I had started to write this story quite a while ago but I never got to complete it with other commitments at the time so I am writing it again and hopefully I will be able to complete it this time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prologue

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The moon shone down on the small village of Draynor, the streets were empty and the only noise was a wolf howling in the distance. After a short period of time a woman appeared coming down the Northern path. She was wearing a long flowing black cloak and had a small bundle that she caressed carefully in her arms. She stopped and peered into the window of the nearest house. The house was very well furnished with its golden yellow rug lying snugly next to it's limestone fireplace, and lying in the corner of the room was a huge pile of Goblin Armour. The woman looked pleased at what she saw and walked away from the window. She knelt down by the door and placed her bundle down, reaching into her black cloak she stood up taking out a scroll and placing it carefully in between the blanket, and then walking swiftly back down the path that she had come disappearing into the night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Years had passed since the mysterious women had left the bundle on the doorstep. The bundle had happened to be a baby girl who the owners of the house had gratefully taken in. The scroll that the women had placed by the baby had been blown away only leaving a small part of it which read " I will love you forever my beautiful Emerald and we will meet again" Maria and Edward the young childless couple who had taken the child in had named the baby girl after the name on the note, and as the years went passed Emerald became one of the most beautiful young ladies that ever lived. Emerald had a happy childhood and because she was a only child she learnt skills that all girls had to learn off her mother but she also learnt skills like fighting and horse riding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the day of Emeralds 21st birthday something dreadful happened. After a long walk in the woods Emerald returned home to find that her parents were gone and the house looked like a fight had broken out. Emerald collapsed in shock and could not remember anything until she woke up 2 days later. As she opened her eyes she saw the familiar face of her best friend Anisa.

 

 

 

"Thank god your awake, we thought we had lost you" she exclaimed

 

 

 

"What happened to me i can't remember anything" Emerald stuttered

 

 

 

"Well we think you collapsed when you went into your house because your parents were gone. IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m sorry to say we could not find your mother we have been searching everywhere but we found your father. He is in a very bad shape though, do you want to see him?"

 

 

 

"Yes take me to him" she said quietly

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anisa helped Emerald up and they slowly walked out the room into another. In the room Emerald saw her father badly beaten lying on a table.

 

 

 

"Emerald" he said "Come here my daughter i have something to tell you"

 

 

 

Emerald walked towards him and he spoke again

 

 

 

"I am sorry i have not told you the truth all these years, you are not my daughter, i found you on the doorstep and took you in 21 years ago. There was a note, it is in the chest in basement. Also, i know i am not long for this world so everything that is mine will be yours. There is two hundred thousand gold pieces in the bank and several other items. The house is also yours to do with what you wish and Sammy has your birthday present for you. Now my child, i love you and always will"

 

 

 

He then closed his eyes and even though he was not yet dead Emerald knew in her heart that he would not wake up from his sleep.

Emerald walked from the house and went into her own house. She walked down into the basement and opened the chest that was in the corner. All it contained was a piece of parchment and a old blanket. She picked up the blanket and as she picked it up a small locked fell out. Emerald opened it and it had two letters K and E wrote in it. Emerald put the necklace into her pocket and walked out the house. She walked into the bank and opened her father's bank chest. It had the gold pieces in like he had said and it also had a light blue skirt and plate armour that had been blessed by one of the GodÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâs lying in it. She took everything out including her fathers favourite hat that he had been given by Santa the year before and his blood red dragon sword. She left the bank with her backpack full and walked to the nearby town of Lumbridge to see her Father's best friend Sammy. As she walked in the door he looked up at her with tears in his eyes.

 

 

 

"I am so sorry, i wish i could do more but i will fulfil your father's last wish, He wanted you to have this" he said.

 

 

 

He led her out of the house and grazing in his small patch of land she saw a perfect white horse. It was white all over apart from a small star on it's forehead.

 

 

 

"He wanted you to have this, it is the fastest horse in Runescape. He told me to tell you that he wants you to become the very best you can and to always remember that he will always love you."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Emerald sat in the empty house that she had once loved she heard a noise, she jumped up and looked around expecting someone to be there but saw no-one. She had expected to be attacked but nothing happened. She walked along the path for a while until she reached Anisa's house.

 

 

 

" Anisa" she shouted as she walked in the door, "where are you? I need to talk to you"

 

 

 

Anisa appeared at the top of the stairs and looked at her.

 

 

 

"What, can it wait i have so much cleaning to do in here and my mother is coming round for lunch later." she said

 

 

 

"Oh sorry i forgot about that, well I am leaving Draynor, I can't live in that house anymore it's creeping me out. IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m going to go to Falador and live there, I don't know why Falador but I am drawn to there more than Varrock and I want peace until i am ready to find out some things that i need to know and i will find them outÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ
