The Rise Of Darkness
Chapter 1
As I looked into the sky, I saw not the usual chatter of joyful birds and gnomes riding their gnome helicopters. I saw darkness in the clouds such as it was about to rain. The sky was looking like this for hours but not even a single raindrop fell. I know nothing about my parents except from the fact that they both died when I was at a very young age. I lived with my best friend but even though he was caring, he would never fill the void that engulfed me.
I decided to hurry; it was getting dark, fast, when I heard a brutal scream. I turned around to see young women around my age being tormented by a disgusting creature.
The creature looked to be pure evil, and it was nothing like I had ever seen. At a small glimpse I saw the symbol of Zamorak on it. It was around six feet tall; it looked like a chewed up gumball with tentacles! The creature's black eyes showed no mercy. Single Handedly it threw the girl into a tree. The creature still wanted more. I had no time to think and only to act. I charged out the foul beast bare fisted.
"Hey you disgusting monster over here!" I bravely shouted. As it turned its head I prepared for the worst. Seeing that it was big and fat I figured that it would be slow.
As it raised one of its many tentacles ready to strike I ducked and went under its legs.
I was proved wrong. As fast as the wind it used its other tentacle without even looking to strike me on my ribs. I howled in pain but kept going to the girl.
"Hey lady, are you ok? I asked her name, "I'm Harry who are you?" I was hoping for a response, She was even more beautiful than she looked before, but she was knocked out.
I turned around and saw the beast jump in the air and try to pound on me. I barley dodged and the ground under me cracked. I searched my backpack to see if I had any type of weapon. I had no such luck, then I started wondering if the women had one. The beast had its piercing black eye on me. I tried to jump but the beast's tentacles grabbed me, and delivered a stunning shock!
"What the Hell!" I screamed, what other powers did these foul beasts have? It threw me against the girl but luckily I didn't hit her. I looked in her coat to see if she had anything. I was extremely surprised! This woman was loaded with weapons. I was thinking what would be the easiest to use. Even though it seemed that I was sort of brave let me tell you now: I'm not good at any fighting tactic. I decided to get the darts.
I flung three into its chest, well I aimed for its chest (they hit the beasts arms), and the thing didn't even let out one single glimpse of pain, instead it laughed. I aimed for the foul creature's head and with all my power a let that dart fly! It hit the beast right in the eye. Some sort of dark liquid came out of the eye of the beast. The thing muttered something and a greenish ball appeared. It hit me square in my chest!
With one of my last breathes I said, "Yo- You can u-use mag- magic to?"
It muttered something else and the body of the beast started glowing red even though before it was black and purple. I shot another dart at it but it didn't react. I shot another and another. One even hit its Zamorak symbol, which caused the beast to flinch, other than that it didn't respond. Then after a few seconds a gush of smoke came out and when it cleared the beast was gone! I fell down on the ground. I had to drag myself with my arms to the girl. When I reached her I let out a sigh and fainted.
A few hours later
Chapter 2
As I started waking up I thought the events that had took place were all some sort of nightmare but realizing my position I knew it wasn't. I turned around to see if that girl was still there, sure enough she wasn't. Every light in Lumbridge was turned off. I was about to search for the girl when I realized something big was about to happen.
"Forget this, I can't search for that dang girl now," I started thinking to myself. I was running as fast as I could and I got lost several times due to the fact it was pitch dark and late. Lumbridge was extremely spooky right now. Even at this time on any other day there are countless people roaming the streets with the streets bright light. Not a single soul was in the distance though. When I finally reached my house I saw a note on my table. It was from my best friend who's really more like an older brother to me.
"We have seen a huge beast. A few others and me have gone to the castle for refuge. As you know the Duke and the others are out of town celebrating his 30th birthday. The only one here from the castle that didn't go was the cook, come quick."
Your Friend,
Warlic The Mage.
"Some other people have seen the beast too," I said to myself.
Remembering Warlic's note I got my black two-handed and left. I reached the castle with no alarms. I banged on the huge door. "Let me in," I screamed.
The door opened with a thud. "Come quick," said a whisper.
I held my two-handed with a tight grip and entered. The doors slammed shut behind me.
"Do not speak and do as you're told for now, follow us," he commanded. Not knowing what to do I followed them. If this was a trap then I would've been dead for sure. He led me up to the top of the castle. I saw Warlic there and sighed a sigh of relief.
"Warlic, boy am I glad to see you, I was so terrified, so the monster came here to? Tell me what happened please."
"Likewise my friend it is good to see that you are still alive. Very well I shall tell you what happened. About 2 hours ago the sky became dark and full of clouds. I went outside to check what was going on with the weather. To my surprise a whole bunch of smoke arose. I used a wind strike to clear it and out came a brutal monster. It had many tentacles and had the symbol of Zamorak on it. It completely ignored me and started attacking random people. I couldn't bare what was happening. So I attacked the beast with Wind Bolts. I weakened it and then it started glowing red. After about 10 seconds again a whole lot of smoke appeared and it vanished. So I gathered what was left of the town and we all came here. You saw the monster to?"
I told Warlic about what happened, the only thing that we agreed on was that it had a Symbol of Zamorak, it could disappear using smoke but was highly venerable during that time period, and the part about the tentacles. I brought up that the beast got hurt only when I hit him in the eye and Zamorak Symbol.
"Oh snap, I completely forgot about the girl, we got to help her she must be close!"
Warlic disagreed with me, "It's to late at night, you won't be able to find her, and for what we know she might already be dead! Forget about her if you still remember her in the morning then you can go!"
No! She's more than just some random girl when I looked into her eyes I saw that she was a part of something big!"
"Shut up Harry! Forget about that girl! She's probably not even worth a coin!
"You Shut up! I know she's worth more than you and your family!"
"You're part of my family!"
"Not any more, I don't even consider you as my friend you can go rot in hell and I won't care!."
Warlic didn't respond after that. Picking up my two-handed I left the castle. I started regretting cursing at Warlic; I might have said some things I didn't mean. I started searching for her around the Lumbridge swamp but I had no luck. I went to the cow field to see if she was there, I saw a figure lurking from the dark. Once the figure came close I recognized it, Warlic!
"I might have said something that I didn't mean Harry, I'm sorry," said Warlic.
"Ya me to, you know I have and will always consider you as my brother, I'm sorry to man."
"Looks like we got a girl to find, right Harry?"
Astonished, I responded, " You got it Warlic."
"I've been working on a knew spell it can trace any human being by tracking there aura, I'll give it a shot I need a clear description of the girl."
"Sure," I said, "She was about five foot eight, she had long blonde hair with beautiful blue eyes. Not a flaw on her face, and she sort of had long nails."
Ok, I'll try," he said. I'm not sure which runes he used. It was too dark but sure enough he said, "We got a match."
He teleported us to Draynor Village, we were near the willows. He told me this is where he felt the aura. We looked around; she was nowhere to be found. I walked from one willow to another when I tripped over a shoe. My face fell towards the river, when Warlic helped me up.
"You dingaling don't make so much noise," he said.
I was about to apologize when I saw something in the corner of my eye. A women bathing in the river, it was the women that I met before. Then I realized she was naked and screamed. She saw me and screamed, Warlic on the other hand laughed hysterically. My face was redder than a cherry bush. She ran behind a tree and dressed up.
"Who are you?!" She asked.
"I'm the guy who saved you from the beast remember," I said the most calm way I could.
"What beast! I wasn't near any beast, leave me alone! First you sneak up on me and then you start asking me wierd questions!"
"How did she not remember," I asked myself? Before I knew it Warlic snuck up behind her and used a spell to knock her out. He told me that she had some sort of memory displacement and that he would check it out as soon as we were back in the castle.
1 Hour Later
Chapter 3: Part 1
"She's been put under a very advanced spell which makes her lose her memory every 6 hours," said Warlic after examining her, "I'm not sure if I can reverse this."
Chapter 3: Part 1
"She's been put under a very advanced spell which makes her lose her memory every 6 hours," said Warlic after examining her, "I'm not sure if I can reverse this."
"Please try," I begged and pleaded, "anything's worth a shot!"
"I can try but I'm going to need two fresh frog legs," he responded. "The only place that there are fresh frogs is at the Tree Gnome Stronghold. I can teleport you there once you are there you must, get the frog legs, use the spirit tree to get to varrock, and run back here."
I gulped. "Sounds simple enough."
I got my two-handed and some food. Then in the blink of an eye Warlic teleported me. Teleporting always freaked me out. I'd never been past Varrock but I did read a map about this place. "Well here goes nothing,"…
