As the Armadylysts approached, the lady looked up, revealing her eyes; deep brown in color, they seemed to draw the beholder into their depths. Upon seeing them Daefon nearly forgot to breathe; the lady was so breathtakingly beautiful that there was never any doubt in Daefon’s mind that he beheld not a human woman of flesh and blood, but a goddess.

“Welcome,” said the lady, “I have been waiting for your arrival; servants of Armadyl.”

The Armadylysts found themselves at a loss for words for a few moments. Finally, Judith broke the silence by asking, “Who are you?”

“I have gone by many names,” replied the lady, “But most call me the Lady in white, or the White Lady.”

“You said you were waiting for us,” Daefon ventured.

“Indeed,” replied the lady, “I have been sent to give you direction. But first, let us eat, I presume you have not had your evening meal?”

When the Armadylysts confirmed this, the lady motioned with her hand, and a number of servants appeared in the clearing. Each wore a deep blue tunic with a gold sash, and were beautiful beyond any humans. They quickly and silently set tender meats, soft bread, succulent fruits, and sweet wines before the Armadylysts. In sight of such a feast, the adventurers quickly began to partake of their meal. As they ate, the lady spoke, “You are traveling in search of the Weapons of Destiny are you not?*

*Yes, your ladyship,” replied Esther, “We have spoken to Lord Armadyl recently, and he has called upon us to gather the weapons and use them to open the way to a higher plane of existence, from which we will receive aid.”

“We also know only two remain on this world,” added Daefon.

“That is true,” replied the lady, “The two that remain are the bow made by Zaros, Kalechot, and the sword made by Armadyl, Viriut.”

“We had heard that no one knew which two were left,” said Esther, “Yet it seems you do, how so?"

“I have my ways,” replied the lady, “More importantly, you should know that the intelligence networks of Guthix and Saradomin have uncovered hints toward the location of Kalechot. And as Zamorak and Zaros are stealing information from those two, it is certain that all four of those groups will be heading toward Kalechot’s location. The elves, as well, are more interested in seizing a bow than a sword, and thus Seren’s troops will be heading after Kalechot.

This will allow you to go after Viriut, with little hindrance.”

“If we knew were Viriut was,” said Daefon.

“As I said, I was sent to give you direction,” said the lady, “And so I shall; during the god wars, a knight of Saradomin named Hiram found himself in possession of Viriut. With it in hand, he led his fellow knights into the desert, hunting down the followers of Zaros. So far did he pursue them, that he crossed the sea at the edge of the desert and before long he and his company were lost. Thankfully, they came across a lush, fertile land. At the sight of this, his combat weary troops threw down their arms, and set about establishing a city in this new land, which they named Pax Lucis. Hiram became the first ruler of this city, and upon his death, his sword was entombed along with his body. There it rests even to this day.”

“So we must set out for this city…” mused Daefon.

“Yes,” replied the lady, “You should be able to charter a ship to take you there from Port Sarim in two days time.”

“Thank you for your help, my lady,” said Daefon,

“You are quite welcome,” replied the lady, “But now it seems you have eaten your fill, and you will need your rest for the journey ahead, so I bid you to sleep.”

Daefon began to protest, but soon found his eyes were too heavy to stay open, and slumped onto the grass, which seemed as soft as fine silk. Within moments, he and the other Armadylysts were in a deep, peaceful sleep.

Here we go with the good guys winning because they are the good guys so they get an expected win bonus. The whole ordeal with Setkul, Liam, and the ones Liam knew before is interesting. Something Setkul said also seems to have confirmed that my guess on the mystery you mentioned is wrong. But...hmm I need to look at something...*mumbles*titles*mumbling*...

It is unfortunate that while I really wish to reread all of this I am currently enrapted in reading a book about Darth Bane(the "perfect Sith&quot ;) where the bad guys are the main characters(Though I must concede that some of your main characters are "bad guys" none of them seem particularly evil)

Also I'm curious as to what you are referring to when you said you noticed in relation to Prefix Three's comment about me having three characters.(I personally feel I have two and a half, because while I submitted Zagarth, if I tried to claim him as my own my friend would murder me twice).

I also hope I'm not getting a lower opinion from you now because I have not been deducting what will happen next. That and I hope you are not in anyway upset with me for submitting Zagarth, my logic behind it was purely because you said you disliked Bandos so much(And my friend mentioned it. Btw he liked the old Caihoc quite a bit, but he does not care for the new one).

Speaking of Caihoc... am I forgetting something or where is he. I shall feel quite stupid if I'm forgetting something like he died already.

About Prefix's character; there was something in there which brought me to be nearly certain that it was at the very least based on a certain friend of his, so it is similar to Zargath in that it more belongs to his friend than to him.

It's too bad that the new Caihoc is not as popular, but he is still alive. If I were you, I would ask why Azzanadra, Sliske and Akthankos seem absent thus far rather than focusing on Caihoc.

Oh and about the 'bad guys' in my stories characters that are purely 'evil', while present, still are not common. Most evil people in rl aren't evil for the sake of being evil, they have some other goals. Now, Rue and Skad, they might be able to be considered pure evil.

EDIT: It appears Prefix beat me to the point about his latest bio.

EDIT2: Is Mcmrs still here? I'm getting a little sick of him showing up once every couple of months to declare that he thinks some of my characters are 'gay and ruining the story by existing, then disappearing when asked to explain himself.

Herba stirred and opened her eyes. She was surprised to find herself in a bed, and moreso surprised that she was underground.

“Ah, good, you’re up,* said Jayson as he walked into the room, “You had us worried there for a while. But it looks like the old druidic potions are as efficient as ever.”

“The druids!* exclaimed Herba, sitting up. “That’s right, we were in Taverly and… Oh, Guthix, why?

Lord Jayson, please tell me you killed that arrogant cur responsible for what happened to Taverly!”

“About that…” sighed Jayson, “No, I think it’s best if you hear it from someone else. Excuse me for a moment.”

Jayson turned and left the room. Herba waited for a few moments, then the door opened and a person she recognized entered.

“Sanfew!” she exclaimed, “You’re alive!”

“Indeed,” said the druid, looking a little worse for wear, but not severely injured. “Myself and a handful of others. Thank Guthix for that black-haired boy, if not for his help none of us would have lived.”

“Wait, wasn’t he the one that attacked Taverly?” asked Herba.

“By no means!* exclaimed Sanfew, “The man who attacked us… well, I hesitate to call him a man; his skin was dark brown, as if it had been burnt, and trails of glowing orange could be seen on his skin. He did*’t even say anything, he just walked into the village and began attacking. When we used our spells against him, he summoned walls of flame to protect himself and attacked with renewed fury."
