You clasp your hands to your head, and start pulling at your hair violently. You let out a blood- curdling scream, and everyone in the area looks to your direction. You start to breathe heavily, as if you had a sudden lung closure. You gasp for air, your arms helplessly and desperately flailing in the air like snakes.

Your eyes roll back in your head, and you start to shake violently. You start to foam out of your mouth, and the messy heap of your body starts to curl up into a ball.
You start to shut down, everything becoming a blur before your eyes. Your skin becomes pale white, and you start to roll on the floor. You let out one final scream, your eyes close, and you fall into darkness.

After a long while, you seemingly wake up, except everything feels different. You seem much lighter, and you realize that you are flying! You are flying in the cloudy, misty sky, soaring about twenty feet above the ground of Lumbridge. No trace of your body is found, and you hear a voice whisper in your head. It says, "I told you not to say that name!”

“It was you! What did you d-do to me? Am I dead?”

“No, you are merely unconscious. I have ripped open the Shell of Dreams.”

“The Shell of Dreams?”

“I suppose you mortals haven’t heard of it yet. While I’m at it, I might as well tell you the whole story. Here it goes: I suppose that you humans have heard and slain dragons before, yes? Well, those are simply pawns in the midst of many rooks and knights.

Above those are the Dragonkin, my loyal supporters. Through my complicated system of infantry, I have heard that you seem to be a master of that Reaping skill. When you wielded that Reaper’s Scythe, you don’t just get into the Death Zone by magic. It has to have some sort of source, and that source is usually provided by my Dragonkin.

However, I have watched you over the years, seemingly representing Saradomin. However, if there is one thing I know, it’s that I know a Zamorak follower when I see one.

Deep inside, although you might not want to admit it, is a pleading voice that wants to worship me, something that screams out inside you, but you silence it every time. There is evil in everything, including you. The mass part of evil inside of you is tremendous.

The Gods have many special powers, and their powers may differ. One of my favorites however, is the mind penetrating power. I am able to penetrate the security of one’s mind, by going into the form of a spirit, invisible to everyone else. Some people’s minds are harder to penetrate than others, and this is based on numerous factors.

The main two factors would be your Defense level, as well as your intelligence factor, or as you mortals call it, your IQ. Your penetration was quite a burden, as you are quite a fighter, yet very intelligent. Once inside however, I was in your thoughts. The interior of your brain isn’t quite as you picture it. While you humans look at it scientifically, we go in as spirits, making everything much more complicated.

Your mind is made up of many things, including passions, interests, personality, thoughts, feelings, and dreams. Each one is heavily guarded by a sort of forcefield. Getting access into these kinds of chambers is extremely difficult, even in the form of a God. I happened to stumble upon your Chamber of Dreams, and it was no easy task getting inside.

I needed power sources from all over Gielnor! You see, each time a living being dies on Gielnor, although they are revived safely, a small bit of energy is taken each time. This should have no effect on that living being however, since the amount is so minute. However, getting the energy from every single dying creature all over Gielnor was the only way to do it.

I put a great amount of effort into doing so, and penetrated the Shell of Dreams, therefore granting me access into the comforts of your mind. There is much darkness inside you, beyond anything you could imagine!

I powered you into the Death Zone, and you were transformed into the likes of something you could never imagine. I made you a Reaper, and I powered you with darkness! However, I didn't put that much effort into the energy transfer.

Believe it or not, the rest of that power and feeling of destruction was YOU! You have a dark side, whether you want to admit it or not. Now, I have taken you into your dreams and memories. You’ll notice this place looks familiar. Take a closer look… That’s right, it's the Death Zone! That black speck down there is you in your cloak! Look at you, you’re a monster! You chased that poor defenseless soul into Al Kharid, and here comes my favorite part.

You start to torture it little by little, and that is a good sign. This flashback is good for you to see, because this is what you look like. Perhaps now you see that there is some darkness inside of you!”

“That can’t be me… Is it?” You ask.

“That is,” said Zamorak.

“I can’t believe it… I look like a monster!”

“Yes, which is why I have a question to ask. I see a lot of potential in you, and you have all the makings of being one of my loyal trustees. This is an offer that you cannot refuse!” screamed Zamorak.

“No! I will never join you!”

“Ah, I expected that. You can continue your argument about how you are a loyal Sara… Saradom… Saradomin follower later. Oh, how I despise that name… I have come prepared for this, and I have much to offer. I will grant you power beyond your wildest dreams, more than anything you’ve ever seen! You will be the ultimate Reaper, unlike anything the world of Gielnor has ever seen! Can you accept my offer, and become one of the most feared and powerful beings ever to roam Gielnor?”

“I stick to my earlier decision,” you reply.

“Then it is time to rely on my last resort. I tried to ask nicely, but I’m afraid that it is time to get serious.

If you do not accept my offer, I will not only kill your body, but I will send it into my realm, to be forever tortured for all of eternity! So make your decision. Will you roam the land like no other has, or will you be sent to my realm, for an eternity of suffering?”

“I… I…”

“No need to stutter, just make your answer,” said Zamorak.
A long period of silence occurred between the both of you, as you thought of an answer. After much thinking and inner debate, you at last came to your answer.

“So, have you come to a decision?” asked Zamorak.

“I have,” you replied.

“Then speak now, or forever hold your peace,” said Zamorak.

“I…”

“Just remember, this is your final decision. Once you say your answer, there is no turning back. Do you agree to these terms?” asked Zamorak.

“I do,” you reply.

“Then let thou decision be heard! Speak, and do tell me your answer,” said Zamorak.

“After much thought, consideration, and inner debate, I have come to a decision. My final answer is…”

END OF CHAPTER 1.2

Chapter 1.3: What is your Name?

Page 12:

“Then let thou decision be heard! Speak, and do tell me your answer,” said Zamorak.

“After much thought, consideration, and inner debate, I have come to a decision. My final answer is… I will accept your offer."

“A wise decision,” said Zamorak.

“Being alive at all is a gift, and I refuse to have that gift taken away from me. No matter how much grief this causes me, I’ll always remember that living is a gift. What exactly is the role you’re going to give me?” you ask.

“Ah, already getting started eh? Well, since you are so curious, I am going to give you one of my most trusted weapons. It is a scythe like no other, with power coursing through its blade. Your role will to do my bidding, and reap the souls of others.”

“So basically what I did in the Death Zone?”

“Yes, you will be going there quite often now," said Zamorak.

“And what of Sara… Your mortal enemy?” you ask.

“What of him?”

“Well, I was his loyal follower, and I can’t just leave him. I made an oath that I would never go back to that land, and that I will try to help close it off forever.”

“You should not have made that oath! My mortal enemy takes oaths extremely seriously! Any sort of oath swore to Saradomin must be held! What have you done?!” Zamorak bellowed.

“I’m… I’m sorry! I did not know that it would turn out to be this way!”

“This is simply unacceptable! What are we to do now? Surely Saradomin will hear of this eventually!”

“Perhaps that is our goal. We must prevent Saradomin from knowing,” you say.

“Yes, that might work. We must avoid going into any sacred lands of Saradomin!”

“I understand,” you respond.

“As long as that happens, everything should be fine. I will send you back to your body, and you will begin your job. You will notice that on the highest point in Lumbridge the weapon will be placed. You must grab your original Reaper’s Scythe and go to the Death Zone, and it will be waiting for you there. Good luck.”

With that, you feel a sudden tug on yourself, and you start to plummet towards the ground. The wind rustles through your hair, and you have to squint to be able to keep your eyes open. You start to come closer to the ground, the fields of Lumbridge becoming closer and closer. Then, you hit the ground, and everything starts to spin.

You start to loll your head back, and you realize that you have lost control of all your limbs. You notice that you can still move your head, and you look up to see that your feet are disappearing into a mist of thin smoke. They fade away, and the rest of your legs follow.

Your entire torso and chest have now dissolved into the grayish sky, and by the time it reaches your eyes, everything becomes dark.

You awake to see that you are back in Lumbridge, and you stand up, feeling no pain whatsoever. You climb the route up to the Lumbridge bank, and after a quick conversation with the banker, open up your bank account. You search and find the Reaper’s Scythe, and wield it.

The cold metal of the blade reflects upon your ghastly face, and you start to get pulled into a green vortex. You fly upwards into the sky at lightning speed, and you become a dark silhouette in the sky. Everything becomes black, and the darkness shreds into pieces and you find yourself in the darkness and gloom of the Death Zone.

You figure that the highest point in Lumbridge would be on the Lumbridge castle, so you climb up the steep steps, all the way to the bank. On the outer reaches of the small room, you find a ladder and climb it. Where the tall flagpole usually is, casting a giant shadow over the city of Lumbridge is a medium size scythe, with an odd look to it.

The handle branched out as usual into the scythe, but something was different. The metal appeared much sharper, the wood much sturdier, and everything seemed like an entire new version. You hear a familiar voice echo in your head, “I see you have found the scythe.”

“I have.”

“Well, you should know that the weapon is called the Death Scythe, and it possesses power that other scythes don’t. This type of scythe grants you the ability of flight, and obviously the ability to reap victims with ease. You may experience a bit of anger while holding it and the only way to adjust to that is through time. Please, grab the scythe and become adjusted to it,” said Zamorak.

You grab the scythe, and the second you touch the strong handle, power courses into your hand. The immediate contact rushes energy and adrenaline into your veins, coursing throughout the complex build of your body. Your skin starts to burn into flames, and the fire spreads out across your body.

You become a swirling inferno, and the entire layer of skin is burned off. You see the innards of your body, and the muscles start to stretch as you lift your hand. The tendons and red muscle work as clockwork, and cause a gigantic chain reaction for the simple movement of lifting your arm.

You feel like a little kid, exploring the range of movements your body can do for the first time. You see your reddish heart beating, with soft thumps every second. The veins are tightly wrapped around it, and you look near it, to see your lungs. Your lungs are small sacks, becoming inflated every couple of seconds.

They branch into a small tube, and travel upwards into your face. You notice the innards of your stomach, as well as the small intestine. You find the whole experience to be quite grotesque, and you start to sicken. Eventually, a wave of fire bursts out, burning off the remainder of your body.

You become all bone, and see the strong build of your entire skeletal system. Suddenly, a blue spark appears around your feet, and it engulfs the entire figure of your skeletons. It becomes a raging swirl of inferno, and it eventually bursts out into small blasts of energy heading for the horizon and beyond.

You look down, and see that black robes were put on you, fitting almost perfectly. The only part of you that is visible is the dark shadow of your skull that is barely visible under the shadow of your hood. Again, a voice echoes throughout the hollow insides of your skull, yet you find that the audibility of the voice increased. The voice of Zamorak spoke and said, “I see that the transformation has been complete.”

“You at least could have warned me about it!"

“Ah, but that would spoil my fun wouldn't it? As long as you are in the Death Zone, your current form will be kept. When you transfer to the world of Gielnor, you will return to your original body. There is one concern of mine however, although it may be minor.

I would like to speak of your name. I would not know what to call you by! I would not call you human, as that would be too general, and that would obviously be incorrect at the moment. I clearly named my guards Dragonkin, so I must create a name for you. Do you have any suggestions?”

A long silence occurred between you and Zamorak, as you considered a name for yourself. At long last, an idea screamed in your head what you thought would be the perfect name. You then speak and say, “I do believe I have come up with the perfect name.”

“Then please, do tell!” Zamorak responded.

“Well, this is clearly a very sad and gloomy place; the only challenge was coming up with a synonym with those words. At last I found the synonym, the perfect word that fits in the gap that needs to be filled. The word was so simple, yet so evasive.

At long last, I know the word. Since I am going to be reaping souls from now on, I am obviously a reaper. As I said before, the only challenge was finding the synonym. I decided to combine the two words, and found the perfect name for myself."

"Then please, stop our chattering and let you speak! Please, without further hesitation, do tell me the name that you have been thinking about so diligently!

Are you sure that you have made a name respectable enough for your new figure? You have an extremely high authority, so a name has to be respectable,” said Zamorak.

“No need to worry, every single requirement has been met,” you responded.

“Then please do tell, what is your name?” Zamorak asked.

“The Grim Reaper.”

Chapter 2.1: Reaping

Page 17:

“The Grim Reaper.”

“The Grim Reaper… Yes… I could see that happening. Now that we have your name set, you should start your job. There is a young adventurer in Draynor who waltzed into the Draynor Manor and was killed by some of the live trees. Perhaps you should put an end to his misery, yes?”

“I shall,” you reply.

“Then off you go!”

You grasp your scythe tightly, and you start to rise upwards into the night sky. You drift up into the clouds, and you see a mist of clouds in front of you, the sun penetrating the big fluffs that hang in the sky. The grayish form of the clouds becomes eye level, and you maneuver yourself so you are hovering parallel to the clouds, horizontally facing the horizon.

You jab the scythe forward, and you propel yourself through the clouds. The misty, cloudy view starts to fade away, as traces of the clouds hover behind you. You fly through the air swiftly, and you look down to see the remnants of former living creatures. You fly toward the city of Draynor, looking over at the giant spinning windmill on the road. You start to descend towards the ground, the ground becoming closer and closer to your view.

You stop yourself right before you hit the ground, but are quick to force yourself forward like a rocket, flaring your way past the many fields of wheat. You fly overhead, and see a dark green goblin, looking up just in time to see you. The goblin didn't look as normal as it did in Gielnor however.

The red eyes in the mist punctured through the darkness, making an eerie feel to the environment. The darkness is unbearable near Draynor Manor, as you approach closer and closer to the manor’s old doors. You approach the door, everything pitch black around you.

A mist forms around the horizon, making the entire radius of the area dark grey. You try to squint through the mist, but it is simply too strong. The normal dark gloomy feel of the manor is practically thrice that here in the Death Zone.
