The following day, John went from the inn to the nearby Shanti Pass. He was greeted by a few guards, and laughed at by a few nearby adventurers. He walked up to the actual pass, and read a sign posted on one of the stone arches. He read it, and ignored its warnings. He attempted to pass the arch, but a guard stopped him. He asked for a pass, which John handed over, just like Nightwolf the Dark had explained to him that he would need to do. He entered the intense heat of the desert and started to walk accross the sandy land, in a south-western route. He eventually came accross a town, and met up with an archeologist. The man explained of a treasure in the desert, which he was willing to split with John, if he helped the man to obtain it. John eagerly agreed.

He left the desert shortly, and sent an eargent message to Nightwolf. He stated that he had learned of a treasure in the desert. Instantly, Nightwolf became interested in the fate of John. He told John to meet him at the inn in Varrock, to discuss this matter. John began to treck back to the Shanti Pass, until he met up with another adventurer, who had what seemed to be very magical robes on. This man asked were John was headed, and he replied, "I am headed to the Varrock Inn, to meet up with a friend of mine." The magical man was shocked at why this poor lad was walking there. He said, in a rather happy tone, "Well then, I think that I may be able to help you with that task, young lad." John was confused as to how this man may be able to help. He quietly asked,"How in Runescape can you help me with that?" The mage gave a hearty laugh and responded, "With a very powerful teleportation spell of course." And before John could say another word, the mage clapped his hands together and held one up into the air. Large purple beams of light collected in his hands. John was lifted into the air, by similar pillars of pinkish-purple light. John was instantly dissolved into the air.

A few seconds later, the world reconstructed into John's view. However, he had found himselft in the inn that Nightwolf had stated to meet him at. Nightwolf looked over and saw John appear out of thin air, and was slightly shocked at this. He then realised that John must have met a mage who was willing to Teleother him to the Varrock inn. He approached John and addressed him, "Well, I see that you made it a high priority to attend this meeting with me." He quietly chuckled to himself. He then turned to John again, "That old archeologist is just pulling a trick on you. He told me that story long ago. I found the treasure of which he speaks, but it was no coins or jewelry, no, it was an ancient and powerful knowledge of the ancient magicks. I have honed my skills in the magicks of those ancient times, and I feel that you are ready to learn these skills aswell." John was eager to learn these magicks that many people had spoken of in the past, however none knew how to cast any spells from the ancient times. John was told that he must come with Nightwolf to the ancient pyramid, and practice the arts of which he would be taught. He eagerly followed Nightwolf to the familiar Shanti Pass.

Instead of the courtious man that John had seen in the few days that he had known Nightwolf, he now saw a ruthless man as Nightwolf pulled out a staff with a glowing bulb of blue energy. He bent down and then jerked his body back up, throwing his arms into the air as he did so. I wondered what he was attempting to do, until I saw very strange water droplets flying through the air, toward each of the guards. Once each guard had been hit with the water droplets, a large block of ice formed around them. The blocks seemed to suffocate the guards, their eyes becoming bloodshot, and their bodies being crushed by the constricting ice. The ice blocks began to drip, and the ice finally disappeared, after about twenty seconds. The crippled guards, along with Shanti, fell to the ground, lifeless. Nightwolf spoke very quickly, he said, "Do you like the powers that I have demonstrated for you? That is the power of the Ancient Magicks. They can poison your enemies, reduce their accuracy, freeze them in their tracks, and drain their health to replenish your own. They also inflict massive damage and can affect many people at once." As John pondered this, he followed Nightwolf through the desert. After what seemed to be hours of trecking through the desert, they arrived at a massive pyramid. John followed Nightwolf around the pyramid, to the back of the pyramid. John followed Nightwolf down a corridor, into what seemed to be an altar room. Nightwolf instructed John to pray at the Altar, John's mind was overtaken with the knowledge of the past. He blacked out, and before he hit the ground, he heard Nightwolf's laughter, soft and irritating.
