Beth looked at the tea and answered, “It is because of the god she may serve. As you know from being raised here in this camp about the gods of Gielinor, there are many of them all of them have been banished from these lands because the god of balance banished them all away with his great power. The main gods most people think about are Zamorak, and Saradomin.

The only exception is here in this camp because this is a druid camp we worship the god of balance Guthix, the god you god your name from. There are other gods some very old ones. Well cutting this story short the gods were all at war with each other expect for Guthix, they fought and sought out to kill each other for dominance here in Gielinor. Guthix the god of balance was asleep at the time when he woke up to find everything being destroyed he was angry, so he smashed a giant sword down into the middle of the main battlefield and ended the wars.”

Beth had paused her story to take so that she could drink of the tea then after swallowing she resumed the story, “After he ended the wars by banishing the gods from the land and making many laws which are called his edicts. A lot of the edicts are tricky to figure out but many others are very clear. A war between the factions of the gods isn’t allowed, and violating anything by sending troops into an area in the name of the gods is also not allowed. If the edicts are broken then special followers of Guthix are to reawaken Guthix him and he will destroy the world and recreate it after getting rid of everything…”

Guthix interrupted even more worried now, *Wait is the god of balance going to reawaken and destroy this world now because a paladin is here? And what does a paladin have to do with anything?”

Beth then said, *I don’t know what these druids will do, there are many loopholes over the years that are used to prevent the total destruction of this world. Like for example what is the reason that this paladin has entered this area? If she did*’t come here in the name of her god then there is the slight loophole. If that is the case she is in trouble if she is alone here in this area since the followers of Drakan will not let her leave here alive. She won’t have any help from her friends since it will be in the act of their god to come and get her.

Drakan’s vampires and werewolves are mostly worshipers of Zamorak, while paladins are generally worshipers of Saradomin. You now will see the problem right there I hope. Also if Drakan knows about this paladin, whether or not she broke the edicts won’t matter, because he is going to rip the forest apart searching for her until he has her for whatever his devilish plan maybe. She might have been better if you had let her die there in the forest instead of bringing her here to be healed…”

Guthix then said quietly, “I couldn’t sit back and let her die mom. Even if it would have spared all this trouble from happening I couldn’t do it. I cannot explain it but something urged me to help her…” Beth smiled and said, “It is because you are good person my son that is why you did it.”

A druid entered the tent and then said, “Hello, Beth, and hello to you to Guthix. I was sent by the camp’s elder to come get Guthix and bring him to the elder himself.” Beth nodded and asked Guthix, “Do you think you can walk Guthix?” Guthix answered it by getting up out of the bed, as he was about to leave his mother said, “Be safe my son.” Guthix laughed and said, “I am always safe mom!”

As he left his tent, he wished he had got to drink some of the tea his mother had made, he then ask the druid, “So Ted, what does the elder need from me?” He called this druid by his name. The druid was a foot shorter than Guthix and was bald with white druid robes and a hood on his head. The druid answered, *I don’t know, I would assume it is about that girl you rescued.” Guthix then asked, “Did Chad make it back here safely?”

Ted then said, “Other than he was out of breath from running, and yelling what everyone thought was a lie at the time that he was being chased by monsters. By the way good job on getting yourself and that girl out of there, you are like a hero now* Guthix laughed and said while walking towards the huge tent in the center of the camp, “I am not a hero, I was just a person at the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Guthix was friends with many people in the camp it is why he is able to joke with them all calm like. There are those who are wary of him but those are the older druids who were there when he was first brought to the camp eighteen years ago.

Guthix made it to the flap of the tent and then knocked on the wooden support, he heard an old man say, and “You can come in Guthix.”

Guthix entered the tent, in the middle of the room sitting in a rocking chair was the village elder. Guthix first bowed his head slightly in respect for the elder then said, “You wished to speak to me camp Elder?” The old man first cleared his throat then said, “Yes, I do wish to speak to you. I will assume you already know why I called you here. If you don’t I will just tell you. I wanted to talk to you about the Paladin girl you recued.”

Guthix was surprised that the old man already knew the girl was a Paladin, since he had just told his mother that not very long ago. Guthix then asked, “How do you already know she is a Paladin?” The old man chuckled and said, “Because Guthix, I am very old. I have met and have seen many things in my life to know she is a Paladin. Her armor and her sword were dead giveaways though, but this isn’t what I wanted to talk to you about. First I want to say that I am proud and glad that you saved a young life when you could have just run away in fear to preserve your own life.”


Guthix then said, “Thanks elder…” The old man interrupted Guthix and said, “I am not done yet. I have spoken with the camp’s council on what we should do about this girl. Right now she is being taken care of by the camp’s healers and she should make a full recovery. The council also deemed that there hasn’t at the moment been any of the edicts were violated by her being here to our knowledge, that doesn’t goes by saying I hope she won’t ruin that. The other thing the council decided was once she is healthy enough to walk she will be forced to leave the camp in whatever state she is in, also that she will not get any druids to help her leave this land if she may need it.”

Guthix had interrupted with shock of learning that decision of the council, “If we just throw her out like that she will just fall right back in the hands of those vampire if not worse hands again if we don’t help her!” The elder then said, “I know I was against this as well since this will just be a death sentence for her, but there is a loophole in that decision which I think you may be able to think of it right now.*

For about a second it took Guthix to think of what he was talking about but he got it then said, “She needs someone who isn’t a druid to help her? Am I right?” The elder nodded and said, “That is correct Guthix. “ Guthix then said, “So then there are only two people in our camp that can help her. That is either my mom or I would have to be the ones to help her?”

The camp elder frowned then said, “That is the loophole and there is a problem there, only one of you two can go with her. Drakan’s men might still be looking for your mother and her scent will give them both away. Guthix, I am sorry because I know I shouldn’t ask you this or tell you this but…” Guthix interrupted the elder then said calmly, “If I am the only one that can help her then I will do it. Besides even if it was a choice I couldn’t let my mom do this since it is my fault this girl is here in the camp. So where am I having to and take her?”

The elder then said, “You have to walk all the way past the village of Canifis and to the Salve river where she will have to cross there alone. I only say that because you may not be a normal one but you are a werewolf. The magical properties of the river should repel you away from it the closer you get towards it. This trip should take about three months for you to get to the river, and then you will have to come back alone on this trip. The trip there and back may take longer depending on both the condition of yourself and the paladin girl. You leave as soon as she can walk.”

Guthix sighed and said, “I guess this will be a very long trip, how is she doing anyway?” The elder replied, “She has woken up five hours before you did, and I have already told her how she was saved. She is resting in the medical tents at the north end of the camp. I think you should go talk to her, I bet she would want to speak to the might hero that rescued her.” He laughed at the last part then said, “You are dismissed Guthix.”

After saying goodbye, Guthix left the tent then made a beeline right for the medical tents like he was told to by the camp elder. Guthix was thinking how did he get himself in this mess but forced the thought out of his mind once he entered the medical tents.

These tents were six tents that were strapped together to make one big tent to normally keep sick or injured druids. There was fourteen beds in the room seven on one side seven going right across on the other side of the room.

Guthix did*’t have a hard time finding the Paladin girl, since currently she was the only one in the room in a bed that was in the middle of one of the rows of beds. Guthix walked over he noticed she was just staring at the ceiling. He sat on the bed next to hers and stared at her trying to think of something to say.

The girl heard someone sit on the bed next to her and her eyes looked over towards Guthix she then asked with a weakened friendly soft feminine voice, “Are you another healer here to heal me? I thought the last druid was done healing me is there something else that needs healed?”

After being spoken to Guthix replied by saying, “Oh I should have introduced myself, I am…well...I don’t know how to say this. I am kind of the person, who saved you, I’m sorry for being so blunt I don’t know another way to say that. My name is Guthix by the way.”

The girl looked at Guthix kind of weird after hearing both that he was her rescuer and that his name is Guthix She then said with her soft voice in still in a weaken state, “Well, thank you for saving me I guess. You have a weird name I never knew druids named others after the same god that they worship. My name is Clair. I am actually glad I got to thank you I don’t know if I would have survived if you did*’t save me…”

Guthix smiled and said, “Well, you don’t need to thank me I only did what I think was right…” Clair laughed weak like and said, “After listening to the rumors around here you did more than save me. You fought off several vampires, so how many were there I keep hearing from the numbers of five up to the number of twelve vampires that you were able to get me away from.” Guthix then said, “There were only seven of them, and if I did*’t use your enchanted paladin sword that scared them away we both would be dead right now.*

Clair then asked quickly with a slight outburst “How do you know I am Paladin? Did that old man tell you that? I told him that it would be better that only he and a few people knew that…” Guthix interrupted her by answering her question “Those vampires that I scared off let it slip that you are a Paladin.”Clair blushed since she over reacted slightly since she did*’t think of that. Guthix then ask Clair a question, “Did our elder tell you what the council decided yet about you?”

Now she had a scared look on her face when she nodded, “He said as soon as I am able to talk me am to leave this camp alone…” Guthix said trying to sound caring, “Well you won’t be going alone anymore; you will be sent with an escort through these woods to keep you safe…” Now she felt offended when she said angrily, “I am a paladin what do I need to have a druid to keep me safe from?” Guthix said simply, “Vampire, werewolves, bloodworms, ghouls and other monsters that live around here.” He then added by saying shyly, *The person that was chosen to go with you is well…me…”

Clair said, “First let me say I am sorry for my outburst, to be honest I wouldn’t mind the company. I came here alone to get some herbs and mushrooms for an herbalist. I never thought it would be this dangerous…are you sure that you even want to do this? I mean I am already in your debt for you rescuing me; there is no need for you to risk your life anymore just because I am alone here in these haunted woods…” Guthix then said, “If I let you go alone it would eat me up inside, because it will just be a death sentence even if just a druid by themselves goes.”


Clair looked done the towards the end of the bed when she started speaking, “If I am suppose to leave the moment I am able to walk…then I would have to leave right now*because I have already tried to walk earlier when there was nobody in here I can walk fine all I have is a stomach wound…” Guthix heard that and sighed then said, “We leave tomorrow then, I will start packing as soon as I leave here then.” Clair then asked, “Before you go, you wouldn’t happen to know where your druid friends are keeping my armor and my sword would you? If I have to leave with you tomorrow I want all my stuff when I leave…”

Guthix hated the idea of her being in the armor that would burn him the instant he touches it. He then said, “I will see and ask around, don’t worry I will get your stuff for you.” As Guthix was about to leave Clair yelled, “Thank you…Guthix.”

Guthix quickly ran home, he found his tent to be empty and his mother wasn’t home. He began to start packing after grabbing his knapsack. He started putting a single change of clothing, and then Guthix went under his bed and pulled out two objects. The first object was a hunting knife he put it in the bag after he had found its sheath. The second object was a red potion of healing that was completely full.

Next Guthix started to look around the tent and he remembered he did*’t have his hunting bow in the tent since he had Chad carry it. Guthix put the knapsack on his bed and then left the tent not before grabbing his coin pouch that was on a small wooden square table.

Guthix made his way to his friend Chad’s house west of his house of the camp. Once he got there he knocked on the wooden frame of the tent flap. A person lifted the flap of the tent from the inside it was Chad he saw Guthix and said with a happy and relieved tone, “Guthix! You’re here! I was wonder whether or not should I go to your house, and see how you are doing. I’m sorry for running away and leaving you behind back there with those vampires. I was just so scared…” Guthix then said, “Don’t worry about it, if you would have stayed it would have been harder to fight freely. Hey do you still have my bow and my quiver of arrows? I need it; I am leaving to help the girl I saved get out of our land safely...”

Chad interrupted Guthix then said, “You are leaving!? What will happen if you don’t return…Why you did*’t ask me to come I would have if you asked…?” Guthix then said, “The council is only allowing me to go do this alone. I wouldn’t mind having you come with me if you were allowed to.” Chad then said, “Then is this goodbye then? I mean I don’t know if I will get another chance to talk to you before you leave. With that being said, when do you leave?” Guthix then said, “Tomorrow morning when the girl I am supposed to protect is suppose to try and walk…”

Chad went back in his tent and returned back holding Guthix’s hunting bow and his quiver. Chad then said, “I guess you will need this, whatever you do Guthix just don’t die. I expect you to return when you are done with this adventure!’ Chad had extended his hand to shake Guthix’s as this maybe there final goodbye.

Guthix reached out and shook Chad’s hand and said, “Don’t worry Chad; I have no plans on dying anytime soon.” After saying that he grabbed the sling of his quiver and slide it on so that the quiver was on his back, then he hung the bow on the quiver. Guthix walked down to another tent about ten feet away from Chad’s it was a trader’s shop that the druids made to exchange stuff among each other. Guthix walked over and say the shopkeeper sitting outside his tent with a small stall in the front.

Once Guthix got there he said causally, ‘Hey there shop keep, mind getting me a few items I need?” They man smiled and say, “Ah Guthix, one of my favorite customers, what can I do for you?”

Guthix then said, “I need arrows the cheapest you have for about five hundred gold, I also need a tinderbox, along with twenty gold coins worth of vegetables.” The man then walked back into his tent, Guthix could hear sounds of rustling and stuff being moved around inside the tent. The man came back out with a knapsack filled with one hundred arrows, twelve carrots, five heads of cabbage, and a tinderbox. The man then said, “This is will cost you six hundred gold.”

Guthix then said after looking at the stuff, “You are nothing but a scam artist, but there isn’t another place to get this stuff here is the gold I hope you choke on it!” The man smiled and took the gold and Guthix took the knapsack then left back to his tent. Guthix spent every last piece of gold he had saved up on the cheap stuff he bought.

Before he made it back to his tent the druid named Ted ran towards Guthix and said, “Hey Guthix sorry for this, but the elder wants to see you again. He told me he has a gift for you, I think you should head over there right away.” Guthix then said, “Alright let me put this stuff in my tent then I will head right over there.” Ted had said okay and that Guthix should head over there not delaying going over longer then he has to.
