“So you’re going alone?” he demands incredulously.

I turn glumly to him. “What choice do I have? Well, don’t pity me. After all, maybe Wolfbane just wants to talk and settle our differences.” Certainly, kidnapping a person’s recruits is a sign of friendship. “You should worry about training.”

He nods, not showing me that usual defiance of his that both worries me and makes me proud. “If you die…who would you want to replace you?”

The obvious answer lingers in the air: Bluestar. “I won’t die,” I assure him. “Now go.” He follows my gentle command with a docility that makes me want to bawl my eyes out. After I meet up with Dawn, I’ll go and train. Then, two days from now, I’ll head over to Lumbridge and meet Wolfbane and free his captives and settle the matter and maybe even die…But first, I have to find the Pokey Lady.

I reach the center of Varrock where my steps falter. The four-way bridge over the streaming fountain water is as serene as ever. The happy people bustling about Varrock are oblivious to the danger encircling them. Why couldn’t I have been less nosy? Why had I pitched in, all noble-like, to fight this monstrous level one-hundred and twenty-six? Why had I fallen in love with the unreachable Lady Lore? Why am I such an idiot?

A moan distracts me from my despair. “What is to become of me and my darling Juliet?” A regular fop sporting a salmon shirt, magenta pants, a yellow cape and a ruff around his neck is peering at me and giving me puppy-dog eyes. His face, surrounded by fancy, auburn hair, is rather mopey-looking. “I cannot find her anywhere; have you seen her?”

I assume he’s asking me about the Juliet he had been raving about a moment earlier. “No sorry, I haven’t seen her.”

“Oh…well, that’s a shame…I was rather hoping you had.” The dude brushes a hand through his hair.

“Why? Is she a fugitive?” I inquire. “Does she owe you some money or something?”

The ridiculous-looking young man thinks for a moment. “Hmm, she might? Perhaps she does? How do you know?"

Baffled, I reply, “I don’t know? I was asking you how you know Juliet!” The guy finally seems to remember…

“Ahh, yes Juliet, she’s my one true love. Well, one of my one true loves! If you see her, could you tell her that she is the love of my long and that I life to be with her?”

I could have, but then she’d probably throw something at me. “What? Surely you mean that ‘she is the love of your life and that you long to be with her’?”

“Oh yeah…what you said…tell her that; it sounds much better! Oh, you’re so good at this!”

Um…good at what? In any case, I agree to deliver his improved message to his darling Juliet. Then the young man continues, “Oh great! And tell her that I want to kiss her a give.”

“You mean you want to give her a kiss!”

“Oh, you’re good…you are good! I see I've picked a true professional!” Delighted, he plucks a flower from the bouquet he has in his hands and hands it to me. I accept the gift albeit with some concern about this man’s mental health.

Apparently, it takes brains to deliver a message as demonstrated by Mr. I’m-standing-around-Varrock-Square-moping-and-moaning. Shaking off my uncharitable thoughts, I ask him earnestly, “Where can I find Juliet?”

“Why do you ask?” He looks perplexed; the expression suits him.

Sighing, I snap, “So that I can deliver your message!”

“Ah yes…quite right. Hmm, let me think now, she may still be locked away at her Father’s house on the sest vide of Warrock?”

I do wonder if the man has a strange form of dyslexia. He must mean the west side of Varrock. Then the guy continues, “Oh, I remember how she loved it when I would sing up to her balcony! She would reward me with her own personal items…”

Irritated now, I mutter, “What, she just gave you her stuff?”

“Well, not exactly give…more like ‘throw with considerable force’…she’s always a kidder that Juliet!”

Throw with considerable force, huh? I wonder why…Waving good-bye to the young man, I scurry away in the direction that may or may not be west. Then I realize I’m completely lost. Too many people are going this way and that way.

I finally settle for asking a dude standing around near a big building that I presume is a bank (what with all its fancy booths and people in gray uniform). “Uh, do you know where Juliet’s house is?”

The dude points to his right, and after thanking him, I wander off in the correct direction. Then I stop. Not that I have much choice. An army, maybe ten by twenty Runescapians (for a total of two hundred), is flooding through the space between Varrock’s gray walls. I flee to hide beside the bank and watch them mindlessly march onward.

I’m not the only spectator. Others have stopped whatever they were doing to gawk at the armor-less but numerous army now making its way past the bank. At its heels is a familiar figure with her trademark axe swinging merrily. Dawn. Ah, this gigantic procession must be Dawn’s Army!

“Dawn!” I call her name. She actually turns to acknowledge me with a smile and then whispers something to one of her soldiers in the last row. The soldier nods and hollers, “To Varrock Palace!” Dawn watches them go and lopes over to shut my mouth, which has been hanging open for the past minute.

“That’s a lot of people,” I say.

“Many of them are twenty-five plus now," she replies. “But it won’t be enough.” For some reason, her sadness makes me want to offer some sort of comfort.

“Why not?*

She gives me her usual sneer. Ugh. Just when I think I can get along with this girl, I find another reason why I can’t! “You’re so silly. Do you honestly think Luxon plans to fight us with a gang of sixties?”

“Sure.”

“If this is real war, then there will be opponents far more dangerous than level sixties,” Dawn insists. Personally, I think she’s being a bit melodramatic. “My army will be useless. Your little ragtag pack will be useless.”

“Let me guess,” I say with a touch of bitterness, “I’ll be useless?”

Suddenly, she looks taken aback. “I didn't mean it like that, Freak. I’m afraid for us, and Fireheart is so determined to win that I feel like she’s missing something. Maybe this isn’t that easy.”

“And if it is?” I notice that her army has disappeared from sight.

Irritated now, she raises her axe. “It can’t be!" I inch away from her (and her sharp axe) discreetly. “I don’t have time to argue with you.”

“No time to argue with useless noobs.”

Before leaving me utterly demoralized, she smiles over her shoulder and says, “You’re not completely useless…for a noob. You’re a commander. As such, you have my respect…no matter how little. Well, I’m going to report to Fireheart.”

She flounces off towards the Varrock Palace while I ponder the contradictory-ness of her words. I’m a noob…yet I’m not useless. I have her respect…but only a little. Huh? Does she like me or not? Not that it matters!

I could ask Wolfbane and find out if there’s any reason for Dawn’s misgivings. More likely than not, he’ll kill me before giving me a clue. And now, fear has me in its grip again. My legs are shaking…and I can’t help wondering if running off to meet Wolfbane isn’t the smartest idea in the world.

O_o Does everyone read Warriors?

Lady Lore reminds me of Spottedleaf (beautiful but unreachable)
Fireheart's a lot like Bluestar from the book (confusingly enough...but they're both leaders..ahem *blush blush*)
Redseed = Whitestorm.
Lord Luxon = Tigerclaw, I think more than Dustpelt (Dustpelt likes Sandstorm at first and then falls for Fernpaw...hmm, I see I've read the books over and over again too many times)

Ah, yes Aurora is a lot like Fernpaw and Dawn like Sandstorm.
