. At the edge was a lonely, full tree

of leaves yellowed because of the season. There were also some fireflies floating

by the location and other colored lights that I have no idea what they were, I think they should be

mutated fireflies or whatever. I admired the lightly starry sky with the beginning of

night and watched the other trees that protected the lake at its back, as if

formed a barrier of trees in its back.

I stood there admiring the landscape, the lake, the fireflies, the towel and the clothes

on the floor, a wonderful man taking a bath. OOPS! THAT'S RIGHT? BUT SUCH A THING

CANNOT BE HAPPENING!

I came across Yasuo bathing almost at the edge of the lake, I quickly started to feel a

slight burning in my cheeks. He was facing away from me and was bathing his body slowly,

I put a hand over my mouth to hide that mischievous smile that appeared on my lips.

I leaned against a pillar that formed the porch and puffed out my chest to ask.

- IS THE BATH GOOD? – He turned quickly to see where the voice was coming from,

he looked surprised when he saw me there, but then he gave a beautiful smile and

answered back.

-Would you like to join me? The bath would definitely get better. - He looked at me

with that mocking face that only he knew how to do.

Any and all thoughts I had were completely neutralized by that sentence

-In another opportunity dear! I'll wait for you inside so we can bandage them later. -I

warned him as I went into the cabin to hide my shame.

- IT'S WELL SWEET, I'M ALREADY GOING! - He answered me.

-DON'T CALL ME CANDY! -I replied as I went back to the cabin, I entered with a

sullen face because he had called me sweetie.

-OK MY LOVE, I'M ALREADY GOING! – He yelled again.

I opened the glass in the kitchen window and with some difficulty stuck my face under

the window to answer him.

He was making a heart with his hands as he looked at me with that mischievous smile

of his.

-Burn in hell with this sweetheart heart! – I slammed the window and showed my

middle finger behind the glass, I had that goofy smile on my face as I walked towards

Yasuo's bed

I heard a laugh from the street, couldn't help but laugh a little too, sat under the bed

again and settled in there until Yasuo came back inside to clean my cut and sew it up.

I confess that I was really looking forward to taking off my clothes and running to go

shower with him, every moment I was near Yasuo, I could see that he was becoming almost

irresistible to me, and anytime I would not hesitate to try it
