Vladímir sighed as he stared out the window of his majestic castle. Everything was so perfect for him, or at least that's what everyone around him thought. He had everything going for him; he had the good looks, the property, the cars, the money. He had everything, but at the same time he had nothing. The Romanian man had some down-sides about him that none of his friends would talk about, like how he was short for a man his age, or how he's never been able to keep a steady relationship, and even how he's never allowed himself to go past first base with any of the girls he's been with, even though he had a legitimate reason (of which no one was told).
You see, Vladimir is something that most people hate; yes, he is a vampire, and that is something that he detests about himself to no end. There are some good parts to being one of these dreadful creatures though, like having amazingly good looks, not having to sleep so there was more time to do the things you need to, or like how he would never age. Vlad had all the time in the world on his cold, pale hands, but this could also be a bad thing, seeing as the strawberry-blond was in a bit of a perdicement. Hard knuckles rapped softly against the large maple door. Rushing up to answer it, Vlad couldn't keep himself from giving a toothy smile at the guest who had just entered the door. "[Name]! I'm so glad you made it! It's raining quite horribly out there, no?" He placed his cold hands on your shoulders, "May I take your raincoat?" You smiled at the man with shining white teeth surrounded by plush burgundy-painted lips. "You're such a gentleman, Vlad." Shimmying out of the wet, plastic-like fabric, you ran up and wrapped your warm arms around the man's slender torso as he placed the drenched jacket on the hanger. You could feel all of the muscles in the man's back tense as you pushed your head into the tight muscles.
"Mmm, you always smell so good Vlady." Smell, oh how he wished you didn't bring that up. A beautiful scent wafted up to his nose, and as he breathed it in his normally reddish-brown eyes flashed deep crimson indicating that his body wanted to feed. Blinking rapidly, the Romanian man tried his hardest to contain his urges to sink his fangs in your luscious throat and drink until he could no longer. Feeling the light shudders wracking through the slightly taller man, you were suddenly worried for him, "What's wrong..." He turned around to show an animalistic glint in his glowing crimson eyes. "...Vlad?"
Slamming your back against the wall, the vampire took one last hungry look at your beautifully shaking form before sinking his long fangs into the veins behind your sternocleidomastoid muscle. Savoring the rich flavour of your blood, Vladimir succumbed to his hunger and lapped up as much of the red liquid as he could before his sanity could come back to him. Your blood was so sweet, much sweeter than any other than he's ever drunk; the pure deliciousness of this made it hard to control himself from drinking you dry.
"Vlad..." His eyes returned to their normal reddish-brown color as he took his fangs out of your bleeding neck. "Oh no.. What have I done?" Wrapping his muscled arms around you, the Romanian man frantically ran up to his room, where he set you gently on his plush bed and sat down on the side next to you. "[Name]... I'm so sorry..."

Britain and Germany urge China to free Ai Weiwei
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain and Germany called on Monday for the release of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, a prominent critic of the ruling Communist Party who was detained by police as he was about to board a plane to Hong Kong.
"I call on the Chinese government to urgently clarify Ai's situation and wellbeing, and hope he will be released immediately," British Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement.
Hague added that human rights applied under the rule of law were "essential prerequisites" to China's long-term prosperity and stability.
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said he had learned of Ai's detention "with great concern" and urged China to free him at once and provide an explanation of the incident.
The Tate Modern gallery in London, where Ai's huge installation "Sunflower Seeds" made up of 100 million replica porcelain seeds is on display in the cavernous Turbine Hall, also said it was concerned about his disappearance.
"We are dismayed by developments that again threaten Weiwei's right to speak freely as an artist and hope that he will be released immediately," a spokesman said.
The 53-year-old artist's detention adds to a lengthening list of dissidents held in a security crackdown by a government determined to snuff out any hint of challenges to its power as it approaches a leadership transition in late 2012.
Ai, a favorite among art collectors who often pay sizeable sums for his works at auction, has the highest international profile of scores of critics detained in the past two months.
Police searched his studio on the northern outskirts of Beijing, seizing computers, his Beijing lawyer Pu Zhiqiang said.
"They had a search order, but they didn't say what crime he had been accused of," he said.
The artist could not be contacted Monday, more than 24 hours after officials stopped him from boarding a plane to Hong Kong.
An assistant at his studio, who asked not to be named, said she was one of eight people questioned by police Sunday, with the artist's wife and driver later also detained.
Everyone apart from Ai was subsequently released, and his studio was open again.
Ai's career spans protests for artistic freedom in 1979, provocative works in the 1990s, and a hand in designing the Bird's Nest stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
His public comments, activities and art are some of the loudest and most flagrantly defiant forms of speech in China, where government controls on the Internet and traditional media constrain civil society.
Ai has never been formally arrested, despite his many brushes with the law.

Yesterday at the end of the day I went to Rafa and Grampá's studio to see their current work and to meet filmaker Michel Gondry and his cartoonist son Paul, also there to visit.
Talking about comics is good, but what I really enjoyed last night was talking about art in general, from street art to animation to painting to art school. It's more of a talk of what catches your attention and what makes you think than just of what you do or are planning.
I drank grape juice and did this sketch.

An Excuse Meeting
A knock came from the door of Sona's room and she got up to answer it.
Before she could reach it however one of her maid's voices came from the other side.
"Please Mrs. Buvelle is expecting guests today, she will not receive audience today."
"Nonsense!" Responded a voice, "My master is a high noble of Demacia! He will definitely woe the Maven of Strings."
Sona sighed and returned to her seat.
"Please she has had enough of the suitors she barely has enough time for herself-"
"My Master's feats are endless, he has slain many evil Noxians, has a place of influence on the government of Demacia under the- I will not be pushed away from my masters bidding!"
"Please leave! Mrs. Buvelle has enough on her mind! - Eeek!"
The sound of scuffling erupted and Sona heard the maid scream. She rushed to open the door.
"My master will see the Maven of Strings! He will not be denied- Dear god what is that thing- is that a giant lobster!? Hey what is it doing- Holy!"
"No! You can't eat that!" Came a new voice from the other side of the door.
Sona opened the door and saw a chaotic scene.
Kog'maw was clambering over the old messenger who's cloths were half melted and trying to tear off his face. Morgana was desperately trying to pull him off as Kog'maw's tongue drew closer and closer to the man's head. A tightly wrapped basket was dropped on the floor beside a cowering maid.
Kog'maw's tongue managed to grab a hold of the man's hair and drew his head closer to his gapping mouth. The hair turned out to be a wig and it tore off, revealing the messengers shiny bald head. The man bolted for the door and Kog'maw shoot a ball of acid at the man which hit his pants and caused them to drop to the floor. The messenger stumbled and continued to run down the hall.
There was a loud bang as the messenger evidently bolted out of the mansion doors.
Morgana managed to calm Kog'maw down as he munched on the old man's wig.
He spat it out.
"Ewwww, tastes like old people."
Morgana stroked the head of the puffing Kog'maw to calm him down.
"Please don't do that, the man didn't mean to knock the basket down."
"But Morgy, he hit you." Said Kog'maw like a scolded child.
"By accident, he didn't mean to."
"But-but- the"
"Shhh, shhh. It's ok, I'm not hurt."
Kog'maw nuzzled his face into Morgana's chest and giggled. She finally managed to calm him down.
The maid looked up.
"O dear! Mrs.Buvelle! I'm sorry I tried to deter the messenger, I didn't mean to cause this much trouble."
Morgana, still holding Kog'maw close to her looked back and saw Sona standing there trying to suppress her silent laughter.
"Oh, Sona! We caused a ruckus I'm sorry we didn't expect to get into such a scuffle." Morgana picked up the fallen basket quickly peering inside to check for any damage.
"It is alright," Came a voice in their minds, "I have not been able to rest my mind since the news spread. I guess have this little creature to thank for the rescue of my maid."
Kog'maw giggled and looked up, "Hi Sony!"
Sona smiled and turned to the maid.
"Please inform suitors outside that my guests have arrived and I will give any more audience today."
The maid stood up, bowed and left.
Morgana's eyes widened.
"Oh, you mean the bands of people that were outside?"
"Yes," Said Sona as she sighed, "they are my suitors; they just simply will not grant me rest."
"Oh, if you want you drive them away, um… they already ran away."
"Yea… you see when Koggles and I arrived they saw us and were a bit scared. They attempted to drive us away but little Koggy really didn't like that."
"What do you mean-"
"Mrs. Buvelle!" came a cry as they all turned to see the maid running back towards them breathing heavily.
"Yes," Said Sona with a smile, "I believe the suitors have finally left us in peace for the time being."
"No no," Cried the maid with her eyes both wide open
"What happened?"
"The front porch and the entrance way, arrows, swords, and rubble! And everything is melted!"
Sona's eyes widened and she looked towards a red faced Morgana and a giggling Kog'maw.
"Me eats a chair and a moving house!"
Morgana spoke up; ashamed, "I couldn't control Koggles because they tried to shoot at me. He ended up devouring a large black carriage before I could drag him into the house.
The maid gasped "O my- The Demacian Nobleman was in the carriage!"
"Oh no no no." Assured Morgana, "A relatively large man managed to squeeze out of the carriage before Kog'maw gobbled it down. He ran at an amazing speed for someone so large."
Sona put both hands on her mouth and laughed silently.
"Please, come in, come in, you have done more then I could ask for by driving the suitors away, please come in and sit. I would love some company for the rest of this day."
Sona turned to her maid, "I will have more guests arriving sooner or later, please keep an eye out for them."
"Yes Mrs. Buvelle" Said the panting maid as she tried to recompose herself.
"And Miss?"
"Yes Mrs.Buvelle?"
"Thank you for your efforts today."
"I am here to serve."
Remembering the Guests.
On the balcony of Sona's room, three beings were seated at a table. Two of the more humanoid beings were chatting and eating pastries while the other was amazed at the height of the balcony. He would peer into the distance then come back to nuzzle with one of the beings at the table.
"Sooo?" Came Sona's voice in Morgana's head, "How fare the two love birds that currently live under the same roof?"
Morgana's face turned red and looked down onto Kog'maw who was resting his head on her lap.
He turned upwards to look at Morgana and giggle.
"Me see Morgy!"
Morgana smiled and held him close.
"It has been lovely. I never imagined that he and I would get along so well. What do you think could have made me so close to him?"
Sona thought for a second.
"Perhaps it is your land of origin?"
"How so? I don't understand." Said Morgana as she raised a brow. She was curious to what could have pulled her towards Kog'maw.
"You told us that you came from a land where a rule of absolute justice was present was it not?"
"And that elite few dominated and governed every aspect of your life?"
"Then it is clear."
"So you mean my wish for freedom?"
Sona nodded, "You learned a new branch of magic that defied the law of your land and even as far as traveling to seek power from another plain of dimension to obtain freedom."
"For my people and to stop Kayle's tyranny." Morgana spoke with an aroused and confident voice. But then she felt something rub against her legs and belly; her voice softened.
"So you mean I…" Morgana drifted off.
"Yes" Replied Sona "During the years of being threatened with tyrannical rule, you yearned for a partner. A partner that wouldn't dominate you, a partner that would love you despite your fallen status and can see into your true heart through the blacked veil. A partner that can-"
"Morgy me Hungwy! Tummy wants pastwies~" Kog'maw held his stomach with his tiny claws and wimpered.
Morgana and Sona laughed.
"Alright Koggy, Alright, let's eat. Dear me we got so caught up in talking we forgot to open the basket- Oh wait! We still have to wait for-"
"Here!" came a cheery voice from the balcony entrance.
Morgana and Sona turned around to see Lux and Ahri coming through the doorway of the balcony entrance.
"Well I'm guessing the wreckage outside Sona's mansion is you two's handiwork."
Kog'maw bounded over towards them, "Morgy's friends! We eats now! Heeheehee!" He shoved his face in front of Lux's and then turned to Ahri's face.
"Oooh me seen you before…" Kog'maws eye's widened
Ahri giggled coyly, "No male being ever forgets my beauty. Sooo whats my name?"
Kog'maw screwed up his face in an attempt to remember.
"Mmmmmm… O yesh! Me remember its-"
"… Me forgets." Said Kog'maw as his eyes crisscrossed, "We eat pastwies now?"
Ahri's mouth fell open in bewilderment as Lux fell to the floor laughing.
The Necklace
All for women were sitting at the table chatting and eating the snacks from the basket Kog'maw and Morgana brought. They were delighted to have little treats throughout their conversation, and Sona was delighted to finally have some time with friends.
Kog'maw reached inside the basket and pulled out two cupcakes. He turned to Ahri and handed one to her.
"Here Mish Foxy, me makes this! You like?"
Ahri looked at him. She sighed then smiled at him, "Fine that name works too. At least you remember my beauty." She said with a haughty tone of voice.
"You nice to Malzy! Hehe me nice to you!"
Ahri patted him on the head and returned to the conversation.
"So, how many have you gone through so far?" Asked Lux curiously.
Sona's suitors were many, and she had lost track of them.
Sona sighed, "To much for me to remember, they are so persistent and demanding."
"Geez can't they cut you some slack?"
"They are a greedy bunch, no doubt simply wishing for a trophy wife."
"Well you are a League Champion. They obviously see the charm in-"
Kog'maw interrupted "They is likey your dough balls, maybe you no keep them on your chest?"
Morgana gasped "Oh my no! Koggy that's rude!"
"But, but, they is all looky at Sony's doughballs! Even Mr. Goggles!"
"Who's Mr. Goggles?" Asked Lux with a raised brow.
"Mr. Goggles also called Mr. Dunky"
All the women recoiled in disgust,
"Oh." Said Lux with a grimace. "Yi… He's always looking at our chests, its revolting!"
"Then why you always show dough balls?" Asked Kog'maw in an innocent tone of voice.
There was a silence between the girls and Kog'maw
"Well…" Began Morgana, "It's a sort of fashion thing. I'm not sure how I can explain it to someone like…"
She looked at Kog'maw who was sitting there with his eyes crossed trying to understand.
"Uh… Someone like…"
"Well" Interrupted Ahri "I personally don't mind, it just makes me feel better. They can't stare all they want!"
Ahri laughed proudly as Lux giggled
"Ohhh, Miss Foxy here is quite the naughty girl!"
"You don't say?!" Said Ahri sarcastically.
All for women started to laugh.
They wiped their tears and enjoyed the moment of peace they have.
Morgana perked up.
"Oh wait I have something to ask you girls."
"What do you seek?" Came Sona's voice curiously
Morgana reached into her pocket and pulled out the small package she showed Kog'maw earlier.
She slowly unfolded the package and revealed a small necklace. It was shaped like an angel's wings and although it was white, it glowed with a faint purple light. The rims of the feathers were gold, as was the chain that held it.
"Its… beautiful!" said gasped Lux as she was at a loss for words. "I've never seen anything like this in Demacia, its even brighter then the jewels in our treasury!"
"That's because it's not from this dimension." Said Morgana as she smiled, "It's a necklace I brought over when I first came here. It was made to symbolize companionship and…
Morgana blushed
"So basically this tells everyone that Kog'maw is your's huh?" Said Ahri flatly.
"Well, it's more of a-"
"Oh, so you want to go that far with him huh?"
Morgana blushed even more vibrantly, "This was a necklace that I made back during the war between in our world. I guess I just really wanted to have someone to hold. I never found anyone back in my world but I guess in this world. I found someone to share my life with.
All four women turn to a clueless Kog'maw who was peering over the balcony.
Kog'maw turned around and walked over to cuddle Morgana.
"Yesssh?" He asked as he nuzzled between her arms.
Morgana held up the necklace.
"-No. It's not for eating" Said Morgana as she pulled the necklace away.
"It's for you to wear."
"Meee? Whys?"
"Because I want you to always stay with me."
Kog'maw was silent upon realizing Morgana's sincerity.
"Okies." He said as he sat still. Morgana looped the chain around Kog'maw's head.
"I'll always keep you with me." She whispered as she smiled. The three other girls around her smiled as well.
Kog'maw extended his tiny arms and clasped Morgana's hands. A voice flowed into Morgana's head, it sounded like Kog'maws voice but much more… sentient.
"I love you too."
Morgana blinked and her eyes widened.
"Kog'maw did you?-"
"Heeheeheee Me likey you too Morgy!"
Kog'maw bounded around the balcony with the necklace shining around his neck. It felt like this day couldn't get any better for him. After a few seconds he finally waddled over to Morgana and planted his head into her chest.
"Mmmmm so warm… Zzzzz"
Morgana smiled as she held him tight.
There was a moment of silent bliss as a cool wind flowed through the balcony and the sunset beckoned the moon to rise. Finally Lux blurted out what she was jumping to ask.
"Doesn't anyone find it funny that none of his farts ever smell?"
The Life-Span of Perfection
The summoning ended as the match was over. Morgana walked out of the summoning chamber tired and sore. The match was close with Morgana's team barely winning the last team fight and as a result she near collapsing.
But as Morgana turned to the Institute exit she saw Kog'maw standing at the exit waiting for her like a loyal puppy.
"Morgy!" Squealed Kog'maw in delight as he waddled towards her. Morgana smiled weakly as she dragged her feet towards Kog'maw
Kog'maw caught her as she stumbled and fell.
"Morgy! Morgy!"
"Its fine Koggles I'm just a bit tired."
Kog'maw looked worried as fumbled with his little claw's thinking.
"Oooh! Me has idea!"
"Wait- What?"
Kog'maw lifted Morgana off the ground and onto his back. He took her arms and wrapped them around his head and started to piggy-back her home.
Morgana smiled and nuzzled the top of Kog'maw's head.
"Thank you, no one ever picked me up after the Matches ended, this is a joyful change of pace."
"Me always here for Morgy! Teeheehee."
Together they journeyed back to their little bakery home, by the time they arrived Morgana was in deep sleep.
Kog'maw took care to slowly slide her onto their bed and got in with her.
He snuggled up close to her and she unconsciously wrapped her own arms around Kog'maw as her body remembered soft texture she grew to love. Soon Kog'maw fell asleep watching his beloved fallen angel snooze beside him.
The Black Arrow
"I really don't think we should do this." Said Nick as he floated after Bob.
"Dude, don't chicken out now man," Snapped Bob as he flew rapidly through the trees, "when we finish this we can report back to the boss and then we can get our original statuses man! Think of the pay!"
"The black arrow isn't natural, its-"
"Given to us for a reason!" Said Bob as he flew into town,
"Only on events that cause massive changes to the dimension." Said Nick as he hastily followed.
"Dude I don't care," Replied Bob, "Once I finish this, everything will go back to normal, this wasn't supposed to happen in the first place!"
"But they seem happy together, I think-"
"I want my PAY!" Shouted Bob in annoyance as he flew faster and faster through town.
Finally they arrived at the bakery. The lights were out as the cupids flew through a slightly open window and saw Morgana and Kog'maw snuggled up together in the large bed.
"Sigh, well we could just-"
"Shhh!" Bob gestured towards Nick, "They're sleeping. This is perfect."
Morgana's body felt as if it was floating on clouds as she slowly became conscious. The only exception was on her back where a single point felt sore but the rest of her body felt blissful. Her vision was murky as she struggled to wake from her sleep. Her body didn't want to however as she realized she was hugging something soft and familiar. She liked the feeling and grasped it tightly.
It giggled.
Immediately her eyes flung open and saw a squishy mass lying beside her. It was snuggled close to her chest and nuzzled close to her.
She looked down and saw four eyes look up at her.
It giggled and spoke. "Hi Morgy! Wakey Wakey!"
It was a blissful day for a morning walk as Rammus strolled through the meadow beside the nearby town. Butterflies were floating from flower to flower and the bees were alongside them in work. The birds chirped and sang as the morning dew glistened in the sky. Rammus sighed with content.
But an approaching sound broke through the morning chatter.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh" *Thud*
A smoking object fell from the sky landing only a few feet from Rammus. It was smoldering with purple energy and twitched occasionally in the tiny crater its landing made.
It was Kog'maw.
Rammus looked at the smoking void beast with its head stuck in the ground.
Kog'maw squirmed and pulled his head from the dirt.
"Oooooh. Owie"
His eyes swirled around in all directions as he tried to focus. He finally managed to clear his mind.
"Hi." Repeated Rammus.
Kog'maw looked beside him and saw Rammus standing there.
"Oh! Hi ders"
Kog'maw got up.
"Me go see Morgy, we still has to run bakery today!" Kog'maw waddled off towards the town.
Rammus sat down and watched Kog'maw enter the bakery in the distance.
Within a few seconds there was a purple explosion and Kog'maw landed beside Rammus in the same crater he made before.
Kog'maw pulled his head out of the dirt.
"Yea," He said with all four eyes swirling, "Me ok." He began waddling towards the bakery once more.
Rammus stared at Kog'maw as he once more entered the town.
Two figures approached Rammus from behind.
"Well Hello there ol'chap!" How goes the morning walk?
Rammus turned to see Gentlemen Cho'gath and Malzahar behind him.
"Hello indeed!" Said Cho'gath cheerfully as came up beside Rammus. "Nice place for a rest I do say!"
Malzahar floated up beside Rammus.
"Did you see Kog'maw?" asked the Prophet.
"Where is he?"
There was a large explosion in the distance as the three turned their heads towards the source of the sound.
They saw a fat blob fly out of the town and land right beside them.
"Here" Replied Rammus as he stared at the smoldering Void beast in the crater.
"Dear Heaven!" Exclaimed Cho'gath as he hurried towards Kog'maw, "Kog'maw! Kog'maw can you hear me?"
"Yeessssh… Owie" Came a muffled voice.
"What happened?" asked Malzahar as he struggled to pull Kog'maw's head out of the dirt.
Cho'gath went over and patted the dirt of Kog'maw's body.
"Morgy hit me…"
"What?!" Exclaimed Gentlemen Cho'gath once more. "Morgana?"
"Yesh… Morgy."
Malzahar was silent as he slowly realized the situation. He did not speak.
"Come on Malzahar!" Said Cho'gath, "We're going to see Morgana I'm sure this is just some miscommunication!"
Cho'gath lead a dizzy Kog'maw towards the town with Malzahar following.
Rammus watched them disappear into town.
He got up and walked away.
Morgana sat on her bed shivering and confused. She was unable to understand why she awoke to having a void beast beside her, why her body yearned to touch it, and when she blasted the thing away, why she felt pain in her chest. And finally why her bed was so big.
Her feelings were mixed when saw Kog'maw walked through the door earlier. It was hatred, and a warm aching feeling in her chest.
The door to the bakery opened.
Morgana froze as she looked towards the door of her bedroom. "How did the door open without any force?" She thought, "They would need my key. Who else has a copy of my key?"
"Morgana? Morganaaaaa?"
Came a well mannered voice. "It's us, and your little Koggy!"
Morgana slowly peered out of the her bedroom and saw all three void being standing in her bakey.
One of them was the same creature she blasted away two times in a row.
Slowly she recognized them to be League champions.
Cho'gath turned around and saw Morgana peering at them.
"Oh there you are, we've been searching everywhere, come now and help us clear up the situation. Kog'maw here says you hit him! Preposterous right?"
"Go away! Screamed Morgana harshly.
Cho'gath froze. "What? Morgana what are you saying?"
"Leave!" She hollered at them. She felt confused, hateful, and in pain.
Kog'maw waddled over and tried to touch Morgana.
"Morgy! Me Koggy! Me with you!"
Morgana recoiled in disgust, but at the same time her heart ached.
"Go away!"
"Go away!"
Malzahar's eyes narrowed as he analyzed the situation. Kog'maw continuously tried to talk with Morgana.
"I said Go Away!"
"Whyyy" squealed Kog'maw who was confused and on the verge of tears. He held out his tiny claws desperately to try and hold Morgana's hands."
Morgana felt an immense pain in her chest, and finally after a short silence, she screamed at Kog'maw.
Kog'maw froze. Cho'gaths jaw hit the floor as Malzahar floated there motionless.
Morgana froze as well.
Something tricked from her eyes. She slowly touched her face as she realized that too she was crying.
She looked down at Kog'maw who still had his small claws extended.
She darted back into her room and slammed the door.
There was a silence. No one moved as Kog'maw stood in front of Morgana's room with his claws still held out.
Malzahar slowly floated past a stunned Cho'gath and up behind Kog'maw.
"Kog'maw?" he called quietly.
No response.
"Kog'maw I think it's time to go home."
No response.
Malzahar raised his arm and with one finger he touched Kog'maw. As soon as his fingers made contact with Kog'maws skin, Kog'maw exploded with grief.
"WAAAGGGGHHH~!" Erupted a loud terrible wail as Kog'maw fell to the ground squirming and writhing. He cried and cried.
"Morgy no want meeee!" He cried as he sobbed and wailed.
Cho'gath hurried over and tried to calm the sobbing void beast down.
"Its okay, it's okay! Everything will be okay, calm down, she still loves you.-" Cho'gath grabbed the squirming Kog'maw and led him out of the bakery
Amidst the wailing Malzahar picked up the sound of another person crying. It came from behind the bedroom door.
He turned around and followed the two void beasts out of the bakery, taking care to shut the door behind them.
Coping with devastation.
The champions of the League as well as the Summoners were immediately intrigued by the sudden break-up of the couple. Though it was odd, they were seen as adorable and it showed a lighter side to both champions. This presented problems and complications to answer to for both sides.
"Morgana!" called Lux as she knocked on the bakery door, "Please open the door?"
"No!" Came Morgana's harsh voice. "What does a prissy little girl want with me?"
"Come on! We were getting along fine just a few days ago!" Lux knocked harder on the door
Sona came up and put her hand on Lux's shoulder.
"We should not force feelings if they do not wish to arise. Let us bid our time."
Lux sighed and turned around. She called back towards the door.
"He is still waiting for you."
"Sooo?" sang Ahri as she followed Malzahar through the hallway.
"What?" said Malzahar slightly annoyed.
"What do you mean what? How's our little lobster doing?"
"Our?- Wai- Lobster?! Kog'maw is not a lobster he is a void beast. And no, he isn't doing any better."
"But didn't you and Cho'gath buy a "Bake it yourselves" cooking kit for him to play with?"
"Your point?"
"Well…" Said Ahri as she asked more and more curiously, "Is he playing with it?"
Malzahar sighed. "If by playing you mean sobbing over the tiny stove and trying to make a dough Morgana to cuddle with then yes... He is playing with it."
"…Wow that's pretty serious."
"You don't say?" Said Malzahar with a sarcastic voice.
Ahri looked concerned. "And the angel?"
"Unresponsive. Those cupids started something that should never have happened."
"Well I wouldn't say that!" Protested Ahri, "Those two were adorable together and they really loved each other!"
"Well you're the expert on pink magic having used it the most."
Ahri sniffed with disapproval.
"What do you think caused the break-up?" Asked Malzahar.
Ahri was silent.
"The magic of these beings are complex, even I who use it often, don't understand the majority."
"So the power of these cupids are immeasurable?"
"Well not really…" Ahri thought for a bit.
"Yes?" said Malzahar as he pushed for answers.
"Well the absolute rule is that no one can break true love. Even the god-like beings Soroka formerly was could not break love. It was absolute."
"So you are saying that chances are Morgana has not stopped loving Kog'maw?"
"Yes, but she also hates him."
"How does that work?"
"It just does." Said Ahri shrugging, "Emotions are easy to manipulate. Her emotions are battling each other right now. They feel as if they detest and hate Kog'maw but can find no reason as to what the hate is stemming from."
"Doesn't she hate all of us for no reason?"
"Well that's because she felt us to be foreign and seeing as we consistently fight against her in the arena she isn't too happy to see us outside of a match either. But Kog'maw is close to her. Like a puppy almost."
Finally they arrived at the void estate within the institute.
"Malzahar opened the gates and floated inside. Ahri tried to follow but Malzahar shut the gates.
"Hey! Can't I come in?" pouted Ahri as she put a finger on her lips. She put on a set of puppy eyes.
Malzahar turned his head to speak.
"Well of course you can!" Boomed a Cho'gath's voice as he strolled out of the main entrance.
He flung open the gates and Malzahar was caught in between the gate and the wall.
Gentlemen Cho'gath and Ahri walked into the estate.
"Thank you for having me over!"
"Not a problem my dear girl! Kog'maw could use more visitors!"
Cho'gath turned to the half crushed Malzahar. "Oh please close the gates for us will you M'boy?"
Kog'maws room was right down the main Hallway
At the door hung a hand drawn crayon picture of both him and Morgana holding hands outside of a poorly drawn bakery.
"Awww!" Said Ahri, "This is adorable!"
"Yes!" Agreed Cho'gath as he smiled at the picture, "Kog'maw drew it while he was over with Morgana and hung it over his door to remember her when they were separate."
"She loved that picture too." *Sigh* Cho'gath looked down and shook his head. "Oh! Where did our lovely fallen angel go?!"
Ahri put her hand on Cho'gath, "I'm sure she is still in there somewhere.
Cho'gath opened the door. Its hinges creaked as the doorway slowly revealed a dimly lit room. The walls were filled with childish drawings that Kog'maw drew for Morgana.
Hesitating for a moment, Ahri only entered when Cho'gath beckoned for her.
"Don't worry my dear it is quite safe."
She stepped into the room and instantly she felt a sweeping wave of coldness flow through her body.
"Oooh, Chilly."
"Yes, well Kog'maw doesn't bother turning on the heat now. He seems to have forgotten how to feel."
*Sigh* "Poor little thing."
"Ahri walked further into the room, the walls were full of photographs and drawings that Kog'maw put up with tape and sparkly glue.
Finally she saw Kog'maw sitting in a corner, fumbling with something in his tiny claws.
Ahri, walked over and crouched down in front of Kog'maw. She saw that he was holding a clay doll shaped like Morgana. It was very well made. She looked at the doll with interest.
"Wow, who bought him the doll?" Ahri asked Cho'gath who was looking at them from a distance.
"Oh, that?" Said Cho'gath as he saw what Ahri was inquiring about. "He made that himself."
"What? Him?" said Ahri astounded, the doll looked nothing like what was within Kog'maw's capabilities for art.
"Yes, we bought him some moulding clay to take his mind off current matters."
Ahri looked around and saw scraps of clay lying around Kog'maw.
She then saw something that made her eyes widen. It was a drawing of Kog'maw and Morgana standing outside their bakery that was stuck in the corner of the room. It was drawn with crayons and pencil like all the previous drawings, but this one was much more different
"That drawing." Said Ahri with her eyes wide open, "It's beautiful. It almost looks real."
"Yes he drew that too." Said Cho'gath.
"But this looks nothing like what he drew before!"
"Void beings are much different than the beings of Runeterra." Said Cho'gath simply, "We do not possess the consistency of talent that most beings have. Unless we have fully matured, which some of us never do mind you, our full potential cannot be utilized unless it is needed."
"Such a weird way of living." Said Ahri as she raised a brow.
"Yes, to you it might be, but for us it really expresses what we truly feel."
"Well," Said Ahri as she got up and wiped her knees, "Sona, Lux and I are all trying our best to make Morgana see differently."
"You are?"
"Yes, she remembers all of what she has done with Kog'maw, but she somehow just hates him. *Sigh* There is no reason whatsoever as to how she behaves."

The liver is one of the largest and most important organs in the human body. It processes nutrients, builds proteins, and removes toxins from the body. It is often referred to as a "resilient" organ by the medical establishment; however, liver function can be seriously weakened if we don't treat it properly.
For decades research has supported the thought that liver health depends largely on lifestyle. Whether we eat a healthy diet, participate in regular exercise, get enough fresh air, and avoid unhealthy vices, can determine the long-term outcome of our liver function.
Poor Liver Function and Food Choices
Since our liver acts as a filter, there are many things that can impact it. Some lifestyle choices can be more harmful than others though.
Gastrointestinal specialists say the standard American diet is not very good for the liver. Fast food is a no-no. A recent U.S study shows that fast food consumption can lead to a condition called, "fatty liver". The research demonstrates that after just 4 weeks of consistently eating fast food, there are big changes in the liver; changes that resemble hepatitis and can lead to liver failure. Eating foods that are rich in flavonoids, iron, magnesium, selenium and B-vitamins is a way to ensure good liver health.
These nutrients can help your liver detoxify your body. Consuming more fruits, vegetables, beans, seeds and nuts can help us to achieve better liver function. Foods rich in antioxidants such as, broccoli, cabbage, and brussel sprouts can help stop free radicals and help detoxify the body.
What the Research on Liver Function Says
Over the last few years more research says that carbohydrates are killing us. Too many carbs are causing fatty build-up in the liver of thousands of Americans and this can lead to liver dysfunction. According to a study by UT Southwestern Medical Center, cutting carbohydrates is more effective in reducing fat in the liver than reducing calories. The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition did point out that if your doctor tells you that you should do something about fatty build-up in your liver, you can reverse some of the damage within a month by changing your eating habits. The key is to catch the problem.
RELATED READING: Avoid the 7 Danger Signs of a Toxic Liver
Thanks to modern living almost everything you consume has a toxic edge. Drinking water, processed foods, drugs, even the air you breathe contains chemicals that could end up in your liver and damage it. This can lead to health issues like poor digestion, body aches, weakness, poor skin and even a foggy brain.
The good news is, with a little help, your liver can heal itself. To see how you can help protect and nourish your liver, Click Here.
One of the leading causes of liver failure in both the United States and the United Kingdom is drug induced liver problems. Drug induced liver injury is caused by either physician prescribed medications, over-the-counter medications, illegal drugs, over-use of vitamins and herbs or even environmental toxins. Long term use of medications when closely monitored by a doctor shouldn't cause problems, but when directions are not followed properly serious problems can arise. Misuse of acetaminophen is one of the biggest causes of drug induced liver injury in the U.S.
Liver Health and What You Drink
What you drink is important to your liver health as well. We all know that too much alcohol can have a serious affect on the liver. Close to 30 thousand Americans die every year from cirrhosis of the liver. It is either caused by alcohol or hepatitis C. There is no cure, except is some cases people have the option of getting a liver transplant. The average liver can handle moderate alcohol consumption, but studies show that 50 per cent of excessive drinkers experience some or all of the symptoms associated with alcohol induced liver damage. Those symptoms include:
- Fat deposits in liver
- Discoloration of skin
- Swelling of abdomen
- Inflammation of liver tissue
- Abdominal pain
What you combine with drinking can also impact your liver. For instance, you may not be a heavy drinker, but you should never take acetaminophen with alcohol. Some research indicates that the two combined can destroy liver cells.

Scolari decision pleases Cech
13 Jun 2008 - 08:43:06
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has welcomed the appointment of Luiz Felipe Scolari as the club's new manager.
The current Portugal coach will swap international football for the Premier League after Euro 2008 and Cech believes the appointment of the experienced Brazilian is a coup for the Stamford Bridge club.
Scolari, 59, will officially succeed sacked former boss Avram Grant on July 1 and arrives with a wealth of experience, having led Brazil to glory in the 2002 World Cup.
Cech was on the losing side against Scolari on Wednesday as his Czech Republic team lost 3-1 at the hands of Portugal in Group A at Euro 2008.
"He is a manager with great charisma, great experience, great results. I look forward to working with him," said Cech.
"I hope that his (past) results are confirmed with us at Chelsea."
Meanwhile, reports claim that Scolari will be given a blank cheque to shape his new-look squad at Stamford Bridge.
Portugal midfielder Deco and fellow current Barcelona team-mate Ronaldinho of Brazil have both been strongly linked with the Blues following his appointment.
Scolari has also reportedly made it his top priority to keep Frank Lampard at the club despite rumours of a potential move to Italy following a breakdown in negotiations over a new contract.

Monday, June 29
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
Attendance: None
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Ryan Sweeney finished 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBI to help the Athletics defeat Detroit, 7-1, in the opener of a three- game series at the Coliseum.
Matt Holliday collected two hits, scored twice and knocked in a run for Oakland, which snapped a five-game losing streak. Mark Ellis added a two-run homer.
Brett Anderson (4-7) was charged with one run on four hits with four walks and seven strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings. Michael Wuertz fanned four in 1 2/3 innings of relief.
Gerald Laird doubled in the only run for the Tigers, who have dropped three of four. Rick Porcello (8-5) lasted 4 1/3 innings, surrendering five runs and nine hits.
Oakland opened the scoring with a pair of runs in the fourth.
Holliday stroked a one-out single, Jason Giambi walked and Kurt Suzuki ripped an RBI double down the left-field line. Another run came home on a Sweeney infield hit.
The Athletics pushed three more runs across in their next turn at the plate. Landon Powell singled to start the fifth, and Ellis, who returned Sunday from a stint on the 60-day disabled list with a strained left calf, hammered a pitch to the seats in left. Adam Kennedy and Orlando Cabrera made it four straight hits, with Kennedy scoring on a groundout for a 5-0 Oakland lead.
Anderson, meanwhile, worked out of several jams to keep Detroit off the board. The lefty issued consecutive two-out walks in the first but fanned Ryan Raburn. Detroit stranded two men in the third, then squandered a prime opportunity with runners in scoring position an inning later.
"We didn't get any big hits," said Detroit manager Jim Leyland. "We swung at some balls out of the strike zone. We had (Anderson) in a little bit of a jam. We just didn't come up with anything."
The Tigers finally scratched out a run in the sixth. Marcus Thames led off with a walk, and Anderson issued another free pass before departing. Wuertz took over on the mound and yielded a two-out, run-scoring double to Laird.
Oakland got the run back when Sweeney led off the home half with a blast to center. Detroit shortstop Adam Everett's throwing miscue allowed Holliday to score in the seventh.
"We were able to get runs off Porcello who is becoming one of the better pitchers in the American League," Anderson said. "Anytime you get four or five (runs) off him in the first couple innings is good."

What in the world is the vehicle you see above? Well, um... yeah. We have no idea. According to the video description from YouTube, however, it's a modified Jeep Wrangler, and it comes from the same person who created the equally insane side-by-side merged Wrangler you saw here.

KOCHI: Nothing is working for Kumbalanghi these days, it seems. This little village on the suburbs of the city became a role model for rural tourism when it was marketed as the first model tourism village in the country.
Though the local community has benefited from the tourism industry, with the number of homestays shooting up in over three years, other components of tourism have lagged behind. The project was funded jointly by the United Nations Development Project, Union Government and the State Government.
The project
One of the main components of the project was construction of a 4-acre Kalagramam or an Artist's Village in the middle of the backwater at Kallencheri in the panchayat. According to the proposal, the village was to house a handicrafts centre, a museum to preserve and exhibit traditional fishing equipment, an ethnic food court and an open-air theatre. The Artist's Village will also have a one-kilometre-long walkway along the banks of the backwater.
This new land was to be created using sand dredged out of the backwater spread over 14 acres. The dredging assignment was given to the Department of Harbour Engineering. They have completed dredging of 850 metres, starting from Perumpadappu Bridge.
The work began in July and was completed by October. But the area marked out for dumping the dredged sand has not improved much. An official of the Department of Harbour Engineering said that though it was expected sand would be dredged out, but the final product was slush.
The dredging was done at a cost of Rs. 35 lakhs, of which the Department of Tourism gave Rs.10 lakhs and the Agency for Development of Aquaculture, Kerala (ADAK) under the Department of Fisheries giving the rest.
Dredging was originally the ADAK's proposal to improve fish breeding, as the sand that has been accumulated at various points between Kumbalanghi and Perumpadappu was to be removed through dredging. The Department of Tourism joined it to find a new use for the dredged land.
"Neither Harbour Engineering officials nor those from the ADAK told us that there would not be enough sand to fill up these four acres. Or else we would not have started the work," said M.P. Sivadathan, president of the Kumbalanghi Model Tourism Development Society (KMTDS). He was the panchayat president when the work began.
The panchayat was expecting to get land ready for construction in 45 days after the dredging. Funds to the tune of Rs.50 lakhs were also identified for construction of the Kalagramam.
Request for more funds
"The panchayat has now requested the Department of Tourism to allot Rs.15 lakhs more. A representation to this effect was made to the Tourism Minister three weeks ago. Once this fund is allotted, we need only three months to dredge the backwater again and fill up the land," said John Pazheri, Kumbalanghi panchayat president.
It seems that the Kalagramam will take more for completion than it was expected. There was a mix-up between tourism project people and Department of Tourism. The grant of Rs.50 lakhs, which the tourism project people were planning to use for construction of the Kalagramam, was handed over by the Union Government to the State Government for promoting rural tourism.
This fund was used up for construction of walkways and boat jetty at the entrance of the village. This was a Rs.1-crore project. "We have now placed a new request with the Union Government for sanctioning Rs.50 lakhs for the Kalagramam," said Murali Menon, project coordinator.
The Kumbalanghi Model Tourism Village project has been planned for preserving and supporting the culture and tradition of the village. Even the tour packages, like 'serenading the backwater,' are so designed that visitors could enjoy the idyllic beauty of the land without interfering in the lives of the local people. The village had a capacity crowd at its homestays during this Christmas and New Year season.

Baltimore's Ray Lewis, a 13-time Pro Bowler and 7-time All-Pro linebacker, announced he will retire when the Ravens play their final playoff game this year. Where does he rank in NFL history? ESPN football guru John Clayton says Ray Lewis is the fifth-greatest defensive player of all-time, one spot below former Bears linebacker Dick Butkus. ESPN blogger Jamison Hensley puts Lewis at No. 1. A fan vote put Lewis No. 2. Here is how I rank Lewis and the top 10 defenders of all time:
No. 1. Reggie White is a 13-time Pro Bowler and eight-time All-Pro. One of the main reasons I put Reggie White No. 1 is the same reason that ESPN's Jamison Hensley put Ray Lewis No. 1: Because they were equally as dominant against the pass as the run. Or the run as the pass. Only I think Reggie White stopped the run better than Lewis stopped the pass. For stopping the pass, Brian Urlacher was a better middle linebacker than Ray Lewis, although nobody has been better at stopping the run the last 15 years.

Monday, January 7, 2013
Countdown to Signing Day: DT Bain
By Gary Laney
To gear up for 2013 national signing day, GeauxTigerNation's Gary Laney will break down every commitment in the Tigers' 2013 recruiting class.
Maquedius Bain
, Fort Lauderdale, Fla./University School of Nova South, 6-foot-5, 285 pounds
By working on details, Maquedius Bain could make an immediate impact at LSU.
Jan. 2, 2013
ESPN grade:
87, 4-star prospect
Picked LSU over:
Oklahoma, Louisville and Marshall after previously being committed to Florida
State of the position:
LSU has a huge need for help at defensive tackle. With senior
Josh Downs
departing and junior
Bennie Logan
apparently headed for the NFL, the Tigers are down to just two game-proven tackles in
Anthony Johnson
Ego Ferguson
. Bain and his classmates, like
Greg Gilmore
, will have an opportunity to compete for immediate playing time, then be the foundation for the future of what has been one of LSU's best positions in the past.
Bain is a tremendous athlete who played basketball before taking up football late. He's also a player willing to do what it takes to help his team, as he did his senior year when he moved to the offensive line, probably not the best position for his future, to fill a team need. When he develops his football skills to match his physical talent, he has a chance to be a tremendous player.
The rawness of his game means he has upside, but it also means he needs a lot of development. According to ESPN.com scouting, he tends to "play tall" and needs to "learn to better use his hands to protect himself." These are skills that aren't guaranteed to ever happen. One can always think of a raw, talented player who never learns to play with a low pad level and, thus, never meets his potential. That risk exists for Bain, who must work diligently to develop his football fundamentals to match his SEC-level talent.
Similar to/potential role:
One has to go back some years, but Marc Boutte was a tall prep basketball star who had to develop his football skills at LSU in the late 1980s. He did and became a solid LSU player and had a long NFL career. Bain is heavier than Boutte was in high school, but his basketball past, length and athleticism recall Boutte.

Humor Magazine Paperweight Is Bringing Funny to iPad
- Thursday October 25, 2012
The creators of the upcoming humor mag plan to bring interactive comedy to Apple's tablet.
The creators of the upcoming humor mag plan to bring interactive comedy to Apple's tablet.
Aggressive Silicon Valley reporter Kara Swisher will write for Vanity Fair.
Within two years, we won't call newsstands like Next Issue's "a Netflix for magazines" because it's one price for a big catalog of content. We'll call it "a Netflix for magazines" because instead of mail delivery or bulky downloads, the primary delivery mechanism will be streaming high-definition, through-designed magazines over the web.
Building a magazine app to work at four times the pixels isn't an unsolvable problem. It's better than that. It's an eminently solvable one that tells you something important about how both magazine apps and the new iPad work.
iPad owners love to read, and both digital publishers and Apple are reaping the lucrative benefits. Apple's hub for digital media subscriptions, Newsstand, pulls in $70,000 a day on average from its top 100 titles on the iPad, according to a study published Tuesday by market research company Distimo. Newsstand is an iOS feature modeled […]
Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes would like to reinvest in and reinvent 98-year-old liberal magazine The New Republic for tablets and the web.
Google unveiled Google Play on Tuesday, a grand plan to unify all the media it serves up from various portals to one recognizable brand identity and location. Call it Google's iTunes moment. Instead of separating media by category — Google Music, Android Market, Google Books — all of Google's disparate sources will be accesible from […]
We're reading everywhere, not just in books and magazines or on e-readers and tablets.
Barnes & Noble is selling its Nook e-readers at deep discounts to new customers willing to bundle their purchase with a one-year digital subscription to The New York Times or People magazine. In the case of the Times, after the cost of the subscription, that discount amounts to giving away the bookseller's much-lauded E Ink Simple Touch reader away for free.
Thursday, Google finally launched its long-rumored magazine-style publishing platform for tablets and smartphones. It's called Currents, and it's available now in the U.S. for both Android and iOS.

Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage associated with diabetes. It results in damage to the nerves in a person's feet, legs, and eyes, and to the nerves that control bodily functions, such as digestion, blood pressure, and heart rate.
Nerves of the FootCopyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
Diabetic neuropathy is likely caused by a combination of factors, including:
This condition is more common in older adults.
Factors that may increase your risk of diabetic neuropathy include:
Symptoms of diabetic neuropathy may include:
If you have diabetic neuropathy, you are at increased risk for developing other types of neuropathies, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Diabetic neuropathy can lead to serious complications, including ulcers, infection, and limb loss.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A foot exam will also be done.
Your nerve function may be tested. This can be done with:
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with an ultrasound.
Your nerves may need to be tested. This can be done with a biopsy.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
It is important to regularly monitor blood glucose levels. You can bring them within normal range with meal planning, exercise, and/or medications.
If you have diabetic neuropathy, you will need to take special care of your feet. The nerves in the feet are the ones most often affected by neuropathy. This care will involve regular visits to a foot doctor and careful cleaning, inspection, moisturizing, and grooming of your feet. In addition, always wear well-fitting shoes and thick, soft, seamless socks to help protect your feet from injuries.
Other treatments will depend on your symptoms. Medications can be used to relieve pain, burning, tingling, or numbness. Often, the medications used to treat these symptoms are the same ones used to treat seizures and depression.
Another option to treat pain is called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). With TENS, a machine sends painless electrical signals through the skin to the nerves. Your doctor may offer this treatment.
The best way to prevent diabetic neuropathy is to regularly monitor and manage your blood glucose levels. Your doctor can instruct you about how often to check your levels and what the numbers mean.

Fighting for Love (Saruhiko x Reader x Misaki)
Teeth gritted and hands into fists, Misaki charged towards Saruhiko with full fists of flames. Saruhiko got an ominous smug on his face. "You really think you could take ___ away from me by fighting." Saruhiko scoffed. "You're such an amateur..."
Misaki growled and tackled him.
"Shut up and just fight me!" Misaki's fist was suppose to meet with Saruhiko's face but Saruhiko made a lucky dodge and scratched Misaki with one of his knives.
"Why do you still care about her when she's with me in SCEPTER 4?" Saruhiko said.
"Because you forced her to join you!" Misaki shouted.
Sounds of punches and splatter of blood echoed throughout the place. The atmosphere was tense and the only sound was their breathing and the sounds of their attacks.
"Forced her? HA! She came with me because she wants to be with me instead of you. She never wanted to be with you. She wanted to be with me because she wants more power, just like me. She wants me! She needs me! She's always there for me! She would never be with a weakling like you."
"Tsk. You think she's always there for you." Misaki smirked. Saruhiko raised a brow. "I can believe you didn't know what happened between me and ___."
"What are you talking about?"
"What I'm trying to say was that me and ___ are already in a relationship now." Misaki said with a smug on his face.
Saruhiko's eyes were wide with shock and disbelief. His hands trembled. Saruhiko grinned his teeth and clenched his fists. "You're lying! You're lying! If she wants to tell me something, she would tell it to me... You're lying..."
