Morning came, and it was time to move on.
She left some money with one of the monks near the monastery entrance in gratitude for the room they let her spend the night in.
Well, let is the wrong word. She had hidden away all her necklaces sporting the symbols of the gods of Glienor except for the one with a silver symbol of Saradomin on it. She was still wearing her monk's robes; they were comfortable traveling clothes. And convenient.
When the monks saw her approaching the monastery in the evening, they insisted she stay with them for the night. Providing shelter for a traveling saint was a blessing on the monastery, and this woman radiated holiness.
She had left one of the apples she was carrying in the room she stayed in.
She had decided to stop in Falador to buy some things and visit the bank. There was talk in town of a meeting between the White Knights and the Temple Knights to discuss the recent actions of the Kinshra, the Imperialists up north, and troubling news from the kingdom of Kandarin.
They were about to receive more trouble. This city, so tightly controlled by the Saradomists, deserved trouble. There were armed guards patrolling almost every corner of the white walled city. Luckily, they couldn't pay attention to the activity of everyone in town; they couldn't watch every dark corner. Penny hid in such a corner, carving something into one of Evil Chicken's apples.
She inspected her work. Huh, no browning in the cuts she made into the apple. She hadn't worked that quickly.
What's with these apples?
She peeked out of her hiding spot occasionally to watch the movement of the guards. When she saw an opportunity, she ran up to the moat that separated the White Knight's castle from the rest of the city.
"Goddess, guide my hand."
Something crashed though the window, sending shards of glass at those who were standing near it. That something rolled to a stop at Sir Eppe Tischus's foot. Sir Amik Varze and Sir Tiffy Cashien were at the broken window searching for the miscreant who broke the window. They saw nothing unusual outside, and turned to the room to find what had been used to break the window. Sir Tischus picked up the apple and brought it to their attention.
"KALLISTI?"
Penny was already out of the city. No one would think of stopping one of Saradomin's traveling saints. When she was at the the only gate of Great White Wall, she switched her Saradomin necklace for one with the symbol of the god Guthix hanging from it. She would be staying with the Taverly druids tonight.

So, I went to Wal-mart to get a pay-by-cash card, but I only found Gaia, Club Penguin, Warhammer, and other gift cards for shitty dress up games. Sucks
I know Pay-By-Cash is a bit more expensive, but I am willing to pay a price for my anonymity. See, I am a sneaky bitch, a clever girl.
All your secrets shall be exposed to the Lidless Eye. The Great Deceiver has spoken in a voice they were willing to listen to. There will be hell to pay when the gates of the West finally fall before me.
As my momma always said, the devil is a great actor.
For some reason I feel like telling a story
My grandpa, on my dad's side, was Yezidi before he met my grandma, a Russian. I said was, because, well, the Yezidi are strange. You may have heard of a group of Kurds who are particularly friendly to the US troops in Iraq. Heck, the Kurds are already friendly to the Americans because the Americans "liberated" or are at least protecting them from the Iraqis, Arabs, and to some degree, the Turks. The Yezidis, on the other hand, since the aren't Muslim, need protection from their fellow Kurds, thus, they are extra friendly to Americans.
Not too friendly though, as they deem contact with outside groups polluting. That's why Grandpa was Yezidi; he got a bit too friendly with a Russian.
The Yezidi aren't persecuted just because they aren't Muslim. Those of you who are more well read in whats going on in the Middle East, religion, anthropology, or the occult ramblings of the great hucksters Goths, Scientologists, Discordians, Subgenii, etc., are inspired by may have heard of The Cult Of Angels, the Devil Worshippers living in the Northern part of the once Fertile Crescent. Those are the Yezidi.
The Cult of Angels name comes from their belief that the world is ruled by the Heptad, God's seven Archangels. Chief among them was the Peacock Angel, Melek Taus, Shaytan, Lucifer, whatever. The more powerful a divine being is in a Abrahamic religion, the more names they tend to have (especially if uttering the true name of the being is forbidden). The story of how Satan came to rule the Earth is a story common to the Abrahamic religions, but it is the interpretation of it that separates the Yezidi from the Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
The story goes that God created the angels before he created humans. God gave the same command to the angels as he would eventually give to humanity; that they shall not bow to any being besides God. God then created humanity which was superior to all previous creations. God commanded the angels to bow to humanity, and all did except Satan and his comrades.
What happened next is where the stories diverge. The more popular version of the story was that Satan disobeyed because of his pride. Satan was God's most cherished angel, the most perfect of the angels, and knowledge of this gave him great pride. Satan and his comrades were thrown out of heaven as traitors. Because of man's later willingness to sin, Satan slowly gained dominion over the Earth. The Yezidi version, however holds that Satan disobeyed because of God's previous command that he should bow to no one but God. The Yezidi reason that God's true will is reality, and can not be disobeyed. God's command to the angels that they should bow to humanity was a test, therefore. For Satan's obedience, God rewarded him with dominion over the earth and made him chief of the Heptad.
Either way, Satan gains dominion over the Earth.
Hmmm
I haven't clarified what I promised to clarify earlier.
