~Prologue~
It was perhaps a tenser than normal day, I recalled, seated at the Rising Sun on the day that journey began.The white, plastered walls and oak furniture, and of course the bar with its assorted spirits were all infused with a nostalgic feeling, all these framing an overlook to the grand white stones of Falador Castle, the moat, castle, and even the grass gleaming with streaks of sun like paintbrush strokes in the morning light. I found myself absentmindedly twirling my wavy sky-blue hair streaked with white between the fingers of a long-gloved left hand, next to a pair of peridot green eyes underpinned with three green diamonds, set in a round, somewhat youthful face with fair skin. My face, one I never imagined would have been among those at a ritual of the Mahjarrat, amongst the quarrels of the gods, inciting revolutions and regrowing ancient cities, among other things all those years ago, when I took up the sword for the first time.
“Hello, Zorial, it’s good to see you today. Ah, is that a new outfit? That turquoise blue looks lovely on you! It matches your hair...and your wings. * That was Kaylee, one of the bartendresses here. Her brown hair was tied up as usual, green eyes full of fresh energy, basic pink shirt with green slacks and basic leather boots, with the standard white apron that most employees in Gielinor wore as part of uniform.
“It is, thank you. I’d just like some apple juice today, if you have any in stock. I have an assignment, and I need to be sober-minded.” I replied, with a neutral expression on. A glass of wine was nice in social company every now and again, though….
I examined the paper in my right hand, a missive from the dwarves, who complained of tremors in the mines, rumored to have originated from Living Rock Creatures making a fuss deeper in the caverns. A slightly unusual assignment, I thought, though not too unlike one of many I had recieved on my path to becoming a Slayer Master and beyond.
