Double post because of character limit:
It got silent for a minute... I just couldn't believe what I saw... The Zamorakians were planning another attack... Not just any attack... A dragon attack.
"Let's just stop them now! I got a few runes with me..." I whispered to Zogoran.
I was about to stand up, until Zogoran replied: "No... Wait... There are more troops coming from the cave..."
He was right... About 30 men in red robes walked towards the dragon egg. It was a horrifying sight. I could litterally feel the evilness at such a distance. It was as if their red robes were actually glowing... Or even burning.
"Hey..." Zogoran said. "What's that guy with the staff doing? You're the mage, do you know what he's doing?"
"Hmm..." I took a look at the staff, which was obviously a Zamorak Staff... I could easily recognize the emblem. "It seems as if he's remotely controlling something or someone... I couldn't quite say..."
"Hey, he's pointing towards Luthas' house..." Zogoran pointed at the docks.
"Wait... He's a Saradominist, right? This is no good, we have to warn him..." I started running down the vulcano, without tripping this time. I closed in on the docks, evading trees and branches everywhere. I shouted Luthas' name multiple times, but he couldn't hear me.
Zogoran was still on top of the vulcano. He saw me running and followed me. When he was about to chase me, Luthas' house exploded.
"What...? How could THAT have happened?" I said to myself.
I looked at the remains of the old house... It was nothing more than a smoking pile of wood... Few crates of bananas outside remained unscratched, while some were blown into the air, spreading yellow mush everywhere.
Zogoran finally managed to get to the docks too. "I think I know what happened... Remember that package? From the old man? I think... Yeah, we've brough explosions into Luthas' house..."
"I told you we should've opened it?" I said angrily. "Now it's our fault he's dead..."
------------------------------
"Don't worry... It's going to be alright..." Zogoran replied. "I mean, of course we brought the package in, but I doubt people will accuse us of killing him... Either way, we have to watch those Zamorakians..."
We both ran back to the vulcano. Once there, we saw a purple teleportation circle. "Too late..." I said. "But now we can check on the egg!"
Zogoran climbed down into the cave. "Stay here, in case they come back... I don't have a weapon on me, so you'll have to defend." I nodded.
I don't know how long I've waited... It seemed like a very long time... All I could think of was Luthas'... Poor man... I was also afraid that we'd be killed in return for bringing Luthas that package. I watched the smoke blow in the wind... It almost cleared away, then Zogoran came out of the cave.
"I found the egg alright... It's sealed behind some kind of magical forcefield..." Zogoran sighed. "I couldn't get close to it... They placed it over a little pool of lava, so it'll keep warm..."
"Maybe I can do something about it..." I tried to keep up hope.
"I doubt it..." Zogoran said. "The only thing we can do now is train and get stronger... It might hatch in about a month... Maybe even earlier..."
"I guess... We'll have to gather an army!"
"NO!" Zogoran interrupted. "If we tell everyone about the dragon, they will panic... Haven't you heard the tale of Ilverg?"
"Yeah... Those were some dangerous times..."
"Exactly! We cannot let that happen again... WE have to kill it... Not an army, WE..." Zogoran looked really serious about this.
"Alright... If just hope that this dragon is not related to Ilverg..."
Zogoran turned his head towards the ground. "Well, it is, actually... It's written on a stone tablet down there... Its name is Elvarg..."
"Dang... We don't have a choice but to train, I guess..."
"Indeed... You work on that Blizzard spell you've been bragging about... Make it work next time..."
