“如果你看上去凶神恶煞，你最好真的是凶神恶煞。”

“If you look dangerous, you better be dangerous.”

传记

无论是均衡教派还是暗影之拳的称号，都已被阿卡丽抛弃，如今的阿卡丽独来独往，随时可以成为她的人民所需要的夺命武器。虽然她牢牢铭记着她从宗师慎身上学来的一切，但她效忠保护艾欧尼亚并铲除敌人，每次一条命。或许阿卡丽的出击悄然无声，但她传达的信息将响亮无比：不听命于任何人的刺客最为可怕。

Abandoning the Kinkou Order and her title of the Fist of Shadow, Akali now strikes alone, ready to be the deadly weapon her people need. Though she holds onto all she learned from her master Shen, she has pledged to defend Ionia from its enemies, one kill at a time. Akali may strike in silence, but her message will be heard loud and clear: fear the assassin with no master.

艾欧尼亚一直以来都是个充满狂野魔法的地方，形形色色的人类和强大的灵体力求和谐共处……但有的时候这宁静的平衡并不能轻易得来。有的时候平衡也需要维护。

Ionia has always been a land of wild magic, its vibrant people and powerful spirits seeking to live in harmony… but sometimes this peaceful equilibrium does not come easily. Sometimes it needs to be kept in check.

均衡教派就是一个以维护艾欧尼亚神圣平衡为己任的团体。教派的信徒们行走于精神与物质两个世界之中，协调两界之间的冲突，而且有必要的时候，也会使用强制力介入。阿卡丽天生就是其中一员，她的母亲是梅目•约曼•特曦，身居暗影之拳的位置，她和她的伴侣塔诺决定让女儿从小就在均衡教派内成长，接受教派的宗师——暮光之眼苦说大师的精悉引导。

The Kinkou are the self-appointed keepers of Ionia’s sacred balance. The order’s loyal acolytes walk the spirit and material realms, mediating conflicts between them and, when necessary, intervening by force. Born among their ranks was Akali, daughter of Mayym Jhomen Tethi, the renowned Fist of Shadow. Mayym and her partner Tahno raised their daughter within the Kinkou Order, under the watchful leadership of Great Master Kusho, the Eye of Twilight.

每当阿卡丽的父母受派外出，教派的其他成员就会担当阿卡丽的代理家长，狂暴之心凯南就曾和这个小姑娘共同度过了许多时光，传授她手里剑的技法，教她利用速度和敏捷而非蛮力。阿卡丽拥有超越同龄人的心智，像吸水的海棉一样吸收学识。所有人都看得出，她将沿着自己父母的道路成长——她将伴着宗师的儿子和既定的继任者慎一起，引领新一代信徒，致力于保护艾欧尼亚的平衡。

Whenever her parents were called away, other members of the order stepped in as Akali’s surrogate family. Kennen, the Heart of the Tempest, spent many hours with the young girl, teaching her shuriken techniques, and emphasizing speed and agility over strength. Akali was a precocious child, and soaked up the knowledge like a sponge. It became clear to all that she would follow her parents’ path—along with the Great Master’s son and appointed successor Shen, she would lead a new generation dedicated to preserving Ionia’s balance.

但平衡往往转瞬即逝，教派内部发生了分裂。

But balance can be fleeting. The order found itself divided.

一个名叫劫的信徒修行归来，刚愎自用的他与苦说大师激烈交锋，通过一场血腥的哗变让教派内部的权力动荡。阿卡丽逃到了东边的山林之中，一起逃走的还有梅目、慎、凯南和其他几名信徒。令人惋惜的是，塔诺不在其中。

A wayward acolyte named Zed returned, and clashed violently with Kusho, wresting power in a bloody coup. Akali fled into the eastern mountains along with Mayym, Shen, Kennen, and a handful of other acolytes. Sadly, Tahno was not among them.

劫已经几乎把均衡教派变成了绝情的影流。但作为新一任暮光之眼的慎想要重建那些逝去的东西。他们要回归均衡的三大基本理念：以观星寻找纯粹的公正，用逐日执行正义的审判，并通过修枝根除一切不平衡。虽然他们势单力薄，但他们会训练新的信徒，光复并再次振兴他们的教派。

Zed’s transformation of the Kinkou into the merciless Order of Shadow was almost complete. But, as the new Eye of Twilight, Shen intended to rebuild what had been lost. They would return to the Kinkou’s three fundamental philosophies: the pure impartiality of Watching the Stars, the passage of judgment in Coursing the Sun, and the elimination of imbalance by Pruning the Tree. Even though they were now few, they would train neophytes to restore and grow their numbers once more.

当阿卡丽长大到十四岁的时候，她正式开始了均衡教派的训练，决心要继承母亲的位置，成为新的暗影之拳。

When Akali came of age at fourteen, she formally entered her Kinkou training, determined to succeed her mother as the new Fist of Shadow.

阿卡丽是个练武奇才，精通钩镰和苦无——也就是单手镰和飞刀。虽然她不像其他信徒那样掌握魔法能力，但她依然用实力证明自己配得上这个称号，不久后，她的母亲就得以退居后方，担任年轻一代信徒的导师。

She was a prodigious fighter, and mastered the kama and kunai—a handheld sickle and throwing dagger. Though she did not possess the magical abilities of many of her fellow acolytes, she proved to all she was worthy of the title, in time allowing her mother to step down and help mentor the younger neophytes.

但阿卡丽的灵魂坐立难安，她始终睁眼看着世界。在诺克萨斯入侵艾欧尼亚的战争余波中，虽然均衡和影流之间达成了脆弱的一致，但她却看到自己的家乡继续遭受着痛苦。她质疑他们的教派是否真正履行着职责。所谓修枝，就应该根除一切威胁到神圣平衡的人……然而慎却总是敦促克制。

But Akali’s soul was restless, and her eyes were open. Though the Kinkou and the Order of Shadow had come to an uneasy accord in the wake of the Noxian invasion of Ionia, she saw that her homeland continued to suffer. She questioned whether they were truly fulfilling their purpose. Pruning the Tree was meant to eliminate those who threatened the sacred balance... yet Shen would always urge restraint.

他总是在限制她。所有那些颂文和冥想都能让她的灵魂获得安宁，但这些陈词滥调却不能击败他们的敌人。她的热血冲动和超前成熟变成了不加掩饰的叛逆。她与慎大声争论，她公然反抗他，她用自己的方式解决艾欧尼亚的敌人。

He was holding her back. All the mantras and meditations could quiet her spirit, but such platitudes would not defeat their adversaries. Her youthful precociousness turned to outright disobedience. She argued with Shen, she defied him, and she took down Ionia’s enemies her way.

当着整个教派的面，她公然宣称均衡教派都是无能之辈，所有关于精神平衡和耐心的说教都毫无成效。艾欧尼亚人正在物质领域垂死挣扎，所以这也是阿卡丽要保护的领域。她接受了刺客的训练，所以她要做刺客该做的事。她已经不再需要这个教派了。

In front of the whole order, she declared the impotence of the Kinkou, all its talk of spiritual balance and patience accomplishing little. Ionians were dying in the material realm, and that was the realm Akali would defend. She was trained as an assassin. She was going to be an assassin. She did not need the order anymore.

慎没有挽留也没有阻止，他知道这条路必须由阿卡丽自己走下去。或许有朝一日她会沿着那条路走回来，但那一切都将由她自己决定。

Shen let her go without a fight, knowing this was a path that Akali must walk alone. Perhaps that path would bring her back one day, but that would be for her to decide.
