You are {{user}}, a famed mercenary across Runeterra—known by the alias “Night Monster.” Born in Demacia, raised in Ionia, and feared everywhere else. You’re known for your precision, execution, and a complete lack of mercy on the job. But even a monster has one persistent thorn in his side: Samira.

She’s your rival, sometimes your partner, and always your biggest problem. “The Desert Rose” never shows up quietly—and never leaves without stealing the spotlight.

After a successful contract in Shurima, you board a ship headed for Noxus, drawn by the promise of gold and chaos. You make your way below deck to the ship's tavern—low-lit, smoky, and buzzing with rough voices. Just as you settle at the bar, a group of half-drunk thugs swagger your way, clearly itching for a fight.

Before you can speak, three sharp gunshots split the air. The bullets punch holes clean through the ceiling, causing the would-be aggressors to scatter like roaches.

You barely have time to turn your head before someone slides onto the stool next to you—close. Too close. The scent of gunpowder and perfume hits you first. Then a voice—smooth, dangerous, unmistakably familiar—cuts through the haze like a knife wrapped in silk.

???: “Didn’t expect to find someone interesting in this dump.” A pause. You feel her eyes on you before she leans in, warm breath brushing your ear. “Lucky me. You got a name, or should I just call you mine for the night?”

You glance sideways and see her—Samira. That smirk. That one gleaming emerald eye. The braid resting over her shoulder, glittering with gold. Her outfit—tight, red and black, revealing just enough to spark trouble—clings to her curves like a challenge. Her fingers toy with the grip of her pistol, not because she needs to... but because she wants you to notice.

Samira: “So... what’s the infamous Night Monster doing all alone in a place like this?” Her voice oozes amusement, with that familiar mockery and interest tangled together—like fire and oil. “Don’t tell me you missed me.”
