landing on the high wall i knocked off two guards almost immedatily, hood being flown off in the wind as i had landed on the wall now dozens of guards surged into the courtyard, "Torag!" I yelled as he threw a dagger toward a rope tied to a cart, with lightnening speed i jumped off the wall landing in the swiftly moving kart full of straw, quickly i jumped out of the kart. I glanced down at my wrist, i had kept all of my assassins gear from when i had been an assassin, now i let my hidden blade shoot out, testing if it still worked, then ran toward the courtyard, i glanced around as my blade sank deep into the flesh of a spartan soldier. Ahrim was off in a corner, hands raised in the air... whispering words of a telepathy spell... i squinted for a moment...then looked toward the gate... in the mist that shrowded the mourning air i saw three warriors, one carrying a develish spear, the other a flail, and the last a gigantic axe... i closed my eyes and whispered the three names... "Guthan... Verac... and Dharok..." opening my eyes, i nodded in their direction, then spun back to the battle. sword in hand i flew into the midst of the battle, my warcry echoing throughout all of the city "Strength And Honour!" From behind me i heard Torag yell "Blood and Family!" and near him Ahrim yelled in his airy voice, "Show Them Hate..." and yet beside him Verac and Guthan said together "Show them pain!" and then in the midst of all battle, the six shouted together... "Show them Barrows..."

"what do you mean this "Runelord" is going to attack!?" Rose was stricken with all the war that the clan had seen through the past few months, when word came to her of the Kalkara, and their purpose here on Runescape, she called me. (figures) "well..." i began... then turned to kirby, "kirby was dying to explain why!" i said quickly as i winked at him, he glared at me then turned to rose. "he was sent by Zamorak."

"His castle is said to be somewhere in the Wilderness, nobody knows exactly where though, we've traced one of his bodyguards to the mage arena." he said then jabbed his elbow into my side.
"He has Bodyguards!?!?" came the shocked reply from Rose, As irritated as could be, i slowly closed my eyes, then opend them again, "yes rose, he has body guards, Ghost like things, more powerful than a Revenant and less visable than the Ghasts of Mort Myre." I stated flatly
"how do you kill him?" she asked turnning toward the window whcih stood behind her. kirby and i fell silent... this was the question we had been hoping she wouldng ask... then i spoke up. "there are three ways." i stated... "one... we find the Ring of Everlasting life... and connect it with the ring of eternal death... or... we fight him with our forces..." then i stopped... did she really need to know the third way? i could just not say it. "and the third?" she turned back to us. a curse slipped from my lips. "the third... is we sit here and die."

Pm: Zor, where you at.
Reply: no idea.
Pm: have you found it.
Reply: you tell me.

I was standing in a cave. The King Black Dragon on one side of me, and The Corporal beast on the other, Could this Really be happening? in front of me lay the Ring of Eternal Death, with a sign above it saying: Move another step mortal soul and death will seek your flesh.
--
Pm: seriously, its just a sign, ignore it and take the ring!
Reply: ...

i took a deep breath. drew my sword. and ran foward.

Pm: i Get the feeling your either dead... or are just ignoring me?
Reply: ...
Pm: fine, ignore me
Reply: where the Heck am I!?

the Second my fingers touched the ring the world around me changed. the stone table of which the ring sat upon disappeared and became a elegant red guilded pillow, I stopped. Turned around. and my mouth dropped open in shock.

Back in "runescape" i had seen one of the runelord's bodyguards at a time. I was the fearless warrior who would hold his ground in the face of danger, the more you held me down the more i'd press on. but this sight scared me. hundreds of Bodyguards... at the end of a long table sat the runelord himself. I drew my sword, spun around, grabbed the ring, and faced the enemy. I was Karil the Tainted. I was a Barrow. I did not back down.
--
Pm: Zor, stay in the cave, im comming!
Reply: Rose... i dont think im in the cave anymore...
Pm: ...
Reply: holy!
--
I flew foward landing on the table, behind the Runelord stood a portal... My way out... I ran down the table like a mad man, swords and magical blasts of energy were flying everywhere. Reaching the end of the Table, The Runelord stood up over 10 feet tall in his armor like body. jumping around him i dove through the portal...
--
"then we are in agreement! something must be done about Jackin!" the voice was that of kirby's, he sat across the table from me to the right of rose who was at the head and I sat to the left. The long table was filled with officals who had fallen silent, they were all deciding on war, but when? I closed my eyes. "we arent getting anywhere," i stated, rose gave me "the glare" as i opened my eyes "deciding that were going to war means nothing, we need a plan, we need to take action, I took two warriors into the thick of sparta and we came out alive, who says i cant take a dozen? our ambush failed, who says another wouldnt? would one of you stand against Jackin in a sword fight?" everyone sat in stunned silence, i glared at each of them individually, "would one of you stand against me in a sword fight." nobody moved, I turned to rose, "send me, I can kill Jackin, if I fail he'll attack us, if i win the spartans will hopefully run." she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "No Zorc, Im waiting for someone," she finished and I frowned... Waiting for someone...?

You've got to be kidding me... were my eyes playing tricks on me...? "hey dad!" rose was talking to a figure in blue and white robes, a white beard came down from his chin and a blue hood came over his head, the illumant figure reminded me of a distant image i had in my mind... an Image of demons surrounding me... an Image of War... of Zamorak... and of the Figure infront of me... of Saradomin...
--
"ok here's the plan, Zorc, I cant risk losing you, a 1v1 battle is way to dangerous. your going to take a legion of soldiers into the thick of the battle, take him head on, Jackin is your number one priority." i nodded picking up the bow beside me and strapping it to my back, after that i took a shortsword and attached it to my leg, and finishing with the longsword at my side. I left the room. Saradomin would defend the castle against any surprise attacks, all I had to do was survive... easy enough? -Kill them Zaros, I give you my blessing- "what was that!?" i spun around, was that my mind playing tricks on me? or was someone there, I stood in the lower level of Varrock Castle... no... I was in the woods of Kandarian... no... i was on The battlefield... what was going on? at that moment... I knew how to win the battle... I wasnt just Karil... I was Zaros... and it was time to kill.
--
"you've been warriors for your whole life... you've fought battles... you've gone on raids... but you have never done anything like you are going to do today... today we are no longer warriors... today we are Hero's! and today we will drive sparta back to the abyss it came from!!!" a cheer rose from the legion of soldiers out of the crowd kirby stepped out (side note -Requested) a spear was strapped across his back, in his hand he held a long whip and he wore full Bandos armor and stood beside me. "im ready."
--
"hold your ground!"
The spartans charged foward as we held still, was this really a good idea? or were we just acting like fools? we'd find out soon enough...

My bow flew out arrow knocked.Aimed. fired. arrows flew in lightnening succession. one after the other, each hitting their mark, "A little sketchy brother, but you'll get the hang of it." the voice came from behind me, i glanced behind me to find 5 people i wasnt expecting, "what you thought you could leave us out of the action?" the voice was that of Torag... now lets tear these spartans apart! "Strength and honour! Blood and Family! Show them Pain! show them hate! show them Vengeance!" ... "Taste Vengeance!!!!!" the entire army thudded foward into a head on collision with the spartans, screams of agony and contempt could be heard throught the countryside, steel collided with steel, bodies hit the ground and were ran past without thought. dozens of men died. the battlefield was streaked with blood...
--
My sword slammed against one of a spartan, flicking it around i grasped the hilt of his sword pulling him into my jagged blade. he screamed in agony before falling to his death, I spun around sword once again colliding, but this time to my mock surprise, the face i met was not an ordinary spartan... This was Jackin himself... I flicked my sword around grabbing his hilt as i had to the last Spartan, but without warnning his knee came up jabbing me in the stomache, I staggered back, recovered, and flew foward again, this time i knocked him off his feet. I flew foward sword flying down but he was to quick, his sword was up to defend him as he pulled himself up, I spun around defending myself from another attacking spartan then turned back to Jackin, The war may have been going in my favor but that didnt mean I had any more of a chance at beating this guy... then before i could think, I surged foward, our swords collided into a fury of cuts and jabs, strike after strike, knocking eachother down, scoring minor wounds, the battle raged on, dusk had fallen upon the land of Gielinor, the sound of war could still be heard throught the countryside... then suddenly it stopped.

Silence filled the battlefield as the darkening sky turned bloodred, screams of the dead echoed through our ears, a deep voice boomed through the warzone "YOU WHO HATH CHOSEN DEATH COME FOWARTH INTO THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS!!!!" now noticing our mutual enemy Jackin and I both looked around in suspicion of where the mysterious voice had come from. then without warnning, a portal of fire opened at the far north end of the plateau. out of it stepped the most hideous thing I had ever seen... this wasnt anything that could compare to the Runelord... this was Zamorak himself...
--
My vision blurred then went black only to open seconds later at varrock castle, I held a staff in my hands and was wearing blue and white robes. what was this!? Rose ran past me her sword drawn as she beheaded some kind of warebeast, I glanced around, it almost seemed as if i knew things I didnt before... I stood on the top floor of the castle... the roof as it were... looking down into the courtyard i saw hundreds of those warebeasts storming toward the door... I made a quick decision, if i really was who I appeared to be... this wouldnt hurt would it? without any further thought I ran foward and jumped off the castle wall...
--
ok so im back in my body now... right...? was my mind confusing itself... what...? was I dead...? nothing made sence... up ahead of me Zamorak advanced, flinging men like rag dolls. and then when it seemed like all hope was lost... he vanished... the sky turned blue... Zamorak disappeared... nobody moved... everyone just stood there staring at each other... "what do you say to finishing the battle some other day...?" I said glancing to Jackin, he gave me a rye smile dropping his sword, we grasped hands and shook. "until further notice, Commander Zorcon, its a truce..." I said nothing, I could already feel the change before it had happened...
--
Landing in the courtyard my staff slammed against the ground sending lightnening bolts streaking across the earth.

A dozen warebeasts fell in the shock rays that eminated from my staff, flipping it around I slammed the butt of my staff into a warebeast smashing its skull. Rose came charging out of the door, sword swinging wildly as she fought to take control of the situation, waves of light erupted from my fingers turnning the dreadful things to ash, within seconds the courtyard was silent and all that remained was the ashy remains of the once-warebeasts.
--
I felt my sences return as I found myself walking toward Varrock, what was left of the army staggered behind me. Kirby came up beside me, "Zorc, something's wrong..." I rolled my eyes, could anything go right? I gave him a glance, "Someone is following us, Zorc you've got to listen to me, something is back there." I glanced behind us at the small group of ragged soldiers, then to the slitted helmet Kirby wore. "Soldiers! keep moving toward Varrock! Kirby and I are taking a detour!" I patted him on the shoulder and we jogged off the road.
"Did you see anything?" i asked him as we ran into a small grouping of trees. he sorta stuttered then mumbled.
"yeah... Fur..." i snickered inwardly thinking it was probably a simple bear. but my sences quickly took the better of me as I to got the feeling of being followed. I drew my bow, knocked an arrow, then glanced at Kirby, "so if I were to turn around quickly, do you think i might get a glimps of it?" I asked as I spun around, just then i was knocked to the ground and bloodred claws tore into my flesh the thing I now recognized as a Kalkara let out a howl of victory as it pulled its prey off the ground throwing it into a tree, with my last ammount of strength I drew my shortsword and weakly flailed it about, then my arm dropped and my vision went black as the thing went after Kirby.
--
Kirby lashed out whith his whip tearing at the hair on the beast's arm, it gave no heed as it charged toward him, arms raised it pounced at the young knight, kirby sidestepped.

throwing his whip to the side, Kirby pulled out the long spear brandishing it, then lunged foward delivering a series of heavy blows sending the Kalkara reeling back into a tree, Then with lightenening speed he slammed the spear deep into the Kalkara's heart, a deffening scream came from the jaws of the beast as it turned to ash...
--
I once again sat at the long table, this time war had been waged, and they were beginning to think...
"I say we send in a group of elite soldiers to spy on their forces." the voice came from the head of the table, rose's gental face was stricken from little sleep, no one had gotten much sleep in the past few days. "I agree" came the voice of Saradomin from the other end, "All in favor?" rose mumbled "I" they all said at the same time, "Who of you will go," she asked glancing around. "I Will," came the voice across from me, Kirby stood up. I nodded, "I will," I said standing up. "Dont leave me out of all the fun," Came the voice from beside me. Mitchell. Rose sighed, "Dad, can you keep the castle safe?" she questioned Saradomin, He nodded with a short smile. "I'll go then," all eyes were on Rose, "we need a "Tank" though," she mumbled I glanced around "A tank...?" she nodded "someone who can kill easily..." she trailed off as her eyes landed on Foxie, he had been with them for a few months, she had never really found a use for the friendly warrior. she'd never seen him in combat, but he always carried a whip, Godsword, and a dagger at his side, he had to be good at what he did. "Your comming too."
-- 1 Day Later --
We set out early in the morning, a dense fog had clouded our vision, the air was cold and damp. five warriors began a march in the direction of falador, townsfolk whispered to eachother, Who were they? what were they doing? was one of them the queen?...
