Light and Darkness: A Warrior's Tale
By Revan Jast
((I own nothing from Runescape except my own character, Assasin910. He will be refered to as Assassin here. Some RS stuff will be altered, like arriving at Lumbridge. Enjoy.))
The boat rocked back and forth as the waves beat merclessly again the sides. Assassin was thrown from his bunk for the third time that night. Damn storm, he thought.
"What the hell is going on up there!" he yelled as he stumbled to the ladder. Climbing up, he forced the trapdoor open. He was blasted with rain. A wave crashed on the deck and knocked several men off. Lightning tore through the air.
One man yelled something unintellegible to him.
"What?" yelled Assassin back at him.
"Get up to the goddam wheel and steer the boat! The guy that was there is gone!"
"But I dont know how to sail!"
The man ran over to him and pushed him towards the front of the ship. "Just turn us towards land! I thought I saw some lights up ahead! Go!"
Assassin slid across the deck towards the steering wheel, his hair matted to his head. The storm raged on.
Wont this ever let up?
He grabbed the wheel and desperatly searched for some light ahead. There it was! To his right. He turned the wheel to the right and headed for land.
He went to the front and grabbed hold of the railing. The dark outline of buildings and landscapes could be seen.
The shapes were growing faster and faster. Then terror struck Assassin. The were going to fast!
He turned to run back across the ship and slow them down as the it crashed into the rocks. Assassin was thrown from the deck and to the ground below. Then everything went black.

He awoke in a room. A female nurse was rubbing his head with a cold rag.
"Where the hell am I?" he asked.
The nurse smiled. "You dont know where you are? Then let me be the first to welcome you to the land know as Runescape!"
