Outside the towering Demacia, Galio's massive stone statue is guarded. Created against the magus of the enemy, he stood motionless for decades, until the presence of mighty magic made him transform himself alive. Once activated, Galio spent most of her time enjoying the joy of battle and the rare privilege of protecting her people. But victory is always twofold, because the magic he defeats is also the source to help him wake up, and after the victory, he will return to as quiet as day.
The process of fabricating Galio began after the War of the Ancients, when refugees across the land fleeed their magical powers of destruction. Some say that in western Valoran, a group of people were hunted by a group of dark sorcerers. Exhausted for non-stop movement, they hide in the shade of a forest of fiber. Suddenly, the witches discover their magic has no effect in this strange forest.
It seems that the fossil stalks are naturally permeable membranes, and all the witchcraft used in them will turn out as soon as they are released. No longer helpless, the troops turned their swords against the dark mages and threw them out of the land.
Some people think that this shelter is a gift from the gods, others consider it a worthy reward after the arduous journey, but they all agree: this will be the new home of they.
Over the years, settlers made protective tools from the forest. Finally, they found that the wood could be mixed with ash and limestone to form the antimatter - a highly magical material. This is the foundation of a new civilization, helping to create the first wall of the new Demacia kingdom.
For years, the barriers to the demise were all that the Demacians needed to feel safe from the magical threat inside their homeland. On rare occasions, when they want to resolve conflicts outside, their military forces show their prowess and fear. But when the enemy uses magic, the Expeditionary Force Demacia does not have much to fight back. The elders of the kingdom decided that, somehow, they had to put the defense of the walls of the suicide into the battle. They summoned the Durand sculptor to make some kind of antimatter shield for the military, and after two years, the artist revealed his masterpiece. Although not everyone expected, the gigantic Galio wing became an essential part of defending the country, as well as the symbol of Demacia's power over Runeterra.
Each time facing the danger of magic, they all take Galio with. Using a pulley system, a steel hammer and countless cattle and buffaloes, they would drag the giant statue to the battlefield. Too much of the presence of the presence of mysterious attacks, it is easy to disable nearly all the magic attacks, so that people who have to put their head out of the magic can now raise his head to face it in fair fight. The invaders drown as soon as they see a form of fear scattered over the trees in front of them - the "magical eater" symbolizes a kingdom, and terrorizes those who oppose it. During that time, no one thought what would happen when the statue exposed itself to such enormous magic.
This strange effect will change the flow of history. Demacia is having a conversation with Noxus in the battle of the Naluk Mountains in northern Valoran. Demacia does not know that Noxus has assembled a group of elite war mages called Mushroom Cannon. As the invaders attacked the Demacian troops in the valley, the others poured down their heads with a series of magic spheres. To the amazement of the Demacians, they penetrate Galio's magical resistance.
In thirteen days, the Demacian army was attacked by enemies, and the survivors felt their spirit dissipated hour by hour. At a time when the spirit can not be lowered anymore, they hear the voice of the reincarnation of the magical explosion to rupture the ranks. But this time, the explosions accompanied a new sound. A slow roar that fluttered the valleys, as if the mountains were grinding each other. A great black shadow grew on top of his head, leaving Demacia wary, fending for death.
"We hit?" A low voice came from above.
The Demacians were surprised to find that voice came from the huge statue behind them. Galio is moving, speaking, completely self. In some way, the long-term accumulation of magic brought him life.
All of them gasped at Galio, trying to understand what they were seeing. Before any further awareness, another bombardment echoes the camp, following the perfect orbit to wipe out a handful of fallen soldiers. Galio stood before them, shielded them, and absorbed all attacks with the giant body.
Galio turned to the source of the attack and found five men standing on the nearby slope.
"Terrible enemy! Do some violence! "The giant screamed.
As he climbed up the ridge, Noxus tried his best to gather enough energy to burn all the rocks in Valoran. But as the light vanished, Galio stood there, closing his eyes, his body shining, as if he had just drunk them. Then, with the enthusiasm of a child, he continued to climb the mountainside and crush the mantle of magic.
Noxus retreat, the Demacia survivors stood up and shouted victories. They were eager to thank the guardian for saving his life, but as soon as he was alive, he stopped moving, returning to the position he stood on the pedestal.
In our hometown, the strange story of the giant statue was revived everywhere by those who attended the Battle of the White House. But it is always received in silence, as if it was a story told by a madman. In the end, those who witnessed this story stopped talking about it for fear that people would question their sanity. It has become a legend - perhaps an old-fashioned parable to help people through difficult times.
No one, from every part of the kingdom, believes that the giant statue continues to see all passing by. Despite his immobility, he remained alert, eager to experience the sensation of fighting the battle again. Fighting the enemy with a huge rock fist is so exciting, but stuck in this huge body, unable to budge, so tragic.

Forced to observe in silence, Galio watched humanity pass under his feet, placing the altarpiece year after year, as a distant virtual dream. Despite knowing very little about each of them, he began to feel like a nation. He finds it difficult to understand that they have disappeared with time, and seem to be replaced by new people with their own new life.
He wondered where they went when they disappeared. Perhaps they were sent to repair, resembling Galio as he returned from the battlefield?
After one of Freljord's countless battles against the barbarians, Galio saw the long line of men carrying what looked like hammocks covering the city. As the parade passed, a curtain slipped out, revealing the pale, silent face of a young soldier. A Galio boy had seen, and the giant guard could not understand why a brave man would suffer to be carried on a cloth covering the city. Galio begins to realize the sad answer - unlike him, these people can not be repainted, easily remedy the damage done to them. Mankind, the plankton, and now you understand how much they need your protection. Fighting was his passion, but these people are now his purpose.
Since then, Galio has only been able to enter the battle a few times, and sometimes has spent many centuries standing still. Magic is rare in the world more than before, and so he remains dormant, observing the world through the shadow of the awakening dream. The greatest hope of the giant statue is to bathe yourself in the mighty magic that never comes to sleep again.
Only then did Galio realize his ideal, forever standing up to fight as a permanent protector of Demacia.
