Sylas freed the mages locked in the prison and formed a dangerous riot that endangered many lives. Sylas apologized to "Little Light" before touching her and unleashing a blast of magic that killed many people on the scene. Lux tried to stop the execution by reasoning that Sylas was a human being and deserved better than being ostracized for his powers. All he had to do was to touch Lux again to absorb her magic into his shackles.Įventually, Lux and Sylas' secret meetings were found out and Sylas was sent to be executed. He eventually learned that petricite (the stone used in Demacian technology and architecture that stops magic) instead stored magic and was able to release all of it when overloaded with excessive amounts of magic. They became trusted friends, with Sylas affectionately calling her "Little Light". She would regularly sneak out at night and negotiate with the guards of Sylas' cell to talk to him, where he would talk about his past and help Lux control her magic in exchange for giving him information. Lux once found out about a criminal named Sylas who was locked in a Demacian mage prison. Lux believes that the Demacian way is not the only way, and it would be better if Demacia became more accepting of mages like herself. She learned about the Illuminators, a religious order who took care of the citizens and even secretly admitted mages. Then they moved to Demacia's capital, which she admired due to being every aspect of the Demacia her family believed in. When she was sixteen, Lux travelled with her parents Pieter and Augatha to witness Garen being accepted into the Dauntless Vanguard. She would practice her magic in private, and keep her abilities a secret from everyone. Lux became afraid of this revelation, worrying that the magic might corrupt her. One night, she was attacked by a pack of sabrewulves and she ended up unleashing a spark of light, scaring them off. Magic was seen as evil in Demacian culture, ever since magic from the Rune Wars had nearly destroyed Valoran, and Lux's fear grew from the traumatic moment where her uncle was killed by a rogue mage. She was always curious and rebellious, wishing to find out what lied outside of Demacia's walls. While Garen was devoted to serving his country at an early age, Lux was forced to run her family's estates, which she was disinterested with. Like her brother, she was a heir to the the noble Crownguard family whom protected the king. Luxanna - or Lux as she prefers to be called - grew up in the Demacian city of High Silvermere alongside her older brother Garen.
