After a tad bit of walking, I passed the cow pen and made it past the farm with the chickens. I made it to the path that goes left or right. I studied my map for a moment and pondered if I was oriented with the map or not. I didn't and I took a right. I walked far until I hit a gate. I saw there was no guard and I opened the gate. I walked through and saw a building, so I went in.
"Welcome to the house of the Digsite" A woman greeted me.
"Hi" I replied.
I looked along all the shelves to find a bunch of students looking for books.
"Where's Varrock?" I asked.
"You went the wrong way" A voice said to me.
I turned toward the direction where the voice was coming from to find a Level 126 standing in front of me.
"Who are you?" I asked in awe.
"I am Zezima and you were supposed to take a left at the fork in the road" The guy replied.
"Thank you Zezima" I said as I ran out of the house.
That was my very first encounter with the number 1 Runescape member and I felt so foolish that I was 120 levels lower than him. I thought that I should have acted more appropriately in front of him, but I didn't ponder too long until I hit this giant castle wall.
"Wow" I exclaimed to myself.
I stared at the guards who just walked around as though nobody was allowed in. Suddenly, I felt weak. I was barely able to turn my head to see a Level 7 Dark Wizard trying to attack me. I walked as fast as I could toward the wall and was able to escape.
"I never want to do that again" I said to myself as I started to regain strength.
I walked over to the Blue Moon Inn to buy myself a drink.
"Bartender! One beer please!" I yelled to the man wearing a white apron.
"Coming up" The bartender said as he passed me a beer and I passed him 2 GP.
"Where are you from stranger?" The bartender asked.
"I just came from Lumbridge" I replied.
"Ah. So you're a new member I see. I suggest pickpocketing the local yocals for some cash" The bartender said.
"Thanks" I said as I walked off.
I quickly found out that all the locals had been killed and there were none to pickpocket. I went to the bank to relax for a bit before continuing my journey.
