Retribution - The Full Story of Varus

hello everyone and welcome I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how many people couldn't wait for me to cover the new Varys and I have to say I understand why because we have never had so much story focused on a single character so without further ado let's have a look at Varys the arrow of retribution the mortal mages of runeterra wielded wild magic heedless of the consequences beyond their own world their reckless use of magic attracted the hunger of the dark in who sent their finest warriors to conquer this new world Varys travels to Terra with the second wave of invaders and with his crystalline bow he assassinated enemy commanders and champions helping the dark and defeat the mortal armies with ever greater ease he was a deadly killer who loved to torment his foes with arrows driving them to insanity before closing for the kill soon after aatrox is fall varus was cornered by vestian moon stalkers and human mages in service of a golden armored warrior queen they bound him within his crystal in both leaving him to howl with impotent rage by now the corrupting influence of the darken was known and the warrior Queen alone wielded the deadly bow in the final battle of the war loosing the last bolt that broke the bridge to the darkened world forever at the end of the darken war the Queen carried varus's bow to the land that would become known as Ionia her last act was to imprison the boat deep within a lightless cell sank deep beneath a mountain temple overlooking the village of Palace there it remained imprisoned by the natural magics of Ionia and the ritual ministrations of its guardians the bow remained hidden deep underground for centuries unknown untouched all but forgotten I owe Nia a land of magic land of balance a land of light but not always a land of peace just as there are creatures within ionia who seek to upset its order so to order those who fight to preserve it arrows of protection hunters of monsters Val Mar and Kai are two such hunters but not all monsters can be defeated with bow and steel and not all darkness can be so easily banished by the light in the Nystrom forests of Ionia loose damn you not yet hey over here palmar move Swift as the wind and let flesh and steel strike as one I serve the great balance with heart and steel in thought and deed very poetic guy now are you gonna help me before I bleed to death the thing barely scratched you trust me it doesn't feel that way risky move going for the high cut to the beasts throat do not talk to me about risky moves what were you thinking leaping up to the tree like that I was giving you an opening you think I needed one I don't know I just reacted that has always been your problem well you react without thinking later that day how much longer smells like it's ready no I mean how much longer until we reach Palace it's a day's ride to my mother's house assuming your stitching holds there's not a surgery in ionia it can match my skill with a needle you can wrestle the spirit Walker and those stitches would not split feels much better now it's not even painful the serpent leaf poultice dulls the pain but not the mine serpent leaf wait isn't it poisonous it can be if it is not picked correctly and you know how to pick it correctly yes it's a beautiful flower but it's a predator that lures insects with its scent and colors it paralyzes its prey then slowly devours them beautiful and lethal the perfect hunter but there are creatures that mimic serpent leaf prey immune to the plants thing they eat it from the inside when the leaves close the roles of pressure and prey are reversed just so even the greatest hunters are not invulnerable they can be killed and should have a care what prey they hunt I understand but do you remember what the sea rat shogen told us yes tell me he said our souls would be as one are you sure of course I'm sure my mother will love you the here an Academy doesn't give its highest honor to stupid people

and wig my dark kin we are free and one the one of three we are the arrow of retribution we are Baroness varus followed a river running through the desert its water was greedy but drinkable the new body he brought to bear his bow was beautiful fast and strong but it came with the weakness of flesh it hungered it thirsted days earlier a crook begged creature with a withered arm and a bird-like features had told him that this was shurima but that couldn't be true the shurima varus remembered had been a desolate wasteland was I imprisoned for so long he wondered he despised the human noises his new mouth made it sounded be still and primitive but at least he could speak aloud once more as to how long he was imprisoned it was hard to say he retained no concept of how mortals measured time and the bird creature hadn't recognized what he was she had no idea how far back the darken war had been fought my kind all but destroyed this world he said and now we have been forgotten how is that even possible with enough time even the greatest Horrors can fade the voice echoed in his skull impossible to ignore which one was it guy or Val Marr he suspected vowel but mortal minds were so simple and muddied that it was hard to tell one from another any race that can forget staring into the abyss of its own extinction Liv said varus we don't forget this was Val Marv decided Barris horrors became mist so we can bear to hear them so we can learn from them and not go mad such a notion was ridiculous and varus knew he would never allow the doom of his species to fade from memory he was about to say so when he heard noises from around a bend in the river ahead shouting voices braying animals and the sound of tools on stone he darted forward into the shadow of a toppled obelisk and scanned ahead the new River had exposed the sunken ruins of some ancient structure comprised of pillars and stayed use of animal headed gods yes this was the source of the magic he had sensed all the magic the kind the flame-haired Queen used to enslave his kind the kind used to imprison him beneath the rock of Ionia tent wolf the men work the ruins digging out hidden reliquary chambers as thick limped beasts of burden direct excavated rocks from deeper inside straight armed warriors wearing boiled leather breastplates and carrying hook bladed Spears guarded the perimeter varus Grint and vaulted onto the obelisk drawing back on his bow as he landed violet light built in the crystalline weapon as it flexed and a coruscating arrow of purple light formed in the air why must you kill them this was guy he hated unnecessary killing varus felt his hands tremble as guy fought to make him over the bow your kind destroyed my kid said varus exerting his will to steady his aim that's the only reason I made he sighted along the crackling arrow as a burly warrior with a forked beard and shaven scalps saw him and yelled a warning so everyone you see must die varus exhaled and in the space between breast lose the fiery arrow it flashed through the air who fears the bearded warrior through the heart burning a hole clean through him he dropped to his knees his mouth wide with shock other warriors hurled Spears but varus was already moving he sprang from the obelisk losing fiery blood red balls from his bow varus hit the ground running and five warriors died in as many bolts a further three fell pierced by the same crackling shaft a hook spear swung at varus he dived to the side rising to his feet and sending a pair of crimson shafts through his attackers chest varus sprinted left and dashed through the ruins blazing shafts of light eviscerating his targets with absolute precision in seconds it was over sixteen dead and he hasn't even broken sweat he felt the anguish of the mortal souls within him and grinned every death nod at them weakened them and made them less able to fight him the men excavating the ruined City fled throwing down their tools and running for the river varus let them go they were an irrelevance and the killing of mortals without weapons always provoked the moral souls within him to rebellion varus entered the ruin structure briefly glancing at a pair of Jekyll and crocodilian structures as he passed inside it was cool but dark the walls covered in vivid best reliefs depicting white disk spreading golden race over a beautiful land the stone floor was inscribed with a magical script that had been ancient even before the Darkin came to runeterra warding sages potent once but fainted said varus crossing the inscribed flagstone to where a towering statue of a Great Serpent headed God had once stood Sentinel some past catastrophe had stopped hold it and beyond its scent stone remains lay a lightless chamber varus entered the glow from the smouldering light at his heart revealing nothing but bare stone burned black and glassy with ancient fire variscite where are you sister and that was the story of varus it is definitely not the longest story we ever had but I have never seen so much hidden information in a story before if you read the story for the second time you'll notice so many references to so many historical points in runeterra this story alone helps a lot when creating a timeline for league of legends and that is exactly the kind of stories I love the stories that reveal a lot of the hidden information in this world and the best part is that we are not done yet aatrox as you saw in this story is still a huge part of the Darkin race or he was and because his story is still to come we have more dark in lore to go through in the future so massive thanks goes to Quinn boys bacon he was the voice of varus you heard here he is insanely talented and I can't believe he didn't make it huge in the industry yet so all the links to all the parts of this story will be in the description so if you feel like you missed something you can read the stories yourselves but if you like this video feel free to like it and subscribe for more stories we still have the project stories on our hands and I will do that too also if you'd like to get anything or send us anything the links to merch and P o box will be in
