After a long minute of silence, Luxon laughs, “I like the way you bargain, Fireheart. I’ll make you my own offer. What I want is a long struggle. Suffering is always an extra bonus. If taking over Runescape is ridiculously easy, then what is the point? After our little war that I will win, I would like you to be my partner and aid me in ruling Runescape.”

Fireheart is silent. Grr! Just say “NO!" and boot him out of here!

Luxon dares to reach out to clutch her hand! “Perhaps you would prefer to be my girlfriend rather than a mere partner?”

“I have no love for you.” That’s right. Take that, Luxon!

“Surely there is one love all Runescapians have in common?” continues Lord Luxon, undeterred.

“Well, it’s certainly not a love for you.” Yep. Certainly not.

*Two million gold pieces a week is yours if you join me.” The level one-hundred and twenty-six smiles to himself. Clever *******. Oh, I swore! Never mind that. He has a point, that crook. People love money.

Beside me, Bluestar grows wide-eyed. He mouths, “Two million gold pieces a week! She’d be crazy not to take that offer but crazier to take it.”

However, Fireheart merely snorts at the lure of so much money. “Oh, yes. I can’t live without a party hat! In any case, no one has that much money…even a certain man with enslaved noobs to make rune items for him.”

Suddenly, Lord Luxon slinks closer to her, so they’re almost sharing a gilded chair. Arg! Move! Move, Fireheart! Of course, she can’t hear the pleading inside my head. “Money aside, imagine what else you could have! Besides, it’s only a matter of time before Runescape is ruled by Zamorak and Zamorak alone…and me of course as his Chosen One.”

“Chosen One?” Fireheart murmurs questioningly. She looks like a lost, little girl. Uncertain of all her choices. Uncertain of the future.

“The god has chosen me to rule for him. I am only acting for Zamorak. You know Saradomin’s era will end. Zamorak’s turn to reign over Runescape has come!” His face has moved alarmingly close to Fireheart’s. Even so, she hasn’t budged.

Almost lovingly, Luxon’s fingers float up to hold Fireheart’s chin. I shudder, remembering his cold embrace. NO! I want to burst in and interrupt, but now Bluestar has a zealous grip on my arm. I can’t move and stop Fireheart from betraying us!

“You are a pretty one.” He moves to kiss her. I close my eyes. I can’t be witness to it! Can’t! Won’t! Shan’t! Bluestar shakes my arm a millisecond after we hear a “plat.” A chuckle escapes Bluestar’s mouth.

I peek back into the room to see Fireheart standing with her eyes full of rage and Lord Luxon (a meter away) with his cheek as pink as a rose. He has a hand to the flushed cheek and his eyes trained incredulously on Fireheart. What in Saradomin’s name happened?

In a low whisper, Bluestar clears things up. “She slapped him. So much for romance.”

I can’t believe he finds this amusing! Finally, I let a chuckle escape from me. Okay, so the thought of Fireheart slapping Lord Luxon is rather amusing!

“Get out! Forget negotiation. I’m declaring war,” she says. Her arms are crossed, and her expression is full of that steel that tells people not to mess with her. “And I’m not going to let you win.”

Despite being pwned (where did that word come from? Sounds familiar), Lord Luxon snarls, “Stubborn vixen, aren’t you? I do want to see this war of yours!”

“Monster, aren’t you? Don’t worry. I’ll give you a war to remember,” she retorts. Then Fireheart turns her face away as if deciding not to say a further word to the indignant high level. It’s so odd to see Lord Luxon affronted. In any case, he sweeps around flamboyantly so his blood-red cape brushes Fireheart and then departs the chamber through another set of doors. Phew. Glad he didn't come this way!

Full of idiotic relief, I burst through the doors, leaving behind an alarmed Bluestar. Fireheart doesn’t even jump. Her glower softens into a smile at the sight of me. “Freak, how are you?” She then frowns. “How much of that did you hear?”

“Um…all of it,” I admit. “Oh, and I’m good.” My heart constricts when I realize there are scary tears in Fireheart’s eyes.

“I nearly succumbed. I would have betrayed you. All of Runescape!” she murmurs. The warmth of her is suddenly against me as she hugs me. Oh…what to do? Pathetically, I pat her back as if soothing a sick child.

“Hey, you didn't succumb. That’s what counts,” I murmur. What paltry comfort!

She lifts her head to gaze at me with fierce eyes. “I’m still not sure I didn't make the wrong decision. Gypsy Aris, the one who has a tent near Varrock Square, told me that love will decide the winner. What if she meant I’m to be with Luxon? Then again, he doesn’t have a bit of love in him.”

“Joining Luxon doesn’t solve anything. Besides, you can’t leave your family to face Luxon alone.” Family. I wish I had one. No joke.

“Family?” Fireheart moves away from me as she notices Bluestar. “Who are you?”

“Bluestar.” Um…if I’m not mistaken, the level eighty-four looks rather love-struck. Strange when his father had actually been hitting on the lady of his affection a few minutes ago; the irony makes me shiver.

“One of Freak’s recruits, I assume. Pleasure to meet you.” She holds out a hand that Bluestar takes very quickly indeed. He brings it to his lips and kisses it sensuously before releasing her hand. Um…

Perhaps sensing my awkwardness, Fireheart smiles at me. “You meant Dawn and Redseed when you said ‘family.’ We did swear a blood oath to protect each other and to…” She trails off sheepishly.

"To love each other,” I finish. Aw, corniness.

Huh. I still can’t believe that someone as reasonable and dignified as Redseed or Fireheart is related to the Pokey Lady. Moving away from the subject of family, I realize that Fireheart is throwing questioning looks in Bluestar’s direction.

“He’s level eighty-four,” I tell her. Fireheart’s face bursts into a smile, which is directed at poor Bluestar.

“I’m glad you’ve decided to help us.” Her words make Bluestar’s face turn a violent shade of scarlet. Boy, that boy is infatuated. “I’ve managed to find fourteen other higher levels, but none of them have the experience you have.”

“Uh…thank you,” he stutters. He sits without ever removing his intense, blue eyes from her face when Fireheart gestures for us to sit.

She sits in a chair across from us. “So, Freak, what’s wrong in Lumbridge?*

I tell her, and Fireheart takes the news with aplomb. “It could be worse. Draynor might have fallen with Lumbridge.”

Bluestar’s accusing gaze takes me by surprise. “You never told me that Father Aereck is a prisoner in his own church!”

Um…

“Go save him. Both of you. I’ll take over the training of your unit, Freak.” She looks so sure of herself.

“What about your recruits?”

“They know how to train. They’ll manage without me.” She pulls her fingers through her hair in a manner that drives Bluestar nuts; he’s twitching. “Well, don’t stare at me! Save him. Maybe I’m being harsh. You both must want some rest and a meal…”

I jump to my feet. “No. We’ll go now."

"Agreed.” Bluestar leaps to his feet too, carefully avoiding Fireheart’s gaze.

I swear she gave him a heart attack the moment she touched his shoulder. “Protect Freak for me. I’ll go to find your recruits after I speak to King Roald.”

“I’ll flay any villain who tries to lay a finger on him,” Bluestar assures her with a becoming blush.

“Anyway, my recruits are in the training area with the dummies,” I add dryly. I do not need protection! Then again, that monk of Zamorak could prove to be a pest, one that I’m not ready to handle yet. After nodding respectfully to Fireheart, the level eighty-four drags me away and out of the dining hall.

“You might want to start breathing,” I tease him.

“I’m breathing!” he snaps. Apologetically, he adds, “I’ve never felt this way before.”

That must be the oldest line in the book. Which book, I’m not sure.

“She’s magnificent,” whispers Bluestar.

Uh…Fireheart has many noble characteristics (and she doesn’t look half bad either), but I don’t think anyone (who’s not infatuated) would ever describe her as “magnificent.” I presume he’s got it real bad.

“You have a crush on her,” I giggle. Yup, I’m being very mature.

“A little one.”

“A humongous one!” One that doesn’t fade away with time…

“She didn't seem very impressed by me.”

Meaning she didn't become a giggling mess like that warrior woman from before. Sympathetically, I pat his shoulder. “You’re a charismatic guy. She might fall for you if you tell her how you feel first.”

Bluestar glares at me. “I don’t think so.” Ah, when he glares, he looks just like his father. How disconcerting.

“Then she’ll never look your way properly,” I reply.

“Shut it, Freak.”

“I didn't know you could be such a meanie!”

“Meanie!” he howls. “You haven’t seen how mean I can be.”

“I never will,” I retort. “You’re supposed to protect me.”

After bantering all the way back to the others, we explain that Fireheart will be here in a couple of minutes.

“Oo, so you both are going on a quest!” Aurora says with an adoring look for Bluestar. He must be used to women drooling over him.

“Yes, Aurora, a quest.” Most dramatically, we leave the training area and pass Fireheart, who gives us an anxious smile. I smile back reassuringly. Bluestar blushes. I push the high level along.

He suddenly stops. “We can use the Lumbridge Teleport.”

“Oh.” We pull out the white sticks, exchange glances and draw our teleportation circles. Purple lights! They’re kinda pretty…Once we’re in Lumbridge, after landing with an unpleasant lurch, I re-focus. Father Aereck, here we come!

Heh. i love the series so much. (and i'm a boy...).
My friend lends them to me. :P
Can't wait to see more adds in the brilliant story. ^_^


By the way, do you realise how LAME warrior cats sounds when you read it out loud?

example:"Bluestar was granted nine lives by Starclan because she is leader of our clan".

try reading it aloud. O_o

This is a not so bad bit tbh. i flicked through and read some aloud. I laughed so hard. :P
