Shurima, our home
As the era of our new ruler, Azir
Dawned upon our land, so with it
Came an era of corruption
Xerath, the close council
Of our young emperor, spoke intently of
The ancient Ascension ritual
A feat only to be attempted during our darkest hours
Andas predictable as the rising sun
Xerath turned on our emperor
Attempting to steal the power of
The Sun Disc for himself
...Or at least
He tried
Xerath
With a swift motion, my brother Renekton dives in
And Xerath is caught in his grip
You fool! What are you doing?!
Protecting our emperor from the enemies of Shurima
And just like that, Xerath is no more
Yet, something dawns on me, a horrific
Revelation, in all the chaos, I paid no
Attention to my emperor
Azir, Xerath lied to you
To all of us
Shurima
Shurima was meant to fall, this day
I have seen it, I know that
You see it too
We cannot dwell on "What if"?
No... No we cannot
Nasus, Renekton, to me!
It is clear that only the worthy are meant to ascend
Xerath believed himself
Alone worthy for Ascension
I believed myself worthy.
...But I see now that and empire
Cannot stand supported by
A single pillar of sand
You two have already undergone
This ritual alone, but I ask you now
Join me and undertake it once more
That is madness
I concur
What is it you always said, Nasus?
"The cycle of life and death continues"?
Well I say that this cycle
Is ours to command
As Azir extended this invitation to us
My brother and I peered at one another
For a moment, then back to our emperor
I have never seen
A more resolute leader
We stepped into the blinding
Light of the Sun Disc
All three of us
And so
We ascended
I look into the ether stream
My galaxy unbound
I step into the solar light
Ascend unto me now
It tears away at mortal flesh
Into the skies I soar
Made more than just Ascendant
Now I live among the stars
It's come to this
The plan unfolds
Look past deceit
The lies I'm told
I'm given choice
The future that I see
Not just what I am
But what I'm meant to be
