Xaruliz's Journey to Luclin Part I
by
Xaruliz
A mystic voice soared through Xaruliz's mind and said, "3 minutes lizard, be patient." Xaruliz hissed at a Nexus Scion, "I wisssh to travel to Luclin." He handed him the stone and he sat to wait. He watched as the Norrath Spires came alive and transported him to the faraway moon. He entered the center of the Nexus and hit the ground crouching. Xaruliz talked with many of the guards known as "Defenders." He entered a sort of strip mall which included a large arena, horse stables, about 20 banks, and many many merchants. "So much for the tunnel in EC," he thought, "this zones has no faction and has bankers, horses, an arena, and supplier merchants." He asked the stable owner how much his cheapest horse was. "87,000pp," he responded. Xaruliz fell backwards, "WHAT?! I'D RATHER CATCH ONE MYSELF!" Xaruliz fled back to the bank, where he met Baron Wing, an officer of one of the biggest guilds known to Brell... The Silent Redemption. Wing, in his time, had aquired the rank of Baron and Officer and achieved 2 of the best 1HB weapons in the game. A 16 19 and a 15 19, both with many other adds and saves. Not only this, he had a nice horse of his own. Wing looked down at Xaruliz, who was holding his Wu's Trance Stick and Centi Warhammer in hand. He laughed and said, "Well hello, young monk. What would you like today?"

"No-no-nothing s-s-sir..."

Baron Grandmaster Wing laughed again, "Do not be afraid, good lizard, I shall not hurt you, unless you are looking for trouble."

"No-no s-s-sir..."

Xaruliz felt a jabbing at his ribs, and he spun around immediately. There, stood the young reptilian shaman, Jible. The shaman proceeded in saluting Xaruliz and said, "Whatcha up to monky?"

"Just exploring," said Xar, "shall you join me?"

"SURE!!" said the shaman, excitedly.

With that, the two proceeded back to the Nexus. A Haven Guard came blasting out of a cave and ran by them at full speed. The duo stared back at his tracks. Within seconds 10 Haven Guards lead by a Haven Customs Officer came running back towards the cave. Xaruliz and Jible stared at each other, both thinking the same thing.

"So let's go already!" they both said simultaneously.

The two entered the dark caves and tried to keep up with the guards. They stopped at a line of the ugliest creatures the lizards had ever seen. Jible resisted the urge to puke, but Xaruliz had seen much worse in his days.

"What are they?" asked Jible.

"...Netherbians..."

The guards were busy with a long line of drones and warriors, but something caught Xaruliz's eye. A Netherbian in the very back was shouting orders to the rest of the creatures. Xaruliz leapt through the air, and rebounded off a drone's dull head. He landed behind the enemy lines near the leader. The beast glared at him and said, "You... dare help the humans?"

"These aren't the humans from Norrath and do not share the same path, which means you, my friend, are about to meet your death."

The little creature turned to blow through a horn he'd laid on the ground. Xaruliz disarmed him before he could make more than a whistle. Xaruliz made the first move towards him with lightning-fast attacks. The Netherbian was no match for the Veteran Monk and fell in a matter of seconds. Xaruliz grabbed his Centi Warhammer with both hands and smashed the Swarmcaller's horn to pieces.

Xaruliz was looting the corpse when he felt a hand slide by his shoulder. He instantly felt hell explode inside his stomach and fell to the ground. Stunned, he lay there, not able to move from the pain. He saw a Netherbian above him equipped in dark armor as he went unconscious.
