Introduction


The world of RuneScape was created by the three gods Saradomin, Zamorak and Guthix at the start of the First Age. Theologians and priests state that for much of this time the gods were still in the process of forming the world. Much of this time must have been spent making the various lands, seas, plants and animals. The First Age is said to have lasted four thousand years. Scholars have deduced that this was roughly two thousand years long; it is thought that during this time many of the intelligent mortal races of RuneScape began to first form civilisations. Not all of the races that rose at this time have survived into the modern ages, so we know very little of them. At this time the gods interacted much more directly with the mortals than they do in current times. This was all to end in the Third Age. The Third Age was about four thousand years long and also known as the time of the God Wars. Stories tell of great and powerful entities and agents of the gods fighting cataclysmic wars during which time humanity could only just cling to survival. The end of the Third Age was said to be denoted by an agreement made by the great gods Saradomin, Guthix and Zamorak not to fight their wars on this fragile land for fear they would totally destroy it. They agreed to hold influence on RuneScape only through their worshippers and servants among the lesser races. The Fourth Age, sometimes known as the Age of Mortals, lasted for roughly two thousand years. With the God Wars over, the mortal races were at last able to multiply and prosper. There were many races competing to make their mark in the world, though. Humans, dwarves, goblins, ogres, gnomes and many more all competed for land and resources. There was much fighting between the different races, so cultural and scientific advances were slow.

To make things even harder there were tales of strange undead necromancers who arose from time to time, summoning armies of undead skeletons and zombies which swept across the land destroying all in their path.

During the early parts of the Fourth Age most of the humans lived in nomadic tribes, battling to stay alive against each other and against the tribes of other races. Over time they started to make more permanent settlements throughout the world, but they continued to have to war with their neighbours.

Many legends, tales and poems exist from this time and tell of the exploits of many heroes such as Robert the Strong and Arrav of Avarrocka.

No race had supremacy in these wars for many centuries until human mages on the north-west continent stumbled across ancient runic magics!

The human mages learnt how to create powerful magical stones known as runestones. They began to create them in large numbers. How they made the runestones was kept a closely guarded secret between just a few of the mages so as not to let the information fall into enemy hands.

These stones meant that many people - not just accomplished mages - could use powerful magic. Virtually anybody with even a small amount of magical ability was able to do something with the runestones and so the humans started to become dominant throughout the world. These events mark the start of the Fifth Age - the Age of Humans. The human settlements became big cities. They expanded their territories and the human tribes combined to form larger kingdoms. The kingdoms of Misthalin and Asgarnia quickly grew to become the kingdoms of RuneScape they still are today. The mages who discovered rune magic set up a great tower of wizardry in southern Misthalin.

Soon these runestones were spread to neighbouring human tribes and the Kingdom of Kandarin came into existence. Smaller human strongholds were also set up in places such as Al Kharid, Karamja and Entrana.

For a period things were looking very good for the human kingdoms. Some people tried to stand in the way of their expansion, most notably a wave of invading barbarians who objected to the use of runestones and rampaged through northern Kandarin and Asgarnia, but the runestones were powerful enough that the kingdoms could deal with all that came their way.

Then disaster struck! At this time, the wizards allowed followers of Zamorak among their number, which proved to be a foolish mistake. At a summit in the Wizards' Tower most of the powerful mages were gathered - but the zamorakian mages betrayed them, igniting a great fire which razed the tower to the ground. Most of the great wizards were killed, and their great library which stored the key to much of their power was also destroyed.

Still, there were plenty of runes left in the world. Enough that the existing kingdoms were able to adequately defend themselves from invaders, though they no longer wished to expend runes to expand their borders any further.

Following the burning of the tower there was a massive backlash against Zamorak's followers, who had previously been tolerated, if not exactly welcomed. In many areas the zamorakians quickly became outcasts who had to hide away from the rest of the world, though the black knights of the Kingdom of Asgarnia still held much political sway in that land.

Thus was the world in relative equilibrium for the next hundred years, the three great kingdoms held off all invaders. Most notable among these invaders was a mysterious and powerful undead necromancer whose army of skeletons and zombies launched an attack on the city of Varrock.

The year is now 169 in the Fifth Age, but the wizards are worried that the most powerful runes they had used to protect the kingdoms are running low. The enemies of Misthalin, Asgarnia and Kandarin are beginning to find footholds in their lands again within dark corners everywhere. New heroes must arise to maintain order and to stop the collapse of civilization under the forces of evil!

And thus, time went on in this fashion. Good and evil constantly trying to figure out what was on their opponents' minds. However, no major war had begun. The only battles that did occur were only small skirmishes. Otherwise Gielinor was nearly peaceful. It was not until 3,831 years from 169 FA (Fifth Age), that the Sixth Age had begun! Within the 3,831 years the Humans had prospered greatly in trade and cities such as Lumbridge and Rimmington were larger than before and had become one of the important cities. Varrock and Falador had indeed increased greatly in size, wealth, and power. The Misthalin forces had become the strongest in Gielinor, but the Kandarin trade had become the wealthiest! During the start of the Sixth Age (around 12 SA - Sixth Age) the Eastern Lands of Gielinor were unveiled, bringing with them new methods of fighting, weaponry, and trade. The first person to set foot from the Eastern Lands was Ak-Haranu, a brilliant warrior whose mission was to popularize his Eastern culture and ways of fighting. Fortunately, many people followed him and learned the Sacred Arts of the East. Ak-Haranu died before he could show his students the Eastern Lands. However, in the Sixth Age, the Misthalin cargo ships encountered a strange looking boat with vague yet beautiful designs. The ship consisted of archers holding longbows which were longer than the ones made in the West (meaning the entire part of Gielinor other than the Eastern Lands).

Also, warriors of the Eastern Lands held long and powerful swords in their hands which were not as curved as a scimitar, but not as straight as a long sword. It was called, a Katana. During 33 SA, Misthalin and Asgarnia had already been fluent traders with the Eastern Lands. The Eastern Lands had something which the entire Gielinor had craved for over the last Age - Runite Ore! Unlike the other parts of Gielinor, the Eastern Lands had large deposits of Runite Ore and Adamantite Ore all over their country. However, they didn't have all the other Ores. They made an agreement with Misthalin that they will give them their Runite Ore for Misthalin's Iron Ore, Copper Ore, and Tin Ore. And with Asgarnia that they will trade their Runite Ore for Asgarnia's Gold Ore, Coal, and Mithril Ore. Some of the people from Varrock, Falador, and Ardougne had embarked on a permanent shift in the Eastern Lands (also known as Azuma in their language). The year is now the 99th year of the Sixth Age. And so our story begins...

~Chapter One~


The Village of Etai was a very peaceful village. Last year was a good harvest of crops. The village was located on the far Western side of Azuma, near the Wilderness of the West. It mostly rained in the village throughout the year, and so rice was the ideal crop around. It was essential for the people of Etai not only because it provided their children with three meals a day, but also because it is the source of their trade. Without it, the village wouldn't even exist. Etai was a village surrounded by lush forests with dense trees and barely any undergrowth. There was greenery everywhere and it was the only village in Azuma that attracted the most foreigners. It also had something which it shared with the other villages: The Azuma Guild. The Azuma Guild was a nationwide Guild which was supposed to train foreigners and locals alike in the art of fighting and magic. The only thing that kept them away from other countries was because of its Runite Ore. Azuma was a land with Runite Weapons in great access. However, the people of Azuma were so peaceful that they only retaliated in self-defense, and that is also their fighting way.

"It has been quite sometime now that I've lived here," said one of the foreigners who had decided to live in Etai. "Follow me, I want to show you something."

"What is it this time, Darren?" Asked another foreigner who had recently shifted in Azuma.

"I can't tell you yet, Alice," said Darren. "It'll ruin your fun. You can see for yourself once you get there."

"OK, fine!" Alice gets up from the chair and follows Darren outside their house in the peaceful village of Etai. "It better be good. I don't want to waste anymore time here in this dumb village. I have better things to do back at Varrock."

"Yeah, fine," Darren said. "You can leave after I show you."

Darren and Alice kept walking through the thick forests surrounding Etai. The natural wildlife in Azuma almost never dies out. The dark clouds suddenly started covering up the sky.

"Hurry up!" Alice said in frustration. "Its going to rain soon!"

"Almost there," Darren said, without looking back. After another few minutes of walking they finally reached their destination. Darren gazes upon a long, steel bridge. The bridge was endless and stretched for miles. "Here we are! The first steel bridge of Gielinor!"

"That's it?" Alice said, her hands on her hips. "You made me follow you all the way from Etai just to look at some stupid bridge? I can't believe you! I'm leaving."

"No, no wait!" Darren grabbed Alice's arm. "Rumour has it that there is an unimaginable treasure somewhere on the other end of this bridge."

"Well, that's just a rumour," Alice said. "Now let go of my arm and let me go!" She frees her arm from Darren's grip and begins walking back towards the village.

"Fine!" Darren yells. "You go on ahead. Its getting dark anyways. I'd like to see you try walking all by yourself at night in a place you're not familiar with!" Alice stops walking and realizes that Darren was right. She looks back and makes an angry face and then quickly goes to his side.

"Alright lets go to the other end," Alice said. "Just make sure it won't take so long."

"It won't," Darren promised. And the two went on their journey across what seemed to be an endless bridge.

Darren and Alice kept on walking with Darren taking the lead and Alice right behind him holding his arm. Darren didn't seem afraid as he knew this land. However, Alice was nervous and got even more nervous by every step. Fortunately for Alice, the clouds didn't pour down any rain while they were on the bridge. The night was dark as the Moon was nearly blocked by the dense clouds.

"I see it," Darren said, setting his gaze upon their destination. "Alice, when we become rich you can go back home to mom and dad in Varrock and make them all happy!"

"Hopefully," Alice smiled, barely managing to keep it up. They traveled for another half hour until they reached land. The sky was pitch black and there wasn't any civilization for miles. Alice was completely scared and showed her fear by shivering. Darren felt her shiver.

"Alice," he calmly said. "If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can wait here while I go inside the cave and get the riches, OK?"

"Alright, but please hurry up." Alice said. Darren left her there alone shortly after.

Alice sat down on a rock and surveyed the new land. It certainly wasn't a part of Azuma, she thought. It must be the Wilderness. Alice started to grow tired of waiting so long. She got up to check on Darren but was stopped by a loud roar. The roar caused the ground to shake and the waves to rise. It sounded like three beasts roaring simultaneously. Alice was about to leave Darren behind until she spotted a scared Darren running for his life from the King Black Dragon! The dragon, with his three fierce heads was catching up on Darren. Darren was holding several riches in his hand and shouted for Alice to run! The two managed to run faster while on the bridge. The King Black Dragon rose up in the air and hovered above the two. Its red eyes were glowing in anger. Darren must've disturbed it somehow. The head in the middle spat out a wave of fire upon them. Fortunately, they managed to dodge the wave and kept running. Darren, not letting go of the riches, was slower than Alice. Eventually, Darren lost his stamina and will to run. He threw himself on the ground and was quickly burnt alive by the King Black Dragon. Darren screamed in despair and jumped into the sea. Alice, not turning back, kept running despite her brother's pleas to help him from drowning. Alice was nearly across half the bridge until it wasn't long that the King Black Dragon managed to destroy the bridge, thus, blocking her only path. She dived into the sea and kept swimming across. The dragon spat flames in the sea causing it to burn up. Alice's burnt dead body slowly made its way to the surface.

The Dragon roared in might as it gulped down both Darren and Alice. However, the King Black Dragon's hunger wasn't satisfied. It smelled for prey until one of the scent led it towards the direction of Etai. The dragon flew towards Etai, hoping to get a decent meal. The people of Etai were shocked and afraid and scattered away causing confusion. The King Black Dragon breathed fire on the small shacks of Etai and burnt down several homes and people.

"Sir," one of the Etai Village Commanders told his Chief. "There is a King Black Dragon on the loose!"

"What?" The Village Chief stood up and got ready for battle. "Call upon our strongest warriors!"

"Yes sir!" The Commander went outside and informed all the warriors (only a handful) to get ready for battle. Four of his best warriors were not found. He searched for them deep inside the burning village while at the same time avoiding the Dragon. He found two of them.

"To Arms!" The Commander yelled at them. The two warriors, a male and a female, told their teenage son to go with the other children while they get rid of the Dragon. The Commander took the child and sent him away.

"Hey!" the child screamed, kicking the commander and trying to get free. "My parents are out there! Let me go! Help my parents!" The Commander quickly loaded the teenager, along with the other kids and infants, on a large carriage driven by four Unicorns. The carriage driver quickly commanded the Unicorns to run and the carriage was gone to safety.

Then, the commander saw two of his other best Warriors running towards him with an infant boy in their arms.

"Where is the carriage?" The male Warrior, supposedly the father of the baby, yelled at the Commander.

"It left," the Commander stated, grabbing the child. "Don't worry, I'll put this child in a safe place!" The baby boy began to cry but was put to safety. The boy's parents then engaged in battle just like the other Warriors.

The King Black Dragon proved to be a tough foe and not a single of the Warriors could lay a hand on it! Their Runite Katanas proved worthless against the tough hide of the Dragon's. Also, lacking any shield to protect them from dragon breath, the Warriors were heavily outmatched. The King Black Dragon slowly put the Warriors out of their misery and ate them. The Commander saw as the baby boy's parents were burnt and the teenager's parents were brutally killed. He then tried to muster all of his strength and launched his Runite Katana into the Dragon's foot. Successfully, the Katana managed to pierce a large part of the Dragon's foot, but it wasn't enough. The Dragon easily lay the Commander aside, killing him. The Dragon roared in triumph as Etai had been completely destroyed.

"Hey!" A stranger said. "Over here!" The man wanted the Dragon's attention. The King Black Dragon glared towards a man dressed in black clothes. He was a warrior of Etai indeed. But he was no ordinary Warrior, he was one of the four Chosen Warriors. The Warrior produced a Steel Titan Summoning Pouch and summoned a large Steel Titan. The Chosen Warrior climbed on the back of the Steel Titan and the battle began!

The Steel Titan grabbed the middle head of the Dragon with its powerful hands and easily tore it off. The King Black Dragon jumped on the Titan and the two remaining heads bit it. However, the Steel skin of the Titan was powerful enough to defend it. The Chosen Warrior then summoned a Summoning Scroll and the Steel Titan started growing in power. It started glowing silver and then ran towards the Dragon, tackling it. The Titan then grabbed the Dragon from one of its heads and started absorbing the essence of the Dragon. However, just before being absorbed the Dragon retaliated and headbutted the Titan causing it to fall back. The Dragon then died out of severe loss of blood and its essence was absorbed in a Summoning Pouch. The Chosen Warrior put the Titan back in its Pouch and went over to the Chief. The Chief had the infant boy in his hands.

"The King Black Dragon is sealed in this Pouch," the Chosen Warrior said. "I want you to never open this Pouch."

"Very well then, sir," The Village Chief bowed down to the Chosen Warrior, who dispersed shortly after. The Village Chief put the infant baby boy next to the King Black Dragon's Pouch and went outside to check on his Commander. A short while later the Chief returned, having discovered that his Commander was dead, and saw something that would change his life. The infant boy had opened the Dragon's Pouch and the Dragon's essence was wandering around the child. The Chief couldn't do anything as he was completely in a state of shock. The King Black Dragon's essence then made its way in the boy's mouth and the baby had absorbed the Dragon's essence!...

I don't have much time right now, so I can't give you a review (I'll try to get around to it later) but I will say quite a few paragraphs are a bit too large.

~Chapter Two~


15 Years Later...


"You won't get away with this!" One of two Warriors shouted, as they chased a young, teenage boy. "Nelson Wade, you come back here this instance!" The Warriors were not as fast as the boy was since they had their Steel armour on. The teenage boy, Nelson Wade, had a bucket of sap in his hands and was laughing while running away from the two Warriors. "Come... back... here," said one of the Warriors, who grew tired of chasing him for so long. Nelson soon lost his pursuers and ran while looking back at them.

As he ran he accidentally bumped into a muscled man wearing black, loose pants, and black robe top. "Got into trouble again, Nelson?" The man said, his voice was filled with gentleness to the boy. "How many times do I have to tell you not to skip class!?" That soon changed, and the man's voice was filled with madness.

"Sorry, sir," Nelson smiled back. "I was busy with some refurbishing." Nelson let out a big smile.

"What did you do this time?" His mentor asked him.

"Look for yourself, Master Ivan," Nelson pointed to behind him. Ivan's mouth was wide open with astonishment. The face of Ak-Haranu's statue had been covered in tree sap.

"You're in big trouble!" Master Ivan yelled at a laughing Nelson.

Master Ivan grabbed Nelson by the ear and took him back to the Azuma Guild, which had been reconstructed after the destruction of Etai by the King Black Dragon. The Village of Etai had been fully constructed again and the people had already brought back Etai's former glory. The paddy fields were full of rice crops, the market place was full of eager buyers and sellers, and the neighbourhoods were peaceful nonetheless. Master Ivan took Nelson the Azuma Guild where he tied him up to a chair infront of the students who started giggling at Nelson's stupidity.

"Nelson," Master Ivan states while looking at his class. "I can't believe that you have failed the examinations not once but twice! Are you looking forward to a third failure?" Master Ivan was hoping that Nelson would feel sorry for himself, but Nelson was wondering how to break free from the ropes. Seeing that Nelson wasn't ashamed of his failures, Master Ivan said to the class, "Alright class, today we will be reviewing on the Telekinesis Spell once more."

"What!?" Nelson yelled. "I hate that spell! Why must you review a Spell which I'm not even good at it!"

"Well, you deserve it," Master Ivan went over to Nelson and untied him from the chair. "Class, I want you to line up infront of me and show me the Telekinesis Spell."

The class did as their Master told them to and everyone was lined up. First up was a young girl, around Nelson's age (15), who had beautiful brown hair and blooming green eyes. Nelson admired her very much but she never cared for him and thought differently about him. She performed the Telekinesis Spell and managed to lift her Master up from the ground with the Spell.

"Very good, Seren," Master Ivan said. "Next."

Next in line was a young teenager also around Nelson's age. He had jet black hair reaching down to his shoulders and was admired by Seren although he didn't care. Nelson hated him for 'stealing' Seren from him. The teenager performed the Telekinesis successfully, lifting up his teacher using the spell.

"Excellent, Drake," Master Ivan said. "Nelson, I expect something good out of you."

Next, it was Nelson's turn. He didn't really know how to lift his teacher using the Telekinesis Spell, but he was aware of other tricks. Nelson focused his vision on his teacher while holding the required Runes (1 Law Rune and 1 Air Rune). After a moment's silence, Nelson finally whispered the spell's code and successfully cast the Telekinesis! But he didn't not lift his teacher up, but infact pulled his teacher's pants down! "That's payback!" Nelson laughed out loud. Master Ivan was completely embarrassed and quickly lifted his pants up and then smacked Nelson on the face.

"Get out of my class!" Master Ivan points to the door. Nelson miserably goes out of the Azuma Guild.

* * *


As punishment for his previous deed, Master Ivan commanded Nelson to clean up the Ak-Haranu Statue which he had covered with tree sap. As Nelson was wiping the sap from the face of Ak-Haranu's, Master Ivan sat cross legged on Ak-Haranu's large head. "You are not allowed to go home until and unless you clean this mess," Master Ivan said, looking at the red, evening sky.

"I don't care!" Nelson cried. "Its not like I have anyone back at home waiting for me!" Nelson's voice began cracking. Master Ivan felt sorry for him being an orphan.

"Tell you what," Master Ivan said. "After you're done with the cleaning, we can go eat at the Pizza Stand and order some Pineapple Pizzas."

"We will?" Nelson looks up at his teacher with a smile on his face.

"Yes we will." With that said, Nelson quickly cleans the Ak-Haranu Statue from head to toe, even cleaning the parts which were not covered in sap.

After he completed his work, Nelson and Master Ivan were at the Pizza Stand eating Pineapple Pizzas. Nelson had already finished two while Master Ivan was still on his first. Nelson was almost finished with his third Pineapple Pizza.

"Nelson," Master Ivan asked. "Why did you cover the Ak-Haranu Statue with tree sap? Do you know how important he is? He was the very first Chosen Warrior, chosen by Saradomin himself to protect Azuma."

"I know, Master Ivan," Nelson said, while voraciously eating his fourth Pineapple Pizza. "I know exactly how important he is." Nelson finishes his fourth pizza and clears his throat with some water and then said, "The Chosen Warriors are particularly chosen by Saradomin to protect Azuma and they are extremely powerful Warriors."

"Well, if you knew how important he was then why did you do it?" Master Ivan asked while sipping tea from his wooden bowl.

"That's because I will be the best Warrior in Gielinor!" Nelson said. "I will surpass all the Chosen Warriors and even Ak-Haranu then, hopefully, Saradomin will choose me as the new protector of Azuma! Maybe even Gielinor!" Master Ivan was completely dumbfounded. Nelson had big dreams. "Master Ivan," Nelson said. "Can you do me a favour?"

"Sure," Master Ivan said. "You want more Pizza?"

"No," Nelson said. "Can I borrow your Etai Amulet?"

"What, this?" Master Ivan produces a green Amulet from under his shirt. The Amulet had Saradomin's symbol on it. "I can't allow that. You must pass the Etai Examinations of Combat."

"You're stingy!" Nelson said with a frustrated look. "I want another Pizza!"

* * *


The next day was a damp day as usual for Etai. It almost never stops raining. There has to be rainfall atleast once every day. This year, Nelson was ready to pass the exams and go on to the next level of becoming a Warrior! Master Ivan enters the class.

"You will all come to the next room to the examination," Master Ivan explained. "We will be doing the spell, Bind."

Not Bind! Nelson thought. That is my worst spell! One-by-one, the Apprentice Warrior/Mages went inside the next room and successfully performed Bind. Nelson wanted to go last, as he needed sometime to practice it. After everyone was finished, Nelson was finally called to perform Bind. The room had one desk and nothing else. Two mentors were sitting there, one was Master Ivan and the other was Master Miguel.

"Alright, Nelson," said Master Miguel. "Lets see it."

"You better perform it right this time," Master Ivan warned.

Nelson took out the required Runes for casting a Bind spell and whispered out its spell code. The objective was to cast Bind on anyone of the Masters, paralyzing them for atleast 5 seconds. After a moment of silence, he finally cast it on Master Ivan. Master Ivan tried getting up from his chair but was unable to. But after 2 seconds Master Ivan managed to move his arm.

"Failed," Master Ivan said.

"What!?" Nelson said.

"Yeah, Ivan," Master Miguel looked at his partner. "Why?"

"He didn't manage to keep me paralyzed for 5 seconds," Master Ivan simply said getting up to leave. "I was frozen for only 2 seconds."

"He did technically cast a Bind spell," Master Miguel said. "You can't fail him."

"I can, and I will," With that said Master Ivan left.

Nelson miserably left the room. Outside of the Azuma Guild Nelson seated himself on the pavement and watched how the other apprentices have been successful. He watched as the warriors put on their Etai Amulets, showing that they had reached the novice level.

"Hey, isn't he that guy who..." One girl said but was interrupted.

"Shush," The other girl interrupted. "You shouldn't speak of him."

The students left soon after, to their homes to enjoy their success. Nelson, however, could only hope for the best to happen next year.

"Its getting kind of late," Master Miguel said, as he spotted Nelson sitting all by himself on the pavement.

"Whats the points of going home?" Nelson asked. "I haven't got anyone."

"You know," Master Miguel said as he sat beside Nelson. "Ivan really cares for you."

"If so then why does he have to fail me again?" Nelson cried. "Is that the way he shows his generosity?"

"No," Miguel said. "He wants you to become genuinely strong since the both of you are orphans."

"Hmph," Nelson looked away. "That doesn't make any sense."

"Let me tell you a secret," Master Miguel whispered something into Nelson's ear.

* * *


Ivan was on his bed, trying to get some sleep. He stared up at the ceiling and wondered how Nelson must've felt about not having any parents. He shut eyes.

The Commander went outside and informed all the warriors (only a handful) to get ready for battle. Four of his best warriors were not found. He searched for them deep inside the burning village while at the same time avoiding the Dragon. He found two of them.

"To Arms!" The Commander yelled at them. The two warriors, a male and a female, told their teenage son to go with the other children while they get rid of the Dragon. The Commander took the child and sent him away.

"Hey!" the child screamed, kicking the commander and trying to get free. "My parents are out there! Let me go! Help my parents!" The Commander quickly loaded the teenager, along with the other kids and infants, on a large carriage driven by four Unicorns. The carriage driver quickly commanded the Unicorns to run and the carriage was gone to safety.


"Ivan!" Miguel disturbed Ivan's sleep as he burst in Ivan's room.

"What?" Ivan asked.

"Its Nelson," Miguel said and then went outside.

"What! Nelson, again!" Ivan said to himself. He put on his Guild uniform (the black loose pants and black robe top) and quickly rushed outside. There was a large gathering of Warrior and Magic trainers all talking to each other. Then the Chosen Warrior of Etai showed up. Everyone became silent. The Chosen Warrior closed his eyes and tried to find Nelson telepathically. He opened his eyes.

"It seems that Nelson has gone too far this time," the Chosen Warrior of Etai said. "From a troublemaker he has turned into a threat! Nelson has stolen the Elite Spell Book and is somewhere in the forest to the east of Etai."

Upon hearing this Ivan quickly set out to find Nelson. He ran with amazing speed and agility. Jumping over small shacks and swinging on the branches of the trees. Meanwhile, in the forest Nelson was reading from the Elite Spell Book. The Spell Book contained all the sacred spells from the Modern Magics Spell Book. The Spells in the Elite Spell Book could only be performed by high-ranked wizards or the Chosen Warriors. If the Elite Spell Book ever managed to reach in the wrong hands there could be trouble. Nelson read the Spell Book and wanted to learn something from it to impress Master Ivan so he can let him pass. Nelson had brought a bag full of Runes consisting of all the Elemental Runes and a few Nature Runes too. The first spell in the book was Entangle.

"Ah! I hate paralyzing spells!" Nelson said. "Oh well, if this will impress Master Ivan so be it." Nelson started his training.

After sometime Master Ivan finally found Nelson. Nelson was exhausted and tired and was happy to see Master Ivan.

"Hello Master Ivan," Nelson said with a grin. "This Spell Book is so cool! I only managed to learn one spell from it though. Want to see the new Spell I learned?"

"Who told you about the Elite Spell Book?" Master Ivan asked Nelson, ignoring his question.

"Master Miguel did," Nelson said. "Why? Is there a problem?"

Ivan was shocked to hear the revelation. He knew that Nelson was an idiot but not a liar and so believed him. Then Ivan heard something and pushes Nelson out of the way of several throwing knives. All the knives miss Ivan except one, which struck his leg. Ivan realized what was going on.

"Hand me the Spell Book, Nelson!" Miguel commands revealing himself to be the one who threw the throwing knives. Miguel was a few feet away from Ivan and Nelson.

"Huh?" Nelson confused. "What's going on?"

Ivan takes out the knife from his leg and yells at Nelson, "You must never hand over the Spell Book to Miguel or anyone else as it has sacred spells in them!" Ivan turns towards Miguel. "Miguel used you, Nelson, so he can get his scruffy hands on the Spell Book! Well I'm not going to let that happen!"

"Pretty clever, Ivan," Miguel said. He steps a few feet back and said, "Mind if I tell Nelson the truth about his past?"

"You wouldn't dare!" Ivan said, threatening to attack Miguel.

"Nelson!" Miguel said, glaring at Nelson viciously. "Listen to this. Fifteen years ago the Chosen Warrior of Etai made a rule. A rule no one was supposed to tell Nelson." Nelson was intrigued and wanted to hear more. But Ivan objected. "It was because you are the King Black Dragon! That is why everyone doesn't speak to you and even Ivan secretly hates you because it was you who had killed his parents!"

"Shut up, Miguel!" Ivan yelled. Nelson was in a state of shock.

"Haven't you found it odd how people treat you, Nelson?" Miguel said menacingly. His merciless voice tearing apart Nelson. Ending the story, Miguel throws a Runite Throwing Knife at Nelson but Ivan quickly blocks the attack using his own body. The Runite Throwing Knife struck Ivan on the back.

"Why, Master Ivan?" Nelson said. "Why did you save me?"

Ivan coughs up blood and said, "Because we are the same," he said. "I know how it feels to not have parents and I used to be just like you when I was young. Always trying to cause trouble. I'm sorry, Nelson. No one should have to suffer that much."

Miguel laughed out loud. "You scoundrel, Ivan! You've always hated Nelson, and even now you are only trying to get the Spell Book back!"

The situation was confusing to Nelson and he ran away deep in the forest. "Nelson!" Ivan yelled.

"Nelson will now use the Spell Book to take revenge on the people of Etai," Miguel said as he grinned menacingly.

"He isn't like that!" Ivan yelled and took out the Runite Throwing Knife from his back and threw it at Miguel who calmly steps out of its way.

"I'll kill, Nelson, and take the Spell Book," Miguel said and ran after Nelson.

"I won't let you," Ivan whispers and gets up to chase Miguel.

Miguel was hot on Nelson's trail and almost about to catch him. Almost until he was tackled from behind by Ivan.

"You fool!" Miguel yelled. "Why are you trying to protect a menace? He wants to use the Spell Book for his own desire! That is how evil really is."

"You are right," Ivan said. The two warriors didn't realize that Nelson was hiding behind a large Yew tree listening to everything. He was depressed to hear such words from Master Ivan. "That is how evil is, but Nelson isn't like that. He is one of a kind, as he works hard and puts his whole heart into whatever he does. He often makes mistakes and people get on his case, but that only makes him stronger. He is Nelson Wade of the Village of Etai. That is what separates him from evil."

Nelson sheds tears as he heard everything what his Master had said. "Do you really believe that?" Miguel said as he produced another Runite Throwing Knife. "I was going to save you for later but I've decided to get rid of you once and for all! Now is your time to die!" Miguel rushes towards Ivan with the knife in hand. Ivan wasn't ready for a fight as his leg and back had been injured. As Miguel almost reached Ivan, Nelson came out of his place delivered a massive knee into Miguel's face.

"Don't ever lay a single hand on my master!" Nelson stated. "I'll kill you if you do!"

"You are just a distraction," Miguel said.

"Do your worst!" Nelson yelled. With that said Nelson produces some Earth, Water, and Nature Runes and whispers a spell code. He then casts a green, illumination and waves towards Miguel with both hands. Suddenly, Miguel couldn't feel himself move.

"I can't move!" He yelled. Ivan was surprised as he saw that Nelson had successfully cast a paralyzing spell. But for how long? He wondered. Nelson then moves in for the kill. He strikes several times on Miguel's face and landed several kicks in the groin. Nelson was moving very fast which enabled him to inflict alot of damage on Miguel. Ivan counted how long Miguel remained paralyzed, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. At this point Ivan was really impressed. For the last 5 seconds Nelson tackled Miguel on the ground and finally ended the battle by striking his throat with a throwing knife.

Nelson realized that he had done something wrong and shrieks. However, Ivan comes over to Nelson and says that its OK and he did the right thing.

"I counted how long Miguel remained paralyzed," Ivan told Nelson. "You managed to keep him paralyzed and fight him at the same time for 15 seconds exact! You do realize that the spell you just cast is neither Bind nor Snare."

"You mean to say I cast a really powerful paralyzing spell?" Nelson was bewildered.

"Yes," Ivan said. "You cast an Entangle!"

Nelson was overwhelmed with joy and hugged his master.

"Here Nelson," Ivan said. "I want you to have this." Ivan took out his Etai Amulet and handed it to Nelson. "Congratulations, you passed! Lets go celebrate by having some pizza!"

Nelson hugged his master tighter than ever as the Sun rose to greet them with a new day...

~Chapter Two~


15 Years Later...


"You won't get away with this!" One of two Warriors shouted, as they chased a young, teenage boy. "Nelson Wade, you come back here this instance!" The Warriors were not as fast as the boy was since they had their Steel armour on. The teenage boy, Nelson Wade, had a bucket of sap in his hands and was laughing while running away from the two Warriors. "Come... back... here," said one of the Warriors, who grew tired of chasing him for so long. Nelson soon lost his pursuers and ran while looking back at them.

As he ran he accidentally bumped into a muscled man wearing black, loose pants, and black robe top. "Got into trouble again, Nelson?" The man said, his voice was filled with gentleness to the boy. "How many times do I have to tell you not to skip class!?" That soon changed, and the man's voice was filled with madness.

"Sorry, sir," Nelson smiled back. "I was busy with some refurbishing." Nelson let out a big smile.

"What did you do this time?" His mentor asked him.

"Look for yourself, Master Ivan," Nelson pointed to behind him. Ivan's mouth was wide open with astonishment. The face of Ak-Haranu's statue had been covered in tree sap.

"You're in big trouble!" Master Ivan yelled at a laughing Nelson.

Master Ivan grabbed Nelson by the ear and took him back to the Azuma Guild, which had been reconstructed after the destruction of Etai by the King Black Dragon. The Village of Etai had been fully constructed again and the people had already brought back Etai's former glory. The paddy fields were full of rice crops, the market place was full of eager buyers and sellers, and the neighbourhoods were peaceful nonetheless. Master Ivan took Nelson the Azuma Guild where he tied him up to a chair infront of the students who started giggling at Nelson's stupidity.

"Nelson," Master Ivan states while looking at his class. "I can't believe that you have failed the examinations not once but twice! Are you looking forward to a third failure?" Master Ivan was hoping that Nelson would feel sorry for himself, but Nelson was wondering how to break free from the ropes. Seeing that Nelson wasn't ashamed of his failures, Master Ivan said to the class, "Alright class, today we will be reviewing on the Telekinesis Spell once more."

"What!?" Nelson yelled. "I hate that spell! Why must you review a Spell which I'm not even good at it!"

"Well, you deserve it," Master Ivan went over to Nelson and untied him from the chair. "Class, I want you to line up infront of me and show me the Telekinesis Spell."

The class did as their Master told them to and everyone was lined up. First up was a young girl, around Nelson's age (15), who had beautiful brown hair and blooming green eyes. Nelson admired her very much but she never cared for him and thought differently about him. She performed the Telekinesis Spell and managed to lift her Master up from the ground with the Spell.

"Very good, Seren," Master Ivan said. "Next."

Next in line was a young teenager also around Nelson's age. He had jet black hair reaching down to his shoulders and was admired by Seren although he didn't care. Nelson hated him for 'stealing' Seren from him. The teenager performed the Telekinesis successfully, lifting up his teacher using the spell.

"Excellent, Drake," Master Ivan said. "Nelson, I expect something good out of you."

Next, it was Nelson's turn. He didn't really know how to lift his teacher using the Telekinesis Spell, but he was aware of other tricks. Nelson focused his vision on his teacher while holding the required Runes (1 Law Rune and 1 Air Rune). After a moment's silence, Nelson finally whispered the spell's code and successfully cast the Telekinesis! But he didn't not lift his teacher up, but infact pulled his teacher's pants down! "That's payback!" Nelson laughed out loud. Master Ivan was completely embarrassed and quickly lifted his pants up and then smacked Nelson on the face.

"Get out of my class!" Master Ivan points to the door. Nelson miserably goes out of the Azuma Guild.

* * *


As punishment for his previous deed, Master Ivan commanded Nelson to clean up the Ak-Haranu Statue which he had covered with tree sap. As Nelson was wiping the sap from the face of Ak-Haranu's, Master Ivan sat cross legged on Ak-Haranu's large head. "You are not allowed to go home until and unless you clean this mess," Master Ivan said, looking at the red, evening sky.

"I don't care!" Nelson cried. "Its not like I have anyone back at home waiting for me!" Nelson's voice began cracking. Master Ivan felt sorry for him being an orphan.

"Tell you what," Master Ivan said. "After you're done with the cleaning, we can go eat at the Pizza Stand and order some Pineapple Pizzas."

"We will?" Nelson looks up at his teacher with a smile on his face.

"Yes we will." With that said, Nelson quickly cleans the Ak-Haranu Statue from head to toe, even cleaning the parts which were not covered in sap.

After he completed his work, Nelson and Master Ivan were at the Pizza Stand eating Pineapple Pizzas. Nelson had already finished two while Master Ivan was still on his first. Nelson was almost finished with his third Pineapple Pizza.

"Nelson," Master Ivan asked. "Why did you cover the Ak-Haranu Statue with tree sap? Do you know how important he is? He was the very first Chosen Warrior, chosen by Saradomin himself to protect Azuma."

"I know, Master Ivan," Nelson said, while voraciously eating his fourth Pineapple Pizza. "I know exactly how important he is." Nelson finishes his fourth pizza and clears his throat with some water and then said, "The Chosen Warriors are particularly chosen by Saradomin to protect Azuma and they are extremely powerful Warriors."

"Well, if you knew how important he was then why did you do it?" Master Ivan asked while sipping tea from his wooden bowl.

"That's because I will be the best Warrior in Gielinor!" Nelson said. "I will surpass all the Chosen Warriors and even Ak-Haranu then, hopefully, Saradomin will choose me as the new protector of Azuma! Maybe even Gielinor!" Master Ivan was completely dumbfounded. Nelson had big dreams. "Master Ivan," Nelson said. "Can you do me a favour?"

"Sure," Master Ivan said. "You want more Pizza?"

"No," Nelson said. "Can I borrow your Etai Amulet?"

"What, this?" Master Ivan produces a green Amulet from under his shirt. The Amulet had Saradomin's symbol on it. "I can't allow that. You must pass the Etai Examinations of Combat."

"You're stingy!" Nelson said with a frustrated look. "I want another Pizza!"

* * *


The next day was a damp day as usual for Etai. It almost never stops raining. There has to be rainfall atleast once every day. This year, Nelson was ready to pass the exams and go on to the next level of becoming a Warrior! Master Ivan enters the class.

"You will all come to the next room to the examination," Master Ivan explained. "We will be doing the spell, Bind."

Not Bind! Nelson thought. That is my worst spell! One-by-one, the Apprentice Warrior/Mages went inside the next room and successfully performed Bind. Nelson wanted to go last, as he needed sometime to practice it. After everyone was finished, Nelson was finally called to perform Bind. The room had one desk and nothing else. Two mentors were sitting there, one was Master Ivan and the other was Master Miguel.

"Alright, Nelson," said Master Miguel. "Lets see it."

"You better perform it right this time," Master Ivan warned.

Nelson took out the required Runes for casting a Bind spell and whispered out its spell code. The objective was to cast Bind on anyone of the Masters, paralyzing them for atleast 5 seconds. After a moment of silence, he finally cast it on Master Ivan. Master Ivan tried getting up from his chair but was unable to. But after 2 seconds Master Ivan managed to move his arm.

"Failed," Master Ivan said.

"What!?" Nelson said.

"Yeah, Ivan," Master Miguel looked at his partner. "Why?"

"He didn't manage to keep me paralyzed for 5 seconds," Master Ivan simply said getting up to leave. "I was frozen for only 2 seconds."

"He did technically cast a Bind spell," Master Miguel said. "You can't fail him."

"I can, and I will," With that said Master Ivan left.

Nelson miserably left the room. Outside of the Azuma Guild Nelson seated himself on the pavement and watched how the other apprentices have been successful. He watched as the warriors put on their Etai Amulets, showing that they had reached the novice level.

"Hey, isn't he that guy who..." One girl said but was interrupted.

"Shush," The other girl interrupted. "You shouldn't speak of him."

The students left soon after, to their homes to enjoy their success. Nelson, however, could only hope for the best to happen next year.

"Its getting kind of late," Master Miguel said, as he spotted Nelson sitting all by himself on the pavement.

"Whats the points of going home?" Nelson asked. "I haven't got anyone."

"You know," Master Miguel said as he sat beside Nelson. "Ivan really cares for you."

"If so then why does he have to fail me again?" Nelson cried. "Is that the way he shows his generosity?"

"No," Miguel said. "He wants you to become genuinely strong since the both of you are orphans."

"Hmph," Nelson looked away. "That doesn't make any sense."

"Let me tell you a secret," Master Miguel whispered something into Nelson's ear.

* * *


Ivan was on his bed, trying to get some sleep. He stared up at the ceiling and wondered how Nelson must've felt about not having any parents. He shut eyes.

The Commander went outside and informed all the warriors (only a handful) to get ready for battle. Four of his best warriors were not found. He searched for them deep inside the burning village while at the same time avoiding the Dragon. He found two of them.

"To Arms!" The Commander yelled at them. The two warriors, a male and a female, told their teenage son to go with the other children while they get rid of the Dragon. The Commander took the child and sent him away.

"Hey!" the child screamed, kicking the commander and trying to get free. "My parents are out there! Let me go! Help my parents!" The Commander quickly loaded the teenager, along with the other kids and infants, on a large carriage driven by four Unicorns. The carriage driver quickly commanded the Unicorns to run and the carriage was gone to safety.


"Ivan!" Miguel disturbed Ivan's sleep as he burst in Ivan's room.

"What?" Ivan asked.

"Its Nelson," Miguel said and then went outside.

"What! Nelson, again!" Ivan said to himself. He put on his Guild uniform (the black loose pants and black robe top) and quickly rushed outside. There was a large gathering of Warrior and Magic trainers all talking to each other. Then the Chosen Warrior of Etai showed up. Everyone became silent. The Chosen Warrior closed his eyes and tried to find Nelson telepathically. He opened his eyes.

"It seems that Nelson has gone too far this time," the Chosen Warrior of Etai said. "From a troublemaker he has turned into a threat! Nelson has stolen the Elite Spell Book and is somewhere in the forest to the east of Etai."

Upon hearing this Ivan quickly set out to find Nelson. He ran with amazing speed and agility. Jumping over small shacks and swinging on the branches of the trees. Meanwhile, in the forest Nelson was reading from the Elite Spell Book. The Spell Book contained all the sacred spells from the Modern Magics Spell Book. The Spells in the Elite Spell Book could only be performed by high-ranked wizards or the Chosen Warriors. If the Elite Spell Book ever managed to reach in the wrong hands there could be trouble. Nelson read the Spell Book and wanted to learn something from it to impress Master Ivan so he can let him pass. Nelson had brought a bag full of Runes consisting of all the Elemental Runes and a few Nature Runes too. The first spell in the book was Entangle.

"Ah! I hate paralyzing spells!" Nelson said. "Oh well, if this will impress Master Ivan so be it." Nelson started his training.

First of all, Nelson was caught defacing a statue. Naruto did the same thing. Secondly, his classmates resemble Naruto's. Nelson gets revenge on his teacher by pulling down his teacher's pants. Naruto...er...used the Sexy Jutsu. It's really funny, you should watch that part. Third, Naruto is also an orphan. Fourth, His teacher forced him to clean that statue. Naruto's teacher made him do the same thing. They also went out for food later, too, but with ramen. You get it? Fifth, Nelson wanted the Entai amulet, correct? Naruto wanted the Leaf Village headband that his teacher had. When his teacher refused, he ordered another bowl of ramen. Same thing with Nelson. Lastly, one of Naruto's teacher's collegues betrayed his teacher. Naruto defeated that evil guy, but he didn't get the headband. That's basically the only different thing. So this is Naruto, runescape-fied. If it is a coincidence, it's probably the biggest one you've seen in your life. laugh.gif Really...

What the ----! I don't know what to say rofl! I made Nelson an orphan because I thought being an orphaned hero would be kind of cool. And SEXY JUTSU!? I have got to watch that show tongue.gif! LOL Anyways, hopefully Chapter 3 won't be like Naruto... I feel so... different after all this.

Ending the his story, Miguel throws a Runite Throwing Knife at Nelson but Ivan quickly blocks the attack using his own body. The Runite Throwing Knife struck Ivan on the back.

Ending the his story? Wtf?

Excellent story as usual Buland, a great addition to the story mat.

I'd say a 9/10 but are you sure you're not lying and just put Naruto Episodes 1 - 4 on replay? aware.gif

Thanks for pointing out my silly mistake. I've changed it to "ending the story". laugh.gif And thanks for the rating!

... And no I did not put Naruto episodes 1-4 on replay... However, I did base my second chapter on Naruto's first episode but that was only because I needed something similar to it to start out my story! You'll read onwards and find out that my story has nothing related or similar to Naruto!

Short History of Person: He was fount by Armadyl's followers and Armadyl deemed him worthy to be raised by the aviansie. Though Armadyl has never seen him in person (cuz of guthix) Rouge has the ability to speak with him and under extreme circumstances (random like if hes bouta die but doesnt work like 90% of the time he's in a serious situation) he can fuse his aura with Armadyl and all his techniques and some skills become his during the fusion. In Armydil'z eyes he is "The Chosen One". Add him whenever you want, he has an attuide problem with his fellow teammates but accomponies them because he thinks they can lead him to the hidden power. At times he can seem like he\'s betraying the other main characters but actually he's sacraficing his life, or distracting whoever he is fighting so he can save them.

Sorry I'f he's to strong, not to make like another Naturo refrence but he cna be like Kakashi, you know kakashi has Sharingan this guy got the Armadyl thing ^.^

Hey, this is an awesome story! biggrin.gif It's really descriptive.

But I couldn't help, but notice many parts of this story are linked to Japan. For example:

-Azuma is a Japanese name, and I think is a character from Naruto.
-Etai means "it hurts" in Japanese.
-Runite Katanas... obviously.

EDIT: I couldn't help but notice the second chapter... resembles Naruto? Lol.

Ah, the popular "resembling-naruto" comment.

Anyways, Azuma is a Japanese word. It means "east" and no it is not a character in Naruto, or is it?

And Etai means "nature" in Japanese.

P.S. Chapter 3 will be out after Chapter 17 is out in The Fall Of Gielinor!
Noraowolf
Hmm... is the "e" pronounced "ii"? If it is, then it means it hurts. But if it's just pronounced "eh" then it does mean nature. happy.gif

Found another resemblence to Naruto-

The destruction of Etai? This sounds familiar...

In Naruto, a nine-tailed fox (it's huge and powerful) terrorized the village of Konoha, after the evil Madara Uchiha awakened it with his Sharingan eye. It almost completely wiped out the village, until the Yondaime (Fourth Hokage) sealed the nine-tailed fox into a newborn baby, but in doing so, killed himself. The village of Konoha was later rebuilt. Nelson's also a lot like Naruto. In fact, I misread it as Naruto once, when I was scrolling down the page. In other words-

KBD = Nine-tailed fox
Darren = Madara Uchiha
Etai = Konoha village
The guy who summoned the steel titan = Yondaime, except he didn't die.
Summoning pouch the KBD was put into = The Baby (<-I found that pretty funny)
Nelson = Naruto

I want to ask one thing to all the readers. Since my story has alot of similarity with Naruto, should I continue this way? Or should carry on with my way? Anything's fine with me! happy.gif

age:17
appearance:short brown hair blue eyes tall

bio: crassus lives for his parents they use to be bold adventurers but where almost crushed by the warriors of bandos in the god wars dungeon ever since crassus has mined rune ore in the east for money. he has a sharp rune sword and knows how to use it. And accasionaly takes his fathers rune armour and his mothers bow to train himself.

Well, yes, TheArbiter is right, Azuma is one of the characters in Naruto. Or is it something else? I haven't watched it in a long time. I was about to point out the nine-tailed fox part, but never mind. Perhaps there is something interesting in Nelson's past? We never know. Thr Runescape version of Naruto might be interesting, but I'm not sure. The majority counts!

Its been quite sometime since the revelation of Chapter 2. Well, here is the long-awaited Chapter 3!

~Chapter Three~


vienerschnitzle-A-Doodle-Do! The sound of that annoying next door neighbour's rooster had woke Nelson. He stretched and yawned, staring at his calendar.

"Today's the big day!" He said with a big smile on his face. He got up from bed and washed, putting on his Azuma Guild uniform and making sure that his Etai Amulet was clean and shiny. He wasn't very hungry so breakfast was skipped and he left for the Guild.

I can't wait to see the reaction on everyone's faces once they see Nelson the great! Nelson walked about Etai's streets with a big smile that seemed unbearable to watch by most on goers. After a while of tirelessly walking, Nelson finally reached the Azuma Guild. The structure of the Azuma Guild seemed magnificent to Nelson now that he had passed. He made sure that his clothes were OK, and that his Etai Amulet was worn neatly around his neck until he finally opened the large doors to the Guild!

To his surprise he didn't see anybody there. The entire Hall was empty and so were all of the classrooms. I guess I arrived early, Nelson thought. He walked about the Hall, hoping to find somebody, his footsteps piercing the silence which filled the emptiness of the Guild.

"Aren't you supposed to be with the others?" A strange voice said from behind Nelson. He turned around to see an old man dressed in a large White Gown and wielded a Mystic Fire Staff.

"I came early, didn't I?" Nelson said, as he spoke to one of the 4 Chosen Warriors of Azuma.

"Oh dear," the Chosen Warrior exclaimed with a worried expression. "You are late! The rest of the students are gone to train in the forest!"

"What!?" Nelson cried. "How come I wasn't told of this earlier!?"

"No one was," the Chosen Warrior said. "But since the Masters expected their Students to arrive on time they figured there was no need to inform you before hand."

"That's just ridiculous!" Nelson yelled, his hands crossed. "Where exactly are they?"

"South east from the Guild," the Chosen Warrior said. "Do you know the direction of North?"

"Yeah yeah," Nelson said, as he hurriedly left the Azuma Guild. He was disappointed in himself for being late on such a special day! He ran outside the Guild and didn't care if his clothes got messy and his Etai Amulet flung out of place. He just needed to get there before he gets too late! After a while he entered the forest and soon after met a large gathering of Students doing various warm-up exercises.

"Nelson!" Master Ivan shouted. "You're late! Just as I had expected!"

"Sorry Master Ivan," Nelson said, panting. "Its just that, I thought we wouldn't do anything that important on a first day."

"Well you thought wrong," Master Ivan grumbled. "Since you're late, you have to drop and give me atleast 50 push ups."

I guess I deserve it. Nelson dropped down on the rough forest ground and started doing the push ups.

"... 49... 50!" Nelson exclaimed tiredly. "My arms feel like pudding!" He said as he lay on the ground, exhausted.

"That was pretty good," Master Ivan said. "Now get up and get on with the warm up."

Nelson quickly managed to get up and went looking for Seren. Fortunately, he found her doing some warm ups. But unfortunately she was with Drake! Seren and Drake were talking about something. Although it seemed more that Seren was the only one talking. Nelson quickly slid in between the two and started doing his own exercises. It took sometime for Seren to realize that Drake's view was blocked by a horrid one.

"Nelson!?" Seren shrieked. "Get out of Drake's way!" She shoved Nelson aside rather harshly and Nelson fell back. He didn't give up and now tried to exercise on her other side.

"So," Nelson said, whilst spot jogging. "Seren. Are you free tonight?" No answer. Nelson felt stupid. He decided to leave Seren for now and let Drake enjoy his last moments with her for the time being. He had bigger things to worry about. His new year in the Azuma Guild!

"Alright class," Master Ivan said, as he gestured for the Students to stop exercising. "Before we begin teaching you anything we would like all of you to choose your own combat type. Whether you decide you want to learn Magic, Ranged, or Close Combat. Its all up to you." Master Ivan distributed some papers to all of his Students.

Nelson glared at his paper. He had to decide which Combat Type he should take. "Hey, Seren. What are you taking?" Nelson asked.

"Hold on a second, Nelson," Seren said. "Oh Drake! What will you be choosing?"

Drake didn't reply but he only showed Seren his paper.

"I wanted to take that too!" Seren said as she ticked her choice.

"Can I see your paper?" Nelson asked.

"No," She said, hiding her paper from him.

"Atleast let me know what you'll be choosing," Nelson said and then put a clever add on to it. "So I can choose the opposite of that."

"Really?" Seren asked. "You promise you won't choose the one I chose?"

"Promise," Nelson lied.

"Very well then," Seren said. "If that's the case, then I chose Close Combat." She ended her conversation proudly, going off with Drake. Nelson hated how much Seren hated him! But he never gave up and always tried to win her heart! Close Combat now is it? Nelson thought menacingly as he ticked his choice...

"Is everyone finished?" Master Ivan said as he collected all of the papers. "I'll now call out all of the names of those Students who chose Ranged. Correct me if I'm wrong. Laura, Guy, Ash, Luke, Elena, Paul, and Peter, please step to my left. Now for those who chose Close Combat. Brock, Victor, Charles, Melissa, Chrysanthemum, Drake, Snake, Seren, and Nelson, please step to my right."

"What!?" Seren yelled. "Nelson! You chose what I chose! You lied to me!"

"Ofcourse I lied," Nelson said, thinking he just did something very clever. "If I'd tell the truth you would never have told me your group. Now I am in your group and we can be close to each other!"

"Shut up!" Seren slapped Nelson right across the face.

"Feisty," Nelson said as he rubbed his slapped face.

After Master Ivan was finished calling out the names of those Students who chose Magic he said, "Now I will introduce you to your new mentors." Master Ivan stepped aside and from behind the forest trees came three people. One female and two males. "These are the most respected and well-trained Masters in Etai. They are ranked to the Shogun level so you need to respect them to a greater extent. This is Shogun Haru." Master Ivan said, pointing to a rather old Shogun wearing an Infinity Hat, Infinity Top, Infinity Bottom, Infinity Gloves, and Infinity Boots. He also had a Master Wand and Mage's Book in his hand. "This is Shogun Chiaki." Master Ivan pointed out to a slender but lean female Shogun wearing Black Dragon Hide Body, Black Dragon Hide Chaps, Ranger Boots, Black Dragon Hide Coif, Black Dragon Hide Vambraces, and an Archer's Ring. She had a quiver full of Dragon Arrows and a Dark Bow tied to her back. Also, her hands were holding an Unholy Book. "And finally, this is Shogun Masa." Master Ivan pointed to a well-built muscular Shogun who was wearing a Dragon Full Helm, Dragon Chain Body, Dragon Plate Legs, Dragon Boots, Dragon Gloves, and an Obsidian Cape. And he was wielding a Dragon Fire Shield along with a Dragon Broad Sword (also known as a Dragon 2h Sword but I like to call a 2h sword a Broad Sword in my story) held impressively in one hand.

"Now, Shogun Haru is the Magic Mentor, Shogun Chiaki is the Ranged Mentor, and Shogun Masa is the Melee Mentor," Master Ivan explained. "That's all the introduction I can tell, I'm off for now and good luck my Students." With that said, Master Ivan ran back to Etai.

Nelson only gulped as he stared at the massively built Shoguns. Who are these guys? Nelson wondered. Are they stronger than the Chosen Warriors?

I'm sorry if you find the Japanese names rather disturbing lol but these are The Eastern Lands. I guess you'll just have to keep on reading this way. But don't worry, the Japanese names won't be in use in the next few chapters... However, I can't change the characters' names.

Seriously...Seren is starting to remind me of Sakura, Drake is like Susake, and, of course, Nelson is irritatingly like Naruto. Master Miguel and Master Ivan remind me of those two guys who were fighting in the beginning. In that part, Naruto's former teacher, (Probably Master Ivan in this part) even gets stabbed in the back! Coincidences, yeah right. Master Miguel is sort of like the guy who convinced Naruto to steal a scroll...there are so many more things!
