Subject: 'John'

The following is a log and record book of the subject known as "John" currently being research by the mage's guild.

First incident.
The following took place in the Wizard's tower near Draynor. The conversation is between a magical investigator whose name has been witheld and one of the head researchers.

Investigator: "Excuse me... Do you have a moment, sir?"

Researcher: "I suppose I do, what is it, ****** ?"

Investigator: "I've been noticing something strange going on recently... A spike of magical energy."

Researcher: "Probably just a few rogue mages fighting. Where is this located?"

Investigator: "That's what's bothering me sir... It's all over."

Researcher: "A war perhaps?"

Investigator: "No sir.... They all come as similar energy spikes, meaning it's from a singular source."

Researcher: "Interesting... Where exactly have these spikes occured?"

Investigator: "That's what makes even less sense.... The first recorded one appears to be in central Varrock... Five minutes later however a very similar spike was located in the middle of the Karadian Desert."

Researcher: "What kind of magicks were used?"

Investigator: "They seem to be foreign to us, sir."

Researcher: "Sounds more and more like a Mahjarrat."

Investigator: "That may be... However the Varrockian authorities had no idea something happened despite there being a large release of magical energy, not to mention they tend to stay away from densely populated areas. Especially Varrock unless they plan to cause physical harm."

Researcher: "So there were no casualties reguarding the Varrock incident?"

Investigator: "There doesn't seem to be anything effected by the Varrock incident."

Researcher: "I am beginning to see why you are so concerned."

Investigator: "It seems it would be pertinent to monitor and investigate these signs."

Researcher: "You have my permission, please exercise caution however."

Investigator: "I will, sir."

Second incident.
The following took places several weeks later. There have been more incidents of sudden energy spikes and seemingly nothing affected, this time areas include Burthrope, Varrock, the Academy of Heroes, Falador, Ardounge, and random sparesly-populated areas. The aformentioned investigator is interviewing the only person within 10 kilometers when the energy spike was detected. Interviewee is describe as average male and hermit. he lives alone in the areas south of Ardounge.

Investigator: "I thank you for agreeing to be interviewed."

Hermit: "It is no problem at all. Ask me what you would wish to know."

Investigator: "There appears to have been a spike in magical energy here recently. Has anything strange happened in the past few days?"

Hermit: "Actually, yes there is one incident and I believe I know what you are speaking of."

Investigator: "Please, tell me what happened."

Hermit: "It was two weeks ago, the plants around this area came down with some disease, there was nothing to eat for myself or the local animals. I feared starvation."

It should be noted at this point that the location of the Investigator and the Hermit is lush with vegitation.

Hermit: "As the animals deserted this place and I was about to leave, I was approached by a strange man."

Investigator: "Please describe the man."

Hermit: "He wore a dark black suit with a white tie, however this suit looked very foreign. Perhaps he was from the far east."

Investigator: "What about facial features? What hair color did he have?"

Hermit: "Oh yes! His face..."

At this point the hermet appears confused, his face begins to contort in pain.

Hermit: "His hair was.... His eyes were..."

Investigator: "I appologize, is it to painful to remember?"

Hermit: "It is not that, I can't seem to remember anything about the man physically other than his suit. The more I try to remember the more my head hurts. I think- did he even have a face? "

At this point the hermit doubles over, clearly in pain.

Investigator: "Relax, stop trying to recall it. Simply continue with the story."

Hermit: "The story.... He said that there was a way to solve this. I asked him what his name was and he replied 'John'. I asked about the way out of it and he said that he had superiors that would gladly grant that the area bloom again. He said all he needed was my agreement on it. I asked him what the cost of such a thing was and he simply said an hour of my time. I said I would be alright with that. He produced an odd piece of paper and a quill pen and told me to sign at the bottom. I did so and asked him what he wanted me to do for an hour. He said to come with him. I agreed and I found myself in a small room."

Investigator: "So you were teleported?"

Hermit: "No. I have been teleported before; this was different. It was as if I simply came to exist in the room, or the room came to exist around us."

Investigator: "Can you describe the room and what he had you do?"

Hermit: "I am afraid not. I do know that the trees did bloom and the animals did return. He kept good on his word."

Investigator: "Thank you for your time."
