Skakard, The Twisted Celestial

Skakard, once a great Celestial Power, now reduced to a floating, squirming mass of psionically mangled flesh, smoke pouring out of his eye sockets, spasming out gouts of psionic energy that fries the brains of passerby.

In Game, Skakard is a dangerous Mage-Fighter, dealing large amounts of Magic damage to nearby enemies, and is able to peel for his team with Thought-Breaker and Shatter-Shock.

## Lore

Skakard was a great Celestial Caster, known as Skakard the Poetic, the weaver of mana, the writer of spells. That was so long ago, though, as Skakard’s painracked mind tries to remember what he once did, muttering mad things to itself as it floats aimlessly.

**Noxus? DEMACIA?!**, the mad thing whispers to itself. Demacia is where it fell, where it was tortured by these- **Anullers? ANULLERS?!** Yes, the Anullers did this to you. **Kill them, KILL THEM. suffer, Suffer, SUFFER!**

As the creature floated, it muttered things, its name, names of others of its kind, and a word that came to it from a memory; “Cure”. This mind came to it in odd tones, sweet, yet painful. As it approached the annulment slums, this word came out like the scream of a working saw, the shattering of a sword. Then, he saw them. **ANULLER?!**, the thing harshly whispered. The men carried torturous tools, used to rip the magic out of things and seal the wounds.

The 7 anullers saw Skakard and 6 attempted to attack, raising swords at him and charging. Suddenly, Skakard’s flesh twitched and launched 2 bolts of mental energy. These bolts hit the first anullers, and proceeded to make their heads burst in a shower of grey matter, blood, and bone fragments. This happened once again, and another 2 Anullers’ heads went bang.

As another swung down, the sword shattered into dust-like pieces. Skakard’s hands then wrapped around the man’s neck, and the heads of both the man, and the sixth anuller, exploded.

The seventh Anuller, a woman in red robes with a man-Grabber stick, began to run, but she couldn’t escape. A sphere of cerebral static blocked her path of escape, formed from the psyche of a head-banged Anuller. She ran down an alleyway, and was blocked by another orb of Psyche Static. She turned, and saw the mental monstrosity that had killed her comrades, floating towards her.

She yelled at the thing, screaming “I cured you! How are you still alive!?” All of a sudden, Skakard grabbed her neck, and lifted her into the air. She choked, and heard one phrase echo in her mind, just before her heart stopped: **YOUR CURE IS FAULTY.**
