6: A Wolf Among Piltovans

"Oh wow, you don't actually look that bad when you're clean." Jinx laughed at me.

"It feels weird. But it'll do." I say brushing my hand through my hair. Jinx and I went to someone to cut my hair. I guess due to seventeen years of being trapped in a cage hair is the least of your worries. But I had to look nice for this party tonight, I heard the members of the council and even the famous 'Man of Progress' Mister Jayce Talis himself were going to be there. 

Since some of the most powerful people of Piltover were there I'd have to work even harder. But I was created by the most manipulative group of people in history, you don't get imprisoned by them without learning a couple things about being cunning in a conversation.

We went to the same clothes store as last night and I was glad to see my suit ready. Sure enough the man was right when he said I'd love it. It was sleek and smooth, made from silk so fine it felt like it was gifted by god.

I took it as Jinx and I made it back to our residence. "I'm going to the library till it's time for the party. You can stay here or go to the Undercity but if you aren't here when I'm ready for the party I'll leave you."

"The library?! Boring!" She groans extending the word boring for a few seconds. "Let's go do something fun! Like train! Teach me how to fight!" She says excitedly punching the air in a flurry of combos. Peeking at my interest she seemed to remeber something while punching the air. It was clearly a bad memory judging by the way she stopped and looked down sad.

"How about this, I rent some books to read and then we can go train somewhere."

She shook her head really fast to rid herself of her thoughts as she turned to me "Sweet beans! I know the perfect place!"

After going to the Piltover academy I grabbed piles of books before Jinx and I went back to the Undercity. She lead me to a dark and empty place "Where is this?" I asked her.

She pointed to the sky "I live up there!"

Looking up there was a collapsed giant fan at stuck in the cavern we were in "You live there? Is it safe? It looks like it's about to fall apart any second."

"Cool right?!"

I chuckle before feeling a small tug coming from above us. Then I remembered it felt just like the magical power coming from that massive tower Topside. I decided to ask her later as I put her through some training drills to build up her tiny muscles. As she exercised I read through some books, all of which were about Piltover politics, history and most importantly Hextech. The marvel that has taken Piltover by storm. 

As I read I finally understood where that magical energy is coming from. Hextech is mixing technology with magic to power seemingly impossible feats. It was invented by Jayce Talis himself as well as his partner Victor, who prefers leaving social affairs to Jayce. But since I can feel it here that means Jinx has some of these so called Hexcrystals.

"Hey, why am I doing this?" Jinx says panting hard as she fell to lie on the floor.

"There is nothing wrong with making your body stronger. Even with a firearm it never hurts to be able to fight without one."

"Yeah but I've been doing it for over an hour now. Can't I at least have a break."

I chuckle "Sorry, I forgot you can't go without rest as long as I. Take me up there, I wanna check it out." I finish pointing to the crushed fan she lives in.

"Why?"

I shrug "Call me curious."

"Alright then curious fine." She says getting up, she wanted to run but due to the exercise she went through her body wouldn't cooperate. "AH! Stupid body."
