Well, last night, after I finished what I needed to be doing, I went to the gym for a while. I got home fairly late, and basically just checked a few things then went to sleep. Tonight, however, I don't plan on working, so I will continue tonight.

Jay sighed. "What a surprise. Where would you suggest we start looking?"
Atery fumbled with his chin, deep in thought. "Well, we have a few options. But, all of them lead in an unfortunate direction. Only one person in the game has it, and he would never give it to me."
Undershadow looked to Atery. "What would you have us do?
Atery looked down, deep in thought. "Unfortunately, it seems my time has come. Jay, only a few know you are with the Golden Blades. You must go to the Black Hierarchy and use my name as a bargaining chip for the pass word."
"Your name? But surely he would ban you? Or delete you?"
Atery nodded. "Just a casualty of war. I've already lived through more than my share of battles."
Undershadow was in shock. "Then, what is to become of the Golden Blades?"
"You are to take over leadership, Undershadow."
"Me...?"
Atery stared him in the eye. "Yes. You are to lead the remnants of the clan, as they will not know the difference between us once I am gone. Just keep your name concealed. I'll teach you all the tricks of the trade while Jay is gone."
Jay didn't like the idea. "So, I'm to simply go right up to the Black Hierarchy leader, and tell him your name for the pass word?"
Atery nodded.
Jay thought it over. "One problem. Where can I find this leader?"

Hours later....

Timmins and John sat on the stone wall that enclosed White City.
"So, John, what's our move?"
John looked intently toward the horizon. "You said there was a problem with opening any of the vials? A pass word was required?"
Timmins nodded.
"Then, we need to find the pass word before they do, and destroy it. If we aren't able to open it, they won't be able to either."
Timmins nodded slowly. "And how are we to do that?"
John grinned. "I have contacts. Many contacts."

The last stair creaked as Jay ascended the staircase. For a moment, he still could see nothing. Then, suddenly, the room lit with a firey glow. On the opposite side of the glowing aura was a red-cloaked man.
Jay approached him intently.
The man nodded slowly at Jay. "My agents tell me you wish to bargain with me over some piece of information?"
Jay nodded.
"Explain."
Jay looked cooly into the mans eyes, making sure to maintain eye contact. "I have the name of the man who currently leads the Golden Blades, and the second in command."
The man shook his head. "Impossible, I'm sure. What would you want for such an epic piece of information, anyways?"
"I have heard tales of a legendary pass word to an ancient program. I would like the pass word."
The man smiled from under his hood. "Jay, I'm sorry to tell you, but this pass word does not exist. It is a fairytale. I have seen the temple that houses it myself, and it is surely nonexistant."
Jay shrugged. "You tell me the location of the temple that is said to have it, then. I have heard from reliable sources it exists."
The man put his fingers together in the shape of a steeple. "Jay, let me explain the purpose of this clan. We started to protect ourselves, and Runescape from the evils of the Golden Blades."
"I'm really just interested in..."
"No, no. You must hear this. The Golden Blades, for years, have sought a program that once nearly ended this game. This game, however, stands for too much. In our war torn world, this is the last refuge of the hopeless. We vowed to stop them from ever acquiring this program. So, we managed to find its hiding spot and imbed it with a pass word. However, it is of my knowledge that this pass word was made to never be solved. So, they created an error within the program itself to prevent it from ever opening, due to it asking for a pass word that never existed,"

jay sighed. "I sort of follow, I guess. But why are you telling me this?"
The man shrugged slowly. "I know much, Jay. I know you are sided with everyone, and know everyone's point of view. Now, you know mine. We are not the enemy, we are the last light in a steadily darkening world."
Jay was questioning himself, now. Which side was he really on? He used to think he was a "good guy" when he was with the mods, then thought he was doing the "right thing" by helping Atery.
The man looked intently at Jay. "Jay, I assure you there is a far greater conspiracy behind the Golden Bldes asking for your assistance. Their 'Leader' seeks to destroy the game, and does not care who he hurts in the process. I'm sure with this knowledge more will become clear to you. They probably sent you here to get the pass word to the program. They will open it, and use it, not seal it. Surely you see this?"
Actually, Jay thought that this did make a little sense. Everyone wanted the program, yet Atery did seem quite intent on recovering it and the pass word immediately...
"Look, Jay. I'm sure you will put that information to good use. Here's the deal. You give me the name, I tell you where the pass word is 'rumored' to be. But, keep the pass word for yourself, and make your own choices. Don't let others guide you. Anyone else you share it with is a liability. Understand?"
Jay nodded slowly. "Atery. That is the name."
The man grinned, and scribbled something down. "The temple containing the pass word is the Church of Lumbridge. There will be four challenges to finding the pass word."
Jay asked, "I've been there many times, and never found anything out of the ordinary. How do I figure out where to start?"
"That, my friend, is the first challenge."


From the shadowy corner of the room, Scyne grinned. He then teleported immediately to Lumbridge.
