Chapter Three- The Beginning of a New Friendship

It took Kano a few seconds to realize who it was. It was that one guy who accidentally bumped into her.

"Nah, I'm cool.. wait.. I kind of need a little bit help on this one quest this old witch forced me to do."

"Oh, right, that wicked quest."

So he helped me throughout the quest. He gave me lots of tips on what to do whenever I am alone. For once, I didn't feel so lonely in Runescape..

When Kano returned all the items for the witch, she was actually surprised she got them so quickly. She gave her a reward, and she left her alone, thankfully.

The guy who helped Kano and herself decided to rest at the Falador park, and they introduced themselves.

"Wow, after all this time, I still haven't introduced myself to you! What a shame.. well, first things first: My name is Kenny. What's yours?"

"My name is Kano."

"I see.."

There was a long pause of silence, both of them just staring at the big, black sky. Finally, Kenny decided to say something.

"Hmm, let's stop wasting time. Do you want to go somewhere or do something?"

Kano thought about it for a moment. "Well.. I'm pretty sure I covered the major places of Runescape, but not all of them.. Basically I want you to take me to places that I haven't gone to yet. I would like to see you fight some of those gruesome monsters!"

Kenny chuckled. "I don't know.. I'm still pretty weak for a level 35.." Kenny saw the disappointed face in Kano. Quickly changing his mind, he said,"..but I guess I can take you to this one 'secret' place of mine that not a lot of people would go to."

"Great! Let's go!"

Both of them had lots of energy in them and headed to a place close to Rimmington. It was that one cove where you can mine the blurite ores. Kano saw a ladder that led down the cove and immediately went down.

"Wait!" shouted Kenny, frantically,"Don't go down there yet. Remember this is not a place where you see friendly monsters. You have to be extremely careful! Always stay by my side and never go anywhere without asking me first."

"Aye aye, captain!"

Once they entered the cove, they saw a bunch of pirates.

"Shh.. don't let them see you, or else they'll attack you. Let me handle them." Kenny motioned Kano to hide and watch him from behind a barrel as he handled a few pirates. They all ganged up on him, but his overpowered slash attack killed them all.

"Wow that was unbelievable! I wish I can do something like that!" Kano shouted excitedly.

"Shh! Be quiet here, the monsters are very sensitive to sound. You're just lucky there aren't any pirates that heard you, since there's none left!"

"Oh.. I'm sorry." Kano apologized.

"It's alright. Now let's go in deeper. Stay by my side. And remember, either whisper or say nothing at all." Kano nodded.

In the next level of the cove, there were numerous amount of hobgoblins. They were slightly harder, but they looked a lot more deceiving than the pirates. Again, Kano made sure she wasn't seen by the hobgoblins. Kenny killed them all with no sweat.

"Easy."

The area where the hobgoblins were was very slippery, because the next level of the cove contained ice warriors and ice giants, which is an area covered in snow. He accidentally slipped on one of the ice-covered ground and he took off, landing right in front of an ice warrior.

"Crap!" Kenny panicked, who didn't know what to do. He was barely a level 35, and yet, the ice warriors were at least 10 levels higher than his. Just imagine the ice giants as well!

Kano didn't know what to do. She was told not to make any noise, or else she would be caught also. But Kenny was in trouble! More and more ice warriors came up to Kenny, all surrounding him. I hope I know what I'm doing...!

With all of her new magic skills she had trained on, she thought it was a perfect time to use it. Though it was only a fire strike, it is something vulnerable to those ice warriors! SWOOSH.. she shot one at an ice warrior, which caught all of their attention. She hit another ice warrior, and now they became more alert. It didn't do much damage, but they were smart enough to notice that Kano was the main kill now. All of the ice warriors trampled on top of poor Kenny, and a whole army of them marched towards Kano. Each step a little closer to her..

"KANO! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" Kenny was barely able to walk, with one of his legs fractured badly. Kano was even more paranoid and all she could think of was shooting more fire strikes at them. Great. Look at what position this has put me in! Please.. someone.. help me..

But the fire strikes were pretty useless. There were too many of them.. it wasn't affective enough.. "C'mon!" she heard Kenny cry out and grabbed her hand and made a run for it. We were too fast for those slowpokes.

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

Kenny collapsed outside at the top of the cove. He calmed down for a bit before he started to talk. "I'm sorry for what happened back there. I wasn't planning on going that far! I swear! And you didn't have to save me back there! You were just lucky my other leg was working fine.. Next time, please.. just make a run for it. It's the best thing to do in situations like that."

Kano was still a little shocked from what happened back there, and helped Kenny with his injured leg. "It's okay, we're all fine! Just calm down.. I'm not mad at you, and I know you didn't slip on the ice on purpose."

"Yeah.."

"There, I wrapped your leg around. Just don't move it too much or it won't heal. I had some herbs a random passerby gave me for any type of injuries." Kano ordered, and Kenny obediently nodded his head.
