Briar

Hunger Restrained

Towards the end of his reign, High Warlord Boram Darkwill commissioned the Black Rose's hemomancers to develop new living weapons. Previously, experiments were carried out on the dead, but this time they tried to create a creature born from blood and feeding on it. Capable of pursuing goals without needing food or water. This is how Brier was born.

Her creators expected to get a killer, but she just wanted to eat, eat, EAT! Brier failed her first task, falling into a bloody frenzy. Black Rose considered her too dangerous to be entrusted with anything else, but too powerful to simply destroy her. Then the hemomancers developed special blocks, locked with a hemolite stone, which limited Brier's power and helped her concentrate. Thus, Black Rose was able to use Brier along with other living weapons when Jericho Swain rebelled against Darkwill.

Bryer was assigned a man who was supposed to guide her, but as soon as the stocks were removed from her, she devoured both him and everyone who was nearby - everyone except the target, that is, Svein, who managed to escape while the living weapon was tearing apart enemies and allies indiscriminately. With great difficulty, Svein's guards managed to capture Brier and put her back in stocks, and then move her to a special dungeon. In solitary confinement, Brier couldn't think about anything other than her own hunger. She could not die from exhaustion, but the lack of fresh food weakened her day after day.

At first, she believed that the echoes of insane screams were only imaginary to her, that they were generated by her hungry mind. Then she realized that the screams were coming from neighboring cells. Did Svein's people really manage to capture other living weapons during the coup d'etat? Are they all locked here now because they each failed the mission? Didn't fulfill your purpose?

The voices were asking for blood, and Brier understood this well. She wasn't annoyed by the constant screaming or how loud it was. Another thing was infuriating: they didn’t ask for anything else. It was hard to imagine anything more boring than an obsession with blood. No matter how hungry Brier was - and her hunger was very strong - she could not help but think about those soul-curdling screams. What happens if she manages to throw off the pads? Will she become even crazier than her neighbors? As boring and obsessed with blood as they are? These thoughts were too frightening, so Brier pushed them away from herself and plunged into gloomy apathy.

Years passed. During this time, Brier was able to realize her nature and think about the prospects that would open up for her in freedom. There was little entertainment in the dungeon: eavesdropping on the conversations of the guards, coming up with new ways to beg raw meat from them, or agonizingly deciding whether to give the spiders a race around the cell or simply devour them.

One day, while habitually feeling the pads, Brier accidentally loosened the hemolith. One more movement and the pads would open. Brier froze, thinking about her blood-obsessed dungeon neighbors. Does she want to become the same? Then she realized something else: being in control was just as dangerous as losing it. It was necessary to find a balance.

After studying the locking mechanism of the pads, Bryer came up with an escape plan. The guards were already so accustomed to Brier screaming and demanding attention that no one noticed the disappearance of one of the guards whom she had lured to her bars. And then it was too late. Blood ran through her veins, igniting a fire that was just waiting to ignite.

Briar was finally free. Now the living weapon happily roams Noxus, and her stocks are locked only until the moment when she herself wishes to reset them. Brier eagerly explores his new world and gets to know its inhabitants, while Black Rose follows the unexpected development of the experiment.
