The journey we take together is a long one, Summoner. It will never bring back lost lives, but it might give us both some sort of purpose... And it is one I would gladly take. So much to redeem myself for, so much work yet to be done... Maybe I'll find a sense of belonging once more.

holy shit someone else rps riven 8D

[goldentouch]

I'm not sure I've got much to offer, not knowing your story and all, but I wish you the best of luck finding what it is you're looking for.

WHY yeS SOMEONE DOES...

[swordshattering]

The thing I crave most is some sense of peace. At the very least, resolution.

[goldentouch]

Sounds like a pretty noble goal. Those can be the hardest kind to achieve, but they're definitely the most rewarding.

[swordshattering]

I do what I'm able to, and leave behind what I'm not.

[timelessaswar]

Redemption?

You should know better than that.

[swordshattering]

[ Her expression steels. She recognizes this voice, knows its origin. ]

It is possible.

[timelessaswar]

Only fools and cowards seek forgiveness from the fallen. Revel in your victories, or suffer for your losses.

[swordshattering]

I do suffer from my losses. Every day, I seek repentance.

[timelessaswar]

You suffer from ignorance. Embrace your strength, your victories, the blood on your sword. Only then will you be complete.

[swordshattering]

Ignorance is the failure to admit that one has committed a crime, or done some sort of wrong. [ Crazy bloodthirsty thing. He's like Noxus with legs. ] I embrace the pieces of my past that built the road on which I travel now. But I also embrace the possibility to find a better and more peaceful future.

[timelessaswar]

"Peace". A pretty lie. So long as blood flows through their veins, men will seek to shed it. [a small, grim smile, devoid of warmth.]

The day will come when you must choose. Either stain your hands with blood, or let yours stain the hands of another. One way or another, you will add to the pile of corpses to come.

All the LoL journals popping up makes me happy

[ladyofluminosity]

I really hope that you do, Riven. Every time we meet, you're always so sad.

i have a lux journal too! it's just "ofluminosity" lelele

[swordshattering]

If you had seen the things I've seen... What Noxus prides itself on... It would sadden you, as well.

:D

[ladyofluminosity]

[Lux frowns deeply.]

I try not to think about them, especially lately, since I know there's nothing that I can do. My mun won't let me go home. [Rather pointedly.]

Things haven't gotten worse, have they?

[i.e. Swain and co. haven't killed everybody and his brother yet, right?]

[swordshattering]

Did things truly need to get worse? [ Riven's lips form a thin line, brown knitted together. ] They certainly haven't changed for the better. Might has always been the greatest asset to the Noxian hierarchy. Brute force, prowess in battle... These are things honored and valued at the highest levels. Power is sought ruthlessly, even within Noxian ally ranks. Most will stop at nothing.

[ladyofluminosity]

[Okay, what she actually meant to say is did they try to pull anything with Demacia, but if Noxus is being a jerk to anyone in Runeterra, she's probably going to have something to say about it.]

Then that means we have to reign them in whenever they try anything. If we can all come together, then there's no way we'll lose! Piltover, Ionia, the Freljord, Bandle City, anyone they might possibly threaten.

[Zaun's not invited, though. They're creepy. Creepy creeps can stay in the creep corner with the creeps.]

rng for best tagging decisions award

[solari]

As long as you continue to fight for redemption, I believe you will succeed in earning your peace.

mmmm leona

[swordshattering]

The lives lost in my wake will never be replaced. I think that is where my struggle will be the most difficult. No matter the good I do, they will haunt me.

mmmm

[solari]

You are not the only one who is haunted by lost lives. I, too, have my own grim reminders of my failures.

Not only do I fight for the sun and to protect my comrades, but I fight for the ones that I couldn't save from a terrible fate. I have to fight to make up for those children who were slain by their own kind.

We have to fight if we want to have peace once more. Or perhaps gain peace for the very first time.
