The illustrious Palace of Balance, Guthix's magnificent home, shone brightly above the clouds. It lay upon the great floating cloud, which hovered across all of Gielnor so that it's resident could observe all of his creations. The great god himself took the human form of a white-robed man bearing a large, resillient beard. He was expecting many of the lesser dieties to arrive for the celebration of the world's three thousand years of existence. Suddenly, a wizard wearing dark, indigo robes teleported into the balcony, just next to Guthix.
"Hello, Saradomin," Guthix grinned.
"Greetings," Saradomin replied. Even though Guthix knew he was far greater than the wizard-like god of wisdom and goodness, Saradomin refused to ever submit to Guthix as a greater being. In Saradomin's view, Guthix, Zamorak, and himself were equals. He shared this belief with most of Gielnor's occupants, as well.
"How go things for you?" Guthix asked.
"Fair by comparison," Saradomin sighed. "They are still recovering from the scar of the wars."
"As there always will be," Guthix pointed to a spot in the sky beneath them where the clouds parted, revealing the smoking, brown-soiled realm known as the 'Wilderness.'
"Oh my..." Saradomin's eyes began to water. Guthix quickly caused the clouds to close the gap once again.
"You and your brothers were responsible for this, so your followers, along with theirs, will always be able to fight in this realm."
"Can't you fix it?" Saradomin pleaded, tears rolling down his cheeks as he remembered the suffering he ignored as he, along with Zamoark-the god of chaos and evil, Armadyl-his former master, and Bandos-the brute lord over goblins, giants, and all other foul creatures, battled for control of the Godsword of Zaros, the mightiest weapon ever created.
"I could fix this problem," Guthix said. "But I won't."
"Why not?" Saradomin inquired.
"It will serve forever as a reminder that there once was a war that divided Gielnor. You have earned this yourself."
Before anyone could say anything, a loud popping noise echoed through the grand palace's halls, and silver-haired and fair-skinned figure appeared.
"Greetings, my lord," she addressed Guthix. She nodded to Saradomin, but said nothing.
"Hello, Seren," Guthix said. "How go the elves?"
Seren sighed and shook her head. "Horrid. We fought as well as we could against Zamorak's wretched hordes, but they overwhelmed us. My people are devestated."
Guthix placed his hand on the elf god's shoulders and smiled. "Do not worry. I have gifts for all who arrive."
Seren smiled in turn, and nodded. Then, another cracking noise made them all jump. Tumeken's shape appeared.
"Greetings, my brothers," Tumeken said with his thick, desert accent. Guthix looked past it.
"As to you. Do your people fare well?"
"No," Tumeken answered. "As you know, Zaros' refugees fled to our desert, and defiled it with their war-like presence. Also, I have organized a desert Pantheon, and they sent me as a represetative. The others didn't feel the need to arrive, as we are all from the same desert."
Guthix nodded. "Soon, I will present a solution to all of your problems."
Tumeken nodded as well. He didn't know how, but he knew Guthix would help in any way he could.
SNAP.
Louder than all the others, Zamorak appeared. Everyone grimaced with disgust at the chaos god, but Guthix retained his grin.
"Hello, Zamorak, how goes it."
He nodded. "Fair, Guthix. Fair." Like Saradomin, Zamorak didn't believe Guthix was more powerful than he was. Instead, he believed he was the greatest and deserved the entire world.
"Why so?" Guthix asked.
"My people, the Mahjarrat," Zamorak said, "have been driven from their home by the Saradominists. We have been forced to scatter east and west."
"Into our lands!" Seren cried. Zamorak just glanced at her. Before anyone could speak, Guthix broke in.
"That is all who will be arriving. Now, I have gifts for you all to celebrate the three thousandth year of our existence.
"For you, Zamorak, I have this spear," Guthix handed the chaos god a staff with a sideways three symbol on it. "May it be used wisely."
Zamorak scoffed and carried his new possesion away.
"For you, Saradomin, I give you this sword. May it be used with much skill." Saradomin carefully took his weapon in his hands.
"For you, Seren, I grant your people this crystal," the god of balance handed the gem-like substance to the elf goddess. She smiled as the warmth of the crystal began to pusle through her veins. "May it guide your people through the darkest times.
"For you, Tumeken, I give you this stone. Wherever you put it, water will come from. May it be used with great caution, for water in your desert can be used as source of power." Tumeken took his gift, confused at the unclear meaning.
"That is all," Guthix said. "May you use your gifts with great strength and integrity. Strength through balance!" With that, they all were teleported out of Guthix's great palace.

i like it!!!
so far, 10/10
good start!

Um... that's not only the start, it's the middle and the ending as well. It's an entire story.

oops...
good story, though!!!

Thank you.

this could even be shorter then the gravestone but a great piece of work it ties in with age of zaros and age of war, but i heard that zamorak uses a battle axe thats what i heard from the god letters

this could even be shorter then the gravestone but a great piece of work it ties in with age of zaros and age of war, but i heard that zamorak uses a battle axe thats what i heard from the god letters

That was ages ago, wasn't it? I included the spear because it just seems to me what would go with him best.

idk but since Zamorak is immortal since carried his wep was probably with him when zaros tripped onto the staff of armadyll and lost his power to zamorak wouldnt anything on him last forever too

hey great story . I thought the story line was great. I assembled that the spear Guthix gave Zamorak is the Zamorakian spear in the game?? I'm not totally for sure. 10/10 stars. Very creative writing. Can I borrow it for shory stories for my English class? anyway, keep up the great work!!! let me know when you release the next chapter, book, or whatever
again great work!!
happy hero

Nah, it serves more of as a replacement for the one in the Godwars dungeon, as this story takes place afterwards. And thank you.

Very nice. I'm browsing through "Finway's Collection of Works" right now. heehee. Anyway, I did spot a few errors. Gielnor, I think is actually spelled Gielinor. Apart from that, the plot was very nice, but what is the thing that Tumeken got? I can figure out Saradomin got a saradomin sword, Zamorak the zamorakian spear and I think Seren got the crystal you use in "crystal saw" and "crystal bow" and "crystal shield." All in all, wonderful job. You really have a talent. I'm surprised you don't have a job in real life(as an author of course)

I could tell you were skimming through that collection! The stone, in fact, has no purpose, but it just goes to show the scarcity of water in the desert. As I stated previously, this was just a filler I wrote in between novels to pass the time.

Oh, and I think I'm a bit too young to have a job in-real-life as an author. Thanks for reading!

I forgot her name but the girl who wrote "The Outsiders" was just like 16. Age is never a factor, hell I'm pretty sure if you had the ability not to have a writer's block so often you could be an actual author .

I think I should be a little older to write a novel that would make my living, perhaps to gain more maturity in life, I'm not sure exactly.

Whenever you think you're ready, it doesn't have to be a huge novel either, a short one is great too.

Yes Finway, and you'll always have my support.
