Chapter 162 - Arcane [#10]

"C'mon now, pretty boy, follow me if you wanna be safe." Poison chuckled to Augustus (He came to learn his name- and that pleased his inner beast more than it should've!) as he raised his hand and pulled himself up through pipes, climbing up with ease and finesse. "Wait!" The pretty boy (He was small and soft, don't judge him if he thinks he's pretty!) as his crystal eyes stared up at the challenge of climbing and walking on barely holding pipes like Poison was, hanging from his feet upside-down with a giant and wolfish grin. "I can't climb this!" He protested, looking at how dirty everything here was and bringing a disgusted expression to his face: "That's going to give something... Like tetanus." This brought a chuckle to Poison's lips as the wolf dropped to the ground, gentlemanly bowing to the boy while sarcastically whispering with his pit-gravelly voice: "Oh, your majesty, wouldn't you love to ~๐ซ๐ข๐๐ž~ me?" At that moment, Poison froze as he noticed that when he said 'ride', he meant it innocently, like riding his back, but the inner beast inside him took over for a moment and made it sexual!

Horny bastard.

"Uhm... Sure? Just don't drop me... P-แต–หกแต‰แตƒหขแต‰" He tried to whisper that last part, but Poison heard hi clearly and the sudden shyness made him hesitant at touching the large werewolf. Poison, however, was cursing inside his head at the sudden softness and purring that rumbled from his chest- 'Stop doing this. We just met him!' He cursed inside his head at the puppy that ignored him, enjoying the touch of the boy's hands on their fur. 'For fucks sake, he's a child!' Poison cursed inside his head and the the chimera stopped, freezing completely and stopping at his perverted thoughts for now, only wanting to nuzzle with the boy for comfort and happiness. "Well, pretty boy, you gotta hold on tight or else you'll fall." Before he could ask anything, Poison crouched and used all his strength to jump as high as he could using both his skills [High Jump] and [Swift Jump] before sinking his hands on the closet wall of the Undercity to propel himself further up, he heard the scream of fear that Augustus let out before it turned into a shriek of... excitement.

They were dropping from the highest point around into the opening on the ground as Augustus was screaming in excitement and fear- he really was a strange boy. 'Strange, but fun.' Those were the thoughts of the wolf boy as they fell into the darkness of the ravine below.

-Scene Cut-

"I've... I've never wondered what it was like the life down here..." Augustus was stunned at the sight before him, the slums of the Undercity were terrible! The air was so thick and he coughed so many times already, used to the pure air of Piltover and the clean streets, the white clouds and blue sky, the smell of Lavander and the warm heat of the sun... here? Here it was cold, wet, it smelled like shit and smoke, the air was thick and it hurt his lungs just to breathe it in and out, the humidity made this even worse as there were these sudden burst of smoke from pipes above and around them, bringing this sudden burn and heat that most people seemed unfazed by. "Welcome to the Undercity, pretty boy." Augustus hated the nickname Poison (Seriously? This was his name?) gave him, he doesn't like it because he thinks he's more handsome than pretty- "I'm taking you to ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ- i mean, my home." He swore he heard him growl something before he corrected himself, but he ignored that as he followed Poison through the slums of the Undercity, seeing many beggars trying to get on their way, that was until they saw who they were getting on the way of- They shrieked and pulled away, curling into themselves and running back.

"Why are they afraid of... you?" i mean, he could see it, a big burly monstrous wolf man with big fangs and claws to match? Yeah, scary. "I have a... แดฟแต‰แต–แต˜แต—แตƒแต—โฑแต’โฟ." Even though he growled it out in a whispering voice, Augustus could still hear it clearly, and he nodded without asking... Oh fuck it, he's anxious, and when he gets anxious, he can't control his mouth! "So, are you like, a criminal? You definitely tried to steal from my home, not that i blame you really, seeing everything I've seen of this place- no offense but this place is so bad that i feel like I'm dying just staying here for a few minutes, i kinda feel bad for the people here- no, scratch that, i feel guilty of living a peaceful and healthy life while everyone down herr lives like they're nothing more than rats! I'm sorry i didn't know about this, I'll make sure to do something about it when I'm head of my house and member of the council i swear upon the dead ashes of my father- By the way, why did we stop here and now? Aren't we going to your home? By the way, do you live here or on another section of this place? You jumped really high from that place, and you saved our lives when we fell from the sky after being launched by my machine that you activated! Like, I'm sorry the machine's defective, but it was your fault we ended up being launched in the first place and-"

"Shut up." With one movement of Poison's hand, Augustus found himself bound and gagged by a large and green thorny vine, the thorns seemed ro almost get soft when they touched his skin, not hurting him at all. "We can't call attention to us... Okay, first rule if you wanna survive on the Lanes! Don't call attention to yourself, and if you do, be sure to be scary and ready to fight, understand pretty boy?" Moving his head to nod, Augustus looked around and saw that many eyes were turning towards them, but Poison just huffed a loud and sharp: "๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐ง' ๐š๐ญ? ๐‡๐”๐‡?" And everyone around that heard it scattered, fleeing for their lives, while Augustus only felt this wave of energy pass through his body without harming him. He panted in surprise when an arm wrapped around his waist and he was pulled and carried to the wolf's shoulder, his face turned to the back while his ass was to the front, he could see the tail on the back of this big bad wolf just... wagging.

Huh, he wasn't all that scary, was he?

"Let's go, i don't have all day- gotta feed my baby." Huh? He had a kid? Well, he's probably like, 20 years old or something like that- Reminds him of his second cousin, that guy's big and muscular, but also a musclehead and an idiot. "Gonna take the fastest route..." Before Augustus could ask what he meant by that, they were already moving faster than he could see, everything was blur and the wind hitting him was actually hurting a little, but something covered his ass and he no longer felt the pain. 'I should thank him, i guess?' He thought for a second, but everything turned slowly into more visible things- He still felt dizzy from how fast they were going there for a few minutes, everything was spinning inside his head and he held the fur of his furry companion to steady himself as he waited for his dizziness to leave his body. "Phew..." he sighed as the feeling of nausea left his body after a few minutes.

Only then did he notice the several small little bugs flying around, leaving these sparks of green light behind them with trails, like little flying asteroids. "What is this...?" One the little bugs landed straight into his hand and he got a closer look at it... It was beautiful. "A firelight." The gruff voice of Poison sounded softer for some reason, he raised his head and stared in awe at the sight before him-

Thousands of these little things flying around the air, creatings these beautiful trails of light that illuminated a giant tree alongside a few trees in the background, this was the most beautiful thing he's ever seen in his entire life.

He stared at it and-

Exploded.

"Oh my fucking Gods! All of them! This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! Considering i have a mirror in my room- I just, what the fuck! Why is this so amazing!? They're Firelights you said? They're adorable! I wanna like, fifty- no, a thousand of them in my room by yesterday!" Augustus had a harsh childhood, growing up he was forced to be this righteous person- Talk less smile more, be perfect at everything you do, learn as much as you can-

And now?

He feels like he can say whatever he wants.

"This is amazing!"

Be as loud as he wants.

"I love this place!"

Be as expressive as he wants.

"Oh shit-"

Fall in mud and roll around, be happy for once in his life- Not need to wear a mask to hide his desires. And as he looked up to the wolf that made this possible (The one who he was, at firts, angry towards and now grateful), he smiled his most genuine smile.

And Poison?

Poison understood now why his inner beast chose this boy... That smile was too pure for this world.

-Author Notes-

I guess i forgot to tell you guys how he looks like!

He has pale white skin, short bright silver almost white hair, crystal clear blue eyes, and a softness around him! he's also small for his age, at the height of 1,40 centimeters or 4'6 feet.

He was born with the magical ability to communicate and understand metal and machinery in a way no one else can, he also has a magical Resistance to cold due to his Freliordian ancestry.

He is generally well behaved around people, but then when he is alone he curses a lot and is very expressive of his emotions, he also likes to cuddle. And who else likes to cuddle? That's right.

Acid, my boy was sleeping at home while Poison went be Robin Hood.

2nd day of pride everyone- How are you celebrating this safely? I am reading smut and watching gay shit.
