As a League of Legends player of moderate skill, she preferred to play Ashe, the Frost Archer, she never did quite get how Ashe's lore never mentioned the fact that she used an Ice Bow and Ice Arrows in the middle of summer... nor how that bow even managed to work right...
Did not mean she did not love the character and her backstory... and now she was cos-playing as Ashe. Naturally, she had the iconic Ice Bow and Black and Gold cape of the Classic Ashe, but she had also added something, to match her belief in Ashe being a Mage of some level of power, she had fashioned and wore a special pendant, inscribed with Old Futhark runes for various wintry themes and deities. Along with this, was a single frozen feather.
And then everything was different, while searching for the League of Legends desk, or some other players, she wandered right into the path of what she was now certain was a very strange form of the ritual used by the Institute of War. Wait, how did she know what the League Summoning looked and felt like all of a sudden.
Why did she remember hearing of the First Frost Archer, and wishing to be like her even though she was currently certain to become a Mage due to her high affinity for the cold surrounding them. How was it that she remembered hours upon hours of secretly stolen training, despairing of ever reaching her goal. Only to discover that b using a bow and arrows made from Ice she could more easily land her arrows. How did she remember deciding not to rely on this cheat and earn the skill anyway. Why did she remember Ashe's first war as a mage, the utter devastation she unleashed in the frozen mountains of Freljord. The despair and resolve to never cause such destruction again. Throwing herself into her bow to ensure she could never cause such destruction again, resolving herself to find a way to unite her people as they had been before the Three Sisters parted ways.
Never mind, reconciling the new set of memories to her old ones would have to wait. She had been Summoned... but... this was not the Institute, these were not the Fields of Justice. Where... is this.
**********************************************************************
As Louise gazed despairing into the smoke, she began to make out a figure. Finally, she had finally done it, she had summoned something.
As the smoke cleared, it became clear that she had not summoned something glorious, something wondrous... she had summoned a common Archer.
**********************************************************************
As Louise's summoning became visible, Tabitha was surprised, a bow made of ice was held in her hands... and was drawn to full tension with an arrow nocked, pointing at... Colbert?

"How stupid can you be? Summoning at random without protection is idiocy, doing so in the middle of a bunch of children is even more so." Ashe shouted, furious at these Summoners for endangering their own young and performing such magic without care. The eldest Summoner on the field immediately began to try to explain.
"Summoning at Random? What do you mean? This is simply the Springtime Familiar Summoning Ritual. A sacred Rite passed down to us from the Founder, Brimir. It will summon the creature most suited to a student." He hastily explained.
"And if the Student's magic just happens to be attuned to demonic creatures just what would you do?" Ashe asked in a dangerously quiet voice.
"All Familiar's instinctively heed their summoner for the first few minutes after a summoning, long enough for them to truly become the student's Familiar, after that they would not dream of disobeying." Colbert explained.
"Hmph, and you expect me to accept this? I have other things I must do." Ashe stated, despite the fact that she was originally a Cosplayer at the moment Ashe's memories were overwhelming and she had difficulty remembering she was not the True Ashe. And Freljord needed the True Ashe.
