Chapter 9 – The Guardian

Josh, who’s neck and other limbs were aching, charged swiping his blade through the air. The silver sword of his adversary appeared from nowhere coming to meet his. Upon connection their swords let out sharp cries that echoed through the cave systems. Both of them were putting enormous amounts of effort in to overcome the resistance from the others sword that were before them against each other in mid air. Slowly, the mysterious stranger’s sword began pushing our hero’s back! struggling against this new pressure, Josh tried to oppose it. However hard he tried to counter it the silver blade inched closer to him. The stranger gave one last push and Josh fell back slammed into the wall and slumped on the floor.

Wearily Josh pulled himself to his feet using his sword that he dug into the ground. He was still standing between the platform and Josh. Opening his mouth to speak, Josh released just how much the journey here has taken out of him before this fight.

“I don’t want to fight, i just want to save Varrock”

“A likely story! You still haven’t proved to me you are worthy”

“Well…” Struggled Josh “How about a Quest?”

“Hmmmm…Well…I don’t Know”

“Oh, come on! You know you need something done!” Urged Josh

“Very well! You must find me my favourite rare dish! Cooked Mole Claws!”

“Oh, isn’t that members only?”

“YES! It is!” Boomed the giant man with laughter

Josh thought for a while, and then agreed to this seemingly impossible task. Leaving the cavern he quickly hurried back into Falador. Upon entering Falador, he saw an elaborately dressed person wearing a hunting skill cape. Hurrying over Josh asked if he had any Mole claws in his bank.

“Yes, but they will only appear as ‘Members Item’ for you…”

Regardless, Josh asked for them and swiftly ran over to the other side of town where he found a stove in an abandoned house. Using it he hoped. And yes! He got ‘Cooked members item’
Running excitedly back, he showed ‘Cooked members item’ to the guardian. Who looked at it in amazement.

“How did you get this so quickly?” He gawped

“Oh…Err…I….Err….Teleported around to find the information out…”

“Yes, but how did you get down the MEMBERS ONLY hole and find the Mole? It took me ages last time i went!”

“Oh, yes, well. I…Dug my own Free hole! and I…err…Fell on top of the hole and i just cut its claw off and ran! Yes…”

“Very Well! You have proved yourself. Please help yourself to the destiny Items.”

Curiously Josh stepped past the now Gorging guardian. Up to the Plinth. On the plinth lay 3 weapons that shone brightly despite the lack of sunlight. They seemed to radiate warmth. Tenderly Josh picked up the long sword and examined it. “A Mythical sword of Light and Truth” Yielded the chat box. Satisfied, Josh staggered back up the tunnel for hopefully the last time. And started on his journey back to Varrock.
