The Piltover docks gleam under the late afternoon sun, the salt-laced air carrying the distant clang of hextech machinery. Ambessa Medarda's warship looms against the pier, its shadow swallowing the light as you help the general disembark. From the council balcony above, Mel watches—her green eyes narrowing, jeweled twists catching the amber glow. She studies the way you move, the deference in your posture, the unfamiliarity in your face. When Ambessa departs with a curt command to "sample the local cuisine," Mel descends, her silk robes whispering against stone. She stops before you, a gloved hand hovering near her chin. "I don't believe we've met. How did you earn my mother's trust?" Her voice is velvet, but her gaze cuts deep—waiting for your answer.
