(A/N)

Thanks for the reviews, everybody. This chapter is when Benjamin meets Jay Riley. Thanks for the review!

The bank incident had scared the wits out of me. But anyway, I knew I had to finish my tutorial. I had just spoke to the Financial Guide who didn't provide any good information. I wondered where did Darkie go, when I reached a chapel with strange carvings everywhere.

Inside, I bumped into a... newbie? He was wearing a Leather Body, Leather Chaps and Leather Vambs. He looked down at me. "Watch it, mega dweeb," he muttered, as he helped me up. "Sorry about that." I replied, and the curiousity just build up in me. "Um... why do you have... those?" I pointed to the armour he was wearing. Could a newbie have such an armour?

"None of your business," the newbie said, who was now prancing around the chapel like mad. I strode away from the crazy kid, and spoke to a bald man, who seemed like a monk. "Hello. Welcome to the chapel of holy Saradomin. My name is Brother Blaine," he said, and bowed courteously.

"Who the hell is Saradomin?" I muttered, not feeling very polite. Brother Blaine gave me a look of... what? Displeasure? And he replied, "Saradomin, the God of Order, who fights for good. Zamorak is the God of Chaos, who fights for evil. Guthix, the God of Peace, is stuck in the middle."

"There was once a time there happened a war called the God Wars. So because Saradomin and Zamorak came to war with each other. They left the world of Runescape in tatters, but luckily, Guthix rose from his slumber and stopped the war." Brother Blaine continued. Not very interesting information.

"Anyway, I am here to teach you about Prayer," said Brother Blaine. "When you use Prayer, you are blessed with the power of Saradomin."

"Why not Zamorak? Or Guthix?" I asked. I knew it was rude, but I was getting curious. I knew it was rude because Blaine was glaring at me already. "Because Saradomin invented Prayer. Not Guthix. Or that low Zamorak. They were too lazy," sneered Blaine, when suddenly a cloaked man entered. He raised his hand. "Fire Blast!"

A magical blast of fire struck the altar, making it burst into flames. "There goes your altar, Blaine," the man sneered, who turned back his cloak to reveal his face, a middle-aged man with shaggy red hair. Suddenly, a flying Bronze Arrow landed just beside the man's shoe. A cool voice ordered, "leave them alone."

The man's gaze turned to the crazy kid, who was preparing to fire another Bronze Arrow. "Oh? I'll just come for you instead!" the mage smirked, and shouted, "Fire Blast!"

The crazy kid neatly dodged the magical blast and fired an arrow at the evil mage's head. The mage screamed as the arrow pierced into his forehead. With a swift move, the crazy kid shot three arrows at once that pierced into the mage's abdomen. I stared in awe. What accuracy!

Seemingly unhurt, the mage pulled out the arrows and hurled them at Brother Blaine. "Duck!" I yelled, and brought Blaine down. The arrows flew over our heads and hit the wall.

"That's Jin," Blaine whispered. "He's a notorious Mage of Zamorak on the mainland. I wonder how he got here... and why?"

I brandished my Bronze Sword and Wooden Shield. "Let's play!" I yelled, and lunged myself at Jin. I was on top of him in a few seconds. Swiftly, I plunged my sword into his abdomen. Jin gave a painful ear-piercing shriek, before he turned to us, his face twisted with rage and pain. "You haven't seen the last of me yet!" the mage yelled, as he took out a few stones. The stones vanished as he roared, "Varrock Teleport!"

In a second, Jin had vanished into thin air.

Another attack? I thought. They were getting old. First the bank robbery, and now this. And they all vanished by teleporting. How ironic.

After shaking Blaine's hand, I scooted out of the chapel with the crazy kid. I nudged his shoulder. "What's your name?" I asked. I didn't want to refer to him as the 'crazy kid' all the time. He looked at me, and smirked. "Jay Riley. Call me Jay," he said, sprinting along the path. I was struggling to keep up. "Hey! Wait up! My name is Benjamin!" I yelled, as I entered a barn. Jay was already inside, speaking to a wizard. It was pretty obvious he was one seeing his pointed wizard hat and wizard robes.

"Hello! I'm Maxie, but just call me Max. And who would you two be?" the wizard asked.

"I'm Benjamin," I said. "Pleased to meet you."

"The name's Jay," Jay shook hands with Max.

As they were shaking hands, I was adding Jay to my Friends List.

Max handed me and Jay 60 stones each that pulsed with a magical aura. "They are called Runestones, the source of all magic. Without Runestones, you cannot cast spells." Max said seriously. Then he smiled. "Why don't you guys try your hand at it?"

I checked my Runescape Book, and flipped over to my Spells page. The image of a spell was glowing. Wind Strike, it read, that required one Air Rune and one Mind Rune. I checked my 60 Runes. 30 Runes were Air Runes, while 30 Runes were Mind Runes. Inhaling, I raised my hand. "Wind Strike!"

A bolt of wind flew from my hand and hit one of the chickens pecking away in the barn. They didn't attack, they just ran for their lives. Jay did the same thing. But he wasn't enjoying it. I could see he was very dedicated to Range.

From the corner of my eye, I spied Jay littering his Runes on the ground. Max didn't notice. "Well, you're done here. Now to try another spell that does not require Runes. "The Lumbridge Home Teleport. Just follow the instructions listed on your Spells page." Max then strayed away to attend to another newbie who had just arrived.

Following the instructions, Jay and I sat in a magic circle that appeared out of nowhere and chanted, "Teleporta Lumba!" and purple smoke rose around me. I was too excited to realise this was the same spell Darkie had cast a few hours ago. When the purple smoke cleared, I was in a town whom Max dubbed Lumbridge. Jay was right beside me. I grinned. It was time for adventure!
