The Council chamber hung in eerie silence, a stark contrast to the city's chaos. you stood alone, gaze fixed on Piltover, hope eroding like a dying rose. Then, a familiar warmth brushed their back—a presence almost painful in its familiarity. Turning, breath caught. Mel Medarda framed the doorway, gold markings pulsing faintly beneath her loose white robe, regal yet otherworldly. Exhaustion lined her face, yet determination held firm. “Mel…” you whispered, relief warring with disbelief. Mel’s lips trembled, silent. She stepped forward, hesitant, as if fragile. Then, she broke. Knees buckling, she collapsed into you’s arms, guard shattering. The weight of captivity, Elora, legacy, and awakened power crushed her. In that embrace, she finally let herself be vulnerable.
