Shadow of a Mind pens and arena was an establishment located in Zaun that housed victims of mental damage of various types. These victims were purchased by bored patrons and entered into the death matches held in the same establishment, where a huge crowd would watch and bet as the two squared off and killed each other. One day, Summoner RednaxelaKor, with the help of Summoner JD, entered into the pens to conduct an experiment. Coincidentally, Summoners Raptirius and Cyrus happened to witness this experiment along with a group of wealthy patrons. One of these, a Mister Munk, exited in a fury when Raptirius reacted to his verbal slurs by stealing Munk's hat and forcing him to explain the facility and how it worked.

This made Raptirius a friend in a man named Frugh, a cafe owner who had a gambling problem. Nicknamed "Fluke" by the other patrons, Frugh took a liking to not only Raptirius, but to RednaxelaKor as well, and invited both to attend the upcoming death match. Red failed to stop the man from purchasing the tickets and ended up in the VIP box along with JD, who found himself a date with the receptionist, an undead woman named Ireena. Cyrus, on the other hand, befriended a wealthy Zaunite named Grul, who brought him to the VIP box as well.

The death match was a spectacle of a battle. Cotrik the Merciless and Ice squared off in intense combat. Frugh had bet lots of money on Cotrik while Ireena clearly favored Ice despite her insistence to the contrary. When things became close and money came close to changing hands, both Raptirius and JD attempted to assist their favored fighters. Chaos broke out as the attempt to cheat angered the entire stadium. In the confusion, an assassination attempt was made by Jondor on Grul, but it failed, and Ireena disappeared.

In the crowd were several Summoners, including Sasha. Sasha, wanting to help Grul, leaped to the VIP box, startling Red. Red caught her in a bubble, which sent her into a murderous frenzy. Red imprisioned her in a cage of water and left to help with the riot. Freing herself shortly afterwards, Sasha murders several of the staff before collapsing in front of Red, who freaks out.

Jondor tried again to get through Grul's bodyguard, Clara, as they tried to evacuate. Despite the best efforts of Clara and Cyrus, he succeeded, and the man died. Around this time, Ireena cast a spell that turned all of the undead staff into mindless berserkers, making the rioting suddenly a lot worse. Raptirius himself was affected by the spell and Cyrus had to blast him with considerably powerful magic to free him. Angered by the hijacking of his mind, Raptirius stalked off to hunt the culprit. Along the way, he saved Frugh's life, and the man became eternally grateful.

The valiant efforts of the Summoners present, including Red, a now sane Sasha, Cyrus, Kuronan, Vetilac, and Summoner aide Aeras, minimized the casualties.

JD, Jondor, and Raptirius, however, hunted down Ireena, who revealed to JD that she had merely been trying to save her sister, Ice. When the match had failed to conclude favorably, she murdered the arena owner, who had a strange fascination with undead, and used one of his spells to cause confusion so she could save Ice.

JD helped her and Ice escape the wrath of Jondor and Raptirius and, with a heavy heart, turned her over to the Institute of War. Ice briefly stayed in the care of some Ionian friends of JD's, but the Institute eventually picked her up too.

For terrorism, murder, attempted murder, and the mass manipulation of innocents, Ireena was sentenced to eternal imprisonment in the highest security wing of the institute, along with the likes of Brand and Nocturne. Ice was admitted to the institute's mental hospital, where Summoner Synar and several experienced healers are now attempting to heal her damaged mind.

Note



Clara, her client dead, found herself helping with clean-up efforts after the spell's effects ended. There, she met Kuronan, who decided to offer her a job working for him, which she incredulously accepted.

In the following weeks, Clara moved into Kuronan's estate and became head of his security, quickly rooting out multiple listening devices and thwarting half-baked attempts on his life. The two became close, and eventually began to date. During one such date in Noxus, Clara's paranoia reached unhealthy levels and Kuronan was forced to make them a quick exit. After consulting with Summoner Red, Kuronan discovered that Clara had a device in her brain designed to make her paranoid. Red removed the device in exchange for access to Kuronan's library, escaping his house arrest in the Institute with the help of Summoner Giacomo and returning with the help of Kuronan.

With the device removed, Clara began to become healthier and her relationship with Kuronan became even closer.

Now, Clara has discovered a clue to the people who made her the way she is, and Kuronan has vowed to help her.
