Life In A Whole New World
A man in a white shirt, maroon pants, leather boots, and a blue jacket woke up from a deep sleep. "Hmm…hello?" The man said as he stood up. It was like he was just born. Everything seemed new to him. He looked around and saw a castle behind him. He read the plaque on the door. It had the words Lumbridge Castle on it. "Hmm…a castle?" He couldn't think straight. He walked along the walls of the castle to clear his mind and saw a girl with a black wizard's hat. She was fighting a weird looking creature with her bronze sword. "Hi!" He said. "Umm…could you hold on a second?" The girl replied to him. With that the girl swiftly slashed the monster that then disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Rats, only ashes." She said.
She turned back to the man. "Yes…um, what's your name?" The girl asked wanting to be introduced before having a conversation. "Oh, sorry." The man said. "I'm Hacky Dotty." "Oh, nice to meet you Hacky Dotty, now…you had a question or comment?" The girl responded. "Yes, I was wondering what you were just fighting." Hacky Dotty said. He then scratched his head while trying to think about the monster and why the girl didn't give him her name. "Oh, well I just fought an imp. Those pesky creatures are everywhere in this world. I was trying to get a certain item from them." "Oh?" Hacky Dotty replied. "Yes," The girl said. "but I'm in a rush. I must be going." With that, the girl ran off behind the castle. Hacky Dotty decided to leave this area because it was getting more crowded. He left the gate guarding the castle and headed down a path.
He passed a furnace where you take ores that you mine and smelt into bars for smithing and crafting, he passed a general store that would buy just about anything, and he also passed a bunch of sheep. As he was walking, he saw those imps again. He also saw another type of creature. He didn't pay any attention to the monsters. He soon came up to a chicken coop. He saw a raw chicken on the floor and picked it up. He figured he could cook it on a fire and eat it later. He came up to a man with blue spiky hair and pointy beard. He was wearing a dark blue shirt and dark blue pants. "Excuse me?" Hacky Dotty said. "Yes?" The man replied and turned around. It was none other then His good friend Kootnippip. "KOOT! Is that you?" Hacky Dotty said excitedly. "The one and only." Koot said with a big smile.
"So, what do you need from me Hacky?" "I was wondering if you could cook this raw chicken for me. I know you're a lumberjack and starter of fires among other things." Hacky handed Koot the raw chicken. "Of course friend." And with that Koot took out his tinderbox and 3 logs. In a matter of seconds, a fire stood in front of Hacky. "Here." Koot gave the chicken back to Hacky. "Huh? But I thought you were going to cook it." "You cook it Hacky, it will make you a better cook." "Ok!" Hacky said. He held the raw chicken in his bare hands over the flame. Soon, a wonderful smell went through the air. "Mmmmm, did I make that delicious smell?" Hacky said. "Opps, sorry." A random person said as he passed the two. "That was me." The man finished. "Oh gross." Hacky said. "Ever hear of a bathroom dude." Hacky finished. He knew the delicious smell was coming from the cooked chicken in his hands. "Thanks Koot." Hacky said. "Anytime, now I want to ask you something." Koot got all serious like. "What are your unique skills Hacky?" Hacky sat down on a rock and pondered this.
"I don't know." He said. "What if we make an agreement?" Koot started to say. "I only cut wood, make fires, and smith between us, and you…well, first we have to figure out what you do." Koot sat down on the ground next to Hacky. Hacky thought about what unique skills he would pursue. What skills would make him stand out above the rest? He then remembered the other day when Koot was looking for a miner to get him ore to smelt. He also thought about the raw chicken he just cooked. "I GOT IT!" Hacky said. "My skills will be cooking, mining, and crafting runes." Hacky said while waiting for Koots response. It took a few minutes for Koot to reply. "Oh, ok. I only cut wood, make fires, and smith between us, and you cook, mine, and craft runes between us. That way, we can help each other. Ok?" Hacky stood up and gave his answer. "I don't know. I don't want to make this agreement yet. I mean, I just figured out what skills I will pursue. I'll tell you my decision later." "Ok!" Koot said. In a few short minutes, the two headed back on the path. They passed a sign telling them they were heading towards Draynor. That night, they went their separate ways. Koot went back towards Lumbridge Castle, and Hacky spent the night in a kind man's home.
