Due to issues that had been cropping up with connections to the summoners, all of the champions had been given a few weeks of vacation time. At first, this sounded like a great idea to Riven, as it meant that she could go wandering around or go on a quest...until the caveot of her having to return to her room every night just in case they got the connections back up properly. This resulted in a full day of practice for Riven as she sorted out the emotional conflict it brought, and should have meant a good nights rest for once.
Instead, Riven woke up to hear someone knocking on her door excitedly, their words not really being audible through the thick wood of it.
