He entered the room and saw Lissandra, Ashe and Sejuani talking with a rather small person, who was a yordle, holding a hammer larger than she was, next to her was a equally small mage yordle and a small, furry yordle, "So you were saying, Poppy, you wanted to help us in the war?" Ashe asked.
"You are exact, I would like to personally meet your elites to see what we need to forge our own military around how to assist you."
"Talking about elites, this is Omega, a new recruit who just reciever a promotion to Elite Enforcer," Lissandra said as she signaled Omega to come closer.
"What does he bring to the table?"
"Being a demon-born."
"Are you sure of it? I would like to see it for myself."
"Well, I guess you should do so."
Omega turned to Poppy. His scars opened once again and the spikes emerged, his wings grew and gain red scales once again, his left forearm fell off and a new forearm grew in its place, the original forearm changed shape to make a hammer-like shape. His horns stood upright and his eyes were totally black, "This is what he brings to the table."
"Impressive, and I must ask, why the hammer?" Omega smirked and pointed at the hammer she had behind her, "Oh… Well then, I am eager to see all the other elites. Lulu, you should be keeping notes of this and Teemo, well, nothing just tag along."
"Shall we go meet them?" Sejuani said as she gestured Omega to follow her. The group left the palace.
"Are you sure you control him?" Poppy whispered to Sejuani.
"Yes, of course. He is loyal, like the rest of them and I would give a lot in return for his power."
"Hopefully the cost is good enough to keep him on our side."
After a few minutes of walking, the group arrived in front of the military barracks. They walked through the camps with once again the soldiers bow in as Sejuani passed and soon they arrived in front of the gate to the Elites camp. Sejuani knocked and nearly instantly a note was heard, "It's me," Sona opened the door and slightly bowed for both Sejuani and Poppy, "This is Poppy, the Yordle Ambassador, she is here to see you and the Elites," Sona nodded and played a loud note on her instrument. The Elites walked out of their tents and stood in front of them, "Listen up! This is Poppy, the Yordle Ambassador, she is here to see you, the Demacian Elites."
"So these are the famous Elites, can you tell me what each one specialises in?"
"Yes, this is Garen, he is an enforcer along with Jarvan and Omega. This is Lux, she is a mage who is specialized in long-range magic and she is one of two back line elites. Those two are Vayne and Quinn, who are very talented bounty hunters and are very good at assassinations. Over there next to Jarvan is Fiora, who is a talented fighter, she is a perfectionist and so her skills are superior to the norm and finally this is Sona, she is our medic of sorts, she can help with healing, magic output and she is a foreseer and so we can see the outcome of many battles, but not precisely."
"Very well. Shall we return to the palace to talk about the military actions that we will take?"
"Of course."
The four of them left, the Elites grouped up in the middle of the court yard. The group chatted. Sona wandered back into her tent, Omega decided to follow her.
"What do you want to know? The consequences of your actions? What your wife is doing? What is it?" Sona said bitterly.
"What's wrong?" Omega asked in surprise. Sona slumped on her bed, she looked as if the life had been drained out of her, her face was pale and her eyes were heavy, she didn't move for some time before sitting up.
"Sejuani counts on winning all the battles in the war, and to do this she needs to sacrifice many of the elites. You included."
"What do you mean? Does she not care about us?"
"She has been waiting to crush Noxus ever since she join the military, and with you, she has a chance, but with these types of battles, thousands die and the rest are taken prisoner, the body count of some of your comrades are well above one thousand like for Lux, who only hits the area she is told to and doesn't really care."
"Is there anyway to spare the Elites?"
"Of course, but only if you remember what I say and do everything at exact times."
"What type of things?"
"Tomorrow, the Elites have a training session in the dojo."
"Yes, that was planned, and what do I have to do?"
"You will be paired with Fiora, this will be hand to hand training, so at 5 seconds in the fight, she will go for a takedown and you must put her in an inverted armbar and roll her onto her back, once that is done flip over her and pull her arm down with you, normally it should break her shoulder, this will prevent her from fighting the war's initial stages."
"Ok…"
"I know you don't want to hurt them but if you don't Fiora, Vayne and Jarvan will die. Those are the three who are going to die if it gets down to it."
"When will Vayne die?"
"Vayne dies during a battle on the second day of the fighting, she gets hit with a cannon shot, and on the third day Jarvan dies saving Quinn for Darius. An act of love, I would call it."
"Okay, and when does the fighting start?"
"Soon, when it does, Sejuani will tell the Elites and you need to remember those dates, and tomorrow you will need to break Fiora's shoulder. It will hurt her, and she is the only person that can know what I told you, this you tell her when you visit her in the hospital tomorrow evening. When the elites go to sleep after the dinner, you can leave after 30 seconds in this tent, and then you will have to rush to the hospital so that there is no-one in her room and you start a conversation, she will be bitter and you have to tell her why and how I showed it to you, but not that you can hear me. Am I understood?"
"Yes, of course, but is there a less painful way for her?"
"No, since you won't be able to fight with your demon form."
"Okay, well, thank you."
