For those of you who have messaged me on aim(gromeprix), I will answer a few questions.
DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE WHOLE STORY YET
Q. I noticed you took the charachters and clothing styles from the game and put it into your story, are there other easter eggs?
A. Yes, I have some obvious ones and some very subtle ones, but I'll let you figure it out.
Q. The chronicles is a good story, have you written any other stories?
A. Im actually writing a massive trilogy that should be published in a year! I write alot of short stories on the side and draw sometimes.
Q. What inspired this story?
A. Well, I was twelve and at that time the Ruenscape commnity was declining. I took the problems in the community, and what the game used to feel like it and incarnated it into a realistic feeling story.
Q. Theres alot of runescape stories, but you dont seem to like most... Why?
A. Im biased against stories that feel like a game, or are written as if it is in a game, Im sorry Im sure alot of people like your story but I prefer realistic feeling tales.
Q. Is this the only part of the Ruenscape chronicles?
A. No, there is actually several related works. I wrote a story that details Me-Drok's, Khyren's, and Peter's past. Mainly the war of Al-Kharid where Me-Drok defeated the, at the time, 'greatest swordsman'. There's two sequel's one about Karamaja, though I don't want to ruin anything, and another about the wilderness and Falador, though that one probally wont be published on this site because it's extremely graphic and inappropriate.
Q. Omg it ended too fast!
A. Theres many reasons why the ending is that way, and the reason we revisit Me-Drok in the final paragraph is because I wan't you to know he lived his battle and had a full life, and grandkids.
Q. Your an idiot, you used Zezima in your story, so lame.
A. Theres an immense reason why I did this: I had to. He embodied exactly what I needed, re read the story and all the talking, it will make PERFECT sense.
Q. Omg are all the god's dead! Idiot! Wtf
A. No, if you pay attention, their physical avatar's(KollodinZamorak, PeterGuthix, Khyren Saradomin) were destroyed, but he God's themselves only weakened but far from dead. As for Zaros, well, based off what you've read I hope you can tell.
Q. What's up with the big and small creature? And why is Zezima called pride!
A. First of all, the seven deadly sins are envy, lust, pride, gluttony, wrath, sloth, and greed. Zaros took these, forming originally two 'sins' and eventually three and originally used Wrath, lust, and envy to make the small miserable creature, which desires to be free of it's lord and have a normal life as a human, it's envy and lust for this fuels its wrath, which fuels its fighting prowess. He used gluttony, sloth, and greed to create an immense beast which craves to eat, and benefits from doing so. As said when Vannaka and Zaros are talking pride was useless before( If you give something just pride it would just be stuck up and overconfident and be useless) but the third incarnate he did not create, just embodied pride in Zezima(though he wrongfully claims to have created), and Zezima indeed used the pride to his power, thus he is called pride because he is the third sin.
Q. I was saddened when Vannaka died... But who killed him? The creature or Zaros?
A. I don't give much proof, but I will offer two scenarios, in my mind the first one is what happened but if you want to beleive what you want. Scenario 1. The creature fought and defeated Vannaka, and Zaros dealt the final blow with the steel two hander. Scenario 2. The two fought and the creature somehow got the blade, finishing him, or killed him and Zaros cast the blade through his body in spite.
