Once again, I have opened up a questionable yet simple F.A.Q for all your RTS questions.

Q: Okay. You revealed a little while ago regarding why Zechariah went after Julie in the first place. Is there a relation between Stephanie and Julie? And why is Zechariah obsessed with Julie to begin with?

A: To answer question one. There is a relation between Stephanie and Julie. If you compare their Personalities and Appearances, they are almost completely the same. So, with that being said - you know now that Stephanie is the ancestor of Julie. To answer question two, Zechariah is partly possessed by Cameron, who still remains trapped in the living world by living on in his family members. Zechariah, who happened to be alot different before seeing Julie, was greatly changed once Cameron possessed him.

Q: What about Deus?

A: What about Deus? What? Like details? Alright, alright. Compare Frederick and Deus. See that the two have an eyepatch and their eye color is purple. Not to mention that they're both quite tall. And their Personalities are the same. So, in other words. Frederick is the ancestor of Deus.

Q: Character inspiration?

A: Honestly, I got my idea of Cassius from Blue Dragon's Jiro (anime, not the game). I got the idea of Deus from another Deus I made up that looks the same on another story me and my brother made up. I believe I got the idea of Angelo from another anime, I think. Roy, I have no clue where he came from. I think from another character from the same story that me and my brother made up.

Q: Idea inspiration?

A: The idea of demonic power from a god came from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Cassius almost losing his consciousness. I actually don't know WHERE that came from. o_o

Q: If Dante's Godsword was an actually item in the real game, what would the special be called?

A: Balanced Burn. =P

Q: So, how did Isaac get weakened but not killed when Julie shot him?

A: Legends state that Vipin's Bow has an enchanted power craved into it. The bow can sense if the user does not wish to kill someone. And once the arrow is shot, the arrowhead glows the color snow-white. No matter where the person is shot, they still feel the weakness as if they were shot but they didn't feel the pain or experience the bleeding. Just as long as the arrow remains there, the life of the person shot is not threatened. Vipin has this ability because he was known for his peaceful personality and the fact he had spared many lives when he was alive. The ability is known as Vipin's Miracle.

Q: Void was able to hurt Dante? And Kvetch was able to hurt Spero? But didn't you say-

A: Void IS corrupt which means he's unbalanced. Which also means he CAN hurt a Balanced One. And Kvetch is insane, so he too is unbalanced.

Q: Who was that knight that help the group on the second chapter?

A: Spero.

Q: How did Roy live in the end? Did the fact that Roy died count at all!?

A: When in the state of 'coma', the one who is bit isn't technically dead. So, Roy was still alive but Guthix being born killed Roy. However, Anna brought him back to life.

Q: The Kvetch and Spero fight was cut off. And Spero was absent from the ending. And Kvetch is still at large. Zomg! Did Kvetch kill Spero?!?

A: Hmm..Well I guess you can assume that, yes.

Have a question? Post it and I'll answer.

This time around, I've included translation to ALL the characters names from TWIF 1, 2, and RTS. Even bio character's names will be translated (if I can find them). This might not be right translation, but then again it might. So, just read them. :P

Translations

The World in Flames' names (during name creating, I didn't really give much thought into meanings):

Dante is the short form of the name Durante, which means "enduring" or "steadfast". Dante's last name Bellerophon was the name of Greek hero who was "the greatest hero and slayer of monsters".

Stephanie means "crown". And Stephanie's last name Apollo comes from a Greek god of archery (among other things).

Frederick means either "peaceful ruler" or "dark man". And Frederick's last name Aether comes from a Greek god (again) of the pure, the upper air. (the reason he mainly used Air Wave :P )

Alfred means "elf counsel"

Enyo's name came from a Greek goddess of destructive war with her last name coming from Dike, the Greek goddess of justice.

Ivan means "God is gracious." His last name Abderus was the name of a Greek divine hero.

Spero's name means "I hope" in Italian. Spero's last name, Forseti came from a Norse god (yay, not Greek again.) of justice, peace, and truth.

Zenovia's name is the Modern Greek name for Zenobia, which means "life of Zeus".

Ambrotos' real name Ambrosios means "immortal" and his last name Xiuhcoatl means "weapon of destruction" so..."Immortal weapon of destruction" :P

Claire's name means "bright, clear" and her last name I believe means "power, strength, force".

Cameron means "crooked nose" and his last name Aeolus comes from (you guessed it) a Greek god of the winds.

Julia means "descended from Jupiter" (strange huh?) and her last name Peiran means "attack, assault" (if translation is correct)

Thanatos is (you guessed it again) the Greek god of Death.

Solomon means "peace"

Reid means "red-headed"

Nero means "black"

Sarah means "noble lady, princess"

Mark means either "horse" or "defense"

(other bio characters I couldn't find a meaning to them)

Kochab (which comes from The Assasssins of Kochab) means "the star". And what I mean by the star is The Staff of Alrous which comes down to the land like a shooting star.

Almeisan (which comes from Almeisan's Judgment) means "the shining one". Gienah (which comes from Almeisan's Gienah) means "The wing". So, in translation to the two attacks. Almeisan's Judgment means "The Shining One's Judgment" and Almeisan's Gienah means "The Shining One's Wing".

Dziban means "the two wolves"

Saiph (which comes from The Rogues of the Saiph) means "sword". I think that might be it.

(only character without a name meaning is Alrous :o)

Rays that Shine's names:

Roy Elamlife means "Red Hiddenlife" which is a hint of Roy's life is hidden from the Sekot Ar Imoo cult. The Red translation in a hint of the fact that Roy's life was covered in red or aka blood.

Anna means "favor; grace" Elior means "my God is my light" which means that once upon a time Anna was once very strong when it came to her belief in Saradomin. However, when her family slowly disappeared, so to did her faith.

Cassius means "Empty, vain" while his last name Lysimachus means "a loosening of battle" or "freedom fighter"

Deus Celino means "God's Heaven"

Julie's last name Meirit means "giving light"

Jacob's last lame Vortigern means "high lord" or "overlord"

Angelo means "angel, messenger"

Alberto means "bright nobility"

Zechariah's last name Aeolus means "quick-moving, nimble"

Kyrie Delamort literally means "Chooser of death"

Sekot Ar Imoo means "follow the dusk to war"

Malvolio means "ill-will"

The Merikh Knights mean "the death knights"

The name Samil comes from the once holy angel that became fallen

Orfeo Glid means "Darkness Sacrifice"

Mundoo Odol mean "Great Spirit's Blood"

The name Isaac means "he will laugh"

(the other bio characters I was unable to find a meaning)

Original Ideas:

Originally, Ivan was never suppose to die. But I made him as it would have been better for storyline.

There actually was never a plan to created a TWIF 2. I actually was going to end it on just part 1. But as more ideas came to mind - so did more possibilities for a Part 2.

Cassius was original suppose to have the name Tacitus, which also means "empty, vain" but after my choice of which would suit him best - I went with Cassius.

My first idea for the storyline of the Rays that Shine was actually suppose to be much different then what it is now.

1. After the Black Knights attacked Rimmington, Roy and Anna were taken to the Duel Arena to fight as gladiators - this is where they met Cassius who was imprisoned there by Angelo.

2. The White Knights were actually suppose to have been killed off during the Fall of Falador. And they were replaced with what I called the "Blue Claw Knights".

But I quickly began to change my ideas. And finally the story of the Rays that Shine came about!

Also, Rays that Shine was suppose to be called "Rise of the Saviors" references the "Saviors" to be Dante and Spero.

As we say farewell to the TWIF series. I officially open up!:

The Boredom Truly Kills Random Fun Time!:

RTS: Chapter 31.

"We best be on our toes." Dante sighed. "It's now or never-"

"-to decide..!" Roy began to sing.

" O_o "

"What the hell?" Cassius said.

"What? It's a good song." Roy continued to sing.

Cassius sighed. "..He has officially just broke the fourth-wall...-_-"

"Yep..." Anna replied.

----------
TWIF 2: Chapter 7.

"So that's the reason for all of these illusions?" Zenovia asked.

"No. The reason you had that illusion was because somebody here was simply remembering the day of the attack and the magic here happened to change the scene into the day before the attack."

Everyone looks at Claire. She shuffles her eyes left and right.

Later on in the chapter...

"Hold on for a second. Who said I'm coming?" Spero raised his voice. Solomon looks at Spero with a smirk and they're all teleported to the Assassins of Kochab's base. Spero begins to get enraged.

"W-What the hell old man!?" Spero shouted.

"Is "hell" your favorite word?" Solomon asked.

"Yes! Finally somebody figures it out!!!"

----------

TWIF 2: Chapter 8.

"Yes. Solomon told me and my friends about it but I haven't awakened my powers yet since I was unsealed from the rune temple." Elder Druid Timothy begins to make a "Hmmm..." sound.

"What is it, Elder Timothy?" Wenceslas asked.

"We haven't got much time." Timothy replied.

"What exactly do you mean sir?" Zenovia asked.

Timothy growled. "Can we hurry this along? My favorite soap opera is going to be on in a half an hour.."

" O_o "

TWIF 2: Chapter 9

"It seems Lieutenant Enyo Dike has betrayed your army and has now joined The Army of the Altais." Zamorak grins his teeth in enraged anger. He sits up off his throne chair with his fists clenched at tight as he could get them.

"WHAT!!? Treason!!? How dare she!! I will have her head for this!!!" Zamorak roared.

"That's taking it a little extreme, don't you think?"

"You're next. -.-"

------
TWIF 2: Final Chapter

But before he could stab Alrous. Alrous began to glow red orange. His body grew into a very large and tall monster. Spero and Dante step back several steps by intimidation. Alrous' new form appeared to be a large beast. It was about 10x the size of Dante and Spero. His appearance was a large demon-like monster that's skin color was orange. His eye color was a glowing burnt orange.

He had two legs and two arms with extremely sharp looking claws. He had these strange vein like marks all over his body that were the color burnt orange. He had orange wings on his back. He had large, curved horns on his head, a large tail, had Alrous' symbol on his forehead, and appeared very muscular. Dante and Spero looked straight up at Alrous.

"W-what just happened!?" Spero shuddered.

"Alrous is drawing the power of the Divine Dusk night to feed the form he has been hiding since his corruption." Dante replied.

"I shall destroy you all with my angry!!!!" Alrous yelled. "I will rule this world as Dracul Alrous!!!!"

*Final Fantasy boss battle music goes off*

Later...

"Is he...dead?" Spero asked.

"N-no....he's still alive..but he's too weak to continue fighting us." Dante replied.

Spero glares at Alrous and begins stomping on him. "DIE! DIE! DIE!! DIE!! DIE!!! DIE!!!!"

"o.o"

*Final Fantasy victory music goes off*

RTS: Chapter 18

"Now that you know. I would like to ask one simple question to you, Cassius." Malvolio said. "Would you like to escape this place and come with me?"

"Come with you? Where?'

"To my family, of course."

"Your...family?"

"That's right. I do not work with Angelo. I have my own goals to complete."

"Are you out to defeat the Black Knights and the White Knights?"

"Yes. And as an extra bonus, if you come. I'll give candy, and other sweets."

"Sweet!!"
-----
RTS: Chapter 19

"Y-you can't do this to me! I'm the Prince of the Black Knights! This is not fair!! This isn't right!!" he screamed.

"Welcome to the real world."

Cassius disappeared into the floor. Where he appears was in a strange metal room. He scans his eyes around until a giant metal machine walked over to him. "Welcome to MechScape!" the machine greeted. "AHHHH!!!!" Cassius ran screaming.
-------
RTS: Chapter 32

"Wow! So, these are the Godswords." Roy said.

"Wow! You're actually interested in something!" Cassius replied. Roy growled after Cassius' comment.

"So, Cassius. Would you happen to be armed with the knowledge to the requirements to wield the Godswords?" Deus asked.

"Yeah, 75 Attack."

"And how do we get that?"

"Train?" Cassius looks at Deus' highscores. He sees that he isn't even ranked. "Wow Deus..your a noob. You're not even ranked."

"Ranked? Yes I am, I'm a Lieutenant."

"Damn..you really ARE a noob."

"-_-"
------
RTS: Final Chapter.

Spero's blade shatters in an instant. Spero falls to the ground. Kvetch smiled and laughed. But oddly enough, Spero smirked. He shot to the feet and ran away from Kvetch. He stood in place and stomped the ground one more time. Something from underground travels Kvetch's way. Large hands of rock grab Kvetch's legs and arms.

(Spero's best impersonation of an Earthbender)

RTS: Final Chapter.

Kvetch struggles to break free. "Release me at once!" he shouted. Spero faced Kvetch, sat down on the ground, and rests. His energy was at 0% and he could not run anymore. His Hitpoints were about to hit 0.
--------
TWIF: Final Chapter

"Give it to me."

"Here's the stone." Solomon said as he gives Joshua the stone. "It's not in any language I've seen before. "

Lrod Glauthix nes chosa tlen lew mater for Tlen Saff lo Amius, tair mis Denet Belelorhpoe

"Some noob keeps poking my shoulder and he won't stop..." he clenches the stone harder and harder with every word he reads through. "Stop him pl0x" Joshua translated.

"You can read that as well?" Solomon questioned. He looks at the tablet and sighed. "That's not what it says!"

"Ooooh...you're right. I was speaking in the ancient tongue of the noob."
------
RTS: Chapter 31

Almost at the end, they hasted but still acted like they were walking on eggs. Suddenly, the group of Bielzenians from earlier headed their way. Spero quickly shapeshifted into one of the Bielzen vampyres. The group leader looked at Spero with question. "Why do you have humans? Why not feast upon them?" the leader asked.

"Well, you see. I was bringing them to you, my lord." Spero replied. Suddenly, wind blew from north to the south, from behind Spero and the others. The leader took one deep breath and realized that this was not one of his men.

"You brought a snack."

Roy sighed. "No Twilight references...-.-"

" :( ...but.."

"No!"
-------
Something Altair from Assassin's Creed should try..

Altair walks over to his target as a stranger. "Hey you." he whispered from an alley way.

His target turns around. "Yes?" he asked.

"If you come into this alley way. I'll give you alot of candy."

The guy began jumping around like a little kid. "Zomg!? Really!?! Who knew somebody give free stoff!" Man walks into alley way and Altair follows. While the man's back was turned, Altair assassinates him. "Yeah. Owned."
