The room fell silent as Zaros's eyes became unfocused. Not Amsca, he thought. Amsca was his oldest friend, the one that stood by him when no one else did. He saw Amsca's smiling face clearly etched in his mind. The idea that he would never smile again was too much to comprehend.
"Who was it?" asked Zaros finally, bitterness laced in every syllable.
"A local revolutionary," Zamorak replied. "The desert is crawling with them, and now they've seized their chance to take over. Khaseph is in chaos."
Zaros's face darkened further. "Any connection to the Sons of Raldeir?"
"None, as far as we can tell. Enakhra has risen as Queen, but she needs help, as she is surrounded by magicians that want her dead. She has far less sway in that society than Amsca did. Therefore, I propose that Azzanadra go to stabilize the Kingdom."
Azzanadra raised an eyebrow. "Surely, in the present climate, I would be more useful here in Senntisten."
"The people of Khaseph remember and respect you," was Zamorak's response. "Besides, that brings me to the next part of my report. Emperor, your attack on the Sons' headquarters was successful. Their leaders were not present, but most of the others were destroyed. They have not launched an attack since you left, so we believe that their capabilities are restricted. If ever there was a time we were safe, it is now. That is why you can go, Azzanadra."
Zaros nodded. "It makes sense," he agreed. "Besides, Kharid is an important ally. We must do all we can to save it."
"I have devised a military envoy for Azzanadra," Zamorak continued. "Akthanakos should go because he is most familiar with the territory. Also, Fareed and Kamil should go as guards."
Azzanadra looked to Zaros, and the Emperor nodded. "It sounds like a good plan," Zaros replied. "How long will Azzanadra have to stay in Khaseph?"
"Not long," Zamorak replied. "Only until the government restabilizes."
"Alright, it's decided. Good luck, everyone," Zaros said.

The meeting adjourned, the group rose from the table and went their separate ways. Zaros waited long enough to bid Azzanadra farewell, and then he made his way to the northern courtyard.
Zaros embraced his wife as he approached. "I got your message," he began. "What is it?"
"Ihrba*ka came while you were away," she replied.
Zaros frowned. "What did he say?"
"He...he said that there was a traitor in the castle."
"Really? Who is it?"
Esther shook her head. "He wouldn't say."
Zaros turned away, cursing to himself. "Why does he do this to us?"
"He said the traitor wanted the Mantle!"
Zaros looked back to her. "So that's what this is about? Someone is working with the Sons of Raldeir and killing my subjects just so I will make them a god?"
"And you mustn't give it to him!"
"Of course." But Zaros's mind was still racing, trying to pick out the traitor in the group. "I'll ask Zamorak," he said. "He might have an idea who it is."
"I don't trust Zamorak!" Esther returned, and it was clear she had been holding this point in since the beginning. "You weren't here, you didn't hear the way the people praised him. While he ruled, the Sons did nothing! Now he's a hero among the people!"
Zaros shook his head. "Zamorak has been with me so long. He's always been my most faithful friend besides Azzanadra. I won't believe he wants to betray me until I have proof."
Esther frowned. "Just promise me you'll be careful around everyone. I'm worried, Zaros!"
The Emperor hugged his wife. "I'll be fine, Esther. Traitor or not, I can handle this. I do have loyal friends that can help me."
Esther rubbed the back of his head. "I'm glad. There is another thing..."
It would have been impossible for people in the nearby rooms to the courtyard not to be aware that Zaros was going to have a son, for the Emperor's voice can carry when it wants to. Sure enough, there was a celebration that night, led by the happy father, that put everything else aside for the moment.

that is one HELL of a story so far.
Zaros is the god most shrouded in mystery. We know he had his powers stolen by zamorak, beyond that we aren't told much of anything about him. He is thought to be the original god of chaos but jagex hasn't confirmed it and hinted a few times to the opposite. its is a great runescape character. Why i lead a clan in his name . Knights of Zaros.
you have a new reader. Spent most the day reading this from start to present. Well worth the read

A lot of great posts since I went away for holidays, I see :D But Riekan, now Azzanadra leaves with Kamil and Fareed to the desert, does this mean Zamorak is ready to lock him up and conceil his powers in the 4 diamonds? :O
@ Cena: Zaros was not the original god of chaos, as the new quest Curse of Arrav will make clear. Zemouregal states here: "Zaros freed us from the desert god, but he will never understand the path of Chaos." Jagex also told us that he wasn't the god of pure evil, so his real meaning in the world is unknown, but I certainly agree with you that he is a very interesting character :)
