This is a rough draft of what I would hope comes as a quest continuation of the Sea Slug series. It's bound to have plenty of mistakes, and perhaps even a plot hole or two. Please point out mistakes or suggest better lines where possible, and I'll fix them whenever I remember to look at this thread.

I recall reading once that quest stories belong here, but if that has changed then I'll post this elsewhere.

The Seaslug queen has been defeated by the mighty pillar of justice, and the seas of Gielinor once again ripple peacefully. We join our hero, Frank as he wander into the Falador park....


"Get him," exclaimed Sir Tiffy. Many armor clad knights teleport in. Our hero, looking confused, asks, "W-what's going on," Sir Tiffy replies with, "I didn't want to do this, but you have betrayed us ... How could you?" Shocked, Frank exclaims, "But I haven't done anything! Tiffy, you know me," Tiffy replies with, "This isn't my doing. You'll have a fair hearing soon enough." Frank, nods in agreement, and does not resist the knights as they cuff and blindfold him.

On the way towards the Temple knights headquarters, Frank's mind Couldn't help but race. What do they think I've done? What's going to happen? What if I've been framed? What if this is all just a test? The sound of heavy armor trampling the floor became more frequent; there must be more knights around. Frank heard a commanding voice exclaim, "Halt, what business have we with this man?" One of the knights steps forward and explains the situation. After a few minutes, the march continues, and Frank hears a drawbridge being lowered. A sense of excitement tingles in the back of his head, "Am I finally going into the Temple Knight Headquarters? Will I meet the king?!" he wondered. Serenity Isle, a fun and relaxed clan. click this to see

Frank thought his blindfold would be removed soon, but instead the walking continued downwards and through a mazelike path filled with staircases and turns. At last, a door opens, and Frank is seated within. The blindfold is removed, and Frank immedietly reacts to the figure seated opposite of a table, "Savant?! What's going on?" Savant does not respond to the question, but instead asks, "What did you hope to gain from assaulting the prince? Were you trying to prove yourself? Maybe take his place?" Frank was stunned, "W-what, I did no such thing. Savant, the only prince I've killed was the slug prince!" Savant writes some notes with an unwavered expression. Savant then asks Frank to retell all sea slug related events that have occured. After Frank explains the events. Savant chuckled about the pillar, but then quickly had a look of concern on her face. After minutes of Savant writing notes and sending off knights to deliver them, she finally spoke, "I'm afraid the entire slug prince and queen events were all caused by the seaslug that was on you, or should I say, the sea slug that was planted on you!" Upon hearing those words, Frank felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and a sense of panic. Frank jumped from the chair, but was quickly knocked out by the body guards stood behind him. "Just as I thought," said Savant.

Frank later woke up in the infirmary with a sharp pain on the back of his neck. As his eyes opened, he saw a knight turn around and walk out. A short time later, Savant walks in and begins to explain what was done, "Our medics and wizards worked together to not only remove that slug from you, but also fool it into thinking it's still on you. Despite your assault on the prince, we have been able to convince the king that you were under the control of those damn slugs, your actions are your own once more.

The king has requested that you take on an infiltration mission. Sublety may not be your best quality, but you're more than capable of protecting yourself in a pinch. With a desire to prove himself as an ally, Frank agrees to the mission. Savant points to an armorstand and tells him to don his Acolyte armor for the mission. Savant explains how the wizards will work their magic to make him appear as an ally to the slugs.

Frank accepts the teleport from a nearby mage to the Fishing pier...The area is swamped with large Seaslugs. There appears to be nothing here other than them, but now wasn't the time to worry about Kennith or the others.

These slugs don't seem to care about Frank's prescence. Some even slither right by him without so much as a glance in his direction. Frank sees the citadel in the distance, so he decides to make his way there. There were no guards posted, but there were some drops of slime around the entrance, so there must have been guards there recently. Taking the opportunity, Frank charges in.

Although the citadel was in a different location, it had a very familiar layout. Frank easily makes his way through on memory, and avoids unfamiliar caverns. It was nothing like the other citadel he infiltrated, but why did the place feel so familiar? Frank reaches a door with a mighty guard in front. Frank tries to simply walk in, but the guard initiates an attack at the very sight of him! The guard was armed with a mighty spear, which seemed unusual, but there wasn't time for questions. Frank drew his blade and fought back! The battle was hard fought, but Frank prevailed. Before he opened the door he heard the slug mutter, "Dammit, I was too....cocky." Instead of finishing off the guard, or questioning its ability to speak, Frank decided to charge through the door. It wouldn't be wise to waste anymore time here, the other guards have probably been alerted by the noise that was made in the battle. It was now or never.

(This space is free, because I cannot really think of how the fight should go. Though it does end with Frank's opponent kneeling down to him, and the entirety of the citadel's guard blocking Frank from delivering the killing blow. Some of the guards also manage to restrain him.) Serenity Isle, a fun and relaxed clan. click this to see

A sword impales frank from the back, he can clearly see the blade piercing through his chest. The pain was intense, and he screams in agony, but he hears another scream along with him, a woman?

Franks past questing flashes before his eyes. He sees his buddy Cyrisus as they have a pint at Faldor's Rising Sun Inn. He recalls his battle with Solous Dellegar, his chats with Bob the cat, and many more adventures. He awakens to see he is still alive. Panting, he looks up to see the slug king make a hand gesture, and the sword impales him once more with the same pain and effects, but with a different vision.

Frank awakens in the Fremmenik Spiritual Realm. He quickly runs to Eir, the Valkyrie he spoke with during his Fremmenik adventures, and asks her to send him back right away. She does not respond. Angered, frank says, "Dammit, send me back already! I have urgent business back on Gielinor. To hell with any reasons you're about to give me, I'm going back even if I have to take you with me!" Eir turns around and responds, "Why are you shouting, mortal? You know none of this is really happening. Maybe you've been dead this entire time, or maybe you're not even here."Franks vision goes blurry as Eir finishes her sentence, and in the blink of an eye, he awakens on a fremmenik longboat...

Frank stands, and makes his way out of the boat. He's at Miscellenia. He stumbles towards the castle, but is stopped by a familiar voice calling out to him, "Hey there sleepyhead," she said, "Don't forget balmung now." Frank recognizes the woman holding Balmung as Astrid, his wife from Miscellenia. Frank is happy to see a familiar face with a smile. Frank remembers her dying, but he recalls Eir's words and decides to accept what his eyes see for the time being.

Astrid hands over the mighty axe and congratulates Frank on a job well done, she goes on to say, "Now that the dagganoth kings and queens have finally been killed, maybe there will be peace for this part of the world." Frank returns her statement with a smile and he, along with the rest of the fremmenik on the boat, begin their march towards the castle. Astrid dashes to the end of the pier and challenges Frank to a race back to the throne room. Frank accepts and Astrid dashes off. Frank shouts, "You have a 5 second headstart," as he continues to walk, but as soon as he makes it to the end of the pier, tragedy strikes... Serenity Isle, a fun and relaxed clan. click this to see

A horde of dagganoth emerge from the sea, and start for the castle! Frank readies his axe, but a nearby fremmenik tells Frank, "No my liege. We shall take care of these. You retreat to the castle and ensure the rest of the royal family is safe." Frank agrees and makes his way to the castle. He is able to see Astrid running through the courtyard, but as she opens the front door, a flood of water spews forth from the castle, sending him out into the field amongst the maple trees. Astrid was nowhere to be seen, so Frank makes for the castle again, but he noticed fires have sprouted all around the island. "This doesn't even make sense anymore," Frank said to himself as he made his way into the courtyard. Frank darts up what's left of the staircase for the throneroom, and there he sees a dagganoth egg. The egg hatches into a full grown sentinel. Frank swings his axe repeatedly at the beast, but its wounds seem to be healing almost instantly. Entire minutes of futile bloodshed pass and then Frank looks around to see that he was now surrounded by the flames. He lets balmung fall to the floor, drops to his knees and accepts his fate...

Moments later, Frank awakens in a familiar area. The Temple Knight's infirmary. Frank looks around and spots a medic. He begins to frantically ask him questions, "How did I get here? What happened to Miscellenia? What of the other Fremmeniks? Where's Sir Tiffy? I have important information, whom should I speak with? Why don't you answer me?" The medic opens a small box with a dead seaslug inside and says, "This thing was on you for who know how long. You'd be sentenced to death had this fellow not been found and burned off of you. You're lucky the king is a sensible man, and a competent warrior. Had you killed him, you'd be killed on the spot with no investigations." Serenity Isle, a fun and relaxed clan. click this to see
