Cake! Pie! The weird stuff that was kinda like pudding but not quite but still tasted really good! Rift's tummy was bloated by all these things as her sister threw the biggest party she'd ever been too, well aside from birthday partys. Festivals too. There was also that time Orange Lotus got lost in the woods and they found her and... Okay it wasn't the biggest party she'd ever been too at all. But her sister was throwing it and that made her happy enough as it was.

Sticky had taken off early from practice to celebrate the good news and the two were now eating at the pink tail. Apparently it was endorsed by one of the elements of harmony and was the only place in the city with an all you can eat dessert bar. On some days they even brought out something that they only referred to as 'Mmmm.' It was a tad expensive but that didn't matter at all! Soon Rift would have her own money coming in and they'd be able to afford everything they needed.

But for now all the little pony wanted was a doctor as she struggled helplessly to nibble at her apple pie slice. “I-I give... T-the pastries win...” Rift said with a soft groan as she closed her eyes and rolled over onto a cushion, tossing a cupcake up in defeat. It unceremoniously landed on her head with a squish sound.

“Pfft. Push over,” Sticky said as she ate what had to be her tenth slice of pie. Where she put it all no pony would ever know. Nor how she managed to get cinnamon frosting in her mane when they hadn't been near the cinnamon rolls all night.

“You're... just a b-bottomless hole... think I'm going to explode...” the younger sister grumbled miserably.

“Heh, don't think I'm rolling you home. Don't forget, you have a busy day tomorrow. Need to make sure you're up nice and early so you can get ready for your first day of practice. Do you know who you'll be working with?”

“Nope! One of the ponies who competed I'm guessing,” she said proudly.

“Okay... Do you know what time practice is?”

“... No...” she said a bit less proudly.

“... Do you have any idea what kind of composition they'll be wanting the teams to work with?”

“...” Rift hung her head in shame as her sister just shook her head, or at least attempted too despite laying on the cushion.

“Okay. Tomorrow just go to the head office and bring your license. From there they'll tell you when your next practice time has been assigned and just make sure you show up an hour early. That way you have more time to talk with your sponsor, okay?” Sticky shook her head, trying to act disappointed but was unable to hide her smile. “It'll be fine. You're going to love being in a team, it's completely different from going solo,” the older unicorn said as she started on a donut.

“Different? How?” Rift said as she managed to haul herself back up, tummy and all.

“Communication. Team work. It's like having a second family almost. You learn each others strengths and weaknesses and before you know it you see those you work with as brothers or sisters,” she paused for a moment as a knowing grin flashed on her face, “and sometimes even more.”

“W-what?” the younger unicorn squeaked as she pretended to be fascinated by the contours of her slice of pie. “I-I have no idea what you could possibly mean.”

“Oh, you will, eventually. If you want we can leave, I can get something else to eat on the way home.”

“... How are you not the size of a blimp?” Rift groaned. Moments later she shrieked as her older sister stuffed a cupcake into her mouth and down her throat. She hacked and coughed between glares. “Are you trying to kill me?!!”

“Just making sure you have plenty of sugar and energy for tomorrow,” the unicorn said with a little smirk. “A nice gift from the blimp.”

“I said how are you not the size of one not that you are one... Trying to kill me on the day before my first practice huh? I see how it is,” she said with a mischievous grin as she grabbed a nearby platter of pudding and tossed it in her sisters face! After a few moments the platter fell to the ground and the unicorn stared back with a blind fury, her face coated in pudding. The rest of the customers all went silent and stared at the sudden disturbance.

“Very well, little sister. If you wish to act like a child. I shall beat you like a child,” Sticky said as her horn began to glow and a number of pies lifted from a nearby trolley.

“No, don't! I'm-” but it was to late. Before she could finish her apology she was covered in pies. Fortunately, they were dessert pies so she didn't get burns. Unfortunately most of them were filled with icy treats so she was now freezing. “... It. Is. So on!” she shrieked as she jumped to her feet with her horn aglow.

“You know, we might not have gotten banned if you hadn't dumped that bowl of jello down the cashier's head,” Rift said as she walked through the cities streets, her sister besides her. Both were covered horn to hoof in crusts, fruit filling and whipped cream.

“Oh we were going to be banned anyway. He totally deserved it after he called us two-toned savages,” Sticky said with a snicker.

“Well we did make a huge mess. He was probably really upset when he stepped in that pie too,” Rift said with a soft snicker. “We're lucky they didn't try to press charges. I can't believe you went so far!”

“I went so far?! You started it!”

“I threw one thing of pudding. You threw an entire trolley of pies. You escalated it, not me.”

“You started it! I was merely... defending... uh oh,” she stopped and stared at the entrance to their home. Three royal guards were standing outside, along with none other than Shining Armor. “Oh by Celestia's mane we're going to be arrested,” she squeaked nervously.

“N-no way. I-I bet it's just a mistake. W-worse comes to worse w-we'll just pay for the damages. The tender told us to leave!” Rift said in a squeaky voice. “Y-you know what? I bet it's not even for us. I bet it's someone else. Maybe someone got robbed.” Though she didn't believe it. The prince was here! The actual prince! He was even more rugged and handsome in real life and she couldn't help but admire the way he filled out his armor for a few seconds, even if she was nervous and frightened.

“Just keep your head down, don't look at them. Walk by casually,” her sister said nervously as they stepped forward.

“HALT!” Shining's voice boomed out like a clap of thunder as they passed by. “One of you are Rift Mane, correct?”

“...” In every mare's life there comes a point when they must stand firm by their convictions and look the object of their demise straight in the eye. This. Was not one of those times. She hurtled herself at his feet and started to cry. “I'm sorry I don't know what I did but please don't arrest me I didn't mean too I'm so sorry I'll pay for whatever I did but please don't send me to prison!”

“I, what? I, p-please stop crying miss. There's no need to get upset. Ummm, there there child,” the prince said nervously as he patted the mares head. The two guards behind him, to their credit, didn't even snicker. “I've come to tell you your introductory match will be tomorrow at noon.”

“... What?” the little mare asked before staring up at the prince. “Why would you, I mean, you're the prince, and, but... so I'm not under arrest?”

“No. Discord himself asked that I bring you that message, I am sorry if my presence evoked such fear. Please have a good day,” the unicorn said before turning and walking away. Both sisters stared at his exit for quite a bit longer than was appropriate.

“So, I guess... ummm... wow. Did they do that when you were going to do your first match?” Rift asked as she watched the tail disappear around the corner.

“Well no. But I had a few days to practice before hand. I'm surprised they're putting your first match so soon, that's probably why they sent him. Though I can't believe they sent him of all ponies,” Sticky said as she watched the corner, a little hopeful that he'd come back around so she could watch him leave again.

“GAHHH!” Rift shrieked as she looked down. “I can't believe he saw me looking like this! I look like a cake topping!” she wailed as she charged to their home, tossed open the door and made a beeline for the shower. “Of all the ponies in the world to see me, why did it have to be him?!”

Her elder sister merely snickered as she headed into the apartment and waited for her chance to shower, but not before taking and hiding the last towel. That would teach the brat to start a food fight.

------

Rift laid awake in bed, many hours after she should have been asleep. She glanced at her bedside clock, a glow-in-the-dark Luna moving over the glow-in-the-dark numbers. She couldn't calm herself though. Tomorrow she would be fighting for her team. People she barely knew who would be funding her stay. Assuming she didn't screw it up and end up getting kicked from the team in a few months. But even if she was kicked, her license would be refreshed and she'd have paid her sister back a little bit, not to mention it was far easier to get on a team once you'd been on one. So why did she have this awful weight in the pit of her stomach?

Crash. She knew he did all that to help her, but she couldn't stop the guilt from twisting her stomach. Even after she yelled at him he still went out of his way to help her. Truly she was the lowest level of scum, even below pond. She rolled onto her side and gently run a hoof along the wall. She finally jumped out of bed and moved to her desk, taking out a small piece of paper and began to write a note. She knew how to make it up to him! Before to long she note was finished and she added his name to it, she'd leave it at the summoner headquarters to be delivered later. For a moment she considered sealing it with a kiss but no, that would just be silly.

Her mind calmed the mare jumped into bed and tried to fall back to sleep. It wasn't long before she was dreaming of being out in the fields again, a legendary summoner who all admired and envied for her talent. One who never missed her skill shots or paniced when everyone charged at her. Not at all.

------

“AHHHHH!” Rift screamed as she galloped through the streets, startling and nearly trampling a good many passerbys. She was late! Extremely late! She had barely managed to choke down a muffin before barreling out the door, her sister having left hours before to meet with her group. While the screaming was not necessary it did alert others to her running prescience and made her feel better.

When she finally arrived it was twenty past noon and she actually slammed into the desk clerk's desk. After a few moments the ponies head popped over the edge of his large desk. “Miss? Are you okay?”

“My... everything... h-hurts. I think my heart exploded too,” she groaned as she stared up at the pony. With difficulty she pulled her license out and showed it to the pony, “W-which room a-am I supposed to go too?”

The stallion glanced at the card for a moment before his eyes nearly bulged out of his head. “You're, I mean, you're Rift? Mane? Oh, ummm, down the east hall, down the stairs and behind the golden door. Just show your card to the griffon and you can get in.”

“T-thanks,” Rift groaned as she got to her hooves and dropped a small letter on the desk. “P-please deliver this to a L-Lightning Crash. Thanks,” she said as she began to gallop again. She couldn't wait to get started! She wouldn't have to run anymore.

Getting through the guard wasn't to hard, he took one look at her ID and let her pass. She wondered if all teams had guards at the door. She guessed it made sense. She walked inside and looked around in confusion. It wasn't a summoning chamber at all. Instead it looked like a lounge and THERE WAS DISCORD!

“Ah. You're late,” the spirit of chaos said as he drank the strawberries out of his apple pie. If she was less panicked about being late she'd have tried to figure out how that made sense. That and staring at the immortal spirit of chaos and disharmony.

“Y-you're... You're... P-please don't turn me into a monkey or a beaver or anything else like that!” she screamed as she laid down on her stomach and covered her head.

“Charming. Oh no, I've just come to wish you good luck. After all, it is your first game and we're expecting quite the demonstration. I hope you'll do us proud.”

“S-summoned? I... what? Huh? Why would you come for my first match?”

“Oh, no reason. No reason. I'd say oh... three... two... one...” As the spirit finished the entire room went quiet, but nothing happened.

“What was the point of counting to one-” she was cut off as electricity shot through her and she reappeared at the top of a stone stair case on a platform. “-if nothing... wha? Huh? Where am... ahh!” she shrieked as she realized who was on the platform with her. Shining? Cadence? Blueblood?! PINKIE PIE?! What the buck was going on?! “What? Where? Why?” she looked down at herself, trying to figure out what champion she had been logged in as.

It took her a few seconds to realize she was herself. On the field. With the other four. Oh buck. “Oh no no no no,” she said fearfully as she moved forward. “What's going on? I'm not supposed to be here! I'm supposed to be, well, here, but not here here, there here, not there here here, but there! While here!”

“Child, are you well?” Cadence asked softly, giving the girl a confused look.

“NO! Yes! No! I mean, why am I here? I'm not one of you! I'm a summoner, I'm... I'm...” wait, no. She was still in control. Kinda. If she focused she realized she could see the information she had as a summoner. She could see her 'skills', only a handful of the spells she knew. She saw her stats. She could even see the mini map. What she couldn't see is any reason SHE should be HERE! “I'm a summoner, there has to be some sort of mistake, I can't, I'm...”

“You are Rift Mane, are you not?” Shining asked as he moved by her, a few potions tossed into his pack.

“Yes. But-”

“Then you are the newest member to represent Canterlot. Don't worry so much,” he said as he patted her head. “This is merely an exhibition match. You'll be fine. Just grab some items and head down to the middle lane.”

“But... but but...” she squeaked to no avail as the other four headed down to their respective locations. She whimpered as she turned to the middle lane, surrounded by trees and holding a few tall turrets. Funny, it never looked so terrifying and ominous before. She gulped nervously before purchasing a single small blue ring and heading down the lane. The opening in the trees made her envision at any moment an entire swarm of ponies or others charging out to tear her limb from limb. She made her way slowly down it, jumping at every sound or movements, until she was huddled under her turret and looking out.

Then she saw her. Just out of turret range. A tiny little filly of dark wickedness. “Sho you are dah one I gonna beat up today?” Oh my gosh it was Nightmawe Woon! She felt her heart tighten at the sight of the adorable little filly sticking her tongue out.

“Errr... Y-yes. Nice to meet you,” she squeaked before slowly stepping out. The moment she came within range a ball of shadows slammed into her chest and she stumbled back. “W-what? Why? I was-”

“Not nice to meet you! I'm gonna smash you inta dusht!” the princess said with a smirk.

Rift gulped and moved back to the turret before thinking about her spells again. She had three to pick from though two she imagined would be useless. The third however... She put a point in it before aiming it once at the ground right behind the turret. A small blue circle formed in the ground behind it.

“Hah! Your aim shucksh, I'm nowhare neaw-” the filly was interrupted as the striped unicorn aimed a hoof at her and moments later a red circle formed under her. She shrieked as she fell through it and appeared out the other side, right behind Rift's turret, as the small circles closed. “AHHHHH!” she screamed as she ran, but was just a tad to slow.

“First blood,” the announcer called out.

The unicorn gulped and stared. She had never gotten first blood before! Well, she had but this time her team was actually congratulating her! Even Shining. She squealed with delight as she practically danced towards the middle of the lane as small little minions began popping up. Right until the moment she was encircled by black flames. She coughed a little before looking down towards a very angry looking alicorn.

“Youw shooo dead when I get my hoovesh on you!” the little princess shrieked in rage. Rift merely whimpered in
response as the fights began. It was a slow affair with her slowly knocking out the little tiny minions as they came around and Nightmawe Woon continuously taking pot shots at the unicorn. Before to long she had all three of her main spells available.

Which was good. Because right as she got her third one a changeling came bounding out of the woods besides the lane, charging at her with a gleaming razor sharp dagger. Rift shrieked and ran towards her turret, but she was far to pushed out as magical spikes broke from the ground in a line from the changeling and slashed at her. Acting quickly she cast one of her new spells. The spikes almost hit her but were blocked as a portal formed between her and them and absorbed the powerful attack. Moments later the spikes shot out from the portal and struck the changeling, confusing it for a moment.

It kept pursuing her though as she ran towards the turret. For a moment black flames encircled her and froze her in place, giving the changeling a few free shots before she was able to run again. “AHHHH!” she screamed as she continued her charge. She turned and cast her next spell as yet another portal formed between her and the changeling and water flew out from the portal, knocking the changeling away a bit.

It didn't stop the creature though, it could smell blood and if it caught Rift, she was toast. As it gained on her she cast the spell again and this time snow billowed out from the portal and knocked the changeling back once again, making it shriek at the sudden avalanche.

She was almost there! Almost! A spike slashed across her flank as she looked back. STILL?! Not fair! The changeling was still had over three-fourths its hp! She was down to a sliver after that last blow! One final time she unleashed the spell as this time lava shot out and sent the changeling flying! “Holy bu-” BAM! She was cut off as she slammed head first into the tower, groaning. “Ow...” She glanced back at the changeling, who looked furious. Just out of turret range. Wait a moment...

A wicked grin formed on her face as she formed the portal directly behind the turret.

“WUN YOU FOOL! YOUW GONNA-” But Nightmawe Woon's warning came to late as a portal formed under the startled changeling's hooves.

Rift ran as fast as she could towards the base as moments later the announcer called out, “An enemy has been slain.” She did it! She couldn't believe it! She won! She was the greatest at this! She was the best, she... ran straight into the turret again with a pained whimper.

------

All things considered she was doing well! She thought so at least. She didn't know what items to buy so she just bought a fancy hat and a big stick. Truly those were the kinds of items any wise magician would need! Despite her earlier success she found they weren't falling for her portal tricks any more and were giving her a wide berth when she was by her turret. Luckily the royal ponies were doing well, especially Pinkie.

She was actually beginning to feel quite confident as she traded hits with the little princess, she had even made sure to ward her bushes so she wouldn't get taken by surprise again and she was beginning to get the hang of how her skills worked. Her fourth and final skill was the only one she hadn't tested yet. The call went out as she used her three use portal spell to push a lot of the enemy minions away and then she headed down through the woods. They were going to try to do something dangerous. Something deadly. Something that could very well get their entire team slaughtered if they weren't careful.

They were going to try and defeat the dragon and earn its horde.

At any time they could be ambushed and crushed by the enemy team and lose the treasure if they weren't careful. Fortunately Daring Doo had been forced to retreat a moment ago so they had a small window to try and take it down. Before she even made it all the way down she stepped into a small bush and shrieked as the changeling was already there!

“GAHHH!” she quickly used her portal barrier but it only blocked one use of the spikes. She turned to run as fast as she could, using her knock back spells but it wasn't enough, she couldn't make it! Finally letting out a worried gulp she turned and faced the changeling, her horn glowing with powerful magic. A purple arcane circle formed across the ground at her hooves as a large green portal formed over head. From within came a loud howl as a timberwolf, large and powerful, jumped out and landed between the two. It took one look at the changeling and tackled it, claws and fangs tearing into it.

“W-wow. G-go timberwolf! You're doing it! You're awesome!” she cheered as the two fought. She wasn't paying nearly as much attention as she should have as a black fireball slammed into her, stunning her in place as another wave of flame washed over her. Moments later her timberwolf fell and her only route of escape was blocked off by a tiny alicorn princess.

“N-no, c-come on guys, can't we talk about- GAHHHHH!” she screamed as she was torn to pieces by the two.

She appeared back on the stone alter with a little whimper. “Ow...”

“Purple team has defeated the dragon.” Aw dang it. They lost the- wait a moment. SHE was on purple team! They got the horde! Right on time her wallet increased as her share of the gold filled it. Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad. Maybe- “A turret has been destroyed.” Down went her turret. She hung her head and let out a soft sigh. Wonderful. She was going to fail, she just knew it. She bought a few tiny totems and then headed back towards her lane.

Yep, true to her expectations three of their five enemies were in her lane and pushing back. She used her water-snow-lava spell but it did little more than deter them for a few moments. They were pushing down hard with a number of the smaller minions taking the hits from the turret, so her little portal spell did next to nothing.

Then the unthinkable happened. They darted after her, even under the turret. She screamed and tried to run but they were on her, attacking over and over. Even with the turret pounding on them they didn't stop.

With a yellow flash a powerful voice filled the air. “CRYSTAL EMPIRE!” Shining Armor yelled as he flashed in from the forest, his sword spinning over his head like a windmill.

“For Canterlot!” another voice rang out as suddenly prince Blueblood jumped from the other side of the lane, his magical spear held aloft. He landed between two of her attackers as the ground lifted up, trapping them all in a temporary circle of rock. The two princes, changelings and the little princess. Rift gulped and once again summoned a timberwolf to help them, before running away for her life lest she get caught in the brawl.

Moments later “An enemy has been slain. Double kill,” was announced. From there everything continued to go up hill and before she knew it “Victory!”

She appeared back in the same room she had been in before, her entire body shaking like a leaf as she fell on her stomach. There he was. Discord. “So, have fun?”

“You... You... There isn't a word I can think of to call you that could suffice for how I feel! GRAHHHH! You... GAHHH! Tail... Bucking... sniffer... hoof... Thing!” she struggled to put her emotions into words. Sadly her talents weren't designed for that. Her shaking finally got the best of her as she fell to the ground. “I could have been killed! I was killed! Multiple times! And then I won, and I, you, it... GAHHH!”

“Oh? But that's what the life of a champion is. Fighting for one's kingdom. Isn't that something all of you ponies want?”

“Yes! But I want to be a summoner, not a champion! I can't fight, my talent is summoning!” she shrieked and finally managed to get to her hooves again.

“Oh. Oh dear. Well I suppose if you don't want to fight for your country you'll have to be removed from the roster.”

“I... What? Really? It's just that easy?”

“Oh of course dear child. We'd hate to make you fight if your talent is... being a summoner, as you say,” he hummed as swirly red glasses formed on his head and a small stack of papers formed in his hand. “Right, Rift Mane, Rift Mane... Ah, it says here your... oh dear... Well I'm sure that won't be a problem.”

“... What?” the unicorn asked as dread seeped inside her.

“Well, since you've become a champion your license has been revoked. It seems you'll have to do the tests over again...”

She gulped nervously as her hooves started to quiver again. “W-what? But... but I... But the tests are so expensive. I-I just got into a team and... and I need my license or I...” she felt the tears form in her eyes as the spirit of chaos tormented her so.

“Really? You know on a champions salary you could afford the test in just a little over a week. As well as affording a few champions...” he said with a wicked little grin.

“...” she stared at the draconequus for a moment before taking a deep breath. She couldn't believe she was considering this as she watched the smiling spirit. She couldn't help but remember some of the old stories she was told about making deals with creature's such as this. “What exactly are the benefits of becoming a champion?”

------

Rift took a deep breath as she stared at the door to their apartment. On the one hoof it was getting cold out here, on the other hoof her sister was inside and likely aware of today’s little exhibition match. With a fearful whimper she slowly reached out and turned the knob, gently pushing it open.

“RIFT!” the voice boomed out instantly, causing the mare to cower.

“Y-yes?” she squeaked, considering the advantages of just running for the hills.

“Come in and help me with this, will you?”

“Huh?” she slowly peeked her head inside and stared, wide eyed, at the baskets that filled their small living space. There had to be dozens, possibly hundreds! Each filled with little candies, or treats, one even had a little stuffed bear. “W-what happened? Where did all this come from?”

“Well apparently when a brand new champion appears without any previous hint and she happens to have once been a summoner, people tend to get a little excited,” Sticky Mane turned and glared at her sister, a newspaper flying up from the coffee table. The words 'From controller to controlled, what will the order's newest shake up mean for the future of summoners everywhere?'

“I... I can explain,” Rift stuttered nervously as she closed the door behind her. “Y-you see I was, I ummm, it... I fell?”

“... What in Equestria are you going on about? How come you didn't tell me? This is awesome!” the older pony said as she plopped the newspaper on the table. “I don't know how you pulled it off, but it's brilliant!”

“I... it is? Really? What?” Rift asked, her mouth agape.

“Of course! Becoming a champion? When you stop teams will be crawling over themselves to get you in them! You'll become one of the most well known names out there. Seriously, how did you pull it off? You have to tell me. We're sisters. It's like the law.”

The mare looked off to the side and smiled nervously, “Errr... well, you see I uhhhh...” she let out a soft little cough as she struggled to find the words. “I just... had a talk with Discord and he-”

“YOU TALKED WITH DISCORD?! Oh my gosh! What did he say? Is it true that he has a dragon's arm? I hear he does all kinds of weird things! Tell me everything!” Sticky was practically hopping up and down at this point.

“I... it was easy. I just offered my services and he said sure!” she lied while paying extra attention to the floor. “I just need to go and uhhh, talk to him one more time tomorrow and then I'm in, for now. Until I decide to leave.”

“Okay. This is going to be awesome! Heh heh. I bet I can scrounge up enough bits to unlock you on my license. I've made a celebratory feast for tonight so I hope you're hungry! Not as big as last night but still, this is going to be amazing!”

“Oh, starved. I'm just gonna go clean up before hand. I'll be back in a moment,” she mumbled as she waved to her sister one more time before galloping up the stairs. She sighed as she glanced towards her open window, the curtains billowing in the breeze. Slowly she walked towards it and looked around Canterlot, or at least the street she could see.

How was she going to do this? Her magic was no where near powerful enough to contend with the true champions that she was being forced to fight! She wasn't that fast, or strong, or durable, all she just had was a bunch of tricks! What happened when... was that a knife poking into the back of her neck? Oh yes it was. That was definitely a knife. She let out a soft whimper as the changeling appeared besides her in a small green flame.

She recognized the changeling almost instantly. Why? Because she had died to him sooooo many times in the past, including a few times in today's fight. Fang. To Rift's credit she managed to not wet herself, barely.

“H-hello,” she squeaked out moments before two more changelings appeared in the room. Twitchy and Trappy. She was so going to die.

“So you're the new champion out on the field? Frankly I'm not impressed with the showing you gave us today...” the changeling said as he whispered into the mare's ear, the cold edge of the knife stroking along the unicorn's mane.

“W-what do you w-want from me?” she asked softly.

“From you? Nothing. I've just come to give you a little friendly warning...” the creature said as he whispered in to the frightened girl's ear. “there are already plenty of ponies who are allied with that fat sun queen on her throne. If one was to disappear no one would notice.”

“I-I see...” she said as she tried to avoid bursting into tears. She was going to die, she knew it.

“Times are coming pony... This little truce won't last forever. So remember when the time comes to remember to back the right side. Understood?”

“C-crystal,” she said softly. A sigh of relief escaped her throat as the knife was pulled away.

“Good. I'd advise against telling any pony about our little talk. Unless you want an accident to happen,” the changeling warned a moment before he and the other two departed through the open window, disappearing a few moments after they were outside.

The moment they were gone she closed and latched the window, her entire body shaking. What had she gotten herself into?

Bonus champion spotlight, Rift Mane!

Q: Surrounds the target in a temporary barrier. The next ranged attack to strike the target is reflected back in the direction it came.

W: Summons water/snow/lava to knock enemy back and deal damage, with a short delay where it can be used a second and third time before going on cooldown.

E: Makes a portal at target location. Can make a second portal within ten seconds. The first champion to touch either portal appears in the opposite portal. Portal can only be activated once and disappears after twenty seconds.

Ult: summons 1-3 timber wolves.
