Chapter Two- Alone

"Okay, I'm done eating. Now what did you want to tell me?"

Kayleen paused, thinking before she said anything. Finally, she slowly spoke,"Kano.. you know I can't help you forever.. I have other new people to help out.. so... umm... I know it's so soon, but I have to leave you for now."

Kano caught Kayleen's serious looks, and closed her eyes for a moment. Will I be okay? Will I survive out there? ..I have to be strong. I know I can do this! Kano then opened her eyes and started to speak. "Yes, I understand. I'll be alright on my own. You taught me a lot of valuable things. Thank you for all the help."

"Thank you for understanding. And I guess I'll see you around then. If you ever want to stop by for a chat, I'll always be around Runescape with a bunch of noobs! It's been my pleasure helping you out. Bye!"

"Bye Kayleen!"

-----------------

And thus, Kano has finally moved out of the crazy town of Lumbridge and decided to travel to the bounds of Runescape. During a whole week of exploration, she visited all around Runescape. From Lumbridge, she first visited Al Kharid, which had a much different landscape then of Lumbridge's. She met new people and saw a couple of traders in outdoor marketplaces. Interesting...

Once she got out of the scorching, hot desert, she had moved onto a huge town, a size she couldn't compare against Lumbridge's. It was called Varrock. She got lost numerous of times, and people were actually more ignorant to others of a lower class. People pushing around to get to different shops.. all sorts of things were going around at once. Wow.. this reminds me of that one city back in Maple Story! Ahh.. what was it called.. oh yes, Kerning City. On the way heading to a small town called Barbarian Village, she saw a couple of woodcutters, and some miners mining away on a couple of rocks. She saw something very devestating as she watched the miners.

"Yo, dude! Are you drunk or something? Don't mine that rock or else it's going to explode!" shouted out one of the nearby miners. Everyone was running away to avoid getting hurt, but that one miner was still there not paying attention. Then... KABOOM! Everyone else was safe.. but him.

"OMG someone could've at least saved that poor guy!" shouted one of the woodcutters who saw the incident happened in great anger. The crowd became larger by the second, and it all became a big, crazy commotion. Kano couldn't bear to stay with the crowd. She felt really bad, and promised herself she would never become a miner.

So back on the journey! She trained a little bit on her own there. People in the village were poor, compared to those in Varrock. At least they are nicer than those jerks back in Varrock, she thought. The Barbarians were harder to kill; they actually had some kind of strength to fight for than those puny, muscleless men and women back where she started at.

After leveling to 14, and staying a night there, she kept going on with her adventure. The next city she encountered was one just like Varrock. Its name was called Falador. She thought they were practically identical to each other! Again, she got lost in this huge city of Falador, and ended down in the Dwarven Mines. After one quick glance at the mine, she knew perfectly well she didn't want to end up like that poor guy back at the Varrock Mines.. so she ran all the way back to the center of Falador. She felt extremely lonely, and pretty soon she became bored with the journey around Runescape. She was admiring one of the statues there, when someone accidentally bumped into her and everything that was in her backpack spilled out.

"Omg, I'm so sorry little girl! Please forgive me, I don't have much time right now because I'm running errands for this crazy neighbor of mine and if I don't hurry something bad will happen. I hope this will allow you to accept my apology." A handsome boy of about 18 years handed Kano 20k. She gasped at the large amount of money a random person had given to her.

"Wow! Thank you so much, I do accept your apology!" But when she looked up, he had already left.

What a strange boy.. He was so sweet.. I guess I can't really say Runescape is filled with nasty, mean people.

She was back on track, and went out of town, heading south towards Port Sarim. Just like any ports she have seen, they were filled with massive, giant ships.

"Let's go visit the exotic lands of Karamja! I heard the volcano is going to erupt sometime today!" Kano heard one man say to his wife.

"Alright, whatever you say honey!" She kissed her husband and then they sailed off to Karamja.

Wow they have islands here? Sounds like an interesting place.. but I don't think i have any energy to travel about on a whole new island.

She went back up the road, and arrived at a small, burden town called Rimmington. There was practically no one there! It was almost too silent for Kano, that she almost wanted to go back to crazy ole Varrock. She encountered this old witch, who practically forced her to help her with getting ingredients for her new potion.

"Uhh... and why would I want to help you? I didn't even accept your quest!"

"Do it! Your else.. you'll never leave Runescape! MWUHAHAHAHA!"

Kano, sadly, took that a little too seriously."Okay, okay! I'll help you get the ingredients! Jeez... so what were the items again?"

"Ughh, you pathetic humans! Humans and their short term memory losses! Heh heh.. okay, the ingredients are: eye of newt, rat's tail, and one burnt meat. Is that clear, my dear?" cackled the "evil" witch.

"Yes'm."

Kano got to work, but unfortunately, the witch didn't give her any pointers on where to get those odd items.

"Wow, I need to rest. All week just traveling and roaming the areas of Runescape, how tiring!" She collapsed on a green patch of fresh grass and rested for a while under a shady oak tree.

After a couple hours, she awoke, and a familiar face appeared in front of her. "Can I help you with anything? It's to repay you back for what I did before back in Falador.. so is there anything I can help you with?"
