I'm really sorry for not replying, our internet was knocked out for 4 days due to a hurricane hitting where I live. I'm going to continue the story right now and it's wonderful to hear from both of you. I'm so excited to actually continue this. Blackriku, one question, do you want to change your character's name? I'm just wondering, truthfully I think it would change so much... but still I have to ask :P time to continue!

Chapter II-
A New Name and New Home

Ten minutes passed and Hyro stood in the middle of a circle of bodies. None could get close enough to even try and strike him. Hyro was calm, breathing normally, just now beginning to break a sweat. He took the paused enemy attack to look around, he sighed as soon as he laid eyes on his once grand army. The Black Knights lay all over the castle, their bodies ripped apart by White Knight swords accompanied by battle cries that rocked the castle. Hyro knew it was over, for now. He had to escape, he could fight for much longer but it was just a matter of time until someone got lucky. He ran to the left and quickly sliced a White Knight's head off and shoved the body forward with his leg. He took another step and jumped off the body getting enough air to jump over the small line that was formed to keep him encircled. He landed and quickly rolled forward and jumped up. He was heading towards the gates which were straight ahead.

Everything till this moment, for Hyro, seemed to be going well. The bad guy was escaping, the whole White Knight army ran after him with the words "Kill him!" or "Don't let him get away!". Hyro turned to look behind him and he had an evil grin, which was suddenly replaced with a look of shock. Little Riku lay on the ground in the midst of battle unharmed. Hyro shook his head and turned back towards the gate. He took one step forward and suddenly froze in his tracks. He made no movement, he just fell to the ground in the same position. Everyone stared at him confused and afraid of some trick. A big robed magician stepped forward out of the chaos of battle.

"Hyro... has fallen!" A few seconds passed as the words sinked in. Everyone began to shout cries of victory and happiness, their hell had ended. They began to count the dead and finish so they could celebrate back in Falador. "Lord Alexander!" A young knight walked up to the commander with a folded blanket in his arms. "I found a... baby... and a note."

Chapter II-
A New Name and New Home

Alexander took the baby in his arms and read the note. He grinned. "So this is the son of Iban. Saradomin has had much fortune on us this day." Alexander turned and called over the lieutenant. "Give me the reports of battle, I will bring them to the king himself. Today, we celebrate victory!"

A few days passed, victory was celebrated in many different ways among the people of Falador. The Black Knights were taken out, no one seemed to be against the White Knights anymore. Hyro was frozen with a class 5 spell only a magician like Alexander could perform, he would never be unfrozen again and he would stand trial for his murderous campaigns in the future.

Knock, knock, knock. "Who is it?" Asked the one behind the door.

"Why who else old friend but the current hero of Falador, Alexander himself."

"Alexander!" The door flew open and Alexander walked in. "To what do I owe for this magnificent surprise?"

"Actually Grashaa, I have a dilemma." He took a seat in the kitchen and began to tell Grashaa about Riku and what they know. Once he finished he took a sip of water Grashaa served him in the middle of the conversation.

"So what does this have to do with me Alexander?" Grashaa already knew the responsibilities that were about to be given to him.

"Grashaa, you're the commander of the White Knights, our enemy trembles at your feet! I cannot take care of this young baby, he would die at my hands!" Grashaa laughed, giving Alexander a smile. "I'm convinced this child could become an amazing White Knight, he has so much... light in him."

"And this comes from the great Alexander himself? Alexander, I believe you can and you must take care of this child, there is no one else who can raise him like you." Grashaa smiled.

"But Grashaa-"

"No, my good friend I trust you and know you can take care of him like he was your own son." Grashaa nodded and laid his hand on Alexander's shoulder. "Go, with your new son, raise him to be a warrior."

Chapter II- (ending.)
A New Name and New Home

Alexander held the baby in his arms. He returned to his house, holding the baby tight and out of prying eyes. He entered the house and turned around to lock it. When he turned around he jumped, almost dropping Riku. He smiled.

"It's about time my powerful warrior returned home." Raydense kissed him on the lips and went towards the kitchen. "Hungry?"

Alexander was thinking, wondering how she would take it. "Yes, but before we eat can we talk?"

"Is it about your last battle? I heard all about it from Jul, he's crazy about you you know. He told me you froze the commander of the Black Knights without him even noticing. Am I supposed to believe all that?" She chuckled jokingly. He entered the kitchen with the baby in his hands. "What is that?" She asked, she continued taking out some bread and cheese.

"My love, this is our new son." Raydense stopped shocked. She turned to him and just stared into his eyes. "You're not joking are you Alex?" Alex shook his head and walked over to her, handing her the child. Riku was asleep and cuddled up into a small ball in the warm blanket. Raydense smiled. "Our child... you have a lot of explaining to do."

Alex sat down at the table and began to eat the bread. His mind was quickly trying to take everything in. He had a son, the son of his enemy, and now he was going to raise him. How does fate change things so quickly? He looked at Raydense and smiled. "His name is Riku."

Years began to pass as Riku grew and was raised in the White Knight ways. Alexander gradually continued as the hero of Falador for another year, then his fame began to decrease. Everyone forgot the name of Alexander the great, everyone had continued living their lives now free of the fear that gripped them when they were fighting the Black Knights. Riku grew and was nicknamed by the whole city "Black Riku", a name Alexander could not stand. He saw light in Riku, everyone else saw darkness.

Chapter III-
The Tragic War and Two New Friends

Alexander had been pushed back into the White Knights as one of the leaders by the king. Lately there had been un-dead cadavers attacking different villages near a terrifying swamp named Canifis. The king had heard different reports of powerful magicians and knew Alexander had killed many powerful magicians so he chose him for the job. Alexander gathered up his stuff and kissed Raydense good-bye, leaving her to take care of Riku. Alexander went out of the city and headed for the dreaded swmap.

Alexander, with his small group of four special knights, arrived at the swamp in three days. They all camped out at the edge, afraid to enter. Alexander, the only one who had enough courage, went to the edge of the swamp and turned to the others. "Lets enter men." As soon as he finished those words a loud scream shook the day and Alexander fell to the ground into the swamp, disappearing in less than a second.

"What... what happened?" Alexander opened his eyes slowly and began to look around. He noticed that red eyes were surrounding him, all watching his every move. "Who's there?" He noticed he was in the heart of the swamp, the very place he did not want to be, and it seemed even the daylight did not enter the swamp as it was pitch black, only showing red eyes and white teeth.

Alexander unsheathed his small knife with his left hand and held his staff with his right. He knew he was surrounded. He heard a growl behind him and quickly swung his blade around only slicing the air. He cautiously began to walk backwards, looking around with every step and ready for any strike. A wolf-like man jumped out of the darkness and struck Alexander on the chest, giving him a terrible gnash and knocking him to the ground. Alexander jumped up and lifted his staff. He quickly mouthed a spell and the whole area around him was bathed in a bright light. He looked around him, he was surrounded by about twenty wolf-like humans, all ready to strike.

Chapter III-
The Tragic War and Two New Friends

Alexander quickly mouthed another spell and he was surrounded by a ring of fire. All the wolf-men ran spread out around him or ran away. Alexander noticed one was holding a staff and was mouthing words. Alexander threw the knife in his left hand and it lodged itself into the magician's neck, sending him to the ground gurgling. Alexander mouthed another spell and the flames grew higher. The wolf-like creatures all began to run away, taking away the dead wolf that Alexander had just killed.

The sounds of the swamp suddenly was engulfed by silence, one that sent chills down Alexander's back. He stood in the circle of flames and waited for any sign that they were still there. He waited three hours and lowered the flames, waiting another five minutes to disperse them completely. He sat down and began to figure out his route out of this perplexing swamp. He figured out through water and a leaf which way was north. He began to walk west, keeping his path straight through frequent detailed checks to make sure he wasn't lost.

As he traversed the dreaded swamp he came across a small shack. After throwing rocks at the shack and waiting for any sign of life he walked over to it. He peered in through two mis-placed boards and noticed that it hadn't been used in awhile. He opened the door and walked inside. There was a broken chair and a moldy bed. He laid down on the bed and closed his eyes, he fell asleep.

All of a sudden he heard a sound that made him jump up. He looked around. A baby crying. He shook his head. 'Am I dreaming?' He thought for a second. 'No, no it's outside.' He got up very quietly and looked outside. A baby lay out in the open, ***** and helpless. He sensed a trick, or worse, a spell. He waited a few minutes, the baby just lay there cold and crying. He could barely stand the torture. He opened the door and quickly grabbed the baby. He bent down and wrapped the baby up. He looked around. Nothing happened.

Chapter III-
The Tragic War and Two New Friends

Alexander held the baby and continued on his way. He reached the edge of the swamp after another hour of walking blindly. He ran out and fell to the soft grass. He looked up into the night sky and began to laugh. "He's over here!" A call was heard and three men surrounded Alexander. "He's delirious, get him some water!" The men began helping Alexander, they gave him water and some bread and walked him to an encampment. Alexander walked into the biggest tent. "Grashaa!"

"Alexander!" Grashaa walked over to Alexander and gave him a quick hug. "We all thought you were dead. Can I do anything for you my friend?"

Alexander nodded. "That forest... it's haunted and cursed." He shivered. "How long was I in there?"

"You were in there six days Alex." Grashaa handed him a blanket. "Go and sleep, tomorrow we return to Falador and you can tell us what happened."

Alexander looked down at his blood soaked robe. "Grashaa, can I see a medic?"

Grashaa looked at him shocked. "Forgive me, I had no idea! Medic!"

Four days passed and they all returned to Falador. Alexander had a conference with the king and his advisors and told them everything that happened, keeping his encounter with the baby a secret. Grashaa had taken care of the baby during their return, giving it back to him when they arrived. Alexander arrived at his house and was almost tackled to the ground by Raydense. "I thought you were dead!" Riku was in her arms and was a bit squished under their embrace. He was young still, one year old.

"Raydense, I have..." She had already looked in the blanket and was walking back to the house.

"We'll talk about it later, right now you need to rest." Riku ran into the house.

"Raydense, love, his name is Zotiac." Alexander walked into the house and closed the door.

So the adventure started. Riku grew with his younger brother Zotiac, both under loving parents. Three years passed, nothing seemed to change, life moved on.

ChapterIII-
A Tragic War and Two New Friends

An explosion rocked the Black Knight Fortress. The few White Knights stationed there lay on the ground all burned or blown to different pieces. A red robed magician with a skull mask entered the fortress with his staff keeping him up as he walked through the rubble. "Tsk tsk, seemed Lord Hyro failed to defend the castle."

Another magician dressed similar but was a bit shorter walked through the rubble. "We were doing so well in the war also, I can't believe in one night we lost so many."

"The time has come Jate, the meeting called four years ago will be held tonight and we will see how many magicians are alive and well enough to fight the war again."

Another three magicians arrived together in a fiery blast. They entered the fortress and met with the other two in the middle of the courtyard. The tallest of the robed magicians looked around. "It seems you have all been dormant these past four years."

"But Lord Xert we were waiting for the opportune moment." The fattest of the bunch lifted his staff as he spoke. "I believe we should resurrect our army and bring back Lord Hyro."

"No, he failed us! He is of no further use to us!" Jate spoke the words with a bit of fear. There were some still loyal to him.

"Silence Jate, we will regroup this army and bring him back. Everyone join together, it is time to take back this war." Everyone raised their stavves and began chanting the same spell in complete unison. The ground began to shake and the fortress rubble began to move. Hands and heads came out of the ground, moaning and shouting as they came back to their miserable lives in a worse state. An hour passed and the shaking stopped, the voices were silenced, and the un-dead were all grouped together.

"Brothers! You have been brought back to life to complete one task and only one, revenge! The White Knights, they killed you and destroyed your families! You all now have the change to redeem your anger in the face of battle!"

Yeah I honestly think that was a bad touch in the origional story, just let it stay Riku. I mean that could be his nickname only when talking with people from Faladoor, but enemys, allys, ect everywhere else he's just Riku. Btw your on a roll bro! And it looks great! It adds that same old suspence that would be at the end of the origional LOD, freakin' great XD and yeah I will look for you guys on facebook
