“So you are saying that you will give me many advantages for nothing?”

“Essentially, yes. But I only have my master’s intentions in mind.”

“Very well then, I accept.

“When you need me to come, simply call out my name and I will answer.”

**********************************************

“Zemouregal , we come to you once more. I am sure you saw Lucien’s attack of Varrock?”

“Yes I did.”

“And you saw how miserably it failed because that accursed human attacked Lucien?”

“Yes I did! Hahahahaha that was quite funny to see Lucien get miserably defeated by that human. Hahahahahahaha!”

“It is serious my lord,” stated the messenger, trying not to burst with rage. “Just think, if this human destroys Lucien, he will get great powers. He will be powerful enough to destroy all the other Mahjarrat, and might even get powerful enough to fight Zamorak!”
“Really? Is it that serious? Well then Lucien is quite pathetic. What powers will that human get by defeating Lucien anyway?”

The messenger leaned closer and said, “Lucien barely permitted me to say this, but... He has the Stone of Jas... AND the Staff of Armadyl.”

Zemouregal gasped. “What!! He has both?!?!?! If Gregory gets those... I’ll be dead!! But wait. How will the human destroy Lucien if Lucien has those two?”

“I don’t know, but what I do know is that the human is capable of teleporting to wherever Lucien is, and Lucien has no real way to stop that. The spell is so small he can’t detect it to banish it, and the human could always break into his base while he is absent. He is essentially stuck staying in his base.”

“Very well. But after he defeats Gregory, I had better get one or the other, the Stone or the Staff.”

**********************************************
The fight with Lucien had abated somewhat, and he had not made any moves so far. Gregory was glad to have the help of a Mahjarrat in the upcoming fight, and had set up his citadel so that the turrets could hold power.

Let me explain. In the beginning, when he learned to cast spells without runes, he could only cast it a little before he ran out of power. Casting spells drained his power, and the more practice he got, the more spells he could cast before his power was drained. The Stone of Jas rejuvenated his power to a certain extent and made his power last longer, and the Staff of Armadyl also made his power last longer. This is why those two artifacts were so significant to Lucien’s success. Whichever side could cast the longest would win, and if one side ran out of power, they would be defeated.

This power was replaced by rest, meaning that if he had a place to store his power, he could charge more by rest, and then spend it, charge more, then spend it, until he had a massive amount of power in reserve to draw on if he himself got drained. He continued this process in this citadel of constant resting to charge and then casting the pure energy into the citadel itself, effectively using it as a battery, to hold his power until he needed it.

Of course, if he used runes, the runes would hold the power, and that is what mages all over Runescape could do. Really, even the mages of immense power among adventurers had no real power, as they had not truly obtained power in themselves; they simply used the power in runestones as the source, and trained themselves to manipulate it.

And where did runestones come from? Well he had no idea, but he imagined he could create them himself if he tried.

He charged his citadel for many days, effectively making it so that he was just as indestructible at his citadel as Lucien was at his fortress, except that only Gregory could draw the power from his citadel, no one else.

Chapter XXV

Gregory was sitting on this throne again, thinking about the events of the past few months, when suddenly a flash of light shot down in front of him. He stared as a man with a flowing white beard and a staff with a star came out of the light, and gasped as the man spoke. The man’s voice did not sound like it came from the man, but as if it came from the sky and manifested itself with the voice of thunder.

“You have done well Gregory. Very well. I have been watching you, and I am impressed at your skill and cunning. I have rebuilt the altars which were destroyed, and we are repairing the damage that has been done in Varrock. But your battle is far from done. There is still far, far more to do, and I cannot do it myself as then Guthix will step in. You see, Guthix is sleeping right now, and he will only wake if gods fight, not mortals or Mahjarrat. So I cannot fight myself, but you can. I will give you power to continue in your undertaking.”

Saradomin filled Gregory with a burst of power so great that it made him fly up out of his throne and land on his feet with a heavy thump on the floor. He was aware that his face was shining with power for everything he looked at seemed to be shining as if the sun was upon it. He immediately cast the power he had just obtained at the turrets of his citadel, and they started to glow and pure energy seemed to sputter out of the tips of them. The power ran all the way to the bottoms of the turrets, making the entire tower gleam from top to bottom.

He looked for Saradomin to thank him, but he was gone, and Gregory sat on his throne once again, and continued charging his pillars although it did not seem he needed to.

“Lord, we have assembled the armies you wished for. They are ten times as great as Lucien’*, but we do not even know how much greater then Gregory’s they are. His armies are hidden underground, and every time we send a spy it either gets killed or trapped in the prison room at the bottom.”

“We can assume they are greater. I do not wish to wake Guthix, but we may have to fight. The situation is getting more and more tense, and we don’t even know how many allies the two sides have.”

“I am sure we will win, Lord Zamorak.”

********************************************

“I am going to distract him. I must distract him. And I know exactly how.”

“How, Lord Lucien?”

“Well the Stone gives me much greater power while I am touching it permitting me to summon a hundred times as many creatures then normal, does it not?*

*Yes it does.”

“Although I can only use the Stone so many times before I must permit IT to charge, I can still make many times more then without it.”

“Indeed.”

“I shall use it to summon creatures. Then I shall teleport them to the destination I want them, then attack. I do not have to go, all I must do is stay here and make a portal system, through which I can attack.”

Gregory was listening to Lucien’s plans through his hidden spy, which amazingly had never been discovered by Lucien. He realized he must stop Lucien’s portal system, and thought of a very clever way. He teleported through the tiny little portal he had made during the fight with Lucien, then cast spell after spell of teleportation blockers in the room with the Stone of Jas.

He then walked through the fortress, casting teleport blockers all over it. He had realized that Lucien had placed teleblocks to stop others from teleporting, but not himself. So he passed through and therefore made it impossible for Lucien to make portals, inevitably stopping him from using this plan. Whenever he came across a guard, he took their mind and erased their memory of him.

He continued this until every inch of the entire fortress was teleblocked, except the room where Lucien and his advisors were meeting. Gregory even teleblocked the area outside the fortress, even the icy mountain area. After he had finished, he found a place where he could teleport, and then left to his citadel.

The reason for him leaving the Stone of Jas was because he knew that Lucien would have placed a magical alarm to let him know as soon as anyone teleported there, and then would have attacked instantly. Later, after Gregory’s spy had informed him that Lucien was finished with his meeting, he teleported to the fortress and teleblocked the meeting room too, while dodging Lucien.

“What is happening!! I can’t make a portal!! Don’t tell me the Gregory put teleblocks here too. This is ridiculous. Argh! I will have to march the troops to the cities manually now. How frustrating.” Gregory, listening to this and disappointed that he had failed to stop Lucien from attacking at all, prepared to ambush the forces which Lucien would soon be deploying.

Lucien, as soon as he had gotten over his fury at being unable to make portals ANYWHERE in his entire fortress, began to simply summon creatures at a very fast pace, and they marched down the ramp that had been built from his fortress to the ground of the wilderness in a long column towards Varrock. Gregory positioned himself directly in front of them in a position where he could easily attack all of them at once, and he did.

He attacked dragons, tormented demons, skeletons, undead mages, snakes, and many other types of creatures. The army was truly massive, but he could not be defeated. He cast barrage after barrage of ice, blood, smoke, water, fire, earth, and air spells, called up earthquakes and lightning storms, and even possessed some of the creatures to attack other creatures.

When he discovered he could cause a mass brawl among Lucien’s army by simply causing them to fight each other, he stopped casting spells and possessed creatures, causing them to attack their allies and effectively making a chaotic battle. After he had done enough damage, he simply stood there and watched them destroy each other. Lucien, standing at the Stone of Jas and summoning constantly, sending the monsters marching out as they were summoned, was unaware of the extent of Gregory’s success.

He had assumed that Gregory would come and attack his force, but he had also assumed that Gregory would eventually run out of power, and be forced to retreat. Finally, when the black knights realized what was happening, they ran into the room where the Stone was kept and told Lucien,

“Lord Lucien! Gregory is successfully decimating your forces, and somehow managed to get them fighting amongst themselves. Now he is just standing there and waiting for them all to die.”

“What?!?!” roared Lucien as he stopped summoning. “Gah! I should have thought of his mind-possession powers. Of course he is probably just making them fight each other. Very well, I am reduced to my last measure. We will take the fight directly to him, and this time I will make the creatures much more strong-minded, and this time with captains and generals.”

Realizing that the horde of creatures had stopped coming out of Lucien’s citadel, Gregory prepared for Lucien himself to come out of the fortress and challenge him. But no. Instead he saw another flow of monsters come out, but this time more powerful, and this time more organized, and they had leaders of many ranks keeping the army in order.

During the fight, Gregory had stopped listening to his spy that told him all of Lucien’s plans, but now he ordered it to tell him what it had heard. It informed him of Lucien’s idea to attack Gregory’s citadel, and Gregory became alarmed. He teleported straight to the tower, and prepared to fight the invaders.
