Riven, the Exile
Betrayed and defeated, I chose an exile.
My tears all dried up and long gone is my smile.
I pray every day for the ones who were lost.
I seek an atonement, no matter the cost.
***
Awakened from slumber, my spirit is strong.
And yet my regrets never leave me for long.
Past burdens I carry are always with me.
One day the redemption will set my soul free.
I've wandered for months and have settled my thoughts.
In time I could fully connect all the dots.
My hands may be stained, but I've paid a grim price.
A way to free Noxus I'll have to devise.
My nation's corruption I truly abhor.
Ideals once cherished are sacred no more.
Deception and lies became parts of its life.
The old, pure customs I need to revive.
No matter how broken, it can be reforged.
Its lingering evil by fire will be purged.
From ashes a new, better country will rise.
The one I shall honour and never despise.
Please join me and fight for the greater good,
Unite, dear friends, and this mission conclude.
Then once we succeed I can die with a smile,
And finally see those I've missed for a while.
