“What’s a matter, Kopf?” Anjel attempted to enrage him “You fight like a woman you know it? I haven’t seen you do a single courageous thing this entire fight, nay... the entire time you’ve been here in Varrock.”

“Go to Hell!” Kopf replied, slicing upwards with his sword. Anjel stepped out of the way and tried to stab at his hip area, but his sword was smashed to the side, and Kopf stepped inward to slam his elbow across the smaller man’s jaw. Anjel could taste blood, and his jaw was throbbing, but he had no time to check on his wound.

Kopf stabbed downward at his hated foe, but Anjel smiled victoriously. He rolled out of the way, “You lose!” he declared loudly, his teeth were covered in his own blood as he smiled so surely. Kopf would miss no opportunity to end the man who had followed him for so many years now. He lifted his sword to swing, but suddenly felt an overwhelming pain in his back.

“Sorry partner.” Forrest said with a smug giggle. Kopf felt warm blood when he felt his wound.

“You..” he breathed deeply and slowly as he stumbled towards Anjel “you always were a coward.” were his dying words.

“Coward or not, looks like I win,” Forrest and he exchanged wide smiles, and shook hands briefly.

“Aaaaaargh!” Elder smashed his foot into Anjel’s back, he flew forward and face first into the stone roof. Forrest was taken off guard by the admittedly scary looking man, and he timidly swung his axe in surprise and confusion. Tuflos cracked him in the nose with the knuckles on the claws.

“Got-damn!” he said in surprise, he was almost sure his nose was broken. He leapt to his feat, and quickly picked up weapon back up. A knight and another barbarian rushed to assist in slaying the blind man, but were killed by throat gouging before they even had a chance to react.

“Tonight, I will make things even between us.”

On the ground...

“Arrrrrgh!” they shouted as they smashed open the front gate, Moric sprinted forward more quickly than the rest, and dived headlong into the awaiting undead ranks. Limbs and heads went flying and very soon Aiden and Caden were joining him, along with the fierce barbarian nobility.

“The Palace is where we’re headed!” Caden shouted loudly.

“We just have to cut these things down!” Aiden declared.

“Come on, let’s go!” Moric was starting to feel more comfortable fighting beside the huge brothers, but he still did*’t want to relax too much, should they become hungry.

On the roof...

“Look...” Azura whispered to Johnny. They were crouched behind the ranks of fighting warriors “is that the man Elder was talking about?” she pointed at Anjel as they dueled with pure, simple, and completely untamable hatred fueling them.

“He’s got the white clothes and necklace...” he rubbed his eye, the swelling was gone but it was still black and sore “course my eyes could be lying.”

“So this means the people rescuing us, are the same ones who Elder called extremists.”

“They’re both extremists... I don’t know who to root for anymore.” Johnny sounded confused.

Anastasia ran to the Altar, weapons drawn. It was time to finish off the last leader and be done with this. Ko suddenly leapt from the crowd, he looked a little sad, but very determined.

“I am afraid I cannot let you go any further.” he announced slowly.

“Ko?” Lowe asked.

“Where have you been?” Anastasia couldn’t wait for the answer.

“Here, leading my cult.” he slowly began to remove a simple sword from its black sheath.
Anastasia had no more questions, all that stood before her, was another enemy which needed to be killed. Ko was confused, she was very quick to attack him after all they had done together. Lowe was eager to attack the competition for his love’s heart. Ko tried to fight them both, but was less skilled in the art of swords fighting. Anastasia hit him in the jaw with the pommel of her sword, and he was now angry and determined to even the odds. He pulled a pouch from his cloak and opened it.
The odd enemy that was summoned forth from another realm to kill Lowe, was a human like creature that lacked a mouth and hair. It had gray skin, and it’s hands were like the claws of a demon. Other than that it was what your typical six foot tall, unclothed man looked like.

Forrest quickly ran towards it from behind as Lowe and the creature went back and forth with their fighting. A strong blast of water knocked him off his feat. He stood to see Kopf’s body being used by Overlord. “Woo-hoo.” he said sarcastically as he ran forward to attempt killing the new threat. Kopf’s body wasn’t holding his sword, but was relying on magic instead to do all his fighting. But Forrest was very swift, and a difficult target to land a hit on.

Lowe narrowly dodged a swipe from it’s large claws, and stabbed into the creatures thigh. It only bled slowly for a moment or two, it’s blood appeared to be mostly congealed. One on one, Ko was more confident in his abilities, even if his enemy was taller than himself. She swung overhead, and he easily blocked the blow, and then sliced at her upper thigh, cutting her black hide but not causing any further damage. She stepped forward and then sliced towards his throat. He blocked the attack, but wasn’t sure how he felt about her actively trying to kill him.

“Did our relationship mean nothing to you?” he curiously asked her. She thought for a few seconds as they continually fought.

“It did, but time passes, things change.” she swiped her fist towards his jaw, he managed to catch her by the wrist, and smash his hilt into her ribs. She let out a low moan of pain and stepped back. Sensing her moment of weakness, he pressed forward, but fell into a trap. He found himself suddenly laying on his back. Grabbing her sword handle with both hands, she brought the blade downward with great force. He managed to roll slightly and avoid the attack, but he was still pinned by his cloak which was impaled by the attack, and her sword was stuck in the roof.

“All those nights in bed?” he smirked, she did*’t seem to like that question. She yanked her sword free and took another swing at him.

“They were fun, yes... but as I said; times change.” her next flurry of attacks were more tenacious and difficult to defend against. He found himself taking several steps back, ending up mere feet from Elder and Anjel as they furiously battled. Anjel appeared to be uncertain of the outcome of this fight.

Forrest grinned as he managed to roll to avoid a blast of fire, and then leap forward and cleanly chop off the head of the possessed body. It fell to the ground, but the Overlord leapt from that body to a running man. “That’s cheatin’!” Forrest shouted as he realized he had to kill the Overlord, not the puppet it was using.

“I just noticed something.” Azura whispered to Johnny

“What is it this time?”
“It’s the bowl of blood, it’s near full. And that glowing eye statue thing is pointing at it, do you think it means something?”

“Maybe? You’re supposed to be smart in these things, not me.” she did*’t want to say something and then be wrong, but she had a strong feeling this was some kind of offering. Would it be triggered by the last drop of blood?

“Well we can’t let him finish filling the bowl,” she stood up, feeling courageous “we have to go help!” Johnny sighed, and picked up a mace from the ground. It was barely two pounds, made of some kind of lightweight blue metal. It was also completely without spikes, being a simple orb on the end of a two foot long, ash handle.

As they plunged into the hectic battle, a ratty looking man instantly attacked Johnny. But he was armed and feeling much braver than previously, and simply smashed the mace across the man’s jaw. It wasn’t a fatal blow, but it left the attacker unconscious and bleeding on the ground. Azura blasted away another attacker with a thin steam of white energy, but she noticed something this time. It was tiring to cast magic without runes, she began breathing more heavily as they attempted to reach the golden bowl.

“I’m gonna smash him over the head.” Johnny declared firmly, as he eyed Elder and Anjel dueling.

“Okay, you do that... I’ll tip over the blood, and his plans will be ruined.”

Forrest had it all figured out, he quickly sliced off the head of the new body the Overlord was controlling, but as it leapt through the air towards a new host, he realized this was the only chance he had at an easy kill. He quickly removed his knife, and tossed it with all his might. He closed one eye and grimaced. The sound of flesh being punctured by metal, was like beautiful music being played by angelic figures. The Overlord had been slain by a simple piece of sharpened steel.

“Hang in there Lowe!” Forrest called, as he began fighting through cultists to assist his friend.

“Look! Look! It’s Lowe... go help him okay? I don’t want him to get hurt fighting that... thing.” Johnny sighed, he wanted his revenge on Tuflos, and if he was dead... his sister couldn’t leave him behind again.

“He’s the guy with the eyepatch? Alright, I’m on it...” he ran quickly. Near the Altar little combat was taking place, there was too many cultists forming a shield to reach it easily. But Lowe was beginning to force the demon man closer to the Altar. At the same time Anastasia and her ex lover were beginning to draw closer to that location as well.

“Fight me like a man, for once in your pathetic life.” Tuflos growled as he found himself having to chase Anjel around the Altar again. He was a skilled fighter, who practiced often. Though when it came to one on one in actual dangerous situations, he was much less potent. Anjel was armed with a sword, with a much greater length advantage than his opponents claws, but even so Tuflos was quick and agile; one mistake and you’d be a gagging, throat-less victim before you could blink.

Anjel slashed out at him, but managed to slip on a patch of slippery crimson liquid. Elder grinned showing his large teeth and slid his claws gently across his hated enemies face. Anjel shrieked in pain, but managed to slice Tuflos’ prized jacket with the very tip of his blade.

Lowe had stabbed the demonic man thrice in the stomach, twice in the chest, but he refused to slow. He repeatedly attacked towards it’s head; but it was always quick enough to deflect blows to it’s cranium.

Lowe finally lunged forward with both hands, and just as his sword began to pierce through the face of his enemy, a hatchet and mace slammed into either side of his head. Smashing it into a pulp instantly.

“Whoa there.” Forrest was a little surprised.

“Azura told me to help you, you’re Lowe right?” he tried to look tough and strong around the two older men.

“Yeah, thanks,” Lowe tossed the sword to the ground, and took aim with his bow. He was trying to land a shot on Elder, but he and Anjel dancing around each other made that a little tricky.

“What do we do now?* Johnny asked, as he stood awkwardly.

“You jus’ stick with me awright? We’s gonna help out Anastasia.” his thick accent was almost impossible to understand, but he followed anyway.

Forrest sprinted more quickly than John thought should’ve been possible. He leapt through the air and tackled Ko into the ground, the force of the hit knocked the sword from his hand. Ko quickly regained his senses and began smashing his fist into Forrest’s face. Anastasia kicked him across the head, and Forrest quickly turned him over and managed to hold the weaker man’s arms behind his back. Forrest stood him up, but his strong arms acted like handcuffs.

“We wait for Anjel to finish Elder, we go home afterwards.” she said with a smile, she had more vodka stored at home; plus she wanted a chance to clean all the blood and dirt from herself.

The battle was almost over, the Cultists were on their last leg. The warriors were demoralized and facing much stronger foes, and their number advantage was gone.

“That Azura?” Forrest wondered aloud, as he fought with Ko to keep him restrained.

“What she doing?” Anastasia sighed, placing her palm on her forehead.

“She’s tipping over the bowl of blood up there,” Johnny started to explain “That guy up there in the black hood is named Tuflos, most people call him Elder though,” he thought carefully over the events that had happened “We saw him chant and offer sacrifices by beheading, and the wind started to blow really hard. So we think the blood might do something terrible.”

Lowe, why not just shoot him?” Anastasia suggested.

“I am, just as soon as they stop moving.” Forrest laughed a little, Johnny shifted nervously.

Elder moved before the Altar, with Anjel standing in front of him, Lowe realized this was his shot. Tuflos furiously slashed at the tiring knight, who could barely keep pace with him. He was breathing hard, and was for the first time tonight beginning to fear for his life. Where were those goddamn adventurers who were supposed to be so elite, and helpful?

Lowe let the steel tipped arrow soar through the air. Anjel noticed his nemesis’s ear twitch under his hood. He quickly bent down in a kneeling fashion before Anjel. He did*’t have time to be confused as the arrow appeared, lodged in his sword arm. He shouted in agony, and dropped his weapon. Elder grinned and pulled the hood from over his head.

“Damn!” Lowe said under his breath.

“I have waited so patiently for this,” Elder forced the defeated man up to the Altar “You!” he barked, Azura was creeping up the opposite side of the place of worship

“Aieee!” she shrieked. She was both terrified and determined. She reached forward, her hand was almost to the bowl, just one good shove... She let out a moan of pain and rubbed her jaw. Elder had leapt with inhuman strength and sent his boot directly into her face.

“Finish it!” Ko screamed to his friend. Using the enchanted laces, he could tell Azura was in the fetal position. He spat and walked briskly back to the Altar. Another arrow whizzed past him, he only barely managed to dodge it, he had to finish it before it was too late.

He grabbed Anjel, and held him over the bowl, though instead of tearing his throat out, he had other plans. He carefully inserted the claws attached to his index, and middle finger, along with his thumb into Anjel’s eye. He tore them out one at a time, and dropped them carefully into the bowl, so it would not splash. He felt a strong pressure in his left shoulder, he realized an arrow had bounced off him. Lowe fired another two arrows, both of which merely bounced off the Cult leader.

Anastasia sliced her blade across his neck, but her sword chipped upon contact with him. “What are you!?” she shouted in frustration, how could he kick a young girl across the jaw? Even for a cult leader, that was a lowly move. Forrest tied Ko’s hands together behind his back, and rushed to assist Azura. Lowe right behind him.

“I am mortal as are you.” he waved his hand in a dismissive manner. Anjel was sobbing on the ground as he gripped his bleeding sockets. Elder began chanting loudly, and what was left of his cult gathered up near him. There was only fifteen of them left, the others had been slain. The remaining thirty, odd knights, barbarians and Divine Ones surrounded the Altar, and stood in a defensive manner as they watched in confusion as arrows, and swords bounced from the man in charge of this freak show.

The blood began to spiral upwards out of the golden bowl, and disappearing into a swirling vortex of blackness from above. The statue began to glow a blinding, pale blue light. The Overlords slithered from their hiding spots, and began holding crystals high in the air. Azura was able to tell which one Anastasia had kept for a pet, it held the bright red gem. They began to glow before turning to dust and mixing with the blood. The statue began to shake and crack, and as Anjel’s eyes finally were warped away into the vortex, everything went still.

And then a burst of blue energy exploded from the statue, and an oppressive, thick aura filled the area. Anastasia, and Azura were propelled backwards by an unknown force. They landed painfully on their backs. Lowe and Forrest were next, followed by Johnny. Another burst of energy knocked the soldiers off their feet. The extinguished torches were re-kindled by a flurry of fire spells. Tuflos and Ko were kneeling on one knee, on either side of the Altar. Tuflos had removed his hood in respect of their forgotten God. Between them stood an unusually tall man. He was no shorter than seven feet, and wore a loosely fitting black robe, though to call it black would be an understatement. It was utterly void of any color, and light seemed to diminish when making contact with it.

His face was concealed by blackness, a swirling cloud of dark mist seemed to swirl around his entire body, and some hovered directly in his face.

“I must leave now,* Anastasia heard a voice ring in her mind, glancing down to her feet, she was not startled to see the Overlord sitting next to her “We may meet again, fate is unpredictable.” his voice was different, it seemed to be manlier rather than gender less.

“We had good times, would be nice to have more, but if not... Oh well.” she leaned down, and pet him over the head once, and then she resumed her stance, bow and arrow in hand, ready for anything. He slowly hovered towards the overwhelmingly dreadful appearing deity. Many of the Overlords had been smitten, there remained ten. The massive man leaned down, and closely inspected them all. And then he raised his arms in the air, a tremendous stream of faintly blue energy spewed from his hands. The remaining twenty prisoners watched on in horror, would they be rescued or was this the end?
