It's a beautiful and sunny day in the city of Piltover, especially it being a special day for the people. Progress day. The day that people all over the world travel to Piltover using the new transportation system called the Hexgate. The day where the bright city turns 200 years old.

A new trading system for the business' in the city, built from Hextech, created by a well known scientist, Jayce Talis. The new face of Piltover. 

More than five years had past when he and his partner, Viktor, had discovered Hextech. Having magic and science work as one. Before their discovery, it was impossible nor accepted to think of putting the two together.

Until they proved the people wrong.

Their discovery happened the same time, when the underground, Zaun, was having problems with the amazing city but with their own people as well. But today is the day of progress, the day something new shall be shown and inspiration shall be admired.

The square is the place the city holds a fair for inventors and scientist to come and show their inventions to the people. 

At the gates, people come in and out, enjoying the nice weather for the special occasion. A little girl is running around the square with a little airship toy, pretending to fly it. Distracted by her joy, she bumps into a man and nearly trips before the blue haired man catches her. 

The little girl apologies and runs off again. looking back at the spiked haired man, tips of it dyed pink and the base, blue, and takes in more information. But she couldn't get much for he was already gone to the crowd, she does remember a scar on the man's left cheek.

Forgetting about it the little girl ran off to fly her little toy. She ran around the whole square, trying new inventions never even dreamed of, she was amazed. 

In a somewhat glass room, a tour has been conducted for the great inventor of Hextech. Our most famous protégé, Jayce Talis." Mrs. Kiramman was leading the tour with her husband and Jayce by her side. 

"The visionary behind the Hexgates, a beacon of trade and prosperity for our great City of Progress." She said, Jayce seeing someone familiar before excusing himself and trying to push the crowd. "He's a very busy man." Mrs. Kiramman excused.

Jayce sneaks up behind a dark blue haired girl, posted out to guard the inventor. He flicks the back of her hat before she quickly turns around and grips on his wrist, pushing a pressure point hurting the man. "Cait." Jayce said pleading. "Serves you right." she said with a small grin.

She looks back up at her mother, who looks back giving a look of disapproval. Caitlyn quickly drops Jayce's wrist before turning back to her post. "You still avoiding her?" he asked holding his wrist. "I'm working." "Oh, I can see that. I mean, there's so much crime to thwart outside your family's tent." He said.

"I can only imagine the strings she pulled to have me posted here." Caitlyn said with her back facing him. "It's your fault really, for not following her into a career 'more befitting your station.'" He said to his friend. Caitlyn simply sighed. "She'd do anything to keep me from seeing the real world." 

"well, at least you'll have front-row seats to the speech." Jayce said very proudly. Caitlyn turns around intrigued. "Speech?" "Mm-hmm. I'm giving the big address tonight." He said with a grin. Caitlyn chuckles. " we really have descended into anarchy." She said rolling her as at the inventor.

"Have fun herding the drunkards." He said before turning around and leaving. Caitlyn chuckles and returns to her post. 

At the edge of the city at the ports, an airship slowly boards before coming to a halt. A man carries a can on board of the ship. A boarding officer watches the man drop it the next to other a couple of cans, noticing each one has a purple X on the side before looking at a bald man with a bunch of tattoos and then looking back at his clipboard.
