Regarding the add for the Black Pentagram. Since I have to deal with the Monolith tonight, the add for BP will be up probably sometime tomorrow night. "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

Sorry, posted the Monolith's add here by mistake. "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

And again. "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

That's the last of them. "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

"Ah, what a cute thingumywutt," said Rose.

"How can you call that thing cute?!" demanded Taika, pointing at what appeared to be a porcupine the size of a house.

"But is a little cutey-wooty," said Rose, "In fact, I wanna take it home!"

"Now you listen here-" began Taiyama, but he was cut off as the porcupine curled into a ball, and began rolling towards him at incredible speed. Thankfully for Taiyama he saw it coming and managed to jump aside mere seconds before what was effectively now a giant ball of spikes would have slammed into him.

"Curse this thing!" demanded Taiyama, charging at the porcupine as it came to a halt. He slashed his sword into it with all his might, but to his dismay found that his it simply bounced off of the porcupine's hide. "What's this thing made of?!" he questioned, a mere moment before the porcupine slammed into him. The force of the hit sent Taiyama flying, and even left a dent in his dragonite armor. As he tried to get up, Taiyama noticed Cruus out of the corner of his eye, who was saying, "Oh spirits of the earth and sky, grant me thy power once more, and build a bridge connecting thy realms!"

As he finished, a bolt of lightning fell from the heavens and struck the porcupine, singeing its flesh. Yet, despite its wounds, the monster once again rolled into a ball and sped toward Cruus, who was too shocked to move aside. The monster got within a few feet from Cruus, only to be knocked aside at the last moment.

As the dust settled, Taiyama noticed a person in a forest green robe, standing in front of Cruus. In this person's hands was a double sided weapon Taiyama recognized as belonging to the one who had attacked them in front of the Mists of Time. "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

A curse slipped through the person's lips as she noticed her weapon was resonating with the force of the strike. A moment passed, and in a flash of light, the weapon had been reduced to a small piece of crystal.

Seeing its opponent disarmed, the porcupine turned to attack once more, but even as it rolled into a ball, there was a flash, and a wound opened in its hide. Screeching in pain, the monster fell back, eying its new attacker; a girl with long green hair, bearing a slim, long, sword, the likes of which Taiyama had not seen before.

The porcupine hissed at this newcomer, and dug at the ground, seemingly trying to gain footing before it attacked. However, before it could charge forward, green flames shot into it, and began melting its hide and quills. The monster shrieked in agony and fell to the ground, where it remained still.

In awe of what had happened, Taiyama turned to the source of the flames, and found there a second girl, identical to the first except in that her hair was tied up.

"Not a very strong Vile was it?" asked the first girl.

"No," agreed the second, "but there might be more nearby, so keep your guard up."

"Right," replied the first girl, then, in complete disregard of the warning she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Orcris, we found your group!"

At first Taiyama thought he was hearing things, but sure enough, Orcris quickly appeared through the mists.

"They seem to be alright," commented Seth, running up behind Orcris, "So I suppose we made it in time."

"What's he doing here?!" demanded Rose.

"Long story," said Orcris.

"That we should talk about back on Gielinor," said Usha, "This isn't really the safest part of Niflheim."

"That's true," said Cruus, "I'm sorry you had to see this place first, Lord Orcris, most of my homeland is much nicer, its just, this place was destroyed by demons and viles, and even though they were pushed back, the land hasn't had time to heal, and some of them still roam it." "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

"Cruus," said Orcris, "You don't need to explain it to me. Besides, like Usha said, this area is dangerous, and we need to head back."

"Uh, right," replied Cruus.

"So, how do we get back?" asked Selene.

"Hekate and I can use our power to open a portal," explained Usha, "But we need a 'path' if you will, to make sure we end up in the right place, and not some random world."

"And that's were Liam and I come in," said Seth, "I can use my power to make a path to Gielinor, and once Hekate and Usha make their portal, and I make the path, Liam will create a portal on his side that connects to the twins'."

"Sounds complicated," sighed Taiyama.

"It is, but the four of us know what we're doing," said Hekate, "Speaking of which, here we go."

So saying, she and Usha began to chant, and before long, a portal opened before them. Once this had happened, Seth released a beam of light into the portal, and a moment later, it changed color.

"All right," said Seth, "We're ready to go."

And thus, one by one, the group entered the portal.

There was a sense of vertigo, and suddenly, the group found itself in what seemed to be a theatre's box. Before them was a table laden with various pastries, teacups, and a pot of tea.

"Huh? Where are we?" asked Taiyama.

"Oh no," sighed Seth, "Not again..."

"Usha, make him stop this," groaned Hekate.

"Stop what?" asked Taiyama.

"Now that is mean, Hekate, let me have my fun," a voice sighed.

Taiyama instinctively turned to the source of the voice, and fell to the ground in shock. An middle-aged man with short black hair, a handlebar mustache, and red eyes, dressed in a suit complete with a bowler hat, stood upside down from the ceiling.

Orcris, Selene, and Cruus had similar reactions, although Orcris' was somewhat more mild. However, Rose immediately began laughing. "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

"Ah, what is your problem, young lady?" asked the man standing on the ceiling, "Most people have a better reaction to seeing me on the ceiling, like your friends over there. Of course, I know why you have that reaction... you're the type who likes it when the laws of nature are defied; a real lover of chaos and disorder."

"That just about sums her up," commented Orcris, "But how did you know that?"

"I know nearly all things past and present," replied the middle-aged man, "I have gained this knowledge from peering into the darkness..."

"As if," commented Taiyama.

"Really?" said the man, "Then I suppose you think I don't know that at the age of ten, you promised to always serve Saradomin? At that until a few years ago, you were on the fast track to join the monastery west of Edgeville, but at the night of your initiation into the monastary, you found out that one of your soon to be fellow monks was the same man that killed your grandfather many years ago. After discovering that, you approached him, pretending you needed advice, then murdered him in cold blood. Of course, as he lay dying, you told him your family name, and recognizing that your grandfather was among those he killed while a mercenary, that old monk gave you his heartfelt apology, and accepted his death as penance for his wrong-doing.

You were so distraught by this, that you not left the the monastery you forsook your faith in Saradomin, and for the next year tried to justify what you had done, but were never able to shake off your guilt. Eventually, the teachings of Zamorak brought you some solace by denying that guilt was even something worth heeding. However, the guilt remained at the back of your mind, and slowly drove you insane. You spent the next year as a crazed Zamorakian, killing all who crossed your path." "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand.
