Anastasia returned to her apartment to find everyone, including Lowe for a change, already there. “Did we .... plan something?” She asked her friends as she slipped off her dirty over shirt.

“Naw darlin,but since all us been workin’ so much...” Forrest started to explain.

“We decided to have a little dinner party here, just you know, to let everyone know how we’ve all been.” Lowe finished. She wiped her face off on her shirt.

“Sounds fine. I’ll get drinks.”

“Already have them.” Lowe smirked and tipped a vodka bottle into a cup for her.

“Alright then!” She smiled and sat down.

“So me and Caden are doing good with running.” Aiden said as he snacked lightly on some grapes.

“Ya’ll two look better.” Forrest said with a nod.

*Thanks.” Caden replied.

“Whadda’bout you Azura?” Forrest asked.

“Well nothing really... Just same old.”

“Hah, that and forcing us all how to learn that damn “Lunar Contact* spell so you can bother us from any where on the planet.” Lowe joked.

“It’ll come in handy some day!” She sighed.

“So what about you Ko?”

“Ah... just settling down here in the ‘new world’.”

“Tell you what man, things got a little bit more quiet when you moved out of the archery shop, makes me feel all lonely.” Lowe said with a laugh.

“Honestly I do miss sleeping next to an arsenal of weapons, but my job moved me to Burthorpe, and seeing as Anastasia lived conveniently close..”

“I was just playing around. It’s nice to see you’re doing well in your new career... what is that you do, anyway?” He asked.

“Me? I’ve been given the task of making sure the business has proper stock of the right things for our purpose.” Though that statement sounded oddly vague and slightly awkward, no one bothered to say anything about it. Conversation continued for much of the night, but slowly the group had to tip their hats and say goodnight, before finally all but Ko and Anastasia were gone.

“What a mess.” She groaned motioning at the dirtied up table they had sat at.

“Go take a bath, I’ll clean it up.” Ko said as he began to carry the dishes off to the kitchen.

“That’s not fair for you.”

“I don’t pay rent here.” He smiled briefly.

“Alright then.” she ran herself a steamy hot bath and looked angrily at the pouch containing a Karamthulhu Overlord. She relaxed and leaned her head back, when the door creaked open ever so slightly.

“Ko?” She called out.

“Yeah?” He replied from across the apartment.

“Never mind.” She decided she was over tired. She bathed for a long time, with nothing planned for tomorrow and the weather starting to get cooler, there was no hurry. She left the wash room and realized it was late, the moon was already beginning to fall back over the horizon again. Slipping on a silky gown she grabbed the pouch and headed to her bedroom. The air felt heavy, and something else was not quite right though she couldn’t determine what.

Entering the bedroom, she noticed Ko already asleep in her bed. She left the pouch on her nightstand and soon drifted off to sleep next to him.


Else where.

“So he lives there now?* Lowe asked while slipping off his jacket and shutting the door to his shop behind he and Forrest.

“Yeah man, that’s what Azura told me, and they get on just fine from what I hear.”



“I should be happy she finally found a guy I guess.” He sighed.

*I don’t think they’re romantically involved.” Forrest laughed.

“He still lives there though.”


“He’s also a workaholic like someone I know.”

“I can’t help that, I need money to survive, like everyone.”

“Course buddy, just sayin’ you could put it aside every now an’ again, or get a new job.” Forrest suggested.

“Like what? Besides, I like this store.” Forrest laughed.

*I don’t know, pro hunter, monster slayer, deep sea fishermen?” Lowe’s eye glowed briefly.

“Deep sea fishing... that sounds like fun, and i’m already missing an eye, so i’ll fit in with a crew of pirates...”

“There ya go, but somehow I doubt spendin’ months at sea in a boat will assist yer social life.”

“I’ll figure something out...” He sat down and began deep thinking.

Back at the apartment.

A sudden wet “Thump” woke Anastasia from her sleep, unusual considering the fact she had plenty to drink earlier. She sat up in bed and tried to see what it might’ve been. Just as she settled back down into bed, she saw a slight glimmer appear from her creaked bedroom door. Pulling her sword from under the bed, she ran at the door and flung it open, prepared to fight. But she saw nothing in her moonlight bathed living room.And then it moved, quickly and awkwardly past the window and back into a shadow. Roughly two feet tall, with a mess of appendages flopping around ungracefully as it moved.

She tossed a piece of paper into the air, and used her necklace to combust it, giving a momentary shine of light, just long enough to catch a glimpse of it hop into the kitchen. Snatching a half melted candle off the living room candle, she lit it and quickly chased the thing, sword firmly in hand. She did*’t sharpen it after the task today, but she knew it was still very capable of chopping up an unarmored... thing.

Standing in her small gown with her weapon and light, she glanced around and saw nothing on the ground, or on the counters. She looked at the sink, filled with water and noticed the water was shaking, as if something had just entered. She leaned over to take a look, and the intruder leapt from the water and hopped a long the ground towards her bedroom. “Damn it!” She screamed chasing the Karamthulhu Overlord, there was no doubt, it was her summoning creature Pikkupstix had just gifted to her.

Spilling water out of it’s glass bowl, it hopped at an alarmingly quick rate, and seem to levitate when turning corners, if only for a second or two. “What is it?” Ko shouted running out of the bedroom in just his boxers, armed with his fighting knife.

“My Karamthulhu is loose!” She shouted.

“How!?” He replied and noticed it hopping towards the front door.

“Just catch it, we figure that out later.” The two ran after it, and Ko leapt over it, and landed in front of the door, blocking its escape. It turned around and noticed a sword pointed at it. It pulled its entire body into the bowl and rolled between her legs. She jabbed the bowl, but not with much force, causing it only to crack slightly. It flew through the air on a jet of water and back into the pouch from which it came. Ko and Anastasia looked at each other briefly.

“What the hell?!” She finally shouted, as Ko rubbed his head. They locked it in a chest and then slipped back into bed, deciding to figure out what that was all about tomorrow.

Waking early in order to depose of the Karamthulhu pouch, Anastasia wasn’t surprised to see that it had apparently escaped once more. She groaned and sat down at the maple table in her kitchen and began eating while trying to think of where it might’ve run off to. She glanced up at the stove and noticed Ko wasn’t in the room with her. In fact he was still asleep, who the hell cooked? She noticed the single large eye of the Karamthulhu starring at her from the ground beside her chair. It flung itself on top of the table and snatched the plate of food away from her, ducking under a chair to resume eating in peace.

“Something smells good.” Ko said while yawning as he stumbled into the kitchen.

“The karamthulhu cooks, apparently.” she sighed while letting her head fall to the table. “I have yet to have another familiar act this way.”

“It’s under the chair, eating?”

“Yes. But do they even have a mouth?” She wondered.

“No, not from what I can see... oh wait.”

“Hmm?”

“It has mouthes in the tentacles.” She leaned over to look under the table, and sure enough the food was draining off the plate through it’s tentacles.

*That’s just not right.” The two got to work preparing breakfast while trying to figure out what to do with the Karamthulhu, unsure whether or not it will simply cause more problems or not.

*I don’t know, I think he is worth giving a chance.” Ko suggested.

“I suppose, but is already behaving weird. If this keeps up, i’m going to have some words with Pikkupstix..”

“Sounds like a plan.” He finally agreed. Anastasia dressed in hide and boots, prepared to hike, stab, shoot, or run her way through any problems. She couldn’t think of any better way to test a familiar’s worth than by giving them hell to deal with, and more. Though Ko was making reasonable amounts of money, he still did*’t own any weapons besides his simple knife, and no armor either. Though as the two exited the apartment, they never realized what the day had in store for them, and their new squishy friend.

Walking towards the nearest source of killable creatures that won’t be missed, Anastasia wasn’t sure whether or not a fish would do well in a frozen and bitter mountain filled with wolves. This was all off set as a sudden gruff voice entered her mind.

“Hey... Anastasia, can you hear me? It’s Caden, using that Lunar whatever spell to contact you.”

“Alright, just testing it out or something?” She mentally replied, as Ko wondered what the hell was going on.

“I wish..” A sudden roar that she knew was Aiden’s entered her mind, followed by the sound of a blade landing in its target. “So remember a while back we were talking about a “Godwars Dungeon”? Yeah, we finally got there, and things aren’t going as planned.”

“That’s terrible... Well anyway I’ve got some stuff to do, so I’ll..”

“Wait wait wait! We sorta need your... uh... help?”

“Oh.” She stood confused for a moment or two. “What do you need?”

“Potions, lots of them. Pain killing potions, strength boosting potions.” Looking straight a head at the large herblore shop just before her, she figured she would be capable of assisting them.

“Yeah okay, just hang in there, i’ll get there soon.”

“Thanks!.. ARRRGH!” Another gruesome sound echoed in her mind as the mental link between them broke.

“So we have problem.” She said, turning to Ko. She explained as they quickly emptied the shelves of the local herblore shop and shoved them into a bag. Paying for them on the way out, the two teleported to the very top of the so called “Trollheim Mountain.”

“So we just work our way down past all these trolls, charge into a frozen tundra, climb down a more than likely damaged rope, and then find Aiden and Caden past the horde of angry thawed soldiers?” Ko asked as they ran and leapt down the mountain side, dodging aggressive trolls as they went.

“That’s the plan.” She replied, as the Overlord blasted a troll away from her with a stream of extremely high pressure water. She failed to notice him stop a volley of rocks soaring at her as well, as he skillfully knocked them all out of the air with several more powerful streams.

Once they reached the valley floor the temperature took a steep drop. Ignoring that, they continued running as more trolls hurled rocks at them, none of them connecting to their intended target as the Karamthulhu Overlord continued to protect Ko and Anastasia, both of which failed to notice. As they neared a narrow crevice in the rock, snow began to fly past them, and the wind made it difficult to run effectively. Trolls continued their assault but were being shot down consistently by the Overlord.

Trodding out into the blizzard, they could barely see the entrance Caden described, and found themselves determined to reach their goal, as a pack of wolves closed in on them. The Overlord began fighting them all around the two, but through the flurry of snow and the winds that made hearing impossible, they did*’t even realize it. They finally reached the rope and began to slide down into the explosion of violence below. The two slowly made their way towards the ground, and then noticed the Overlord drop past them. “Well he’s dead.” Anastasia remarked as she continued to scale down.

The Overlord levitated briefly before colliding with the ground, and while his humans were focused on climbing, he killed all the threats near the rope to ensure a safe landing. It was dimly lit as Ko and Anastasia sprinted past all the carnage and attempted to locate Aiden and Caden, who were taking cover behind a “Big rock.”

“Over here!” The thunderous voice stood out above the chorus of battle cries, shouting, screams, and the endless clang of metal on metal. The two ran towards the voices.

“Here they come.” Caden said to his brother, who pulled his axe from the skull of an attacking hobgoblin.

“About damn time.” He grunted. The two had taken a beating, but intended to kill a huge fierce demon of Zamorak. A pair of winged human like bird-men swooped down from engagement, and gave chase to the oblivious duo as they ran quickly towards the brothers. The Overlord erected a momentary wall of water, that made their wings too heavy to fly, and they crashed to the ground. Anastasia and Ko ducked behind the rock with the twins, and quickly emptied the bag of potions on the ground, they scooped them up, and started identifying them before chugging a few.

“Is that healthy?” Ko jokingly asked.

“Probably not.* Aiden said standing up, feeling stronger and healthier.

“But it’s time for us to kick ass... thanks guys we’ll have to cut you in on the loot, whatever it is.”

“So what’* left for you to do?” Anastasia asked.

“Swim across that icy lake, battle through packs of demons, challenge the biggest and baddest one to a fight, kick his teeth, call it a day.” Caden explained quickly. “But we gotta go before these potion effects wear off.”

“Wait!” Ko said quickly, reaching into his pockets “Here take these. Just stick it into an artery, and pump it in.”

“What’s it do?” Caden began to examine the syringe.

“It’s adrenaline in a vial.” He explained, as the Karamthulhu single handedly held back several angry soldiers from ripping them to shreds. Caden pulled the cover off the needle part of the syringe, and turned his arm so that he could find a suitable vein for the job. Stabbing the syringe in, it took mere seconds for the effects to show. Aiden and he both looked at each other, looked back at the duo, thanked them, and sprinted off into the water.

“Where’d you get those?” Anastasia skeptically asked.

“Part of the job.” He shrugged. “Let’s get out of here?”

“Yeah.” The two took one more look at the extreme carnage, and casted a teleport. As they landed in the square of Falador, they couldn’t help but to notice the squid was exhausted looking. “What a lazy familiar.” Anastasia laughed. The Overlord began swearing to itself, but it was all just a foreign language to the two humans.
