Reflection The summoners stared at her uneasily. After all, few potential champions have ever broken into one of the inner sanctums of the Institute of War, startled powerful summoners, and plainly demanded to be allowed into the League of Legends. 召喚師們用不安的眼神瞪著她。 畢竟，沒幾個英雄能闖進戰爭學院的內部殿堂、 叫出強力的召喚師，並直接了當的要求進入英雄聯盟。 Fortunately, Vayne's reputation had preceded her, so there was no need for violence. The room in which she sat now was sparse – nothing more than a fireplace with a few chairs. Vayne reflexively adjusted the crossbow on her arm. 值得慶幸的是，Vayne的名聲早已傳遍各地，所以並沒有發生甚麼粗魯的行為。 她現在正在一間幾乎甚麼都沒有的房間裡 ─ 只有一座壁爐和幾張椅子。 Vayne 本能的調整了下她臂上的十字弓。 “When do we begin?” she asked. "甚麼時候開始呢?" 她問道。 The summoner who seemed to be in charge of this process turned away from the fire. He was a gracefully aging man, approaching middle-age, with a quiet authority borne of true power. 看似領頭的召喚師緩緩得從火爐前轉身過來。 他是一位優雅的中年男子，而他 安靜的威壓感來自於自身的力量。 “In moments. First, I want to ask you how you managed to get past our defenses to gain access to the deeper chambers of the Institute.” "等會。 首先，我想先問妳是用甚麼方式通過我們的防禦並進入到內部殿堂的?" “The same way I know that you are Senior Summoner Ezekiel Montrose and that the woman with you is Summoner Lessa Carin. The same way I know that you take rose-hip tea every day, the route you walk to your home, and that you sleep on a very uncomfortable bed. I am the Night Hunter. Now get on with it. I have already submitted to your authority.” "就跟我知道你是資深召喚者 Ezekiel Montrose 而那女人是召喚者 Lessa Carin 同樣的方式。 就跟我知道你每天都會喝玫瑰花茶，走哪條路回家，並睡在一張 非常不舒服的床上同樣的方式。 我是個獵人。 所以可以開始了嗎? 我已經向你 的權威低頭了。" After a moment of stunned silence, Senior Summoner Montrose finally spoke. 在一陣震驚的沉默後，資深召喚師Montrose終於開了口 “Since you are not one for pleasantries...” "既然妳不是喜歡寒暄的那一類..." In an instant, it was as if the world had exploded. Then, as quickly as it came apart, it was back together again. However, it was many years ago, when Vayne was just a girl. She was back in the cupboard again. 瞬間，就好像世界突然爆炸了，但又瞬間復原。 只是這次，回到了很多年以前， 當Vayne還是個小女孩的時噢。 她又回到了櫥櫃裡頭。 “Come out, little girl. Come out, or I will do to mummy what I have already done to daddy.” The crone suspended her mother above the floor of the moonlit kitchen, the poor woman's limbs painfully and helplessly outstretched. "噢，出來啊，小女孩。 出來，不然我就對媽咪做出剛對爸爸做的事喔~" 微暗的月光下，老婦人將她媽媽無助的身軀固定在廚房的地板上。 這可憐的女人四肢被痛苦的拉扯著。 Blood slowly dripped from her, dribbling from a hundred impossibly small cuts.The young Shauna Vayne was too terrified to move. There she was, trapped, frozen, and forced to watch through a crack in the cupboard door as the twisted witch brutally tortured the woman she loved more than any other. 血液從母親身上的一百個裂縫緩緩流出。 年輕的Shauna Vayne完全被恐懼定住了， 毫無移動之力。 這就是當時的她，只能從櫥櫃的細縫中往外看，看這瘋狂的女巫 是如何殘忍的凌虐她最愛的人，她的母親。 “I'll give you one last chance to come out, lassie.” To punctuate, the crone made some mystical gesture that caused her mother to cry out in agony. "我給妳最後一次機會出來，小可愛。" 為了證明，女巫做出了一些怪異的手勢， 讓Vayne的母親因痛苦而慘叫。 Even if she'd wanted to, Shauna couldn't even cry out. The vise-like grip of fear prevented that. The crone cackled, the horrible sound echoing off the walls. “You are an awful child, girl, to make your mummy die this way.” 就算她想，Shauna也無法出聲。 恐懼已經鉗住了她。 女巫開始狂笑，可怕的聲音 迴盪在房子裡。 "妳真是個壞女孩，讓妳媽媽這樣死去。" With each more horrifying shriek of pain and suffering that issued from her mother, something warm and bright in Vayne died. However, in its grave were planted the first seeds of a searing, merciless, and never-ending hatred... 每當她媽媽發出一聲痛苦的慘叫，Vayne心中的一點溫暖就死去。 但是在它的墳墓裡， 埋下了日後無情、猛烈、且毫無止盡的仇恨。 Disorientation, a blur of reality, and she was back in the Institute of War. Senior Summoner Montrose did his best to keep his composure, while all the color had drained from Summoner Carin's face. He broke the silence first. 一陣暈眩後，剎那間，Vayne又回到了戰爭學院中。 資深召喚者Montrose做最大的努力 來保持他的儀態，但召喚者Carin的臉上已經毫無血色。 Montrose打破了沉靜。 “I'm sorry for your loss.” "我為妳的失去感到哀悼。" Vayne took several measured steps towards him. Vayne往他的方向跨了幾大步， “Stay out of my head, summoner,” "滾出我的腦袋，召喚者。" she said in a surprisingly even tone. 她聲音聽起來意外的平穩。 “You won't like what you find in the shadows.” "你不會喜歡你在暗影中所發現的東西。" “We must,”replied Summoner Carin, whose tiny frame carried a core of inner strength. “It is the way of the Judgment. How does it feel exposing your mind?” "但這是必要的" 召喚者Carin回答道。 她嬌小的身軀內有著不與相襯的力量。 "這就是聯盟的判定。 妳對暴露自身的想法做何感想?" However, Senior Summoner Montrose raised his hand to stop her. 但在Vayne尚未回答前，資深召喚者Montrose舉起了手來阻止召喚者Carin。 “I think the answer to that is obvious, Lessa. Shauna Vayne, let me ask you one simple question. Why do want to fight in the League of Legends.” "我想答案是很明顯的，Lessa。 Shauna Vayne，讓我問妳一個簡單的問題。 妳是為了甚麼想要加入英雄聯盟?" “To know my enemies. Though your magics keep them alive through defeat, I will learn more hunting those champions who are abominations than I would hunting their inferiors in the world.” "為了熟識我的敵人。 雖然你們的魔法讓他們可以死後復生，但我可以從狩獵這些 怪物，你們所號稱的英雄，身上學到的，遠比在這個世界裡狩獵弱小的怪物更多。" Senior Summoner Montrose considered her for a moment. “You will be a part of the League of Legends, Night Hunter. However, you must never violate our trust again. Agreed?” 資深召喚者Montrose想了想: "妳將會成為英雄聯盟的成員之一，獵人。 但你必須從此 不再違反我們之間的信任。 同意嗎?" Vayne only nodded in assent. With that, she turned and walked from the room. Summoner Carin, confused for a moment, followed shortly behind her. Vayne微微頜首，並轉身走出房間。 召喚者Carin迷糊了一下，但馬上追了上去。 A voice spoke from the shadows. “I do not trust her. Her mind is not an open book. She will only show us what she wants us to see.” Emerging, as if one with the darkness around him, stepped Senior Summoner Sander Grieve. The intense-looking man was clad entirely in black, the Noxian cloak-clasp the only clue as to his heritage. 從影子中間突然出現了一個聲音。 "我不信任她。 她的內心不是像一本攤開的書。 她只給我們看她想要我們看到的。" 就像是跟四周的黑暗融為一體似的，資深召喚者 Sander Grieve走了出來。 這銳利的男人全身包著黑，只有在披風上的Noxian式扣子 稍微給了關於他背景的一點線索。 “Yes,” replied Montrose. “But I would rather have her here where we can watch her.” "是的" Montrose回答。 "但我寧可把她留在這裡，這樣我們才能監視她。" Grieve sighed. Grieve 嘆了口氣。 “This will end badly. Mark my words.” "這不會有好結局的。 記住我的話。" Montrose gave Grieve a piercing stare. Montrose給了Grieve一個銳利的眼神。 “End badly for whom?” "是誰不會有好下場?" ============================================================================== Vayne: 我只是不想繼續在十里坡打怪了，不行嗎? --
