I take a moment to reminisce, or as Bob would have said, I take a moment to delay our deaths. This all started when I decided to follow Redseed. He met up with Fireheart and agreed to fight Lord Luxon, who has those poor noobs mining rocks (coal and runite, Dawn had told me), so he can make a quick profit. Then everything had snowballed, getting more complicated…and more dangerous.
This was the end.
“What are we standing around for?” Redseed laughs. “Come on!” My blue-haired buddy enters the portal.
Hamlet and Cheesecracker, heartened by his tone, step in too. With one last smile for her sister and for me, Fireheart follows. Armored in rune armor (including a lovely, white-trimmed skirt) and armed with a rune scimitar and an elaborate shield, she has never looked more fierce.
I’m left with Dawn, who seems to expect me to go first. “What?”
“Go, Freak.”
I shake my head. A serious case of the nerves is paralyzing me. I almost fall headfirst into the portal as Dawn pushes me. Closing my eyes, I feel the rush of cold air and then solid ground once again underneath my feet. Thank Saradomin. But everyone has gone on ahead or something because I can't see anyone.
All I can see is the rocky and black terrain. Pools of orange lava, two congealed masses on the far sides of the arena, are smoking. The faint stench of hot rock and sulfur makes my nose tickle. Well, it’s a shame Bob isn’t here to say: “Welcome to Clan Wars, noob.”
