O' best beloved, it was an age of turmoil which this land existed, for it belonged to turmoil and peace, and which, for eternity, a blood soaked land.

Chapter 1, Light

Joe was not the average person to sit in a class, extraordinarily talented, he always worked without haste, although the rest of the class moaned at the boring work, Varrock was a land of crime, an unforgiving land which he was incarnated inside, the forbidding burial of the miserable childhood. He grew up in the suburbs of the city, not the slums, but not a respectable position either. He was a medium-built young man with a shock of brown hair and Varrock has made his hair paler than ever, every plant he grew died in the rough city air.

When he was 18 and of age, his class were taken to the neighbouring nation, although, to him, that was no more than lines of walls marking the edge.

"Be ready, you have to board the ship" the teacher ordered.

He looked at the surroundings, it was a port, massive man-of-wars lined the port, along with a few small ships, his class was herded to a small ship, which an old man smiled at them.

"Good grace, lads and girls, you look strong already!" He smiled, but Joe saw a trace of sadness in his voice and a hint of strong defiance. "My name's Ned. Right then, I'm taking you to the island which you should start your life as an adult, you will come back to the mainland afterwards".

Joe wordlessly boarded the ship, a knight stood there, He looked at them with surprise.

"Boys and Girls, Welcome to my ship! May Saradomin's grace protect you, come and see me after you finished your training!" He smiled, although Joe knew that he was not really happy, and Joe heard him whisper "If I was still alive after the trip after this, that is."

Chapter 2: The island of the adventurers

"What are we going to do there?" Joe asked a girl next to him.

"To do our training, I think, and prepare for real adult life." She replied, her name was Alison, unlike him, she was a pampered girl living in the outskirts of the small city. She has long blonde hair and eyes as blue as the all the sea was worth, she was beautiful.

The sea was unforgiving even in a clear sky, the small and fragile ship flew up and down in the waves, Joe reached for a lonely spot at the rear edge, and vomited for a good five minutes, the kind knight brought him a bowl of water and a piece of silk to clean Joe.

"A laddie like yourself should not be afraid of the sea," the knight smiled. "You should live with it, and soon you are the king of the oceans."

Soon they went past landmarks of the famed land, the Wizards' Tower stood lonely in the sunlight, and he was sure the purple light on the ground was supernatural, it was what they have studies about in the school, but nothing can be compared to the sight when they actually saw it, it was breathtaking, wizards in blue held large staffs, and Joe saw one of them lifting a boulder and sending it crashing onto the mossy sea rocks.

"Land is in view" Ned shouted "Prepare to land!", Joe felt his heart hammering against his ribcages.

The ship landed on the shores and the Adults-to-be walked on the island, which was tiny compares to where they was supposed to go, a ring of light glowed on the ground, and everyone queued, the captain gave everyone a numbered card.

"They won't let you on if you don't have it!" the captain shouted as the knight hauled the anchor up with the teacher on the deck waving at them, and the ship spun back to where it came from, disappearing into the horizon.

As soon as he walked to a portal, the magical force grabbed him and he disappeared into the ground and zoomed out on a spot in a house.

An old man in red and white greeted the group.

"Welcome to the island of Tutoring! from here you will learn the way to adult life and as an adventurer!" the man said at the group. "Outside is the first tutor you will meet, learn from her, for you will be glad that she taught you this."

The group of youths listened, and went to the courtyard, a woman was standing there, wrinkles of age deep around her eyes, she had a reddish axe at her hand, but it was shaped like no other, Joe reconised it immediately as the Dragon axe, he knew that he will never be able to whield it ever, since it was an object of nobles called "members" that roam this land.

"Hello" the woman spoke."I am the survival tutor, and i will teach you about staying alive even in the most dangerous of bandit countries. First of all, you need food to survive, and you also need to cook your food, since we cannot eat them raw."

She took up a heap of mesh-like soft objects and handed them to each of the youths.

"Use this to fish in the pond nearby, there is lots of shrimps there."

Joe took the net, kneeled at the edge of the pond, and lowered his net inside the water, three tiny shadows swam in and he immediately lifted the net out of the water. Alise, as she would like to be called, got only one shrimp.

"shrimps in this lands do not grow the long intestines there once was, but it makes the hassle so much lesser."

Alice looked at her shrimp in pity, Joe could tell she was reluctant to kill it, but she have no choice and neither does he.

"you can light a fire now, your shrimps, which will be dead by now, can be cooked to be eaten after you cooked it."

They put down their nets by the pondside, resting the shrimps on top. Alice looked especially uneasy.

They walked to the tutor, she told them to watch her cutting down a tree.

She swung the axe at one nearby, and in one stroke it was severed and the tree fell, she chopped it into logs and then told the group to do the same.

"As you chop down more trees, you will be more skilled in the art, if you don't handle it correctly then you will find that your axe would break, and I'm sure you all wish to avoid that."

Joe swung his axe at a tree nearby, finally after a couple of strokes the tree fell, shooting splinters, which luckily hit no one.

"Now, let's light a fire, arrange your logs into a starburst-shaped pile, and take these and use this on it"

Everyone was handed a box with a durable, oily and woolly metallic material inside, which they plucked with a metal hexagonal tablet, sparks flew out, and soon the leaves caught fire, then the twigs, and finally the logs, the survival expert told everyone to take their shrimps, and roast it over the fire.

"Just hold it by the tail like this.... there, don't get your fingers burnt!" the Survival expert said.

Joe cooked the shrimps, these small prawns are now red and no longer twitch, he picked it up and quickly wrapped it with leaves to avoid getting his fingers burnt.

"Hey, that's nice... everyone! like Joe here, if the shrimp is too hot, use a leaf to hold it!"

"Go on, tuck in! In the huge swamps, adventurers have to eat snails!"

Joe bit into the shrimp by the back, after removing its shell, it was delicious, but flavourless.
