Tash leaned forward supporting his body with his arms behind him. "So like I asked before, how'd you get all the way out here?" a cold tone masked his voice.
A soft breeze flew over the camp as Magenta sat down in the dirt. Her eyes scanned over the nearby friend of hers. He had grown a great deal since the last time they had met, but it was not only his body that had grown, the aura of loneliness he had was much larger as well.
"It was my father's fault of course," Magenta hesitated, "well, I guess that's sort of a lie. Lately my father has been experimenting in teleportation magic. He's developed some theories about which runes would lead where, but he's been cautious with testing them. I on the other hand decided to be adventurous, and it must've been somewhere around a week ago that I picked up some runes that his notes claimed would teleport in the Varrock region, two fires and two laws to be exact. If I ever make it back I'll be able to tell him he was wrong, seeing as I ended up off in the mountains to the east somewhere, and from there I was captured by a mob of trolls. Those cursed beasts kept me locked in a cage planning to cook me in a stew. Luckily I broke out of their wretched den, and then after being chased for a while, I ended up out here."
The boy sighed while letting his arms slip forward and his body fall back onto the ground. "That man, Tash, from back when we were kids told me that if I ever wanted to find him he'd be in the west. That was the first thing I did once he disappeared, along with you. Getting from Varrock to Falador alone was hard enough, then making it through the mountains, infested with wolves, after getting past there I didn't think I could go much farther, so I settled down out here and started taking odd jobs related to magic to both harden my skills and keep a look out for Tash."
"And you still never got a name?" asked Magenta.

"No," answered the boy, "I obtained a name, Tash, the name of the man who took my one true friend away from me, and drove away the potential of getting a new one. I took his name so that I would never forget it."
Magenta scooted closer to Tash. "I remember, you said you could talk to your cat. Did he kill Daskal back after I ran away?"
Tash stood up. The tent flap waved open as he entered and moved towards the back to retrieve something. He exited with a white bladed sword in his hands. "This is Daskal." He sat back down with his sword held out in front of him pointing into the sky.
Magenta moved in closer to look over the sword. Its orange hilt, the furry handle, the gleaming white blade, and the D signed into the orange paw-like pommel. She was awestruck and frightened at the same time. The power to change living beings into mere objects existed in this world, and was in the hands of a mage bent on world domination.
"As for your original question as to whether or not you can spend the night," Tash paused to look away from the girl, "you're welcome to stay."
While smiling, Magenta leaned over to hug the boy, which managed to catch him off guard. They stayed like that for a few moments until the girl whispered into his ear, "What're you not telling me?"
Tash broke the calming embrace. "What're you talking about? I'm allowing you to stay for the night, there's nothing behind it." He turned his back to her. "You should be getting to sleep anyway. It's gotten rather late."
"Won't you be joining me?"
"Wha...What're you talking about? There's only one bed in there!"
"Then where do you plan to sleep?"
"I'll stay outside or something!"
"That's ridiculous!" Magenta pounced onto Tash pushing him into the dirt. "C'mon, it’ll be fun. Nothing's gonna' happen, I just can't imagine you outside freezing all night long."
The deal was struck and Tash realized that he had lost, so into the tent he followed with a defeated walk. The night felt like it would be a long one.

Well, you've certainly taken Magenta's character in an interesting direction...
Now I'm wondering how she fights, as I forgot if she ever even did get involved in a battle, information which I'm far too lazy to search for myself, as well as what effects its once being living will have on the properties of Daskal the Sword.
...Oh, and yes, you are a horrible person for letting it be more than a month :)

Yeah, I wrote more, because I'm just that amazing. And Magenta has had some combat, she shot a ball of magic at the ruffians in Varrock back before the time skip, and she was also fighting against the troll before Tash saved her.

Dawn crept into the encampment with a faint stream of light. The flap on the entrance moved forward as Tash crawled out strung up with his sword, axe, and a few rune pouches. He brushed himself off as he stood up and stretched. While shielding his eyes from the sun he spun his torso around to look back at the tent.
"Sorry, Magenta, we just found each other again, but now I need to leave already," whispered Tash before stretching once more. He took off down his well trampled path heading south to begin his long walk to the grand city of Ardougne.
Early morning in Seer's Village was a site to behold. The sun humbly lit up all of the little buildings from over the mountains in the distance. The grass glistened in dew. The only noises to disturb the scene were the soft chirping sounds from the birds making their way through the sky. The local blacksmith house was currently un-owned and produced no smoke. The citizens all had nowhere to be this time of the day. Tash was the only one making any sort of commotion in the entire village.
The lack of activity made it a quiet and quick walk through the single road leading from Catherby down on the waterfront to the route leading through the woods towards Hemenster and eventually Ardougne. On foot, the travel would take half a day or more with a short stop in the small settlement of Hemenster.
Tash clasped his hands together behind his head and let out a yawn. "I planned to leave around noon, but of course then I would've had to do something with Magenta if she had woken up." His head turned back north looking past Seer's Village and the forest to the rough area of where his camp would be. "I just hope she doesn't get too mad at me for leaving her like that. Then again she did abandon me when I really could've used her. Daskal taken from me in an instant, now I can't even hear him anymore, and then she just took off as fast as he was taken from me." He lifted his right hand over the back of his head to rub his eyes.
