"How many are these?" Amda stepped forward and took her sword. "Fifteen?twenty?"
"Thirty," said Fiona, "or more." It makes no difference to me. ”
"There will be more," her brother affirmed.
"Come on," replied Fiona. "But every human life brings glory back to our family. Every human life brings salvation one step closer. ”
"Salvation for whom?" Amda asked.
But Fiona didn't answer.
"I'm not a hero. I'm just a yodeler with a hammer. ”
~Hammer of Determination
There is no shortage of brave heroes on the continent of Runeterra, but few are as resilient as Bobby. She had always carried a holy hammer, two as tall as she was. This resolute yodeler has been searching for the "Hero of Demacia" for countless years. Legend has it that only this warrior was qualified to take over and use the weapon in her hand.
According to the legend, this peerless hero is the only one who can unleash the full power of this holy hammer, and will also lead Demacia to true greatness. Although Poppy has searched the most remote corners of the kingdom, her search has been in vain. She has tried many times to deliver the hammer to someone who might become a hero, but each time the consequences have ended in tragedy: usually the warrior who receives the hammer will die a tragic death. If it were someone else, he would have given up this mission a long time ago, but others did not have the indomitable courage and perseverance of this heroine.
Bobbi is a yodeler like no other. For as long as she can remember, she has been searching for a purpose in life. The other yodelers are inherently fickle and whimsy, which makes Poppy feel out of place, preferring to find patterns and order around her and immerse herself in them. This impulse led her to get closer to the human settlements of western Valoran, where she watched with curiosity as the human caravans walked down country lanes to the end of the spectrum. The people in the caravan looked ragged and exhausted, but they still hobbled forward, seeking some better life, as if they could be reached beyond the horizon
But one day, a different team passed by. Unlike other travelers, these people seem to have a clear purpose in mind when they move forward. They all woke up punctually every morning to the sound of the watchman's horn. They all eat together at the same time every day, and after a few minutes they clean up. They were clean and efficient in both camping and pulling.
The yodelers used their innate magical abilities to achieve extraordinary feats, yet this group of humans achieved the same feat through collaboration and discipline. They work together like cogs, forming a powerful force that can never be reached by an individual. In Bobby's eyes, this is more amazing than all the magic in the world.
Poppy was secretly observing the camp when he saw a piece of armor glittering from the tent. This is their commander, dressed in scaly chain mail, layered with metal plates intertwined, each of which is an integral part of the armor. His name was Oren, and his words and actions seemed to inspire everyone like touching the soul. If someone is discouraged, he will go to the side and remind them of the purpose of the trip. If someone is exhausted, he will reinvigorate them. This reminded Poppy of some yodeler spells, but he didn't rely on magic to achieve the same effect.
Poppy crept closer to take a closer look. She was involuntarily drawn to the glittering commander, as if at the beckon of fate. She watched closely as Oron led his soldiers in training. He wasn't huge, but he could wield a massive warhammer with ease. During the night, Poppy listened carefully as he whispered plans with the elders in the brigade. She heard that they were planning to hit the road, head west and build a permanent settlement.
Poppy's mind was full of questions. Where is Oron going? Where did he come from?How did he assemble such a meticulous group of travelers?Can this brigade accept a yodeler?It was at this point that she made the most important decision of her life: she decided to appear in front of a human for the first time, because it was also the first time she felt some kind of connection with a human.
Their first meeting was unexpected, with Oron asking Poppy as much questions as she did herself, but the two quickly became inseparable. He became her mentor, and she followed his ideals. On the training ground, Bobby is an invaluable sparring opponent because he is the only one under Oren's command who dares to actually make a move against him. She was never flattering, and often questioned his decisions with childlike innocence, as if she didn't know that she should obediently follow orders. She followed him to this new settlement, an ambitious and emerging country, Demacia. Here, all people can be included and welcomed, without any status or social background, but only need to voluntarily contribute to the good of the overall good.
Oron became a beloved figure in the kingdom. Although he was rarely seen playing with his hammer, he carried it on his back, and it quickly became a sacred symbol of the fledgling nation. Some people even rumored that this giant hammer has the divine power to destroy the withering and decaying, and shake the heavens and the earth.
When Oron was dying, he entrusted the hammer to Bobby, and at the same time entrusted her with his hope for the long-term stability of the country and the future generations. It was only then that Oron told Poppy the story of the hammer, how it was created, and how it was not destined to be his weapon. He tells Poppy that the hammer was created for the "peerless hero of Demacia", and that only this person has the ability to protect the unity and unity of Demacia. Poppy watched her friend die, and swore to him that she would find the hero and deliver the hammer to him herself.
Despite her fortitude, Poppy lacks self-confidence and self-esteem, so she never realizes that she herself could be the peerless hero Oron describes.
Poppy didn't want to provoke the thorn wolf, but now the wolf was about to pounce on her. It was still stained with dark red blood from the corners of its mouth, and it hadn't been long since it had last hunted, but the yodeler didn't want to be the prey of its mouth. She will soon catch up with the famous Demon Slayer, and she must survive to find this Demon Slayer and judge his qualifications.
