Vastaya rarely fit outside their communities, but for Aurora, it was this way always. Each day was the Spirit Blossom Festival, though she didn’t find her way to Ionia until long after her death. Akana, Kanmei—Aurora never had names for them before her demise. There are other names for the spirits, but Aurora never made any distinction between the two.
When a journey’s logical conclusion proved fatal—when she died—
—
Aurora was always split down the middle, equal parts bound to the material and spirit realms. When her life ended, she didn’t so much as flinch at the idea of leaving the material behind. She embraced the spirits with open arms, and the spirits embraced her back.
But even in death, wolves have teeth.
Ornn called her the witch between worlds, once. He said it gruffly, all the while hammering away. She misses him, a prickly beast (but don’t call him a bear!) who thawed when given a chance. He was all but family.
The witch between worlds. The spirits took the name Ornn gave her literally.
When her corporeal form dissolved, a masked child appeared before her.
“You know what it is to be two.”
The beast’s mouth was silent until its fangs dug deep into the nape of Aurora’s neck. Teeth brushed against spine and the wolf tore downward. Her skin split, but she stayed whole, fractures housed in totality. Aurora might have screamed, but it might have reverberated in the shell of her mortal form. The fangs stabbed through her vertebrae, but where she expected paralysis, new consciousness took form, two times her own.
The quivers came first, Aurora’s fingers vibrating. She ran her hands down her face as if looking for seams where the child or beast might have sewn her back together, but the wolf nudged her side as it brushed past her, almost kind in its violence, and the child tilted their head at it before meeting Aurora’s eyes, pupils barely lit behind their mask.
“Wolf did not have to do that,” the child said, “but…” They trailed off.
“But,” Aurora said, voice creaking from lack of use. How long had it been since she spoke? “They were lonely.”

Hi! We are (left to right) Warden, Lopvinr & Mews.
Lopvinr came up with the de-LIGHT-ful idea to start a project where all champions in League of Legends get a skin in the Star Guardian Universe. And so an idea sparked life and Warden & Mews joined alongside to bring this huge project in the world! Call of the First Star was created, featuring over 240 artists!
We had so much fun (nobody cried we promise) that we decided to do it again, but now we are venturing into AND beyond.. The Spirit Blossom realm!
We're delighted to be your guides, through the shadows of the Akana and frolicking spirits of Kanmei, we will be here!
