I am ElodieMae and I'm a loner.
I'm not really sure where I am, or how I got here. All I know is, I'm in a place called Lumbridge. I can't stand wondering around without purpose or direction. I need to be accepted. I need to find a path for my life and follow it.
I have been searching this town for something or someone to give me guidance. Then finally I hear her voice, "Hello there, deary." It is the Herald of Lumbridge inviting me to pledge my allegiance to Lumbridge by wearing a Lumbridge cape.
This excites me. It seems as if this town is looking for people to protect and defend its name. Since I obviously have nothing else to do, I might as well try it out. I conjure up the courage to ask for a task to upgrade my cape, she sends me to the graveyard. Not exactly what I had hoped, definitely not glamorous like fighting dragons or saving innocent children from the depths of a sandpit. But it will keep me busy, less lonely at least.
I proceed to the graveyard and talk with Xenia to help me complete my first quest. She sent me into the catacombs. First I get sent to the graveyard, and now I have to go into the catacombs. This is getting less glamorous by the minute. But again I tell myself that I have a purpose now, no more vagrant wondering. The one upside, to going down, is that I have to save a young girl from becoming a human sacrifice. Fighting, I think I might be good at that.
Again, there is a lot of uncertainty about my skill set, or lack there of.
I find an old woman, who seems to know who, what, where, when, why and how about this whole situation. She says she will fight with me, good thing considering I could fight like chambermaid with a wood sword for all I know. Yea that hope lasted for 5 seconds, she says she is too old to fight after seeing the first kidnapper. Really, this is totally a bait and switch tactic, maybe I should kill the old lady instead and joining the kidnappers in their blood pact. That would also have direction and purpose, just evil. Maybe I was evil in my previous existence.
After a brief pause to ponder my moral dilemma, I decide to side with the righteous. I know I know, so predictable. What can I say I'm excited by a fancy cape of allegiance, heck I'm a girly girl.
So it turns out I'm a pretty good fighter, I took out all three kidnappers without pause. I decided to kill the last two because they had such vial intentions that I couldn't let them go free. My moral compass went a little crazy, but I think that I can get over it with more noble quests and fancier capes.
After exiting the catacombs I expected a parade and fanfare, but all I got was a pat on the back from Xenia and some worthless weapons. But at least I got my fancy cape.
So for the time being I have a purpose, I still have more allegiance quests to complete and bedazzling to do to my cape. Until then friends, I will continue to protect the innocent, unless of course the evil side offers pink gold-plated armor, then who knows which side I will take!
