Revenge and hatred (extra chapter)
There are rumors that a woman will be promoted to the new leader in each generation, but this answer only raises more questions about which is the "real" deity. When she speaks, is it really her own voice? What price does it take to get her favor in exchange?
Bron-Darkwell can answer the second question. Although Black Rose helped him win the throne, he refused to include Black Rose's hand-picked advisors into the council, so LeBlanc took the necessary extreme measures. She manipulated a young nobleman, Jericho Svein, to uncover the affairs of the secret society, and LeBlanc had herself and several other most important conspirators executed...... At least on the surface, she was put to death. It didn't take long for her to come into contact with Darkwell personally, only to find that he was becoming increasingly paranoid and panicked, fearing his fate as a mortal.
LeBlanc promised him the secret of immortality, and she began to slowly poison Darkwell's mind while giving him great powers. Under his rule, Noxus' cult of power reached an ominous level, and they then designed the saga of Svein to end in disgrace on the battlefields of Ionia.
But Svein, who gained courage from the forbidden knowledge inside the Immortal Citadel, did something completely unexpected, successfully pulling Darkwell from the throne and taking Noxus for himself. The new general didn't care about his reputation in the eyes of the world, only about the glory of the empire - such a person could hardly be corrupted. Countless centuries later, LeBlanc couldn't help but ask herself, had her nemesis finally appeared?
Her actions have repeatedly pushed Runeterrae to the brink of all-out war. After a desperate battle, the ice fields of Freljord, the mountains of Titan, and the deserts of Shurima began to spread the darkest magic again, gradually surrounding and closing in on Noxus. Maybe LeBlanc was still the Pale Witch who betrayed the Iron Wraith Spirit, or maybe she was just one of many shell apparitions. Either way, her influence apparently has never died since time immemorial.
The black rose hasn't really bloomed yet.
In the darkest place in the world, Cassadine cut a burning rift, and he knew his days were numbered. He was a guide and adventurer in the Shurima region, and later chose to settle down among the peaceful tribes of Shurima's southern region - until that day, his village was swallowed up by the Void. Vowed revenge, Cassadine assembled a number of arcane artifacts and forbidden spells in order to deal with the dangers ahead. Finally, Cassadine set out for the wasteland of Acacia, ready to face any void creations in search of the self-proclaimed prophet, Marzaha.
Cassadine was originally a lowly foundling, employed by caravans in the desert of Dasai, protecting their valuable cargo and acting as bait to lure predators away. He had narrowly crossed the desert alive many times, and he was no longer a mere decoy, but gradually became a guide for the caravan.
Whenever someone who speaks a foreign language asks for his help, he will say "Cass Se-A-Dean?" It means "Who does the desert recognize?" But their Shurima language was always ambiguous, so he was affectionately called Cassadine, and became a sign in the alleys and markets of Berguien. He spent years exploring the ancient ruins of his homeland, making his employers a fortune, but it wasn't until he took part in an excavation near Zerimar that he found his own treasure—a woman from a desert tribe.
Cassadine, with his wife and infant daughter, made his home in a small village in a rocky valley to the south. He was often on the go, often needing to escort very valuable ancient relics to distant patrons. Yet, no matter where he travels, Cassadine always returns with a story to tell about the other side of the world.
On one of the journeys home from Piltover, Cassadine and his fellow caravan were drinking cattle in an oasis. A group of terrified survivors staggered out of the desert, saying that the disaster had devastated their homeland, like the underground world opening its mouth and swallowing everything. They barely escaped alive.
Worried about the safety of his wife and children, Cassadine left the others behind, and traveled day and night, almost exhausting the mount to the point of exhaustion. When he finally returned to where the village had been, all he found was quicksand and gravel. He dug into the rubble and his hands were bleeding, and he kept screaming the names of his wife and daughter, but there was no response. A few days later, Cassadine's companions caught up with him, by which time he had a complete breakdown, dazed and empty-eyed in tears under the scorching sun.
They dragged him back to Zerema, but Cassadine was reluctant to go any further. In the years that followed, he drank to kill his sorrows and became a homeless homeless man...... That was until rumors of "prophets" began to appear in the town.
The inexplicable horrors lurked deep underground, and the sacrifices made Cassadine feel a bitter fear in their name. He knew the legends of Ancient Acacia and the fate of the Cursed Lands—if the Void had been led to Shurima again with ulterior motives, it would most likely have devoured his village, as well as countless others. He also knew that there were few, if not any, people in the world who could fight against the Void.
At that moment, Cassadine vows to avenge his wife and daughter, and he wants to eliminate this "prophet" who is fighting for the tiger, and at the same time eliminate the source of his dark power in one fell swoop. His ability to make a living was to find a safe path in dangerous places, so he was determined to arm himself fully. He found Valoran's most esoteric weapon, incorporating Zaun's original design and the blessing of the Ionian Soul Healer. He used all his personal connections, from archaeologists to roosters and dog thieves, with their help...... Get, what he wants. Many people said he was crazy, thinking that this would be the last time he would see his old friend alive – but Cassadine simply thanked them for their concern and said something precious to them. He will face the void alone.
Eventually, he stole Holocke's Blade of the Underworld, a sword that had killed thousands of tricksters at the end of an empire. He could feel the chill of annihilation on the blade, but he had long since put his life and death on the line, and there was nothing left to lose in such a life.
Dressed in robes and dressed as a pilgrim, he had not set foot in this deserted land for more than a decade. Cassadine enters Acacia, where he will travel to the forbidden land of humanity.
He will definitely take revenge, even if it costs with his life.
