"Hm... but when I do that, I think about trying to win." Lux said. "It itself becomes a distraction... bah, I'm no Ionian, let's not kill ourselves trying to change that~. So... like... are the stars alive, or what?"

(( Hate it when that happens. ))

"So given the neutrality of the league, how effective do you think it has been as a mediator, given that it is a definite improvement over Rune Wars."

Sir Vice Emargo,

Life has treated me rather well, though things have become quite busy due to such League matches. As for summoners I might 'hang out' with, there are a few I do keep company. And while she is not a summoner, I am assisting a young healer in training in the cosmic arts.

-Miss Soraka


Soraka let out a quiet chuckle at Lux's previous remarks, and smiled calmly at her next question.

"The stars are quite alive and active. They do still sometimes speak to me, but not as often as they did before... Well..."

She looked off to one side and went silent again.

((Yeah it was a pain.))

"It is, indeed, an improvement over the Rune Wars. There is less of a risk of the world becoming completely torn by magic, and has helped prevent a lot of war, but not all of it has been prevented. Though, as much as the League acts as a sort of 'band-aid' to the problem, there will be no definite solution unless the people of this world have a change of heart."

"Do you believe that a change of heart may happen? I find it doubtful, having observed for centuries."

"Think of it like parenting." Lux said. "They're your parents, and since you demanded independence, in a way, they're letting you do what you wanted to do." Lux smiled. "And... you look really good, you know~."

((continuing from the other thread))

Sam eventually awoke in the Starcaller's Grove, wondering what had happened. She looked around, recognizing she was back in the grove.

"Ugh...wh-what happened?" She asked as she sat up and rubbed her head, "Feels like I got hit by an airship or something."

Soraka paused for several moments, contemplating the question Karthus asked her.

".... I believe that something along those lines can occur if the right leaders step forward to lead the people in peace and to make no qualms between each city."


Soraka gave Lux a bit of an odd look, then down at herself. She never considered herself as 'looking good', so she wasn't especially sure how to react to that comment.

"Thanks?"

Sam would find next to her a large leaf which held a good number of native berries and fruit which were safe to eat and a wooden cup of clear of water next to it. Soraka was sitting on the ground not too far away, eating her own collection of berries as well. She looked over at her and smiled, calmly answering her question.

"Ah, you're awake... You overextended your abilities and passed out, which does happen sometimes! Don't worry. I brought you some food to help you regain your energy."

"Your duty? Even most duties are self serving in the end. Life in the jungle taught me that in the end, things will look after themselves first. But you... you came from another world, with nothing to gain, because you wanted to help...." He trailed off for a moment, then declared, "I like you!"

Sam smiled at the sight of the berries and fruit, which were always her preferred choice of food when she did eat.

"Heh...I guess I don't know my own strength," Sam remarked as she grabbed a few berries, "Still...It felt...strange holding that much power. At first it felt easy, simple. But the more I held the orb the heavier it felt."

"You do." Lux replied, smiling as she approached Soraka. "You've got such a perfect complexion. And your hair. I wish I could get it half this long without my ends splitting like a couple married on a reality show. And your-"

Lux paused at Soraka's chest, mere inches from it.

"Um... those speak for themselves." She said, flushing a little.
