He Comes From the Void

"Sorry, Kane, I made you laugh."

The two immersed in joy finally noticed Kane, who was silent on the side. Kassadin carefully wiped away Kesha's tears with his rough fingers, and then raised his arms to wipe away his own tears.

"It's okay, I understand." Kane replied politely, who told this to be Kesha's father, he must have a good relationship.

"Father, why are you here? Also, why don't these people move?"

Keisha has grown rapidly, but her height is still not comparable to that of an adult, and it only reaches Kassadin's neck.

Rubbing her red eyes, she turned and pointed at the motionless crowd in the tower.

In fact, Kane has long seen this group of people who seem to have been immobilized by a spell—they are all dressed in ancient Icathian costumes, crowded together, no matter the elderly or children, they are all terrified in the direction of the gate. gaze.

It's hard to imagine what they saw and what they were forced to come here.

"It's a long story..."

Speaking of why he came to Icassia, Kassadin burst into tears again.

When he heard the bad news and rushed back day and night, and saw the village swallowed by the void, he collapsed on the spot.

As an abandoned child, the first half of Kassadin's life was very difficult. After working hard for half his life, he managed to get a happy family, but it was shattered overnight. A hollow shell.

The heavy blow made him lose the motivation to live, and he became a homeless tramp who bought drunk all day long.

Until the rumors of the Prophet reached his ears, his fire of hatred was ignited.

In order to avenge his wife and daughter, Kassadin is determined to eliminate the prophet who is a helper for tigers, and at the same time eliminate the source of his dark power in one fell swoop.

He used all the human relations he had accumulated—customized protective clothing in Zaun, with the blessing of the Ionian soul healer... Finally, he stole the blade of the underworld from Horok the Ascended, and faced the void alone.

As a desert guide, it has become Kassadin's instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Relying on his rich experience to avoid the horrible things on the road, he came to the ruins of Icacia through all kinds of difficulties and dangers.

He hunted and killed void creatures with the power of a magic soldier, and in the process discovered that void creatures could not detect the phenomenon of this tower, so he naturally occupied this place, using the tower as his refuge and resting place.

At the same time, he also discovered the strangeness in the tower, and the time in the tower was stopped by a mysterious force.

The people here are all frozen, no matter how they touch or communicate, there is no response, a certain state between life and death.

The food from thousands of years ago did not show any signs of decay. After Kassadin ate the food he brought, he survived in this barren land by relying on the inventory in the tower.

After Kassadin explained, Keisha finally accepted the existence of these people and began to treat them as lifelike sculptures. Otherwise, being stared at by so many people will always make me feel hairy.

"Uncle, may I ask, how long have you been here?"

Kane also looked away from the still crowd, and Kassadin felt right, the tower had been removed from time by powerful magic. Everything that existed here at that moment, never changes with the passage of time.

"Less than half a year..." Kassadin hesitated, not sure.

After all, he was decadent for a while, and then it took him a while to collect things and travel, so the days of really fighting against the void were really not long compared with the two of them.

But Kane didn't mean to be sarcastic, he was just lucky to come at just the right time. It didn't come too early to miss the reunion of father and daughter, nor did Kassadin suffer alone for too long.

"What about you? How did you become like this?" Kassadin had doubts about the carapace on the two of them for a long time, and consciously told him that the two had experienced very terrible things.

"The village was swallowed by the void, everyone died, and my mother died, only Kane and I survived..."

When this matter was brought up in front of her father, Keisha burst into tears of grievance. She stumbled and explained the matter with Kane's constant additions.

Starting from the time when I fell into the ground, the symbiosis with the void, I can’t remember how many times I survived and saved each other, and I was misunderstood, saving people and killing people, and finally I talked about the encounter on the way to find Kassadin. to the monster.

Kassadin listened to everything in silence, using the analogy of the days he spent in Icacia, he can almost feel how difficult everything Kesha has experienced.

"Kesha, my daughter, you have become thinner..." Calloused hands brushed across Kesha's face.

Purple facial lines, eyes, and hair, looking at his daughter who has been greatly changed under the influence of the void, his heart is heavy.

He couldn't help thinking that the girl who was the same age as Keisha was just starting to help her parents with some farm work within her ability.

At the beginning, he worked so hard to make money, just to give Kesha a good living condition. He never expected to encounter such an accident. Not only did he not let her live a good life, but he also made her suffer at this age, no... it should be said that it is It is a horror that ordinary people should not bear in their lifetime.

This father, he was too dereliction of duty.

"These days...you have worked hard!" Kassadin patted Kesha's arm.

That short sentence seemed to have exhausted all his energy, and in an instant, he seemed to be discouraged, and he shrugged his hands down feebly. He changed from the avenger who bore the bloody feud to an ordinary middle-aged father.

"It's not hard, I'm very satisfied to see Dad again. Thanks to Kane, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even know you came to Icacia, let alone find you here."

"Thank you so much, good boy." Kassadin let Kane go over, and held Kesha in his arms.

At this moment, he was still immersed in the joy of reunion, and did not realize the seriousness of the matter. Now he feels very good about Kane.

Just now Kesha talked about how Kane saved her in the underground world, taught her how to hunt, comforted her, and helped her bear all the mistakes in the underground world.

It can be said that Kane has fulfilled all the responsibilities of a father for him, so Kassadin is very grateful to Kane.

In order to thank Kane and to celebrate the reunion, Kassadin led the two to the empty upper floor and entertained them with some food and drinks.

"Don't be polite to me. Kane, you have helped Keisha so much, I will raise you after your parents are gone, and we will be a family in the future!"

Kassadin opened a jug of wine and generously poured a glass for Kane.

"Minors can't drink alcohol, but even if it's my uncle's words, I'd rather obey." Kane repeated Kassadin's words, implying: "From now on, we will be a family, a family that loves each other people."
