They were surprised to see lots of violence taking place outside the walls as well, and because of this were forced to keep running instead of slowing to catch their breath as they originally planned. Small groups of goblins along with bands of bandits and handfuls of citizens were busy battling with the undead legions, though it was entirely fruitless efforts, and soon they were all fleeing or dead. The River Lum was in sight, a small bridge and a thatched roof village surrounded by a wooden wall was in sight. They were almost to their goal.

“Raaagh!” a warcry sounded as an undead creature leapt from a tree and sprinted at an impressive speed towards Lowe. He put an arrow in it’s chest, and it collapsed dead. A sharp screech took him off guard as another tackled him from behind, he rolled over and began fighting with it on the ground. The others were also busy fighting off these fast moving and agile assassins. Some of them fought bare-handed, others were armed with whatever they happened to find laying on the ground. This included swords, axes, tree branches, and any number of random objects you may find on the ground in a war torn city.

Lowe punched it in the face, but was jabbed in the ribs by his attackers fist almost at the same time. Zaff destroyed one with a blast of fire, and then smashed Lowe’s attacker across the face with his staff. A man in worn and weathered red faded armor stabbed it through the stomach with his large two handed sword while it was on the ground. Zaff helped Lowe up, “Thank you.” Zaff said patting the man on the back.

“Where are you headed?” he asked as he beheaded another zombie with a skillful blow. Caden reamed another through on his sword.

Barbarian Village, it’s right up a head.” Caden informed him. Aiden split the skull of the last attacker and they resumed running, but noticed the man they had assisted them was keeping up pace. As the reached the wooden bridge over the River Lum that lead into the village, they noticed a few things. Lowe saw frantic people in large numbers heading for the bridge, but mixed in with them was rage fueled zombies. He carefully tried to pick out the threats. One arrow struck a woman, he cursed and nervously put away his weapon and continued over the bridge.

A thunderously loud battle cry roared from a head, as a huge barbarian chieftain and much of the population of the village emerged from inside their walls to engage in combat. At the same time a new sloth of undead began pulling themselves from out of the river itself. The huge Chief fought with a club and spear, and did so with a certain gracefulness considering he resembled a bear in human form. Most of the terrified citizens made it inside the village unharmed, though a few were mistakenly killed or injured in the heat of the raging battle.

At least several hundred fighters from both sides began butchering each other on the bridge, and even in the shallows of the river. Aiden and Caden took up post on the bridge, where enemies were funneled right to them on a narrow passage. Slashing and chopping through the rotted attackers, Caden glanced over to notice Lowe shooting off arrows at a very rapid pace, only missing one out of every three or four shots. Zaff had disappeared, he wasn’t much of a warrior so it wasn’t surprising. The man in battered armor was with several barbarian squads fighting hard against the invaders.

“Lowe, Lowe!” Zaff reappeared from inside the village.

“Yes Zaff?” he replied, as he released another arrow. Zaff snapped back into reality and sent off a few bolts of magic to assist the warriors.

“Azura, she’s gone!”

“What?!” Lowe panicked, there was no way she could be dead, he couldn’t live with that guilt. He scanned the battlefield for young beautiful corpses, and sighed with relief when none were spotted.

“We’ll find her.” he said, placing a hand on Zaff’s shoulder.

“Fire arrows now!* the huge chief roared, and it looked as if it was raining fire briefly. The barrage of arrows from the skilled hunters did*’t stop, and soon the undead forces were called away by an unknown force. The human forces waited quietly for something terrible to happen, but nothing did. The chief began dragging the corpses into a pile from both sides of the encounter, and soon they had a fire raging to burn off the potentially hazardous waste. The grim work continued, but the chief had other matters to attend to. All but a few of his soldiers tasked with body burning had gone inside the walls.

He glanced through his village, every where he looked he saw unfamiliar clothes and faces. He saw a pair of men who appeared to be important, as they were large and armored.

“What is going on?” he asked Caden.

“I don’t know, the dead started walking an-”

“Haha! I knew that much, but I want to know why you are here?”

“Varrock has been overrun.” Aiden shrugged.

“Ahahaha!” he stuck his spear in the ground “Modern weapons and god forsaking magic couldn’t save you?” he smirked and waited for their response.

“Ahaha” Caden sarcastically laughed.

*I don’t know what happened, I did*’t even see any soldiers or guards any where when the attack started.”

“Azura is missing.” Lowe said, interrupting the conversation.

“What!?” the two shot up from sitting on the ground.

“Little man!” the chief poked Lowe’s chest “what happened to your city?”

“Guards suck, zombies are angry. That’s about all I know.” he sighed.

The chief did*’t like all the confusion and chaos, he was going to have to do something about all these refuges, but what? He rounded up several of his men and informed them what to do. Sections of the village were chosen for the refuges to sleep and live in, and after blankets, spare clothing, and buckets of water had been moved to those areas, the chief stood on a large piece of fire wood and began directing the refuges to those locations. This took several hours and it was late afternoon before the group managed to locate each other again. Most refuges were content where they were, they’d just wait for the government of Varrock to recover, and they’d send help after they solved all the problems.

Conversation began around a fire to pass the time “So what’s your name?”

“Moric.”

“Alright, I’m Lowe, this is Caden, Aiden, and Zaff.” he shook hands with him.

“Alright, you just meet each other recently, or what?”

“Nah” Aiden began.

“We’ve known each other for a few years.” Caden finished.

“Right, so you all escaped together. Ex military, or something?” Lowe laughed.

“No, we’re just part time trouble makers.”

“And I’m a full time shop keep.” Zaff said with a smirk.

“I’m a mercenary myself, ironically came to Varrock to see if any military operations were in the works that I could assist in. Too bad the whole place went to hell as soon as I showed up.”

“Mercenary?” A slim yet muscular barbarian woman asked.

“Yes?”

“Go speak with Chief Eckhard.”

“Why?” Lowe asked curiously.

She looked at him for a brief minute, before deciding he looked like a capable warrior “He spoke of needing strong fighters.” Lowe stood up, Moric as well.

“I’m too old for fighting.” Zaff waved his hand. The twins decided the least they could do was assist the leader of the village they were hiding in, in the defense of this place. He was a towering and heavy man, with long dread-locked hair and a permanent scowl on his face. The butch looking woman lead them across the village, all the way into the massive longhall, which was surprisingly quiet. Inside he sat at the end of the table, with a strapping young man on one side, and an empty chair on the other. He seemed to be discussing battle tactics and strategies as he was moving around small warrior figurines on the map that lay before him.

“What is it love?” he said as she entered the longhall.

“First men that volunteered to help.” she said as the distinctly not-barbarian men entered the hall.

“You can help me.” he said with his strong voice.

“Alright, I’m a damn good shot, and I b-”

“I need people who know what the city of Varrock is like, where the weak points of entrance are. I need insiders.” he motioned for them to sit down with him. The woman took the seat to his left.

“This is my son Zorn.” he pointed at the man wearing a bear’s head and little else beside’s a simple cloth to cover him “And my daughter Liebe.” he pointed to the woman who had just sat beside him. She wasn’t very pretty, but looked very capable of doing anything a man could. They stood around the table, and began to answer the huge chiefs questions about the city.

Else where...

Anastasia hadn’t gone outside all day, she had spent most of her time waiting for the sky to fall, but other than a relatively eerie fog that engulfed the entire place, not much was happening.

“Ana, you hear me?” she was a little surprised to hear Lowe’s voice.

“Yes?”

“Varrock has been overrun with undead, me and everyone except Azura, Forrest, Ko, and you are hiding out in the Barbarian Village trying to plan some counter attacks with the Chief here.”

She sat utterly flabbergasted for several seconds.

“We need some specialized help, but I’m busy, you think you could locate Forrest for me? And if you have any summoning pouches laying around, those would probably help.”

“I uh.. I’ll get on it.” she ended the conversation and slung her emergency kit over her shoulder. Now where would Forrest be?

Varrock Palace, nightfall.

The take over had confused many of the gang members, everything went according to plan and unfolded smoothly. Now all they had to do was keep the gates closed until their job was done. Tables were set up, and games of cards were played to help pass the time, along with mass looting, and some even decided to smash windows and destroy things for fun.

But now night had settled, and most of the gang were content just eating and drinking to kill time. To assure no prisoners escaped, they kept the Palace gate shut and locked with a few groups of prisoners in the courtyard, about a hundred people in total. A group of ten undead were positioned to watch after them.

They had their arms firmly tied together behind their backs, and not to mention the entire city was in a lock down, it was a hopeless situation. And to make matters worse, they were only scheduled to

eat every two days. Strolling into the courtyard laughing and with a cup of wine in his hand, Elder had planned on enjoying the fresh night air, and also to assure that none of his valuable prisoners were going to die. He had learned a person cannot go more than three days without water or they will die, so he intended to let them drink once in the morning, and once at night. Four masked men holding small cauldrons and with a ladle began to give the hostages their evening drink. They simply walked over to the person, took a ladle of water from the cauldron, and then held it to their lips so they could drink, and then moved on to the next person.

Elder wore a smile as he sipped from his glass and slowly walked around to examine his prisoners. He’d stop every now and again to feel their faces, or touch their stomachs, mostly just trying to make them feel uncomfortable.

“I heard ghosts can’t do anything during day time.” Dief whispered to Truand and a few other gang members.

“I’ve shook his hand, he inn’t a ghost.” Truand began to light a cigarette.

“Aight, some trolls turn to stone durin’ daytime, and he does have weird skin like a troll.”

“Maybe he’s a half troll?” one member suggested. Some prisoners over heard them talking.

“What else?” Truand asked, he was genuinely interested in finding out what Elder could be as well. He had never put forth any theories of his own, but he had discussed it before, but no one brought up the fact he seemed to avoid sunlight if possible.

“He could have some kind of disease that makes him sensitive to sunlight.” another member took a guess.

“Vampire!” Dief suddenly shouted.

“That’s freaking it! That’s gotta be it!” Truand agreed “Notice how he hears real real good, and how he’s fast with reactions, ever seen his teeth? I swear they’re too big for a human mouth.”

“Vampire?” the young man next to Azura thought to himself, he began to construct a plan. He glanced around, the man next to him was asleep, and the girl he talked to earlier was looking terrified next to him. “So, what’s your name?” he quietly whispered to avoid the menacing hooded man walking about the courtyard’s attention.

“A-Azura.” she seemed a little out of things, she had dark circles under her eyes.

“I’m Johnny, not exactly a unique name, but hey I like it.” he tried to get her to laugh, but it failed. He thought for a few minutes, he was too much of a kind hearted person to be comfortable next to a person that was starting to appear paranoid, and panicked. “So you know the worst thing you can do in situations like this is loose your cool, you just need to relax,” he tried to think of a convincing reason why she should stay calm in a scenario like this one “you’re starting to look bad, big circles under your eyes.” he nearly facepalmed after he thought about what he said, but his hands were tied.
“Oh,” she giggled “I haven’t slept well in the past week,” she noticed he looked embarrassed *Thanks for your concerns though!”

“Of course.. I can** stand to see a person feeling down.” the two smiled at each other, and tried to move a little closer to one another.

“Don’t you like how romance can stir up in any situation?” Elder was crouched between them both.

“Ahh!” Azura shouted, as Johnny gasped and moved backwards a bit. At that moment Elder’s new mistress walked into the courtyard for fresh air, just as he had.

“Speaking of which...” he stood and walked away to his newly discovered joy in life. He thought it was impossibly good luck he managed to find a lover at the same time his God returned to Gielinor.

“How’d he do that?” Johnny angrily questioned everyone around him, he got no replied for a few moments.

“He’s like a snake...” Azura sighed “Did you see those laces that held his hood in place?”

“Err... yeah?” he did*’t understand why she would care about that of all things.

“They’re enchanted, I don’t know what they might do though.” Johnny wondered if he could teleport short distances with them, or maybe cast spells... and then it dawned on him.
