"Lady Lissandra, she's here,"
"Let her in,"
Elise has appeared with bandages all over her body, it was caused by Diana and Irelia during Swain' part. She wants LeBlanc to destroy Diana and Irelia, but she's on vacation, but she reccomend to Lissandra, the mayor of Freljord City.
"Let me guess... The Sentinels of Light did this to you?" Elise looked away and nodded. "The Black Rose will be ashamed of yourself Elise, what if t-"
"Relax... Viego will take care of them," Elise respond as Lissandra turned and faces her.
She's wearing a beautiful black and silver headpiece that covers her eyes due to her loss of eyesight, white hair and is styled in a loose braid, light blue skin with a dark blue lips, and wears a black and silver slit dress that has gloves attached with silver acrylic nails, black heels with silver bottoms that is hidden with the crystals and has an ornate cane, she use her Glacial Path to arrive close to Elise.
"Are you sure?" Elise nodded as Lissandra went back to her chair. "The reason I asked Viego to bring you here, because my bodyguard saw his target for his little machine in the anniversary," Lissandra snap her fingers as a man with long black hair, black eyes, has a beard and wears a grey sleeveless jacket, silver cuffs, black pants and brown boots.
Elise recognize the man from the news, he's Sylas, the most wanted man in Demacia City. The police and the enforcers were looking for him everywhere, and they thought he was dead, and they stopped searching for him.
"Sylas arrived here, he was going to kill me and I offer him his freedom with helping us with the machine," Elise looked at Sylas and he smile at her.
"Is this Camavor CEO's secretary?" Lissandra sighed and he forgot that she's blind. "Anyway, I'm planning to throw a party, this will help to find her, and bring her to him."
"But how!? There's gonna be students in this party!?" Sylas yelled, one of Elise's spiderlings appeared and whispers to her, she smirked and looks at Lissandra and Sylas.
"I have a plan,"

September 2, 5:00 A.M. - Aphelios and Pars' Dorm Room
"Alright, we have everything: warm clothes, tooth brush, electronics, etc."
Aphelios and Pars are packing their stuff to Freljord City for the tour that Lissandra has prepared for the college students of all Runeterra.
"I don't know why the mayor arranged a tour on Freljord City, but it seems suspicious..."
"Yeah, but Vex told me that Elise is here,"
"Why?"
"I don't know..." they finished packing their stuff and went outside to meet with the other students. "Attention students, this trip will be long, but it is gonna be fun. But you have to be nice to the rest of the students from different colleges, do you understand?"
"Yes Principal Solari," Leona smile and everyone enters at the bus. While everyone is having fun watching the view and on their phones, Aphelios decide to listen his favorite book on a audio book app on his phone.
He starts to remember the day that he saw Sett kissing Aylana on the festival, he asked Ekko to get some information about the company, and he told him that he will meet him on Lissandra's hotel.
"My friends will be there... I'm really afraid if something happens to them," he sighed as he closed his eyes.
❄️
???
Ugh...
"Oh, you're awake," Aphelios open his eyes and saw a familiar face, he tries to call her name, but she shushed him. "I'm just Karma, Darha is just my past name," Aphelios was confused about Karma, so he sat down on the bed.
"Good news, Irelia is okay. One of The Sentinels saved her."
"I'm glad, I was worried about her," Karma sighed with relief. "Why am I here? You know that S-"
"Actually, it was about you," Aphelios was surprised that Karma wants to talk about him. "What is it?" he asked.
"You're future,"
"My future?" Karma nodded and she place her hand to his, she start chanting, and her eyes starts glowing green. Aphelios' eyes turned green and saw a vision of his future.
He saw a basket on the entrance of the mansion, and inside, there was a baby with wolf ears. Then, he saw visions from a elegant party, a man with a half mask greeting everyone, especially someone with vastaya ears.
The next vision is meeting with the same vastaya and he pulls out a gun, and tries to shoot the guy, but Aphelios woke up and starts breathing heavily.
"You okay?" Aphelios looked at Karma and he nodded. "Is this my future?" she nodded. He was confused... a baby... a party... and someone tries to kill him, what was going on.
"Aphelios, I will show every piece of your future every month."
"Why every month?" he asked. "Because you don't want to follow the dark path," Aphelios got up from the bed and looked at Karma.
"Where's the queen?"
"Karma... where are you..." Karma got scared and pulls out a bottle and gave it to Aphelios. "Drink this... I will explain it later... Go!!" he was confused and he drank the potion and disappeared.
❄️
Nundal, wake up!!
Aphelios opened his eyes and saw Pars worried. "We're here," Aphelios stretched and grabbed his belongings and got outside of the bus.
He was thinking about the dream, Karma telling about his future, etc. "I hope Karma is okay..." he sighed and he arrives with the rest of the group.
"Alright kids, I'll let you eat your breakfast before entering the plane. You can go to the restaurants and fast food of the airport, but..." the students are confused about Leona, but Aphelios know exactly what it is.
"If I see you bring alcohol on the flight, I'll send you back to the bus, got it!?" the students nodded and they went inside of the airport to get pass through the airport security.
After that, they went to the restaurant and fast food of their choice, Pars took Aphelios and the twins to a really good sandwich shop that makes good sandwiches and coffee.
"You can pick whatever you want, I'll pay the bill," the three of them looked at Pars in shocked, and they have no choice to let him pay.
Luan got an egg sandwich with a latte, Helios got a turkey sandwich with black coffee, and Aphelios got a gilgeori sandwich with black coffee as well.
"What are your plans to stop Lissandra?" Pars ask, Aphelios drank his coffee and place it on the table. "I need to find some evidence that she's working for Viego and Thresh, Aurora told me that she has some strong bodyguards to stop us," he explained.
"That's why my friends are coming to Freljord City as well," Aphelios explains about his friends to Pars, from Ekko, Akali, Zeri, Xayah, Seraphine, Ezreal, etc.
"Wow, you sure have lots of friends,"
"Yup, but only one decide to do something on her own. She said that she's on a journey with her friends, and she said that she will meet again," Aphelios smile and takes a bite of his sandwich.
"You really miss her?" he nodded and drank his coffee. "By the way... Shun will be my roommate for the trip," Pars spit his coffee and looked at Aphelios.
"You need to be careful about him Mr.Kench, he's really good at looking at phones and computers."
"Don't worry, my phone and laptop has high security that Ekko created. And beside, I'm cautious about him," he smile and grabbed his tray. "I want to know him a bit, I have a friend who's helping him with my case," Pars sighed and looked at Aphelios throwing the garbage on the trash.
"If you're worried about the boss, he's good at keeping his secrets," Pars looked at the twins smiling. "I know you and Shun had a past, but trust me, he won't get caught," Helios said and they both got up and picked their trays and left.
❄️
Later at the plane
The students ate their breakfast and decide to distract them with books, watching a movie or a show, or listening to music that the plane provided.
"Should I watch a movie, read a book or listen some music?" Aphelios was having a difficult time to choose something to relax during the flight, until Alune appears.
"Having a rough time?" Aphelios turned and saw Alune, she looks different: her white hair dyed to pink and is style in a ponytail, and wears a white fuzzy jacket, a pink plaid dress, black stockings and some black ankle boots that are snow proof.
"Alune, you look different," Alune smile and looked at her newly dyed hair. "Yup, Soraka insisted me to dye my hair," she responded as she sat down on her seat. "I have to apologize for being harsh on you, I'm just don't like people who t-"
"Is okay Alune, I know you're trying to protect your aunt's company, and I understand," he smile under his mask, he looks at the screen and then at Alune.
"You thought of choosing to entertain during the flight?" he asked. "Free Wi-Fi, I need to see some piano lessons, what about you?" she asked.
"I was planning to watch a movie, but know that you mention about free Wi-Fi, I think I'm going to watch some violin lessons too. Let's watch and analyze a video that I was watching, shall we?"
"Yeah!!" The twins got their free Wi-Fi to watch some music lessons, meanwhile, Pars was looking at Soraka watching a famous K-Drama on the screen, he decide to slip a piece of paper onto her bag, then he went to watch a superhero movie.
When Soraka grabs her bag to find some headphones, she saw the paper and opens it. "I'm sorry about your stand in The Dusk and Dawn Festival," Soraka couldn't recognize the writing because it was written by computer, at least someone apologize to her and place the note on the bag and pulls out her headphones.
While everyone was entertained, Shun was reading an article about the shimmer pipes in Zaun City, it was connected through The Glasc Asylum and caused an explosion. "The only way that cause an explosion is by fire. Someone had a lighter or matches, or someone with fire powers," he wrote everything on his notepad and place it onto his backpack, grabbed his earbud case, and then place the backpack onto the overhead bin.
"Sir, do you like a snack or a drink?" the flight attendant ask and he nodded. "Some gummies and a bottle of water," she gave the bag of gummies and the bottle of water to Shun, he thanked her and she left.
He decide to watch a police show while eating some gummies, he was having a great time until someone interrupts him.
"Omg!! This is bullsh*t!! Why are we going to a place that is so damn cold!!" The students saw the snotty girl that has blonde hair, blue eyes and her outfit is all pink. Everyone is tired of this student, especially Shun, he decide to pull out some melatonin gummies, he put one inside and show it to the student.
"Eat one,"
"At least someone is nice," she picked the melatonin gummy that Shun place it and ate it. He looked at Hunter and he was shocked what Shun did, the girl felt drowsy and fall asleep.
"Looks like the quiet ones are scary as hell!!"
❄️
Meanwhile at Sett's Flight
"Oh Settrigh, I can wait to show my outfit for Freljord City trip!!"
"Yeah, I'm not a fan of sleeves, but I'm doing it because is so damn cold," Sett and Aylana were sat next to each other, while their friends are in a different seat.
"So... what are you gonna do on this trip?" Aylana ask. "Thresh's business partners will be here, and I have to deliver some files to them as Thresh's request."
"What kind of files?" She asked curiously. "He said that is a surprise for the anniversary of Sentinel Co." he replied. Caelum and Talon looked at Sett with Aylana and that made them spying on them.
"What the hell are you boys doing?" they both turned and saw Samira serious. "Katarina will kill you if you guys are spying on them," the boys looked at each other, and then on Samira.
"Sorry Sam, you see... that Aylana gal looks very suspicious," Caelum says. "You're not the only ones, Briar and Rell felt the same as well," Samira and the boys sat normally when a flight attendant passed by.
"I'm glad Kat is sitting next to Rell far away," Talon looked at Katarina and Rell watching a movie with headphones on, and then looked at Samira.
"I'm worried about Sett, when I talked to Swain about Aylana, he told me that it kooks suspicious as well."
"Is he investigating?" Talon nodded to Caelum's answer. "I heard him talking to someone, and he send them to investigate her and Paeseyon Co."
"Damn... but I feel bad for Kat, she and Aylana are good friends, and s-"
"I know Sam, but we have no other choice. We need to save Sett before is too late, we need Rell and Briar to talk about it," they both nodded.
Meanwhile, Rell and Katarina finished watching a fashion movie and decided to watch a romantic comedy instead. "What are your plans for the trip Canwell?" Katarina ask.
"Well, since Aylana wants to hang out with Sett, I just want to meet other people from different colleges. I did met quite a lot in The Dusk and Dawn Festival, is the only way to promote the business," Katarina was surprised about Rell's strategy of meeting new people and making her family's business boom.
"What about you?"
"Well, I'm planning to buy clothes for future parties since Swain is planning to be mayor of Valoran City,"
"She doesn't know that Freljord City sells winter party outfits only," Rell smile at Katarina and decide to continue to watch the movie.
"Ma'am... are you o-okay?" The Flight Attendant asks Briar, she was eating some food that she ordered, thankfully... her father saved money in case she gets hungry.
"Yeah!! I need more!!" She grins at the flight attendant, and she got scared and ran away. Samira appears and brought some candy. "There ya go Briar, Samira brought some candy," Briar looked at Samira and smile at her.
"Samira!! You're the best!!" She starts eating the candy until she fall asleep. Everyone at the plane got confused as Samira went to her seat.
"I bought melatonin gummies, just in case," Talon and Caelum got scared at Samira and they decide not to ask her much.
While the students are having fun, Karma was watching Sett and Aylana from the distant. "This girl is no good, she's going to manipulate h-"
"Ma'am, here's your drink," Karma opens her eyes and saw the waiter from the flight attendant. "Thank you so much," she grabbed her glass of champagne, she looked at the drink and drank it.
"I need to save them from her before is too late,"
It was a long flight, there were quite of turbulence because of the snow, but it was a good flight according to the students.

Aphelios put his phone away and went towards them. "Alright everyone, I hope you brought some warm clothes, because this is a cold city. We will stay on a hotel to rest while we wait for the taxi that Lissandra provided, got it?" the students said yes and they went to the hotel.
Aphelios arrived at his hotel room to take a bath and rest, it was a long flight for this guy. He went to his phone, but... he decide to look for cameras, he closed his eyes and saw one on the flowers.
"Phel, Freljord City has cameras on all around the hotels. Lissandra did it, she can't see, but she can feel us. Good thing that I will hack on those cameras for you," those were Aurora's words, he pulls out the violin and starts playing.
It is the signal that he's ready to hack the cameras, Aurora smirks and starts hacking the cameras. Aphelios stops the music and pulls out his phone and saw his group chat.
Chat:
Ekko: We're here safe
Dal: Where should we meet?

Aphelios put his phone away and open his suitcase and found an expensive coat, gloves, pants and boots. He didn't have time to buy a scarf, but it will be fine without it.
"I finally found something to impress everyone,"
