Background


Zaun

As Lionel sat in the Zaunite interrogation suite and couldn't help but feel a little...underwelmed. He'd expected to be hauled into a dark and drafty back room. A room that had one flickering hexlight, smelling of the last occupants terrified piss and a single bloodstain where someones head would've rested.

What he got was a luxury hotel suite in uptown Zaun.

It was very nice as hotel suites went, but he couldn't help feel incredibly wrongfooted. Lionel sighed. That was probably what they wanted. They'd got him as he was helping unload Demacian liquor. Two PsiKorps, or at least he assumed. Thay'd asked him to come with them and he had, no fighting, no clash of wills, no heroic flight. Besides, he didn't think it was the best idea to get into a fight with two PsiKorps officers and half the Zaunite dockside security.

The door swung open and the two PsiKorps entered. One of them sat opposite Lionel, the other standing next to him. Both of the men had non-descript faces, their only features being faint purple veins across their face, symptoms of extended Pharmakon II usage.

"Do you know why we brought you here?" The Psikorps sitting in front of him smirked.

"No idea." Lionel was determined not to antagonise them, he had no desire to end up in an unmarked grave in the Zaunite straits.

"Perhaps these will refresh your memory." The agent placed a small bag of a glowing purple dust on the table. Pyrikhos.

"We have reason to believe that you were trying to smuggle pyrikhos to your allies in Piltover." Lionel then realized what was going on. This was a stitch-up.

"You've got that wrong, wouldn't I be trying to destroy the pyrikos, given it's corrupting nature." This was accompanied by a mocking smile. Bang goes the plan of not antagonising them.

The standing PsiKorps gives Lionel a dark look. "We lost friends at the Battle of Shurima, it isn't wise to make jokes." "Don't paint yourselves as the victims." Lionel snapped.

"I had people I knew taken captive by the Noxians and shipped off to Zaun. Not one of them came back, so spare me your reproaches.

The Zaunite's face twisted in fury, raising a glowing purple hand towards Lionel. The other PsiKorps placed his hand on his shoulder. After a hushed conversation they left the room, the furious Zaunite throwing one last malicious look at Lionel.

Lionel remained sitting. This was going to be a tough one to sort out.

I'm excited to see this story. I feel like I should write some more stories of Synar's Journeys as he created the Veritama. They "Children" of World Runes that he has created.
