Runescape Chronicles
Rune Mysteries
Duke Horacio tapped his foot impatiently on the floor he heard steps on wooden stairs and sat up.A Guard with a young man with scraggly black hair and in black armor. "Oh great, another pickpocket, do with him as you please."
"No, sir, umm.. This is the adventurer who we said we would find for you.' The Duke's look brightened. "The One for the Quest?" "Yep, that's me!" the adventurer smiled humorously. "Let him go and leave us." The Duke commanded. The Guard released his grip on young Joe's arm and clanked back down the stairs.
"So are you the one, calling yourself…Player Killer, and.. Quest Solver?" Horacio asked. Joe nodded, he had put up a few fliers around Lumbridge and a couple surrounding farms that he would be your quest solver, if you happened to need it. And it told them that he had been staying at Bob's Axes. Bob was the one who suggested the idea, already sending out Fliers to cities such as Varrock and Draynor Village. He had a nice lot of customers too.
"Good then." Duke Horacio smirked. Then I have a Quest for you." The Duke eyed him for any signs of backing out. But the adventurer stood there, smiling politely and glancing from corner to corner at the side of his eyes. "Hmmph." He mumbled something and said "Well, I need to send this Air Talisman to a wizard named Sedridor, at Wizard's Tower. He is a Research Wizard. You got that?"
Joe nodded. "Good, and he'll probably ask you to help him a bit I'm sure. So go off now, the quest is easy. I'm sure you can do it." And Joe bowed and then ran off down the stairs. "The Boy is too serious." He thought aloud and turned down to a scroll and started reading.
Joe clanked across the wooden-planked bridge to the Wizard's Tower. "Didn't think I would be here again so soon." He took the Air Talisman out of his pack. A Wizard studying the plantlife on the outside of he Tower looked up and gazed at it like it was a whole treasure chest of gold. And as he walked into the Tower, Wizard's gave him greedy glances at it out of the corners of their eyes. He walked up to a gray-haired one with a bun in her hair. "Where is Wizard Sedridor?" Joe asked. She looked at him, glancing at the Talisman out of her eye. "The Basement, studying the ruins." He turned around and sighed, the Basement, again?
Joe hurried down the stairs and at first sees nothing, before he got used to the almost complete darkness, excepts for the light of a couple torches. There was some muttering in the corner. He walked over to the Wizard. At first the Wizard didn't notice him, he was studying the ragged corner of the Tower, writing a diagram in the scroll he was holding with the other hand. And his glasses had a glare in them, it looked like he had been in that spot for hours. "Wizard Sedridor?" Joe asked.
The Wizard looked up with a start, and dropped his quill onto the floor. "Oh, yes?" he bent down and picked up his quill and put it back in the glass container filled with ink. "I have an Air Talisman, compliments of Duke Horacio." "Aah, the Talisman?" Joe handed it to him. "Ahh, soon, the craft of runemaking may just be possible again." He turned back to Joe after setting the Air Talisman on the rock shelf.
"I need you to give this." He pulled out a purple box. "This contains absolutely vital research on crafting runes. And I need you to take it to Aubury, a Magic Shop owner, he is in the slums of Varrock. And there are muggers and theifs in that area of town, you need to be careful. And don't get caught in any gang issues, okay?" Sedridor told him And then gave the box to Joe to put in his pack. I'll be seeing you in a few hours." He smiled and shooed him off.
Joe ducked behind a building and walked into the slums. There were ominous sounds coming from what seemed like every corner, and it was made up off alleys and small streets with graffiti and loose stones on it. Joe tried to stay in the shadows. A woman was running by, she was yelling and running from a masked man in a red sweater. A mugger. Joe felt obliged to protect the girl, he slowly slid his mythril scimitar. From its sheath, and sprinted through the shadows. The Mugger was fast, and if he didn't take him soon, he'd hurt the poor girl.
He sprung out of the shadows from against the building and slashed the mugger across the back and kicked him to the ground, unconscious. The Girl tripped just then, falling on the stones. He stood over her, holding his scimatar and holding his hand out to help her up. She scrambled backwards and got up off the ground, running from him. Like he was a lesser demon. And that screaming was sure to have already attracted a band of thieves. He waved his hyands as if shooing off an invisible person and turned to find himself face to face with the Magic Shop. A splintered wooden sign hung over the entrance, which was surrounded with graffiti. He slowly creaked open the door, their was a filter of dust wafting through the room. Light from the windows lit the place nicely, put the light seemed eerie and strange.
"Aubury?' Joe called quietly, not wanting, for some reason, to disturb the solemn silence. "Yes?" a young man in a white undershirt, and a tan vest walked up to the counter. He leaned on his elbow and looked at Joe uninterestingly. "Umm, I have some stuff from Wizard Sedridor for you." Joe looked around nervously.
Aubury's look brightened and he stood up, and reached down below the counter. He put a few scrolls, tied together with a couple rubber bands on the counter. But before he gave Joe anything, he opened a scroll from inside the box and read a couple paragraphs. "Hmm, I'm sure my notes can help Sedridor as much as anyone else's can. Because if this works, we may be able to start crafting runes again." He picked up the scrolls by the rubber band and tossed them to Joe, who caught them and put it in his pack.
Joe wiped sweat off his forehead and entered the Wizard's Tower again, and hurried down the stairs to the basement. Already pulling out the scrolls and tucking them beneath his arm. He ran up to Sedridor. "Aah, you're back? Do you have anything from Aubury?" Joe nodded and put the scrolls on the shelf. "You can go spend a bit in one of the guest chambers of the Tower, you're no doubt tired from all this traveling. I will come and tell you to come back in an hour or so.
Joe nodded, and walked out of the basement and up a ladder and into a guest chamber, resting until Wizard Sedridor needed him again.
Sedridor sent an apprentice mage up to get him, Joe got up. Fully rested, and hurried down to see what he'd found.
"Well, Joe. I found a nice bit of stuff. Because Aubury but the thing in freakin' code, so it took me a couple hours to decipher it and all. But he has a nice amount of stuff here. He has more time to go out and explore Runescape for new info." Joe swallowed. "But the good news is," Sedridor smirked. "We can now, once again, craft runes1" Joe's eyes widened. "And you can be teleported to the Rune Essence Mine!" "Rune Essence?" Joe wondered. "Yes, you mine it to make runes, Aubury sent me the hidden coordinates for it. And we can teleport you there. All you need to do is mine out some Essence with a pickaxe, ofcourse, bring it to one of the Rune Altars around Runescape, then bring it to the altar in the place you are transported to."
Joe nodded thoughtfully. "Now go, I have much more studying to do! You shall be one of the first in the land to ever runecraft before the word gets out to the masses!" and Joe hurried out. Wondering as he walked out of the Tower, the sun was approaching the horizon. He'd probably spend the night at Draynor Village tonight. (hint, hint)
Well, there ya have it folks. Rune Mysteries for ya, and I gave you just alittle hint about the next Quest he would be doing, hehe. The next two quests he would be doing..
