Chapter 5
In the real world now. Dark was talking to Blodeuwedd (her owl, Blod for short), and Aeron was sitting, waiting for them to move on. He was still thinking as to why she had kept it. Under elven law, any non-humanoid creature that showed its loyalty to any other entity other than Guthix or Seren was automatically put subject to extermination. But, this was Dark, and he trusted her.
"You're mine now," whispered Dark to Blod. "And I need you to do something for me. You're a very smart owl, Blod. You must understand. Go to the city of Varrock, and see if there are any survivors. I will attach a note to your leg, and you're to bring it to them. Anyone you see, ok? Don't get hurt Blod. Please. I'll miss you too much," said Dark with a grin. With that, she pulled out a small piece of parchment and a stick of charcoal.
~Note~
Greetings, to any survivor out there that still has a little humanity left,
I am one of the survivors. (Well, one of many, on my part. All the elves have survived, under the protection of the great and wise god, Guthix.) I am looking to help other survivors. Currently, we (only two of us, though) are near the city of Yanille. Please respond, making note if it is urgent or not, as we have other cities to visit. If not, we will still keep in touch. And when we come, we will come with food and healing.
Sincerely and with hope,
Dark Menatathiel
~End of Note~
Dark took out a small length of string, attaching it to Blod's leg. "Godspeed, little owl," whispered Dark, as she threw him into the morning sky. He took off, hooting in goodbye, with a knowing purpose, possibly holding the future of Runescape on his leg.
"What was that all about?" asked Aeron.
"I have sent a letter to Varrock, one of the greatest and most populated cities in Runescape, to see if there were any survivors, for I do not want to travel thousands of miles only to see an empty city," replied Dark.
"Well, can we go now? You dawdle and chat with your unholy bird, and we make little progress," Aeron said.
Laughing, Dark agreed, "Fine, let's go."
