The strange old man!

[Gizzern]

Well, the story I am about to tell, is about a guy who lives in the world of RuneScape, and has lived there all of his life. His name is John. Without furder ado, I bring you The Strange Old Man!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John opened his eyes slowly, as to brace himself to the shock of the sunlight crashing in through the windows. But there was no sunlight. He sat in his bed, his back against the wall, and looked out threw the small square window. Outside there was a light mist, quite unusual weather to be in Draynor. In fact, the previous time there had been anything else than sun in RuneScape was over 20 millennias ago, far before John was born. He decided to find out the reason of the strange mist, and stepped into his small leather boots and dressed up in his well used Mime clothes. His family was a poor family, his mother was working at home and his dad worked in the Dwarven Mines, without a big salary. The Mime clothes he had acquired when he met a mime in the woods of Lumbridge, his daily ritual, and he had met a Mime who had been lost in the woods for two days. As John knew the woods as his own pocket, he helped the Mime into Draynor, and as a sign of gratitude he gave John a Mime set, as he always had two sets with him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to present time, John ran downstairs, down a creaky and old staircase, and looked for his mother, Sarah. He checked out the living room, the kitchen and her bedroom, but she was nowhere to be seen. John didn't worry, as his mom often went to the river Lum and washed their clothes. The house he lived in, was right northeast of the bank in Draynor, and John decided to go to the bank and withdraw some of his Coins, as he was going to the capitol city of Asgarnia, Falador, and try his hands on merchanting. He had earned alot of money on merchanting earlier, but as his family was one of the poor sort, he had to spend it all on food, as it was more necessary than hundreds of coins in a bank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He didn't eat, as he was still stuffed after the great feast yesterday. A feast which was organized after his father and several companions struck a huge gold ore in the Mines, and his Dwarven superiours was generous enough to arrange a great party. John walked down to the the bank, where he had been uncountable times earlier, and he was used to dozens of people rushing in and out, eager to withdraw and deposit their belongings. As he got closer to the bank, he saw something out of the ordinary. There was a guard outside the bank, and as John was a curious kid, he decided to ask him what was wrong. After a long discussion, he understood that someone had broke into and robbed the bank, hence the crack on the northwest corner of the wall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"But that's awful", John began, "who would do such a thing and break into the bank?".

 

 

 

"Well, apparently someone did.. We have a magical scrying orb which records the bank area for us, for safety, and that thing has recorded this.. Want to see it?"

 

 

 

"Yes, don't mind if I do, I just want to clear up this," John answered, noticing his adventurous instinct taking over.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The guard led him to a closed compartment of the bank, and showed him a little box with moving figures on it. John watched in awe, as he saw a man use great magics to kill four or five innocent people, John was so shocked he didn't even manage to count straight. After the slaughter had ended, the burglar stole a Blue Party Hat from a girl, whose destiny was very unfortunate. As a last action, the evil thief turned towards the camera, and managed to break it with his powerful magics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Oh my god", John muttered, "this is the worst thing I've seen in my life.. Have you people managed to find out who the evil guy was..? Damned be him, killing so many people only for items.."

 

 

 

"No, we're sorry, but we have no clues, therefore we can not find him.."

 

 

 

"But you've got the video tape, isn't that enough..?"

 

 

 

"Well, it's quite difficult to find a person amongst all the citizens of RuneScape, and all from a video recording," the guard continued, totally uninterested in the whole situation, for John it seemed like he didn't care at all.

 

 

 

"I will find the guilty, and we shall punish him as he deserves!!" John yelled out in rage.

 

 

 

"Good luck indeed John, I will support you in every way in your search," the guard assured, and walked slowly out of the bank again, to patrol his assigned area outside the bank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who robbed the Draynor bank? Where is Sarah.. Why is there a strange mist covering RuneScape..? Tune in next week, and read for yourself!

Pretty good for a first timer, I liked it. I'm glad achimage made that comment about the video tape, that took it out of the Runescape feeling. Seems like you have a plot set up that could take you quite a ways. I will be sure to read your next installment.
