He Comes From the Void

"It's such a passionate and obedient bear." Kahn looked at the burning muscular giant Tibbers and smiled against his will: "Aren't you afraid of me, Annie? I scare many children to tears with my appearance."

"You're not afraid of Tibbers, why should I be afraid of you." Annie smiled, looking even sweeter under the reflection of the flames.

"Some of the little girls we met before were not afraid of us." Kai'Sa thought of the little girl they met when they returned to the ground. For children's unformed values, there is no absolute good or evil in this world.

Kahn looked around, and she saw that Tibbers had left the Juvask wild boar and came behind Annie with clumsy steps, leaving behind a charred but still largely intact body.

Tibbers, as a magically condensed flame monster, is not a real creature, so flesh and blood are not included in its recipe. Kahn, who was planning to swallow it all by himself, found an excuse and tried to distract Anne, so as to avoid letting her see the indescribable void swallowing.

"Annie, go away with my sister, I will clean up the wild boar blocking the way."

"Annie, come with me." Kaisha understood immediately, took up the topic naturally, and led Annie away who had no idea.

The girl skipped away, and the monster lumbered behind her, emitting a terrifying heat that melted the surrounding snow.

"Annie, let your good friend change back, or it will cause an avalanche later."

"But Tibbers finally came out, he wants to play with me..."

"There will be opportunities in the future," Kai'Sa said. They brought Annie to exercise her control over her magical talent, and Tibbers would definitely have more chances to play in the future, but now might not be the time.

They have just entered the Freljord, and they don't know what's going on around them, so it's not suitable to be so ostentatious in a dangerous environment.

Although Annie was not very happy, she still followed Kaisha's advice. The flames around her shrank, and the corresponding flames on Tibbers' body gradually extinguished.

The Shadow Bear's breathing slowed, his shoulders slumped, his limbs shrank, his thick tendons exposed to the flames turned into stitches, and finally he became the tattered teddy bear again, held in Annie's arms.

"Annie, this second skin is the secret of my brothers and sisters, just like your Tibbers' transformation, don't tell others casually."

"Oh." Annie and her little bear looked at each other without much expression.

I don't know if I really remembered it, Kai'Sa sighed silently.

Kahn told her that to teach Anne, a child whose three views have not yet formed, can only teach her how to behave in a persuasive way. But she couldn't see the results in a short time, which really made her very anxious.

The time was almost up, and she took Annie back to the original place. The wild boar carcasses blocking the mountain road had been cleared away by Kahn. If it wasn't for the melting snow, she didn't see that there were two giant beasts fighting here at all. past traces.

"Go on, this section of the road is almost over." Kahn's skin armor had already shrunk back, he put on the scarf again, looked at the darkening sky, and urged.

Annie was carried on his back by him, and she didn't show any fear of Kahn who had just shown another form. They walked straight down the mountain road, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, the bleak sun was already close to the horizon.

Kahn looked around and observed the surrounding terrain.

In front of them was a frozen glacial river, and there was a sparse forest near the river bank. The distance between the trees was too wide to block the cold wind blowing in the Fereljord all night, so it was not suitable for overnight stay.

He glanced further away, and accidentally found two parallel ditches beside the frozen river. Because they blended with the ground and were very concealed, they couldn't be seen at a glance.

"It seems to be a temporary trench built by the Noxus army, go and have a look."

The road down the mountain is much easier to walk, because there are no cliffs on both sides to cover it, the sun shines on the open terrain during the day, and the snow does not accumulate too deep, so you can step on the thick ground with one foot.

“It feels so good to be grounded.”

Annie also walked around, and her small snow boots finally came in handy. They went straight to the river, climbed over the spiked fence, stood on the edge of the trench and looked down, but what they saw made Kahn frown.

All kinds of armaments were scattered throughout the trench, including mud-stained shields, heavy plate armor, axes and machetes.

There must have been an intense blade battle here, and part of the soil was stained dark red by dried blood. Besides the Noxian gear, there were bone spears thrust into the snowy walls of the trenches, the polished bone armor chilling in the moonlight.

Bone spears, bone armor, obviously these are the equipment of the Freljord people.

Kahn's face was a bit ugly, and he said to Kai'Sa who was also watching the inside of the trench: "We have no choice, and we can't find a ready-made cave nearby, so we can only stay here for one night."

"Well, I know." Kai'Sa nodded, and they didn't have the ability like Taliyah, and they also lacked a lot of choices.

"Renovate this place, at least it doesn't look so bad."

As he said, Kahn took local materials, crossed his spears and separated them in the middle of the trench to act as a bracket, and then hung up all the shields he picked up to form a shield wall on the front and rear sides. After Annie and Kai'Sa jumped in, they covered their heads with shields to block the cold wind blowing on the ice field.

"It's quite useful." Although there is a bit of wind leaking from the corners and making a whining sound, it is much more comfortable than standing outside to blow the air, at least not in the open air.

While Hei Annie didn't see it, Kaisha moved to sit next to Kahn, and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek as a reward.

She should have been next to Kahn, and shouted: "Annie, sit on sister's lap, be careful not to push her head over."

Annie sat on Kaisha's lap and was hugged by her. Kahn didn't say anything, breathing the cold air, and wrapped the warm scarf around the hands he and Kaisha were holding.

In the dark and narrow space, the three of them cuddled tightly together, and the distance between their hearts seemed to be much closer.

...

The next day, Kahn was awakened by the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

He opened his eyes, and the temperatureless sunlight came in through the gap in the shield, slightly illuminating the inside of the trench. He saw the shield above his head vibrating, and the snowflakes that fell fell on his face, causing a chill.

"It snowed last night?"

"Is there a war outside? Why are there so many hoofbeats?"

The series of questions made Kahn sleepless, he immediately woke up Kai'Sa, lifted the shield above his head and poked his head out of the ditch to check the situation.
