I've had no power since Thursday; there was a Triple Tornado (three small tornadoes hitting simultaneously in the same general area). And a tree flew through my window
I can't catch up now but I shall tomorrow. It is GOOD to have internet back. And lightbulbs. And being able to charge the incredible electric backscratcher MK III.

Spero began to feel an extremely powerful corrupted presence, possibly the strongest he has ever felt. Spero slowly got back to his feet as he panted quite heavily. "If I'm feeling this, then Dante must be too." Spero said. Roy opened his eyes and looked over to Spero and Anna. "There's a corrupt presence?" he asked. Spero shook his head up and down.
Roy hops off his bed. "This is one of the only good things about being a god. My wounds heal incredibly fast." Spero looks over at Dante, who still remained asleep. "Let's go." Roy and Anna shook their heads up and down once. Spero placed one of his hands on one of their shoulders. They are teleported to Alrous' castle. Roy shuffles his head left and right.
"Why are we here?" he asked.
"Dammit...my fear is starting to come real." Spero mumbled.
Anna heard Spero mumbled to himself. "What fear?" she asked.
"What Alrous warned me and Dante about during the Third Age..." Spero clenched his fists. "The Age of Destruction."
"Wait. This is where it started?"
"Unfortunately, yes. This is where Alrous' vision began." Spero began to think. "The one who has the corrupt presence is suppose to go after the world's greatest powers. The Staff of Alrous, The Sword of the Darkest Days, The Staff of Armadyl, and then eventually the Stone of Jas." Spero looks at the two. "We must go."
After those words, Roy and Anna followed Spero into the ruined castle in the snow. Once they enter the main room with the spiral staircase, all they see is a bloody massacre of Black Knights. Beheaded, cut in-half, and limbs cut to pieces. Any death caused by a blade you could possibly think of was before the three. Spero closed his eyes and got a vision, a premonition of sorts.
He sees corrupted Cassius killing the Black Knights, then killing Roy. Spero opens his eyes and takes a deep breath. He continues to walk despite the warning. The two follow behind him. They continue forward to Alrous' throne room. Once they entered, it was an absolute brawl! Corrupted Cassius was fighting his father Angelo.
Cassius swung down the Sword of the Darkest Days upon Angelo. Angelo jumped back and swung his swords at Cassius. Cassius clenched his fists and demonic spikes endlessly shot out from the ground all over the place. Roy jumped back outside the room. Angelo continued to dodge all of them until the last one.
Cassius pushed Angelo away with a force of energy and Angelo impaled the last spike, which had a curved tip. Angelo grit his teeth with a sea of emotions clouding his mind. Angelo fell to his knees. Roy's widened eyes stared at Angelo. "Wow...who knew Angelo could have gotten owned?" Roy said to himself. Cassius looks over at the three and chains bound their legs to the ground.
Alrous stared at the fight with a entertained look on his face. "Finally. Some quality entertainment." Alrous said. "They're hell-bent on trying to kill one another! That makes the perfect show."
"Get me outta these chains! I wanna fight!" Roy shouted. Suddenly, Roy opens his mouth to talk but no words came out, his voice went silent.
"Sorry about this punishment Roy. But however, you deserve it." Spero said.
Roy looked at Spero strangely until he realized what he meant. He said something: "What the heck!? I got muted!?" Angelo got back to his feet, though he was panting quite heavily. Cassius' eyes were filled with anger and violent intentions. Cassius charged at Angelo and swung his sword down.
Angelo disappears when Cassius' sword almost reached him and re-appeared right next to the Staff of Alrous. Spero's, Roy's, and Anna's eyes widened. Spero immediately knew what Angelo is about to do. "Angelo! Do not take the staff!!" he shouted.
Alrous smirked with an expression of evil. Angelo looked at Spero.
"Would you rather me not?" Angelo asked then let out a quick sigh. "He has surpassed me. Now, I will surpass him."
"Don't be a fool! You'll be possessed!"
"I will endure my punishment...just as long as I put my foolish decision to rest." Angelo grabbed the Staff of Alrous. The power of all that is unbalanced surged through him. However his eye color had not changed, he remained the same. Spero stared in disbelief. "I know at this point, anyone who isn't born to wield the staff should have died by now!!"
Angelo looks at Cassius, who was ready to fight Angelo to the death. Angelo raised the Staff of Alrous into the air. Cassius drew his Dragon two-handed Sword with the Sword of the Darkest Days in his other hand . Electricity began to shoot out from all possible directions. Above Angelo - 1,000 energy swords appeared.
Cassius began to charge at Angelo. Angelo points the staff at Cassius. The floating energy swords began to shoot towards Cassius. Cassius continued to swing his sword to cut through the swords. Suddenly, a beam of energy comes down from the sky and strikes Cassius. Cassius growled as he fell to his knees. Angelo blew Cassius away from him with a blast of wind.
Suddenly, Cassius disappears from the ground and re-appears behind Angelo, Angelo quickly turns around and gets two swords in the gut. Cassius lifted Angelo into the air and threw Angelo off his blades. Cassius' blades began to electrocute more violently. He began to walk over to Angelo. But then Cassius stopped right in the middle. He looked over at Roy, Spero, and Anna.
He pointed both his blades at the three. "Oh no! This is where Roy dies!" Spero shouted in his mind. Suddenly, Cassius fell to his knees. He dropped his swords, grabbed his head, and began to scream. The chains disappeared on the three's legs.
Spero looks at Roy. "Roy. You need to purify him." Spero stated.
"Purify him? Is that even possible?" Roy replied.
"It is possible. Do not worry, I will be here to help." Guthix said.
"I know you can do it Roy." Anna encouraged.
"Ah..alright." Roy walked over to Cassius. He put both his hands on Cassius' shoulders. Roy closed his eyes and strange Aquamarine vein like lines grew out from Roy's chest to his hands to Cassius. Cassius puts his hands on Roy's shoulders with an evil smile. The same vein like lines grew out from Cassius' chests to his hands to Roy.
Only difference is that these lines were orange, the color of unbalanced. Since Roy's eyes were closed, he had no idea. After a minute, both Roy and Cassius fell to the ground. Anna hasted over to Roy. "Roy! Roy!!" she continued to shouted. Spero walked calmly over to Roy, Cassius, and Anna. He put his hand on her shoulder.
"It's alright. Roy is just weaken. He'll be alright." Spero said to Anna. Spero looked over at Angelo who got to his feet. "I hope you're happy with your decision Angelo. For it might cause the damnation of all."
Angelo looked at Cassius. "Forgive me..son.." After that, Angelo disappeared.
After that, they return to Camelot. Five days later, in Roy's room. Roy's eyes cracked open. He scanned his eyes around and knew he was in his and Anna's room. He sat up and looked to his left. Cassius was there, his back against the wall with a dark green covered book in his hand. Cassius looked over at Roy for a moment, and returned his eyes back to his book.
"So, you finally woke up, I see." Cassius said.
Roy rubs the back of his head. "Yeah...what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I know I don't say this alot. But..thanks.."
Roy raised his eyebrows. "You? Express your gratitude? That's not like you."
"Don't take it for granted."
"Ha, you're right." Roy shuffles his head left and right. "So, where is everybody? And how long have I been out?"
"What? Were you expecting a party? It's been about five days, and I'm just waking up myself."
"Five day!? Gee, no wonder why I'm hungry."
"Always got to think about yourself, huh."
"Where's the Sword of the Darkest Days?"
"I absorbed the demonic energy. So, it's back to the Sword of the Shining Rays."
At night. At the kingdom of the Black Knights, Falador. Angelo had fallen asleep and the Staff of Alrous was laying upon his table. The door to his room cracked open. Isaac came through the door and closed the door silently. He quietly walked into the room and approached the Staff of Alrous
"Legends said that the Staff of Alrous was stronger than the Staff of Armadyl. If I can use that power, I can revive Lord Zaros." Isaac said in his head. Isaac reached for the staff.
"Do not even think about it Isaac." Angelo said.
Isaac's hand froze in place. He quickly looked over at Angelo, who had one eye opened. "So, you knew I would go after it." he said.
"Indeed. I was waiting for you." Angelo got up from his bed and walked over to Isaac. He grabbed the Staff of Alrous. "If you even think about taking my staff. I will be sure you will receive indescribable suffering as your punishment."
"Very well.." Isaac walked away from Angelo and out of his room.
