My name is Diango, I am...well I don't know who I am. I still need to discover who I am. Which is why I am moving to a new land, a land known as RuneScape. I don't know who I can become, I don't have any strength, I am practically useless to be honest. But I didn't let that bring me down. I can be someone, and I am going to work hard to be someone. I started my journey at the steps of Lumbridge castle. I had to find a home, as I was not going to sleep in the steps of the castle. I saw a passing ranger, he looked like he had been everywhere. So I figured he can help me.
"Hello, I am new to this land, do you know a place where I may be able to live?" I asked him.
"You can move to Draynor Village, it is an empty village, but I am sure you will be perfect there. It is a small community always looking for new faces." he said.
"How can I get to Draynor Village?" I asked.
"Follow me, I will be happy to show you where." he said.
With gratitude I followed the Ranger. It seemed like we walked for hours. But I felt we were getting closer and closer with every step I took. While we were getting there, a hooded figure ambushed the ranger. I believe it was a Shade. The Shade was pretty strong, as it was really hurting the range. The ranger looked very tired getting his arrows, and placing them onto the bow to attack. It looked pretty stressful being a ranger. I felt very bad for him. His face was sweating, he was trying his best. But I saw he could not win this fight. And I was right. I saw him fall to his knees. But before he gave his last breath, he managed to say "Draynor Village is up ahead.". And with that he fell to the floor, laying on his back. The shade disappeared after killing his victim. I went over to his body, and thanked him for helping me get this far. And with that, I closed his eyes that were staring hopelessly up to the sky.
I immediately saw that there were dangers in this land. And I was not going to be part of a target list to the creatures that live here. I continued walking up ahead, and saw a little village. I guess this was Draynor village. I continued walking when I saw a young man waving at me. He was signaling me to go to him. I did as I didn't know who to turn to.
"Hello! You must be new here." he said smiling at me mysteriously.
"Hello, I am new I just got here." I said
"I see you don't have anything with you." he said staring at me well.
"Like I said, I am new here. I want to start fresh, you know what I mean?" I said.
"Yes, I know what you mean. Well I can help you get started if you want." he said smiling at me once more.
"Um, thank you." I said confused.
"Well here in RuneScape we haven't allowed people to have horses. But you..." he was saying.
"Diango." I said completing his sentence.
"But you Diango, will be the first person to sell horses to the RuneScape people!" he said excited.
"So you are telling me, you are going to give me an opportunity to sell horses to people?" I asked confused.
"Yes, and that is going to start your new life here in RuneScape. Here take all these crates and place them on that empty stall. They will help you get started." he said.
"How?" I asked.
"Patience Diango. Just go over there, and start yelling that you will be selling horses." he said.
And with that he started walking away from me. I looked back at him, and he started laughing. He continued laughing, until he was far from my sight. I grabbed the crates and put them on the empty stall. After I finished, I started yelling that I was selling horses. And then a lot of people came running towards me! And I mean a lot! I was surrounded by a lot of people. Everyone was excited. But the excitement turned to curiosity as a lot of the people started asking "Where are the horses?". I was confused. I never realized that I never had horses to begin with. Then I remembered the crates. I opened one of them, and saw a lot of colorful toy horses.
"You think this is funny!" a ranger yelled.
"He is trying to make us look like fools!" a women yelled.
"I am sorry, I thought I was going to sell real horses." I tried to explain to them.
It was very hard convincing them about what happen. But to my surprises the people started buying my horses. Soon I earned more than enough gold to spend like crazy! I continued getting customers. I soon found out that I was the only one selling the horses. I was becoming famous already. I got a daily of 100,000 costumers. I became very rich!
While spending me time here in Draynor I learned that people were in search for Dragon Plates, Dragon Kites, Dragon Pic's. Mostly all dragon-made items. I always heard people saying that they will pay a fortune if they ever had the opportunity to but any of these stuff. I imagined myself selling these items to the people. But of course it wasn't possible.
1 YEAR LATER
I became richer than ever. I had enough money to make even the richest of people seem poor. It had been 1 year since I moved here. April 1, 2005. A day where people joke on each other. But that was in the back of my mind, as I was going to sell some horses later. To my surprise the same young man appeared at my house.
"Well Diango it seems you are a successful man here in RuneScape." he said to me.
"Thank you, I really owe you. You are the reason I am here." I said gratefully.
"No problem Diango, it is always great to help people out. But I got some very exciting news for you. What if I told you that you will be the first person to sell Dragon Plates!" he said excited.
"Oh my god! Are you serious, I would say yes if you did tell me that!" I yelled.
"Well you will be, you should get the first Dragon Plates in about a hour." he said.
And with that he left my home, and he left. I heard him laughing, and then I heard no more. I was too happy to mind the laughing, I was still excited about the Dragon Plates. An hour past, two hours, three and nothing. I started getting worried. Then 3 days later I finally received them!
"Are you Diango?" a man asked me.
"Yes, I am." I answered.
"Well we got your Dragon Plates here. Sorry it took long as people stole it, but don't worry everything is still here." he said.
"Thank you!" I yelled.
After signing some papers, he gave me a bunch of crates. I took them all to my stall and starting announcing that I was selling Dragon Plates. Just as before a large amount of people started surrounding me. Soon Draynor, and all of Barbarian Village where full of people waiting for their Dragon Plates. I opened the first crate and saw spinning plates with a little dragon image on it. That really got the people mad.
"You think this is cute?" an angry priest yelled.
"The idiot who said Dragon Plate!" a monk yelled.
"I am sorry, I was told that I would sell Dragon Plates. I thought they meant the legendary plates." I tried to explain.
After long hours of explaining, people decided to buy these plates as they were not available else where. So many people bought them, even more than my horses. Soon I was receiving more gold than ever! I was glad that I was making so much gold. I continued selling my plates, and soon I had double the costumers.
3 YEARS LATER
Three long years of selling the same stuff lowered my sales. I wasn't making as much as I used to. But it changed today on April 1, 2008. As I got a visit from the same young man.
"Hello Diango, do I got news for you. Outside I left you a bunch of crates holding Dragon Kites! And these things will making anyone fly through the roof! Get started selling these, as I am not going to give you another opportunity like this!" he yelled.
He left without me saying yes or no. I immediately got ready to sell the Dragon Kites. I then started yelling "I am selling Dragon Kites!". And I swear it only took 2 minutes before I had Draynor, Varrok, and Falador filled with people ready to buy Dragon Kites! I couldn't wait myself! I opened the first create, and found flying kites with dragon images on them. I then knew what was coming...I was not to happy as I saw everyone take out their weapons. I saw swords, staffs, and bows being directed at me.
"This is getting old Diango..." a man said.
"You aren't getting away with this one..." a women said.
"I am going to be sure you don't leave alive." a kid said.
"No please don't kill me! I am sorry!" I screamed petrified.
"Why shouldn't we, you did this to us on purpose!" a monk yelled.
"I, I will give you all each 100,000 gold pieces each." I said as that was the only solution that came to my mind.
People started talking between each other, and saw it as a great solution as they only wasted about 300 gold pieces for all my products. They agreed and I paid them all. Soon everyone was gone, and I was happy to be alive. I was left with about 200,000 gold pieces. I was just happy, I fell asleep, and didn't sell anything for about two days.
2 YEARS LATER
"Diango I heard you had a big fright 2 years ago." I heard a voice say.
I turned around to see the young man. The one who almost got me killed. I saw him smiling at me.
"You almost got me killed!" I yelled.
"Yeah, I am sorry, as I was using you as my personal April Fools joke." he said smiling.
It made sense. I arrived to RuneScape on April 1, 2004. I had no knowledge of this rude humor. I looked at him, and I laughed.
"Good one..." I was cut off.
"Andrew Gower." he said.
"Good one Andrew, you could have given me a warning." I said.
"I am sorry, I couldn't resist." he said.
"Well it is over now, thank you for teaching me a lesson." I said
"What lesson?" Andrew asked confused.
"To never believe you ever again." I said
"So I guess you aren't going to take these Dragon Pic's?" he asked.
"No thank you, I don't want to sell Tooth pics with dragon images on them." I said kind of mad.
"Okay, well I am off. Going to mine with my new Dragon Pic." he said.
I saw him take out a real dragon picaxe, and he laughed at me.
"No, I want them!" I yelled at him.
"To late!" he yelled back.
And he went off, just laughing real hard. And then I learned the real lesson, to take chances.
