Asher the Survivor

Chapter Ten

‘’Joining forces with a sorcerer has always been my goal.’’ Asher rejoiced; knowing this was the first step to wizard-hood. ‘’Well Asher, i couldn’t have a better companion.’’ Dylan stroked back his short dark hair. ‘’What happened to your tail?’’ He asked. Asher felt very strange and awkward without it. He explained he traded it to a witch, thus explaining why he said he has nine lives.

‘’Well how about we go see Toni? I need to go fetch her water anyways; and while we’re there we’ll announce we’ve joined forces.’’ … ‘’Fetch her water?” Asher questioned. ‘’Yeah, ever since Xer failed to drown her, water shows up at her door, begging to strangle her.’’ …

And so instead of sailing Asher and Dylan, (now together) walked towards Toni’s cabin. Dylan was now relieved to have a companion nearby, it has been several lonely years since the death of his wife…
‘’Toni! Toni!’’ Dylan and Asher greeted. ‘’We have something great to tell you!’’ The Boltcat spoke. ‘’This sorcerer and i have joined forces!’’ …’’That’s great news!’’ Toni rejoiced. ‘’Dylan , I knew speaking to animals would come in handy for you!’’... ‘’It sure did.’’ He replied, looking appreciatively at Asher.
‘’Well it’s about time i fetch your water.’’ Dylan then headed off to the river, carrying an empty bucket with him…
‘’Asher,’’ Toni gazed at him. ‘’I know one day you’ll be the highest of Wizards.’’...
After a while, Toni suggested Asher and Dylan go to Wish Weed Island.
So the two of them left and did as she suggested.

Since Dylan left his canoe far behind, the two of them would have to swim across the water. ‘’Are you ready for this?” He asked, the cold pierced through his heavy black boots. Asher shivered the second he dipped his blue paw in. ‘’For a Wish Weed, i’d do it.’’ His teeth clattered together. In an instant both of them jumped in, swimming to the Island not so far away.
‘’You're a Sea Sorcerer, can’t you do something about it?” Asher forced the words out, as he was short of breath. ‘’I can do this-’’ Dylan pushed the waves away, making it easier for Asher to swim. ‘’We’re not that far.’’ Both of them turned to look up at the island, from afar it looked yellow, but that’s just because it was covered in so many Wish Weeds. When they reached the island, both of them were violently shivering. They hugged each other hoping to regenerate heat. ‘’Ughhhh.’’ Asher exhaled, letting go of Dylan…
Still feeling cold, his navy colored fur clung to his body. He walked over behind a tree, and began to make his wishes on a yellow flower.

I Asher the Boltcat, wish to gain magick,
I wish to become a Wizard,
I wish for me and Dylan, and Toni to become great friends.
I wish for Dylan and i to make new memories together,
I wish to use forbidden star magick someday,
I wish for all these things for I am Asher.

And while he was making wishes, Dylan was doing the same thing…

I Dylan the Sorcerer of the Sea wish to become great friends with this Boltcat,
I wish to get revenge on Xer,
I wish to help Asher become a Wizard,
I wish for Asher to learn whatever magick he wants,
I wish to help Asher get revenge on Beltros,
I wish all these things because I am Dylan the Sorcerer of the Sea.

…

And after making these wishes, (and eating the flower) Dylan and Asher then reunited.

‘’Oh no!’’ Dylan shuttered, spotting a figure in the distance. It was Evron the Sorcerer of Smoke.
