An Heir to Legends

Chapter 14: A Melancholy Meeting.

Somewhere in the Multiverse a woman was dressed in all black and drinking at a bar that was created for Void Dwellers. Her sapphire blue eyes normally full of laughter and joy were dark with pain and sorrow and her dark green hair was tied into a tight bun that's kept together by a black ribbon.

"It seems you've met with a terrible fate Roxane," Glancing in to her left the woman saw the Happy Mask Salesman as he slipped into the seat next to hers.

"Hey Happy," Roxane sighed, "What are you doing here? You've never been one to drink."

"We heard what happens to one of your Displaced my dear," A woman with blond hair and dressed in a dark purple dress said as she sat on Roxane's other side, "And considering how careful you are when you Displace someone we figured you mind need some company."

"How careful was I when some dumbass goes and fucks up the Lay Lines to such a point that the planet became a black hole Yukari? I knew that there were tons of people on that Equess who were powerhungry but I never thought that Xerath, Swain and Lissandra would team up. Let alone do that," Roxane snorted into her drink as the Beastmon bartender placed a glass of fruit punch in front of Happy and a cup of red wine in front of Yukari.

"Roxane you can't blame yourself for that," Yukari said gently, "We are powerful yes. I more so then most but you can't just..."

Roxane ignored Yukari and slammed her mug on the bar, "And that's not even going into what my old apprentice Butch..." Roxane said growling out the name, "Did to Thirn's mind. Changing his memories? Shoving the hundred of souls from dead versions of Runeterra's Champions into him after showing him a glimpse of the Multiverse? That poorly made seal that very easily could have killed him? No. I'm a failure. As a Displacer... and mentor."

Happy put his hand on Roxane's back his face solemn, "No your not Roxane. You dropped everything the moment you realized what Butch did to Thrin and started to find ways to undo the damage. Butch fled and is now a wanted man for what he did and even his father is disgusted in him."

"...I should tell Orgran at least. He deserves to know what happened to his friend," Roxane sighed.

Happy lifted his drink and held it out. Understanding flashed through Roxane's eyes as she and Yukari clinked glasses with him, "To Thrin. A Displaced who died before his time and brother to both Cecil and Arashi. May he find happiness in his next incarnation no matter who or what it might be."

"To Thrin," Yukari and Roxane said before the three finished their drinks.
