The Tale of Two Sisters
For those who are fans of League of Legends, there’s a lot to see in this series that expands on the initial lore. Our focus in the series is on Vi and Powder, who are two sisters who lost their parents after a rebellious battle against Piltover, the world above that’s full of wealth. Zander, the leader of the rebels, puts them under his wing, and Vi and Powder grow up learning how to fight and also be rebellious.
They return to Zaun, the underworld, and the years pass by. The series continues on when science experiments happening in the underground causes Deckard, now mutated, to go off and kill quite a few people. As more of the group is killed off by the chaos happening, Vander is sacrifices himself to allow Vi to keep living, and Vi, upset, calls Powder a Jinx. That’s the catalyst for the rest of the series, as the rupture between Powder, now known as Jinx, and Vi is a major point of conflict. Jinx joins Silco and becomes one of his henchwomen, and as the years pass, she uses explosives to help terrorize those around and disturb the tentative peace people are working towards.
When more years pass, Jayce, who was working on Hextech and the technology with shimmer needed to power it, has become acknowledged for his work. We also meet other characters, such as Heimerdinger, and Caitlyn makes her appearance as someone who works as an enforcer with a strong sense of justice. Throughout the course of the series, the plot thickens around the shimmer, Silco’s plans, and how Jinx and Vi are dancing around each other. At one point Jinx even sees someone who looks like Vi and has a mental breakdown on the spot, as she’s pretty traumatized over what happened.
