Chapter 12: The power, the old man and Syafei9

My palms are getting sweaty, knees weak, and I am waiting for her move. She lifted her battlestaff, which was an earth staff by the way and pointed it at me. "Earth blast!" Chunks of earth appeared out of the blue and began forming up in front of her, before she released it at me. I tried to dodge it, but the coldness of the night made my joints slower. The blast hit me right on the shoulder, and I was sent flying to a nearby tree.

My back slammed on the tree with brute force, powerful enough to break the tree down. "You can never defeat me darling. Face it, you are nothing but a failure. It will take weeks before you can stand up again." She laughed and turned around the face the moon. I forced myself to stand with all the pain, flowing through my body. "Unlike you, I am no loser. If I fail, I will keep trying." Blood could be seen at the corner of my lips. I looked at Ballbags32 who was fending off the undead with his bow and pickaxe.

"If you keep trying, you will surely die, and I don't want that to happen. Who will fight with me when I am bored?" She said it filled sarcasm. I charged at her with my blood sword and swung it. She jumped back, faced her palms at me, and I was blown off my feet. "What, the hell was that?" I said in a weak voice. She laughed and walked up to me. She lifted up my chin and her face was inches from mine.

"Turn back now, or Crystal will die. I will not be held responsible for any actions done. If you continue on this path, you will die with her." Electricity passed through my heart, jolting it every second. I screamed at the top of my lungs and looked down. Sapphire's hand was on my chest, killing me inside. It was insane, my whole body jerked, trying to escape the pain, she is inflicting on me. She slowly stopped and stood up. "Remember what I said." Everything was fading out, my heart was racing, I breathed heavier than normal. Sapphire disappeared into the night, leaving nothing but wild roses.

Ballbags32 ran up to me he was screaming out my name. "Sin! Sin! Wake up! Stay with me! C'mon man, wake up!" He shook my body, trying to keep me from dying, but nothing could be done. Everything slowly faded black. I don't know, am I dead, or alive.

"Where am I? Hello? Is anyone there?" I am standing on the vast of darkness, no floor, no ceiling, no walls, nothing. It is just filled with darkness. "Hahaha! You are here." A dark shadow appeared in front of me. The shadow slowly changed its appearance. I was looking at myself. "What is this madness?" I lifted up my hand, and the image followed. It was like looking into a mirror, except that there is no mirror at all. My hand touched the image and a slight jolt could be felt, waking me up from my slumber.

"Arghh!" I yelled, "Ahhh!" Ballbags32 flew off his chair in shock. "What! Who, where? Oh, it is about time you wake up, you got me worried sick!" Ballbags32 got up and adjusted his chair. "What is all this screaming about?" A wizard rushed in the room. "Oh, thank Saradomin you are alive. No many live from that kind of status." He walked up to me and lay his hands on my forehead. "Looks like you are stabilizing. Rest while you still can, being an adventurer can be tough."

"Where am I?" I asked completely stumped. "Well, you are in the Wizards Tower, in Draynor. May I ask, what were you doing in the middle of the forest at 1 am in the morning?" He placed his hands on his hips. "I-i-i...I don't remember. What were we doing in the middle of the forest Ballbags32?" Ballbags32 shook his head in disbelief. "I think that blow to the heart caused you to forgot some important information."

"What does heart have to do anything with brain?" I asked, slightly angry. "Nevermind heart or brains! I just wanted to know what were you to boys doing in the forest? Is that so hard?" The wizard removed his wizard hat for a moment to wipe his sweat on his forehead. "Well, we were supposed to meet someone in the forest, but we were attacked by a crazy bitch named Sapphire." While Ballbags32 explained the story, I looked around the room which has blue colored brick walls and a wooden table lay next to the bed. The plastic clock says 11:34am.

"And that was that happened, yesterday." Ballbags32 folded his arms on his chest and looked at the wizard. "Interesting, but I think the sound effects were not needed throughout the story." The wizard commented. "Oh, sorry about that, just wanted to make the story more imaginative." Ballbags32 grinned. "So, Sin, are you feeling better?" I placed my hands on my head. "Felt like I have been run over by a truck." My head wobbled a bit. "Run over by a what?" Ballbags32 said. "What? What did I say?" I looked up at Ballbags32 who was wondering what I said. "Oh, don't mind me, I am just rambling." I looked down at the floor.

"Well, I need to get back to work, or else the head wizard will be very angry." The wizard tipped his hat and left the room. The moment he left, I tried to stand up. "Gah, this stings." My muscles were in pain, felt like they were ripped to the core. "Hey, calm down, the wizard asked you take it easy, there is no rush."

"How can I calm down, when Crystal is in trouble?" My voice was soft, but there was some anger in it. "Everyone look at the draynor bank!" A wizard yelled. I looked out the window, there was a crazy old man, holding a staff with a golden cross at the top, killing anyone who stands in his way. A burst of lightning cracked the sky and landed on the bank's wall, breaking it apart. The crazy old man walked in the hole and the rest of the scene was blocked by a wall. "What the hell is going on?! Everything in this world seems to go crazy!" I yelled.

"I am going to help those people, you stay right here Sin."

"While I do what? Sit here and hum a tune?" I said to Ballbags32. "Um, you could be my spotter. Tab me when anything you see looks fishy." He said. I sighed and nodded.

Ballbags32's Point of View.

I climbed down the stairs, hoping that Sin will do a good job. I reached the ground floor and ran down the stone bridge. The sound of screaming and crying could be heard from a distance. I have reached at the east of the draynor bank. I could hear crashing and bashing inside.

"And YOU can stop spying on me!" After that, a sound of glass shattering. "Ballbags32! The old man is on the move, I repeat, the old man is on the move!" Sin contacted. I ran around the corner of the bank and saw the old man walking away, casually with a blue party hat on his head. He walked around a corner, and I chased after him. "What the fish?!" Sin yelled over the friends tab. I ran down the corner where the old man was, and he disappeared. "What happened?!" I asked Sin.

Sinlimitless's Point of View.

"What the fish?!" The old man disappeared. It looks like he teleported away. "What happened?!" Ballbags32 asked. "I am not so sure, I think he teleported away." I answered. He is no where to be found in my line of sight. He was gone. "Well, I am going back to the tower. Over." I stuffed my tab in my tab pouch and lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling. "Who was that man?" I whispered. The door opened and it was Ballbags32. He sat on a wooden chair, breathing heavily. "So, what do we do now?" He said. "I don't know man, I can't do anything. This blows." Another person walked in the room, surprised filled his face. "Oh, sorry, I must have walked in the wrong room." He quickly left and closed the door.

"Wait!" I called out to him. The door reopened. "Who are you looking for?" I sat on the bed, my back muscles screaming at me. "Oh, my name is Syafei9, and I am looking for a wizard name Sinlimitless." My heart jumped. "Wait, Sin is not a wizard. Who told you that?" Ballbags32 turned his head and looked at me and Syafei9. "There was this pretty lady, who asked me to find you here. She said that I must deliver you this letter." Syafei9 dug into his pocket and retrieved the letter. "Here you go." Syafei9 handed me the letter.

"I will always be ahead of you, no matter what. The jolt I gave you is a power, which only you must unlock yourself. The power of dark magic. Maybe someday, you can rescue your friend and defeat me."

I read the letter in my heart. The paper slowly burnt away, leaving nothing but ashes. "What did it say?" Syafei9 asked. "Oh, she just said hi, that is all." I lied, but someday, he will know the truth. I don't want anyone knowing about this. "Is that what she REALLY wrote?" Ballbags32 folded his arms. "Pretty much, yes...maybe...I think so, why?" I asked back. "Oh nothing, are you feeling slightly better? I don't want to sit here all day. I heard that, if you sit too long, your butt will get bigger." His voice slightly annoyed.

For some odd reason, my body felt much better. "Hey, I can move now!" The pain still exists in my body, but that won't stop me from adventuring. "Just don't strain yourself, okay?" Ballbags32 said. "Hey um, can I come with you?" Syafei9 asked. His eyes filled with excitement. From the way he looks: Black hair, black framed glasses, bronze chain mail and steel dagger, I guess we could let him join.

"Can you fight?" I asked. "What?!" He retort. "Can you fight?" I repeated the question. "Oh, yes I can!" He replied. "Good, then let us go." We left the room, and I bumped into a wizard. "Oh, sorry about that." I apologized

"You better be sorry! If you didn't I will burn you into a crisp!" The wizard was different from the others. He wore dark, black robes, with a slight red trims on it. He marched up the staircase, mumbling something furiously. We walked up to the top floor to see what was there to see. The moment we walked at the top of the staircase, a door slammed into the distance. I guess that must be the angry dark wizard. "Don't mind him, my name is Mizgog, Wizard Mizgog to be exact. What brings you all up here?"

"Well, my name is Sin, this is Ballbags32 and Syafei9. We were all just exploring this tower." I answered. "Haha! Nice to see a new adventurers. Best is to stay away from Wizard Grayzag. He likes to pick on meek wizards like me." I scratched my head and asked him a question. "Why you? I meant, why Grayzag like to pick on you." A small yell could be heard from a room not to far ahead. "Wizard Grayzag! Not Grayzag you fool!"

"Don't mind him. It is because I am weak. Last few days ago, he summoned a batch of imps into my room and they messed up everything." He said. "Sorry, to hear that, was anything missing?" I asked. He nodded his head, in sadness. "Yes, my four colored beads. They were magical beads used for magical purpose. If you can retrieve all four of them, I will be very grateful." He smiled. There are over hundreds of imps in Runescape. "It is like searching for a needle in a gigantic pile of haystack." I said, trying not to yell. "Well, if you are lucky enough to get prick by the needle, then you are able to find it." I raised an eye brown.

"What I am trying to say is, if you find the right imps, you are bound to get the beads. Right?"

"True, true. Well, we shall see what can we do." He thanks us and was went downstairs. I heard growling while we were at the top floor. Wonder what it could be.

We saw a purple portal at the second floor. We aren't allowed in because our runecrafting weren't high enough. Runecrafting? What the flan is that? Finally we reached the ground floor. There was a library filled with wizard, and a ladder leading to the basement.

The basement was different from the top floor. Rocks were everywhere, floor, ceiling and walls. There was a room around the corner, we went into. There was a wizard, old and tired. He was holding a blue book and running his hand, down his silver beard. "What? Who goes there!" The wizard quickly grabbed his hat and battlestaff and pointed it at me. "You here to touch my battlestaff eh? Just like those group of people a few days ago?! Not on my watch!" He swung his battlestaff and five fire bolts appeared. Floating, waiting for the master's order.

"No escape." He mumbled. The fire bolts flew straight at us, hitting us in every direction. "Gah!" I yelled in pain. We all gave in to his power and knelt down in pain. "Tell me, what do you boys want?" He walked up to us. I looked into his eyes. Eyes filled with power, knowledge and strength. "Tell me, before I finish all of you off."

"We were, just, exploring." I wheezed the words out. "Is that true, how can I trust you?"

"I don't know. Maybe, maybe we can offer you or service?" Syafei9 asked. "Well, I suppose three stooges wouldn't do any harm. I actually have a package from the Duke in Lumbridge. I want you to send him this letter. Do not open it." We all nodded our heads and left the basement.

"Well, time to head back to Lumbridge." I said. "Don't you want to explore Draynor first?" Ballbags32 asked. "Yeah, it is going to be great." Syafei9 added. "Well, we still got time, sure." They both ran ahead, down the stone bridge, laughing to see who will reach at the other end first.


Well, that proves that Sapphire is slightly a bad bitch...whoops..I meant bad person.
