As Sliske melded into the shadows, leaving the gods and the World Guardian with the Dragonkin, he chuckled.

The World Guardian was rather interesting. Zemoregal and Enrehkah barely escaped with their lives, and the mightiest champion of each god was forced back. From what he saw of Saradomin, it seems that the World Guardian might soon be the death of many of the ones who claimed his Lord’s land. Though the Mahjarrat were ruled by distrust, Zaros showed him that there were those who would always be behind him, and although many of the people who Zaros brought him to ally with were unable to assist him, with the empty lord behind him, he was never working alone.

Unbidden, thoughts of the World Guardian brought an old song to his lips.

We humans are quite frail,
So we wear shirts of chain mail,
Nondescript and quite weak gripped
We smell like sweat (and of cheap ale).

We often stain sand red,
And act like we’re inbred,
But if you’ll fight like a fool
You might find yourself behead!


No, it wasn’t quite the same without the dance.

It was the night of the prince's coronation. People came from far and wide, even the distant land of Britain to celebrate. The young prince, Dominus, watched from the balcony as the crowds cheered. "Long live the king!" He knew it was his destiny to lead his people to prosperity. Little did he know, he would ascend to be far greater than any king.

It all started when a strange rift appeared in a nearby fishing village. The locals were investigating it when suddenly it violently erupted, creating a scar upon the land miles long, that stopped just in front of the castle. A fearsome demon appeared, clad head to toe in dark, spiked armor and wearing a glimmering crown.
Your world is now under the rule of Lord Tyris.
the creature bellowed. From within the rift Dominus could see demonic armies stretched across a blighted horizon.
Surrender your leaders and you will be allowed to live.


Dominus was losing hope with each passing day. Every neighboring kingdom he called to for aid had already surrendered. Even the great Britain's leader, King Arthur, escaped with his knights using a portal conjured by Merlin. Dominus could not stand the thought of a tyrant ruling over his people, so he lead the charge with his armies to confront Tyris.

Lord Tyris had been waiting with a small band of his demons for this little kingdom's surrender. Instead, he saw what seemed like a group of ants, no, the "king" and his elite archers were riding up on unicornback to face him, with the rest of the anthill not far behind. Tyris raised his fist to crush the king with one blow, but the archers pierced his eye and he recoiled in pain. He swung wildly, sending both human and demon flying in all directions, which caused the crown to fall to the ground, crushing Dominus in an instant.

Dominus woke up to find Tyris's crown had shrunk on contact and was lopsidedly lying on his head, his original crown crushed under a dead demon. He stood up to see the remnants of both armies scattered among the battlefield, and one very angry god.

Tyris roared in fury.
You insolent little creature! You do not deserve to wield such power!
Dominus found himself able to change size at a whim, and soon towered above Tyris like he was standing over a cockroach.
Long live the king!
Dominus bellowed as he lowered his boot.

(work in progress. Other things I can't figure out how to fit in: full origin of Saradomin's name, some retort by Saradomin on how Tyris was the one who didn't deserve that power, and Saradomin would fight gods like him to the end. Maybe some retort by Tyris about how they aren't so different, I dunno.) Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

I should have died.

He overpowered me. I collapsed. Had it not been for her intervention, I would have been murdered on the spot. I haven't felt such fear in a long time, since right before that great, first war.

But she saved me.

She was not the only one who wanted to be by my side. There was another, an older and more experienced candidate. On paper, he was the perfect choice. He was completely loyal to me, even though it cost me dearly. I was proud of him.

But then, almost out of nowhere, she approached. She was unhappy and weak, yet determined. I was enthralled by her presence and I watched her come near. She seemed to have no breaking point. Soon enough, she caught up to the other man. He offered to accompany her to me, teaching her while they went.

She agreed, but I could tell that she was distrustful of the man. As they continued towards me together, I was better able to compare them. Even though the older man displayed more strength, I saw that he was starting to collapse under the pressure. But she did not. She was able to handle the stress and continued to improve herself.

Finally, they reached me and I made my decision. The older man came forward, confident in his success, but I deemed him unworthy. His body fell to the floor, a mere skeleton. With the power released by the old man, I was able to bring the young woman to me.

"Congratulations, Moia," I said.

"Why did you choose me, Lord Zamorak?" she asked.

"Mahjarrat, demons, and vampyres were born with power. They fight for pleasure, not to grow strong. But, you are part human. You had the potential for power because of your other half, but humanity made you weak. But that made you fight. Humans are strange. They should lose against everything, but they manage to overcome all obstacles and learn from their mistakes. That's what makes them great. That's why they are my favorite race."

From Moia to the people of Lumbridge, humanity hasn't let me down yet.

Would be awesome if I could comprehend what's going on. So many pronouns, I don't know who's being spoken about! If your goal is to obscure someone's identity until the end of the story for a twist, try giving them some description instead like "the shadowy figure". That way we know who you're talking about, but not who you're talking about. Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

I did not think it was too hard to understand, especially considering the dialogue near the end. It is simply Zamorak's inner musings regarding his loss at the Battle of Lumbridge and his appreciation for Moia. It also briefly recounts the fate of Bilrach. I felt that subtlety was the best way to go with it, and I have literally no extra space in that post to modify it. My apologies.

Strangely I read that in a way to think it was supposed to be the ascension story for Elidinis, Elidinis being the one speaking, and thought "She" was like, Seren or something, and the "he" was either Tumeken or someone else unknown.

Needless to say, by the end I realized I had interpreted that really, really wrong, but when I re-read it I understood who was who :P You can only fully appreciate a story when you experience it through the eyes of one of its characters.

I had this great idea a while back for some Bandos lore.

Bandos was The Raptor at one point. The Raptor somehow ascended to godhood and gained access to time travel (or vice versa) for whatever reason. The Raptor took a new name: Bandos.

He then travelled back in time to somewhere between the Second and Third Age, and partcipated in the God Wars after creating an army. Now Bandos is here in the Sixth Age, and The Raptor is going to make his way to godhood.

If anyone likes this idea and wants to put more detail into it, by all means go ahead. :-)
