Instead, he beat his wings once, missing her barely, and slammed into a skypouncer that was stalking her from a short distance. It was quite strong for one of its kind, but no beast could match the might of a god. His transformed fangs dug into the throat of the beast, and as it stilled, he turned to Garlandia.

---

The girl was still shaking in terror, but she had noticed that she had been saved by a skypouncer. I inclined my feline head, and took off, although I landed nearby, following her through my double.

I was pleased to note that by the next morning, she had fashioned two knifes from the fangs of the beast, and wore the skin of the beast as a cloak over her clothing, which by now was ruined by dirt and tears from vegetation.

Over the next few centuries, during which the long and harsh winter occurred, I arranged a few minor spots of good fortune for her. Hollow trees split in such a fashion that they could be used as rafts, leftover materials were found to be "forgotten" by past camps of Icyene, and wild foods grew conveniently in areas where they never did in the past.

That is not to say that I did everything for her. Any other Icyene would have been helpless against the trials that she overcame, although her skin and hair turned white as the snow that she struggled through. When I noticed her fashioning the wings of the skypouncer into a chestplate with fake wings, I thought she had gone mad and would jump off a cliff to attempt flight again.

Then, she walked proudly into New Domina with those wings, and demanded to join my infantry.

Her complexion drew stares, but with a few leading questions to her and a handful of half-truths, she was introduced as the lost daughter of the legendary Icyene warrior Etania, who rode an enormous skypouncer into battle against the Airut. As the Naragi world was dark and dead, the Icyene believed that her skin and hair were a result of growing up there.

Garlandia, or Eusri as she was now known, rose in rank quickly, proving her worth to the army against the very rebels that were inspired by her, although the group had proven smaller than I had anticipated her resistance to cause.

She also became famed for her skill in diplomacy, convincing rebels to surrender in exchange for lenient treatment. When she requested to be sent with the army to Gielinor after the death of Guthix, I was reluctant to send her to a war that had already claimed so many Icyene, but when I realized her true intent, I approved it immediately.

I only hope that she can live a peaceful life after what I did, no matter my reasons for it.

Your story and mine work very nicely together! :D I hope you liked mine. :)


Might it be worth prodding a few people to try and get them accepted in combination?


That would be good.

Mine was inspired by a combination of yours, as well as by Helbrect commenting that there was no way that Saradomin, or at least another Icyene, would overlook a white-haired and skinned Icyene trying to join the army without being able to fly, much less sending her to Gielinor.

I said to myself, "Why does Saradomin have to not know about it? Why couldn't Saradomin be trying to atone for another mistake that he made in anger?"

Compliments where compliments are due, Solanumtinkr, you're a way better writer than I am. :D

Going to read Cybernet's next...

More compliments! This is the sort of amazing work that keeps me bumping the thread. It's always interesting to see how people's perspectives color the characters.

Concerning General Ha'kusk,

This is the third time, THIRD TIME, we have been led into an Armadylian ambush this week. You gave Captain Kursk'h command of this platoon and the soldiers directly under his command in charge of navigation to the sites of power. Well the goblins have proceeded to led us through a questionable raveen with no cover, a forest during dense fog, and finally right past a bloody Armadylian watch tower. I got an arrow in my rear which I'm still recovering and Cpl. Sten got an arrow to the knee from which I don't think he will recover from. When I suggest to take over navigation, the goblins merely start bickering over which color of banner would look best with the Bandos' symbol on it.

As a member of the 9th watch of Varrock, me and my men will no longer stand for these conditions. While it might be suited to those Ogre packmules, my men do not appreciate having drool in our rations.

If conditions do not improve, we will pack our bags and face judgement from Roald in Varrock, no amount of gold is worth this.

- Lieu*. Davis, 21st of Bennath, E169

Felt like writing a bit of my frustration out creatively. :p

The damn ogres always walk further and further into the arma invested territory...

Sorry that's a bit fast-paced, it was hard to fit Zamorak's life into 2000 characters :P


Two things I have to point out.

1. Wahistiel tells us if we ask that although the Muspah looks terrifying, due to the haphazard way it was made, it's actually fairly slow and weak. That's why he mentions that they're extinct on Freneskae.

2. The Khardian desert was actually Kharidian Plains and Forests until a combination of deforestation and warring destroyed all vegetation and turned it into desert.
